Federal Budget Deficit Swelled to Nearly $1 Trillion in 2019
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/us/politics/us-federal-budget-deficit.html

"WASHINGTON — The United States federal budget deficit jumped 26 percent in the 2019 fiscal year to $984 billion, reaching its highest level in seven years as the government was forced to borrow more money to pay for President Trump’s tax and spending policies, official figures showed on Friday.

The deficit has now swelled nearly 50 percent since Mr. Trump took office and it is projected to top $1 trillion in 2020."
​

What happened to goodl ol' GOP fiscal responsibility?

Or that Trump campaign that he was going to elimate the deficit in 8 years? Looks like its right up there with "Mexico will pay for the wall."

EXCLUSIVE: We Asked Every GOP Senator About Impeachment. Seven Ruled It Out.

(And those 7 should recuse if it goes to trial because they’ve reached a conclusion without hearing the evidence.)

If Al Bagdhadi is indeed dead this time, that's a good thing. Thanks to our intelligence agencies and special forces for making it happen!

(It would have been appropriate if POTUS had thanked them before thanking Russia though)

The concerns here are that where Al Quaeda was weak and scattered when the SEALs took out Bin Laden, the situation with ISIS is different. For one thing, Al Quaeda was more local / tribal, ISIS has a very strong online presence and does a lot of their recruiting online. Al Bagdhadi retained control of the caliphate but he had relinquished control of ISIS (the terrorist organization) to someone else back in early August - THAT leader is still presumably alive. And over 800 ISIS prisoners just escaped. They will be seeking revenge.

Bed Bath & Beyond has removed all black Jack-o’-lanterns from their shelves after complaints. Racist pumpkins.
This is where we're at.

Complaints were from white liberals.

Could only be from them!

You gave up all your rights to privacy and live in a police state all to kill one psychopath in need of a shower. Seems fair.

And over 800 ISIS prisoners just escaped. They will be seeking revenge.

Gotta keep that fear machine going. Are there any rights left to give up? Let's have them!

Some fun facts coming out -

- POTUS made the announcement that “something big just happened” late last night. The op actually went down yesterday afternoon.
He was golfing at the time.
- Which would suggest as the White House photographer hinted

, that this situation room photo was staged*

If so, very disappointing, but not surprising. Remember that disaster his first week in office when a SEAL was killed? Yeah - he wasn’t in the situation room then either.

- Russia is clowning on him again.

The Russian Defense Ministry also disputed claims that Russia provided access to U.S. air units entering airspace it controls.

Again, the credit for whatever happened goes to our special ops forces, despite POTUS trying to steal the glory for himself..

* There’s an uncropped version of this photo. Those wires? They apparently pulled the table open and scattered a bunch of wires around. You can clearly see a couple of cables that aren’t attached to anything on either end - lol.

First Trump Gets Baghdadi, Now He Gets ISIS Spokesperson, Baghdadi’s Right Hand Man
All the time that Democrats have been hitting President Donald Trump for his moves in Syria, as the news today demonstrates, while he may have moved 50 troop members, he still had a lot of action happening.

Not only did the Trump administration take out the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, yesterday, in an operation that had been in the works and planning for weeks, but they also took out his righthand man and spokesperson, Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir, in a different, new operation today.

Muhajir was taken out by Hellfire missile near Jarablus in Aleppo province according to Syrian Democratic Forces commander Mazloum Abdi.

Why?
Because that's where the dirty dummycrats get all their donations and funds from. Now all we're have to do is complete the wall and the left is out of business.

Assaulting women and soliciting anything of value in exchange for election interference are both against the law. But we have President pu**ygrabber withholding approved military aid in exchange for dirt on a top political rival.

I’d like a dollar for every politician who has had a fling with a subordinate. You’re only clutching your pearls because it’s a woman.

PS Intentional distribution of non consensual porn (aka “revenge porn”) is also against the law in most states.

I'm not clutching anything. You're confusing personal life with elected public service. As a member of the House of Representatives, Katie Hill agreed to follow the rules of congress. Instead she engaged in drug fueled orgies with staff and others.

If Katie Hill was male or worse, a male republican, this scandal would dominated the news cycle for a week.

PS Intentional distribution of non consensual porn (aka “revenge porn”) is also against the law in most states.

So you're not upset the Vice Chair of Oversight and Reform was using drugs and having orgies on tax payer funds, just that she was exposed using pictures / videos she participated in.

I can't imagine the absolute hysteria and gloating you'd be doing if a member of Republican leadership had pictures of his whore mongering posted on line.

Textbook example of "you reap what you sow" or "Karma is a bitch." Dish it out and you'd better be prepared to take it.

Maybe if he'd brought his kid and grandkids to the game instead of Gaetz and Graham people would have been nicer. I wouldn't have booed him if his kids were there. Bringing that group just added fuel to the fire.

He'll be going back to his screened and curated rallies and making fewer public appearances after this..
