Trump Disgraces America Every Day

The White House wanted the U.S. Navy to move “out of sight” a warship named for the late Sen. John McCain, a war hero who became a frequent target of President Trump’s ire, ahead of the president’s visit to Japan last week, according to an email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal...

The USS John McCain collided with a merchant vessel in August 2017, killing 10 sailors and tearing a hole in the left rear side of the destroyer. Mr. Trump, asked about the collision at the time, told reporters: “That’s too bad.”

What a petty mofo.

Fact-checking Trump's flurry of lies Thursday morning

Very interesting that the real media is finally beginning to call Donny's lies by their real name, instead of some euphemism. A very positive trend, I do hope it catches on elsewhere.

With a statistical trick, Donny hopes to define poverty away
Safety net for millions would be cut if administration lowers poverty thresholds

Donald Trump is not shy about hiding his disdain for the poor—especially those who are not white.

He infamously referred to developing nations as “shithole” countries and Mexican immigrants and asylum seekers are rapists. His budget cuts go after the nation’s most vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly.

That’s apparently not enough. Now the Trump administration is trying to literally define the poor out existence by artificially lowering a poverty threshold already seen as insufficiently stringent to capture the true ranks of America’s poor.

To do so, the White House Office of Management and Budget is relying on a sneaky, seemingly minor statistical tweak that will have major implications for who will be defined as poor—and thus what government benefits they will be able to claim.

The idea is to select a different inflation measure for annual cost-of-living adjustments than the consumer price index that is currently used, such as the “chained” CPI or the personal consumption expenditures index or PCE.

It sounds innocent enough, but in reality this will mean billions of dollars in cuts to key federal health programs that serve as a lifeline to the country’s neediest populations.

Slimeballs.

“What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty," Trump on Meghan Markle in an interview with The Sun. It’s on tape.

I never called Meghan Markle “nasty.” Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold! Will @CNN, @nytimes and others apologize? Doubt it!

Trump urges customers to drop AT&T to punish CNN over its coverage of him

OK, this has got to be illegal. Corporate-loving Repubes, where’s the outrage?

The courts have been unwilling to react to Trumps Twitter-bait in the past. Gets a pass for 'political hyperbole.'

British Activists Troll Trump By Projecting USS John McCain Hat On Wax Museum

Ah, you lovely, clever Brits! Thank you!

The owners of a luxury hotel in Panama City that ousted the Trump Organization as property managers last year accused it on Monday of evading taxes in Panama and creating a “false light” around the hotel’s finances.

The accusations, made in a legal filing in Manhattan federal court, are fraught with potential diplomatic and legal complexities for President Trump. They essentially assert that his family business cheated a foreign government, a claim the Trump Organization characterized in a statement as “completely false.”

The president’s company, the filing alleges, “also made fraudulent and false claims to the Panamanian tax authorities” to “cover up its unlawful activities.” This was originally detected during an audit last year by that country’s tax agency, according to the filing.

President @realDonaldTrump, you’re clearly confused. The Senate passed the bill two weeks ago. Hopefully after blocking it for so long, you’re not too confused to sign it! pic.twitter.com/8nDyfuMuWi
