Yesterday, President Donald Trump was awarded the 2019 Bipartisan Justice Award for his leadership in the passage of the historic First Step Act!
the 2020 club who gave him the
award was founded by 20 black Republicans and 20 black Democrats to elevate criminal justice reform above partisan politics.

Bernie Sanders made $1,062,626 in 2016

His charitable donations that year?

$10,600—less than 1% of his income

He campaigns against greed and then hoards 99% of his income for himself

That's socialism:

All for me, none for thee

Can you ever see any thing wrong with anything Trump will ever do? Trump was referring to you when he said " even if he shoots someone in broad daylight light in the middle of 5th avenue, he will not lose any support.

Please read the letter slowly and tell me if he was not begging and pleading with Erdogan. I am certain in Erdogan's mind he will be thinking "what an idiot". Upon all the huffing and puffing Trump did last week about complete destruction of the Turkish economy, Erdoghan just ignored him. The Turkish lira has even strengthened since then.
Imagine, it was Putin that was threatening Turkey, Erdoghan would shake, but he knows Trump is a spoilt baby with a loaded gun, throwing tantrums up and down. He has very short attention span. Ignore him and he moves on.
Can you ever see any thing right with anything Trump will ever do? undecided

Schiff Pressured Witness to say Ukraine felt pressure from Trump

Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff reportedly pressed U.S. special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker in a secret meeting on October 3 to say that President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President and current Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

“Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld, and that they believed their relationship with the United States was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,” The Washington Examiner reported. “When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff’s characterization of events, Schiff said, ‘Ambassador, you’re making this much more complicated than it has to be.’”

The whistleblower appears to have developed cold feet and doesn't want to testify again. first his lawyers asked if he could testify in writing, and now Adam Schiff is saying they may not invite him to testify anymore. i think the recent revelations that he is a Democrat who worked for Biden and that he coordinated with Adam Schiff's staff before writing his complaint has destroyed his credibility and exposed him to serious legal danger should he accept to testify under oath.

Ukrainian MP Reports Biden Received $900K from Burisma for Lobbying Activities

A Ukrainian member of parliament held a press conference on Wednesday at Interfax-Ukraine’s press center in Kiev and made a rather startling announcement.

MP Andriy Derkach told reporters that former Vice President Joe Biden had received $900,000 for lobbying activities from Burisma Holdings

"This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," Derkach said

"Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group," he said.

"Biden's fifth visit to Kyiv on December 7-8, 2015 was devoted to making a decision on the resignation of [then Ukrainian Prosecutor General] Viktor Shokin over the case of Zlochevsky and Burisma. Loan guarantees worth $1 billion that the United States was to give to Ukraine was the point of pressure. Biden himself admitted exerting pressure in his speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in January 2018, calling Shokin 'son of a bitch who was fired'," Derkach said.

I don’t exactly know how, but these fûckers are making money from the climate change agenda. One of the ways I guess us trough government funding for “research purposes”. Do you know how much governments dole out for researching how to reverse climate change? We’re talking billions of dollars here.

Now, they keep saying we should switch from fossil energy but do you know that these fûckers who fly around in private jets contribution more CO2 to the environment on one trip than you ever would in your whole lifetime driving a car? grin. So, you are lecturing me about changing my relatively benign behavior while you are contributing magnitudes more to “damage” the climate in a week than I will in 50 years? Come on.

I can bet that Obama has had, at least, three private jet trips in the last six weeks that more than covers whatever you will individually contribute in terms of CO2 pollution from now till the day you die. This same Mr. Obama bought a house right by the sea grin, but he is telling us that the world will be underwater in 12 years. If that is true, why does he not hit a house as far from the sea as possible? grin
These people don't make any sense at all. They were supposed to hold a climate change debate on CNN and they all flew in with jets to come to the debate and they spent the entire debate complaining about carbon emissions only to hop into jets after the debate and fly back to their destinations emitting carbon all the way. It doesn't just add up.

Leave your hatred for Democrats and leftists for a second and use your brains to think of the logic.

Plastic items take centuries to degrade. Meanwhile, most plastic products are used only once by almost every single individual on earth, from straws to plastic water bottles, shopping bags, spoons, diapers, food wrappers, phones cases, and every other household items. Now, these one use plastics get dump most of the time in Rivers, which eventually ends up in the oceans. Some are dumped in landfills, but landfills quickly get filled up.

Imagine, what will happen eventually after a few decades of such everyday dumping of plastics into the oceans. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans, if something is not done to stop plastics getting into the oceans.

Now, does that sound logical or sound like CNN, leftist and democrats propaganda
Does it sound logical to you that the same people preaching this climate change gospel to me don't believe in what they are preaching and are doing the same things they say I shouldn't be doing if I don't want the world to be destroyed?

Breitbart is junk media you loonie. They are censured in Germany and Holland after reporting an Islamic terror attack that never happened.
That doesn't make them worse than the left wing liberal media since the liberal media has also been caught reporting fake news that never happened on multiple occasions. Just last week we had the news of a 12 year old black girl in Virginia that was supposedly attacked by her white school mates reported all over the media only for us to find out the attack never happened. I am sure you heard of that.

It's obvious the modern day climate alarmists are scams, they are just using it to achieve political ends. How do you explain people spending 7 hours on CNN talking about how plastic straws, burgers, beef, cars and flying in planes is causing climate change and the next day they are all seen using plastic straws at a fair, they are pictured eating burgers all over the place, they all participate in a steak fry in iowa where they ate beef with relish and they still drive and fly all over the country in carbon emitting vehicles. No explanation for that except that even they themselves don't believe in the hoax they are selling to the public.

Read the caption properly. More accurately, read the CAPTIONS properly. The first one is describing the photo above while the second one describes a photo on the opposite page which is not shown in this picture.
Thank God you saw what I noticed also. It's now clear that Nigerians are really not intelligent. The op, the mod that brought this to fp and most of the people commenting couldn't understand what was written in plain English. The person being beaten was just described as "an arrestee" while sowore's name was mentioned in reference to another picture that is on the opposite page of that of the person being beaten.

Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by garetz: 9:22am On Sep 26, 2019
There are a lot of lies flying around in the public space over the Trump Ukraine transcripts, my advice to everybody is to read it for yourself and see what's in it. I decided not to comment on it until I have gone through the entire transcript myself. I did that yesterday and my conclusion is that the Democrats are going to have a hell of a job on their hands convincing Americans that Trump committed any crime worthy of impeachment in those calls because he didn't commit any. At best, they can argue that there was an appearance of impropriety in him getting involved in something that could affect a potential rival's presidential bid but that is neither here nor there. The two planks upon which the media were building their pro impeachment narratives yesterday are that Trump was asking a foreign government to interfere in the US elections and that Trump was asking for dirt on his political opponent using threat of withholding military aid. I have read the transcripts over and over again and I am wondering how they intend to prove that because there's no clear evidence of any of that happening in the calls. Did the president threaten to withold aid if he wasn't given dirt on his political opponent, I can't find it in the transcript. did he ask the Ukrainian president to interfere in the 2020 elections, I can't find it either. The dems better be careful what they are rushing into, if this transcript is all the evidence they are Hoping to base their argument of impeachment on, Americans are going to turn on them when they start reading the transcripts for themselves. Again I advice everyone here to go and read the full transcript for themselves and not get their info through biased sources on both sides.

SportsRe: Cristiano Ronaldo Is Searching For The Women Who Gave Him Burgers As A Poor Kid by garetz: 10:30am On Sep 19, 2019
He is just feeling guilt because he abandoned his dad and did nothing for him till he died. He was shown a video few days ago where his father was talking about him and he cried like a baby. All of a sudden he wants to locate those who gave him burgers when he was a kid, is it now that he is remembering them since all these years? Or did he just start making Money yesterday that he couldn't remember to give back to those who were kind to him when he was wallowing in Poverty? He had time to be spending millions on girls and partying with sports cars all over the place and couldn't even spare a thought for His own father and those who cared for him as a poor child. Guilty conscience over his father's death is what is making him do this. I lost all respect for this guy after watching that video, such a small minded and myopic fellow

PDPGuy:
Is Sen. Kamala Harris’s campaign effectively over?
She has been cratering in the polls since the second debate, and has had only one or two double-digit polling numbers since then.

However, it may be premature to write off her campaign at this time. In September 2007, Obama was nearly 20-points adrift of Clinton in Iowa polls, but he ended up winning the Iowa primary 4 months later.
Likewise, Harris’s campaign could bounce back.
She is done, she doesn't have half the charisma or oratory ability of Barack Obama plus she isn't running the kind of grassroots campaign that Obama ran. The fact that she is cratering even in her home state is a signal that she really has no chance. The best she can wish for now is that she is picked as VP candidate by whoever wins the ticket

dermmy:
Lol. And you think Trump would tell the whole world he disagreed with Bolton over Iran and NK. He wouldn't want the world to see that US is losing the fight against Iran and NK in its pressure campaign against the two countries but we are not fooled they actually disagreed over Iran and North Korea.

The pressure campaign against Iran is even pushing Iran towards getting nukes and the talks and meeting with NK has not yeilded any fruitful result, Kim has said he wants a mutual concession and i think Trump has seen the truth. The Iranians are stubborn and keep demanding US lift sanction, Kim wants concessions from US too. You can see that the Iran and NK issue looks similar Iran wants sanctions to be lifted while NK also wants some sanctions to be lifted too.

US has proved to be an untrusted power over the decades, look at what they did to Ghaddaffi they made him gave up Libya's nuclear ambition and promised him they won't embark on regime change which they later did.

From what i have seen so far Trump wants to negotiate but Bolton had been hindering that. Infact Mike Pompeo should tread carefully else what befell Bolton would befall him.
All these things you are saying is just assumptions and conjecture. Until there is any evidence that it had anything to do with Iran, that's what it will remain. The facts available from everybody involved in the matter is that it had nothing to do with Iran
