The salute?

Some people are making a big deal out of the fact that the President returned a salute to a North Korean General. Many claimed that this was exactly the sort of behavior that conservatives complained about when Obama bowed to a King. The difference of course is that the President did not offer the salute, he returned it. As a matter of protocol, the person who offers the salute (in this case the North Korean General) is acknowledging that the person he is saluting is a superior officer. Protocol suggest that the superior officer (in this case, President Trump) returns the salute. (Watch the video to see the chain of events).



This is not the same thing as bowing to a King, which does actual show a deference to the person you are bowing to. Had (as many have pointed out) the King in that case had first bowed, and then Obama had bowed, that it would have been fair to compare it to "salute-gate". And most certainly... if Trump had offered the salute, rather than had returned it, then it would have been the same thing as the Obama bow.

But as it is in reality? Just an example of TDS at it's finest!

They'd rather go to war with NK than give Trump ANY credit whatsoever...

..."by any means necessary" - that includes a nuclear war.

Trump's Unhinged Interview on the White House Lawn.
Donald Trump's admiration of Kim Jong-un shows the president love of the North Korean leader following their meeting in Singapore, calling him a "smart," "funny guy" with a "great personality," among other fawning praise. His admiration of the dictator continued on Friday during a wild, impromptu interview with Fox & Friends on the White House lawn, when the president expressed in no uncertain terms how envious he is of Kim’s regime. "He speaks and his people sit up at attention," Trump said. "I want my people to do the same."

S.Scott will stand erect every time he sees his President aka the President who believes that he could suspend the 2020 election to keep the Traitorous Democratic Party

This is not TPM or The FBI Report .

One of the four FBI case agents working on the Hillary Clinton email investigation—who was also one of the two FBI agents who interviewed her at the conclusion of that investigation—triumphantly referred to Clinton as “the President” four days after that interview—and four months before the election.

Later, on election day, in an instant message exchange with another FBI agent who had also worked on the Clinton investigation, this FBI agent declared: “screw you trump.”

The other agent said in the same instant-message exchange: “You should know…that I’m…with her.”

This answers my question of why Hillary was Not Marandized, no tape recording and had a group of advisors with her. A shame interview.

Hillary lost because of Comey.
Ok.
Not because of her failing health, lack of message and shrill tone that turn many woman to vote against her.


We now know James ole boy.
"“I want to start by thanking the FBI employees who did remarkable work in this case,” Comey said. “Once you have a better sense of how much we have done, you will understand why I am so grateful and proud of their efforts.”

(CNSNews.com) - One of the four FBI case agents working on the Hillary Clinton email investigation—who was also one of the two FBI agents who interviewed her at the conclusion of that investigation—triumphantly referred to Clinton as “the President” four days after that interview—and four months before the election.

The report released yesterday by the inspector general for the Department of Justice referred to these two FBI agents not by their names but as “Agent 1” and “Agent 5.”

The report said of these FBI agents that “we identified two instant message exchanges that appeared to combine a discussion of politics with the Midyear investigation.” (The FBI referred to the Clinton email investigation as “Midyear Exam,” “Midyear,” or “MYE.”)

On July 2, the FBI interviewed Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email server as secretary of state and the presence of classified information on emails that she sent through this server.


But, according to the IG report, the FBI had already decided not to prosecute Clinton prior to this interview--unless she confessed or lied.

“By the time of Clinton’s interview on July 2, we found that the Midyear agents and prosecutors, along with Comey, had decided that absent a confession or false statements by Clinton, the investigation would be closed without charges,” says the IG report.

Three days later, FBI Director James Comey unilaterally announced that the FBI would not be recommending that charges be brought against Clinton—despite “evidence of potential violations of statutes.”

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/06/15/williams-berkeley-declares-climate-emergency-worse-than-world-war-ii/
This week, the Berkeley City Council issued a resolution declaring a worldwide climate emergency, calling it “the greatest crisis in history” after evoking memories of World War II.

“The United States of America has disproportionately contributed to the climate and ecological crises and to preventing a transition away from fossil fuels, and Americans thus bear an extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises,” the text reads.

Apparently the six million Jews massacred during the Second World War, not to mention the other tens of millions of casualties, do not measure up to the overarching evils of climate change—at least in the minds of the Berkeley City Council.

Droughts, famines, and diseases produced by global warming “have already killed millions of people in the Global South,” the document announces, adding that the earth is “already too hot for safety and justice.”

“The global economy’s overshoot of ecological limits and, increasingly climate change, are driving a global fresh water scarcity crisis and the sixth mass extinction of species, which could devastate much of life on earth for the next ten million years,” the resolution warns.

Roger - you should either stand behind what you write or not write it in the first place.

Also, you shouldn't be throwing stones in your glass house, but somehow accusing me of parroting the President, when quite literally nothing he stated was even close to what I wrote (long before he stated it).
