    Another lie....just because NK presented an invoice, doesn't mean we paid it. Geez....you all live in some fantasy world

    Notice that I did not say that we paid. I said that he promised to pay it.

    Trump has an extensive history of not paying American cities for providing security for his rallies, so I am not sure why KJU expected Trump to keep his promise to pay for Warmbier's torture.

    All that reveals is that you know nothing about journalism. Anonymous sources are the rule, not the exception.

    There was no promise...it was an invoice.

    You are right about one thing....NK realized they weren't dealing with sort of Admin that would pay millions to a terrorist regime..like say Iran.

    The same sort of Admin that would leave their party in debt, and open to corruption....https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/2/brazile-says-obama-left-dnc-deep-debt-clinton-camp/

    Instead, we have an Admin that will raise the federal budget deficit by the single largest year to year amount in US history while simultaneously launching multiple trade wars against multiple allies.

    Ah let me know when the deficit is as big as Obama and the Dems got it in 2009.

    And you are right we do have an admin that willing to confront our allies and other trading partners to ensure the USA doesn’t get taken advantage of

    Its funny how "Liberals are snowflakes!" turns into "Liberals are dangerous and violent!" and back again so quickly depending on the context. Perhaps, just perhaps you guys are the real snowflakes.

    Quite a bit less then all those years obama and the dems were ranking up trillion dollar plus deficits.

    If you are really concerned about spending get on board with trump and the gop’s plans to cut the largest drivers of debt...Medicare and Medicaid

    I am on board with cutting spending on the single largest source of spending for a socialist program from the discretionary budget, aren't you?

    Military expenditure at a time when we are not at war and a lack of sufficient revenue at a time when the economy is growing ARE the largest drivers of national debt.

    No Medicare and Medicaid are.

    Revenue is up...we got plenty of it...the problem is the massive drivers of mandatory spending that keep driving cost up

    When speaking of a mob of 100 antifa radicals attacking a couple old men and women, they are dangerous and unbelievably cowardly. As a brave coherent fighting force willing to engage armed hostiles, forget about it.... just forget about it.

    Pro-tip: you and two dozen of your buddies beating the hell out of a lone political opponent make you an immoral mob not GI Joes.

    Trump just promised last night to protect Medicare and Medicaid (he obviously needs the old folks to keep voting for him), so I am not sure what you meant when you said Trump wanted to limit that expenditure.

    And revenue is not up as soon as you take into account inflation. It is also down even further as soon as you analyze how much revenue should have gone up in the absence of the GOP tax cuts that sent 83% of the benefit to the top 1% and decreased corporate tax revenue by ~32%.

    Of course he wants to protect it...reform is necessary for that...because the way it's currently running it's going to fall apart. https://www.modernhealthcare.com/ar...ned-about-medicare-s-long-term-sustainability

    "The agency estimates that the ratio of workers paying taxes to beneficiaries eligible for Medicare will drop from 3:1 in 2016 to 2:1 by 2091. In addition, healthcare costs continue to rise faster than the taxable wages used to support the program. The shortfall is expected to equal $3.3 trillion over the next 75 years"

    ".The CMS would need to significantly increase its revenue or reduce Medicare benefits to balance its budget, HHS said."

    https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statis...eports/ReportsTrustFunds/Downloads/TR2017.pdf

    The Dems however refuse reform, and thereby support it falling apart

    I don't think you know if revenue would be up without the tax cuts to all Americans....without them then maybe businesses would not have been hiring as many people. We have a much larger base of people working and paying taxes...largely due o the tax cuts. Revenue is certainly up.

    It is based on your “test” for treason so I’m sure he’ll be charged at the same time as the NYT. Never.
