    No, it's only okay to mock Gays, women, Blacks and Hispanics if they move away from the left.

    A depiction that mocks gays and is far from the truth with regards to Trump and Putin.

    Stop defending the NY Slime.

    Trump has a weird amount of affinity toward Putin, and for some reason is afraid to confront the man. This strong desire has been demonstrated time and time again since Trump first praised Putin, and Trump was too much of a coward to confront Putin in Helsinki. So yes, its not too far from the truth. Facts hurt.

    So Trump seems to, if not intimidated, find it distasteful to criticize the Russian dictator, unlike other actual leaders he has trashed on, like May and Merkel. While not gay,, Trump seems to be more protective of Putin so it seems safe to say he's Putin's Puppet, thus the cartoon isn't too far off.

    We are now finding out that Trump apparently knew about the hacks Russians made during the 2016 cycle. Did this stunt happen in 2012, 2008, 2004 or 2000 as long as technological capabilities have existed? No. This time is different. The bottom line is we can’t have Russians do this sh’t again, or we need to promise severe consequences fif they pull this off again.

    Everyone knows democrats are allowed to be homophobic.....

    You need to do what they say, not do what they do.

    At least Trump was pitching, in the picture, so you know deep deep down deep inside, they love themselves some Trump

    Ya know, I didnt believe my mom when she told me, "Nothing makes democrats masturbate faster than Trump"

    Obviously, mom was right again.

    Is WaPo part of Trump's base? ;-)

    "An escalating trade war.
    A president spouting rhetoric in the summit from Hel … sinki that one former CIA director called “nothing short of treasonous.”
    A dysfunctional Republican congressional majority that will do nothing to stop any of the above.
    And a GDP growth rate that is predicted to have clocked in at 4.5 percent for the most recent quarter (we’ll get the reported number next Friday)."

    WASHINGTON POST, Amid massive Trump-induced chaos, GDP growth keeps on truckin’. What’s up with that?, By Jared Bernstein, July 18, 2018 at 6:00 AM.

    The US Intelligence has plenty of proof, and there's no doubt to believe they don't. It's why those 12 Russians were indicted.

    This is the same Intel community that said Iraq had WMD's and we know how that turned out.

    And there is no proof, just assessments.

    Obama was in charge during the 2016 cycle. Are you holding Trump responsible for Obama's inaction?

    Why do you suppose the Assistant AG revealed those indictments to the public? That's never done. Instead those indictments where foreigners are concerned are sealed until they reenter the country and then they are arrested and held for trial.

    This was for show and nothing more.

    Remember at the time, if Obama had done anything, Trump was running with the BS narrative that the election is rigged, and will be given to Clinton. Given Trump's words have caused his credibility to vanish, it probably would have been a good move for Obama to intervene on the Russian hacking.

    What Trump said is proving to be correct and the testimony we heard in Congress is verifying that.

    Meanwhile Obama said this. Do you still trust Obama?https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...ump_stop_whining_about_a_rigged_election.html

    NYT is very much a "status quo" propaganda outlet for AIPAC and the deep state. No surprise here. Does this mean they are worried?

    Did you bother to read the whole article before posting it?

    “A strong GDP quarter comes nowhere close to offsetting the cost of deteriorating democracy.
    ...
    Turning back to the big picture, perhaps the most important insight from this dichotomy of political chaos amid strong growth is to recognize the limits of GDP. Though it does a good job of measuring a narrow concept, we elevate it to a much greater level of significance than it deserves (I would argue it’s much more important in developing economies). GDP not only fails to reflect environmental degradation but also scores such actions as growth-positive.

    GDP says nothing about the distribution of growth. I’ve been hammering on the weak real-wage-growth story, but we just learned that the real annual earnings of full-time, middle-wage workers fell by half a percent in the second quarter, and this was their third quarter in a row of losing ground. Meanwhile, as noted above, profits are crushing it.

    And, of course, GDP says nothing about the loss of representative democracy.


    So yes, the economy is posting good numbers. And Hitler made the trains run on time.

    That's just empty unsupported partisan blabber. Most people prefer facts.

    The awful truth is in the headline. ;-)
