@izzythepush,
I am aware, also Hailey (spell?) just more or less pushed Trump's line, however, every now and then, she did end up saying something different. Got called out for it too.

I am not too worried about how the world views Trump, I am more worried about having dependable worthy allies.

@revelette1,
That cuts both ways, and having Trump rubbish NATO and Western leaders while sucking up to Putin and Mohammed bin Salman isn't exactly going to inspire loyalty.

@ehBeth,
Not necessarily. When you are dealing with problems which involve more than one country, often, you can overlook someone if she/he has an obnoxious personality and/or other character issues if they come down common ground. Lately with Trump, he seems to support aggressors, makes needless trouble with trade which then he tries to fix back up so he can get credit for it, and does not even pretend to look at Palestinians as people with rights the same as anyone else. Where is the commonality in any of that plus some I probably can't think among our long time allies? There is not. I am not sure if the next president can build it back up.

masturbating baboon for UN ambassador.

For all the good the UN does I would say masturbating baboon is too good for them. But would fit in nicely.

All explained in the article. Snopes carries water for the Left, they always have. They have no interest in the truth.

Covfefe, one year later: How a late-night Trump tweet turned into a phenomenon

President Trump may have just coined the greatest word of all time, but we don’t know how to say it or what it means.
The meaning is clear. It's a misspelling of coverage.

President Trump is not mistreating the Palestinians in any way.

I've caught Snopes spouting outright lies in order to whitewash violations of the Second Amendment before.

I have caught them lying about Muhammad. And would be glad to source that claim if anyone is interested. Maybe one day people will not care who they think is winning and objectively look at the facts.

Yes, it was:
Quote:
Snopes co-founder David Mikkelson defended the inaccurate fact check in an email to TheDCNF.

“The overall point offered by the meme in question is that some 33 Republican members of Congress who voted to repeal the ACA lost their seats. And as our fact check documents, that point is correct,” Mikkelson wrote.

“The meme isn’t really about the specific persons who appear in the accompanying photograph, as they weren’t identified by name and are largely unrecognizable to viewers as shown due to the small size of the photograph and the fact that their heads are obscured with red X’s,” Mikkelson insisted.

“Our audience is intelligent enough to understand the difference between a literal representation and a symbolic one,” he added, denying that the fact check was misleading.

Like all those grainy pictures of disheveled blondes who'd apparently drunk themselves into a stupor and were used to accompany stories about Dr. Blasey Ford's party life in high school. Get a grip. Photos are used this way all the time.

He is still smart enough to tell the UN to shove their Migration Pact. What is Justin's problem?

The UN Migration Compact, which seeks to criminalise all criticism of mass migration and completely change the definition of a refugee, will be signed by many world leaders next week without ever consulting their citizens.

Yeah, thanks for providing the details on those new alliances.

Trudeau defends UN Compact on Migration by attacking The Rebel

Dress up boy is mad, in more ways than 1.
Quote:
I went through ten troubling passages in it, like the one that says governments have to facilitate migrants to bring their entire families along with them, regardless of their skill level. That’s pretty incredible — even Canadian citizens don’t have that right.

Or this one, where governments have to set up specialized, migrant-focused health care, culturally appropriate, they say, at the national and local level.

I showed how this document goes far beyond just immigration policy, to propaganda — it calls for pro-immigration content to be put into school curriculums.

Will Trudeau put a pretty little bow on Canada before he signs it away?
