Curious to how "extremely vetted" Mike Flynn was.

Just goes to show we can't even vet Americans.... Which means we definitely can't vet immigrants from counties that want to harm us.

Remember when Obama nominated Tom Daschle? Solid vetting there too. It was only $16 million Obama missed there, whoops!

Failed nomination of Tom Daschle (2009)

Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle was President Obama's first nominee for the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Daschle was paid $220,000 in speaking fees to Healthcare providers, and was paid $16 million as an advisor to Healthcare lobbying groups in the time between his departure from the US Senate and his nomination.^[148] Daschle pulled his name from nomination on February 3, 2009.^[149]

You must really hate Tom Price's post then.

Richard Painter, President George W. Bush's former ethics lawyer, said late Friday he has major concerns over the Trump administration's ties to Russia.

In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon, Painter spoke about reports that former national security advisor Flynn was working for foreign agents while also working for the American government.

“It makes no sense to run a government this way,” Painter said. "This is a completely chaotic situation, and then Gen. Flynn lied about his contacts with the Russians, lied to the vice president, and we’ve had the attorney general in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee say he did not contact the Russians when he had contacts with the Russians."

its funny how whenever someone says something Trump and/or his supporters don't like, its fake news.
On the other hand, if they get caught in a lie, its alternative facts.

Looks like Republicans are starting to win some ground back in the war on words!!! Democrats have been winning that war for a couple decades now. Trump fights like a democratic which is why he's torching them now.

"Fake News", at least to my mind, is when the media attempts to BLOW UP an insignificant occurrence into a major news story (e.g. Trump ducks reporter questions again) This was the SECOND "Top Story" on CNN just now... Really? A president who doesn't answer misleading questions shouted from across a crowded room?!?! Shocker!

"Alternative facts" are facts that don't fit into the media's "Fake News". For example, if CNN says "Trump ducks reporter questions again", and someone else says "CNN reporter shouts stupid ******* question along with 20 others as President enters room, gets ignored"... that's an alternative fact. Both statements, in context, are factual, but one is what the media is trying to portray, and one isn't.

Except there's no alternative to a fact. Well, other than a lie.

"Trump ducks question," is an opinion. "Trump did not answer a specific question," is a fact.

"Trump's inaugural crowd was much smaller than Obama's," is a fact.

"The size of Trump's inaugural crowd was record setting," isn't an alternative fact. It's a lie.

War on words.... Libs think they own facts. The problem is they treat speculation as fact and now no one trusts them because Trump is calling them out. The alternative facts move was awesome. It highlights the FACT that libs have been making up facts. For instance, I can spin any statistic to prove a point.... That doesn't make it fact.... Unless I'm a liberal. Thank God I'm not though cause I like winning!!! And that's a fact!!!

Trump and his gaggle of idiots seem to have their own facts, which differ from, well, actual fact.

Boo hoo. Imagine that. An establishment Republican that dislikes Trump

Don Lemon and the establishment Republicans have been wrong at every turn regarding Trump for the last two years. There's no reason to believe they'd be right now.

Did Trump just begin his war for oil yesterday? That's the question everyone in the media should be asking. According to Crooks & Liars editor Karoli Kuns and The Associated Press, Trump just sent hundreds of Marines to help Russia and Assad take over Raqqa, Syria. Hundreds more were sent to Kuwait presumably to assist in taking Mosul, Iraq back from the Islamic State.

Trump and Bannon are a pair of broken records when it comes to fighting the IS. Both have repeatedly stated they intend to wipe the IS fighters off the face of the earth. This is a policy that would receive bipartisan support depending on the strategies used. Who wouldn't want to see the end of these terrorists? But most draw the line with the boots on the ground strategy Trump just deployed. Americans are not so keen on seeing more soldiers in flag draped coffins after 16 years of fighting in the Arab region.

But Trump and Bannon could care less what anyone thinks. They are determined to continue the war and escalate it. Much like Trump's promises to conduct mass deportation raids, implement a Muslim ban and repeal the ACA, we should take him at his word in regards to the Arab region.

Not only has he promised to bomb these countries beyond recognition, he promised to take their oil. Since George W. Bush's Iraq war, Trump has given dozens of interviews where he stated that he would "take the oil." He even stated such during the campaign. There are at least 47 tweets from Trump since 2011 where he claims that the U.S. should have taken a country's oil or been paid in oil. Syria and Iraq are his top targets with Libya and Iran following close behind.

The media is currently spending most of their air time discussing Trumpcare as they should, but they are missing the boat on this. Americans should be prepared that Trump and Bannon are going to send their loved ones back to the Arab region not just to fight the Islamic State, but to steal oil.

Because with fracking here at home and the largest oil boom in us history we need to steal oil. That makes sense.

You can not be serious? This is what we have become as a nation? Stealing natural resources is American?
