Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

But you take Trump’s word for it when he says “some generals told me”.

Brilliant.

Defense Secretary Esper says Beirut blast probably an accident, breaking with Trump

USA Today

An accident was the likely cause of the explosion in Beirut, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Wednesday, contradicting a statement made by President Donald Trump on Tuesday that the blast that killed at least 135 people, wounded 5,000 and leveled a large portion of the city was an apparent attack.

“Most believe it was an accident, as reported,” Esper said at the Aspen Security Conference in Colorado.

At a White House briefing hours after the explosion, Trump said he was briefed by “generals,” and “they seem to think it was an attack.” The Pentagon referred questions about that briefing to the National Security Council. The NSC did not offer a response on Esper's comments.

Wednesday evening, Trump attempted to take back his assertion that an attack caused the explosion.

In 24 hours, Trump went from “some of our great generals told me it was an attack”, to “I don’t think anyone can say what it was”.

And tools just fall right in line behind whatever he says.

Yeah, this is the first time they provided a name - and it couldn't get any higher. I ignore idiots btw! Stay well....

Hillary will have the last laugh as "crooked Trump" goes to jail.

I’m starting to remember why I had you on ignore for several months...
The memory is vague but ...Something about random, unfunny, distracting crap you can’t resist posting.

Because they are generals. Shouldn't CNN say what their sources do? They could be janitors.

BTW generals general. That means they are important enough to listen to. Janitors, not so much.

If he had said some whomever told him, you would’ve believed it. He says generals told him and you believe him because he said generals. If he said some navy seals, some senators, some ambassadors...you would’ve believed him.

Because Trump said it is good enough for you. That’s crazy stupid.

Let me guess, who is responsible for a Russian freighter full of ammonium nitrate?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Freshman Kansas Rep. Steve Watkins lost his Republican primary Tuesday after being charged with felony election fraud and other crimes.

Comment:
Yes, this Rep is the pride of the right wing religious charter schools and the ethics bred into them through the conservative party's moral majority! (cynical)

Easy fix

No worse than believing CNN that lied for over three years and will say anything to hurt Trump whether it is true or not.

Oh come on. That was hardly offensive. At the worst it was a little silly.

If he'd directed that at me, I'd have replied "I wish."

One out of how many? Any idea?

SO WHAT ABOUT THE HUNDRED PLUS QUARANTINED next door in a mississippi school district?

What about them? Do all of them have it? Nope. Overreaction is now mandatory.

A thousand people dying everyday for weeks. And you’re talking about overreacting.

The reason for the mess is the federal government underreacting at the outset, and continuing to underreact now.
