Re BRD header:

Done, and added some golfing stats.

I still want to add the costs of flights to Mar-a-lago, but that'll be another day.

Trump’s Golf Costs: $102 Million And Counting, With Taxpayers Picking Up The Tab
Trump promised never to golf. Instead, he’s spent more than twice as many days golfing as Obama at the same point, costing taxpayers over three times as much.

Another way to put the golfing stats in perspective:

Trump Spent More Than Three Times the Cost of Robert Mueller’s Russia Investigation Playing Golf at His Own Resorts

It's actually lots more given that Manafort paid for most or all of the Mueller investigation.

bannination, s/he's too stupid to avoid your traps or to know that s/he's been trapped when you spring it, and too wussy to admit that s/he was trapped when you point it out.

No trap, just a few old men.....err old ladies whining about who their President is.

Defying Congress, Trump sets $8 billion-plus in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, UAE

U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring a national emergency because of tensions with Iran, swept aside objections from Congress on Friday to complete the sale of over $8 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

The Trump administration informed congressional committees that it will go ahead with 22 military sales to the Saudis, United Arab Emirates and Jordan, infuriating lawmakers by circumventing a long-standing precedent for congressional review of major weapons sales.

Members of Congress had been blocking sales of offensive military equipment to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for months, angry about the huge civilian toll from their air campaign in Yemen, as well as human rights abuses such as the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at a Saudi consulate in Turkey.

Lawmakers and congressional aides warned earlier this week that Trump, frustrated with Congress holding up weapons deals including the sale of bombs to Saudi Arabia, was considering using a loophole in arms control law to go ahead by declaring a national emergency.

“President Trump is only using this loophole because he knows Congress would disapprove ... There is no new ‘emergency’ reason to sell bombs to the Saudis to drop in Yemen, and doing so only perpetuates the humanitarian crisis there,” said Senator Chris Murphy....

Several of Trump’s fellow Republicans, as well as Democrats, said they would object to such a plan, fearing that blowing through the “holds” process would eliminate Congress’ ability to check not just Trump but future presidents from selling weapons where they liked....

BOON TO DEFENSE INDUSTRY ...

“I am disappointed, but not surprised, that the Trump Administration has failed once again to prioritize our long-term national security interests or stand up for human rights, and instead is granting favors to authoritarian countries like Saudi Arabia,” Senator Bob Menendez said in a statement....

I've been wrong before, but this feels like a run-up to war.

You'll rarely be wrong betting the US will start - or at least enthusiastically encourage- a war.

Lovin' on dictator Kim plus "Joe Bidan ...low IQ”. If we made this stuff up we'd be accused of hateful exaggeration.

Joe Bidan for presidant! Tramp is terrafied he'll win the 2020 elaction.

Breaking: "Joe Bidan" has entered the 2020 race alongside Joe Biden, and now they're both polling ahead of Donald Trump.

Now I know why the stable genius couldn’t find Obama’s birth certificate. He did an online search for “Barrack Omaha” and got suspicious when it came back with no results.

I'm guessing Joe Bidan is the dark lord of Covfefe.

Joe Bidan has entered the 2020 race, joining Joe Biden. No word if Joe Bidon, or Joe Bidun will be running. Joe Bidyn has denied reports he is considering it. Joe Bidin has said he definitely isn't running.

Who the heck is joe Bidan?? And by the way, don’t forget that Kim once called you a dotard.

It’s incredibly chilling for the President of the United States to excuse the belligerent actions of a North Korean dictator who murdered American citizens while applauding attacks on Democratic opponents like “Joe Bidan” just before playing golf in Japan on Memorial Day weekend.

Excellent summation.

Trump, Japan's Abe at odds over North Korean missile tests

POSPOTUS publicly sides with dictator Kim vs. both ally Abe and American former VP “Joe Bidan”. Shameful.

[O Really]

Remember the bashing Obama took for making some innocuous comment deemed to be "negative" about the US while "on foreign soil"? Remember when there were standards of protocol for meeting/meeting with and talking about heads of state? Remember when Bush barfing on the Japanese Prime Minister (I think) was considered one of the worst faux pas ever? Remember when Presidents (of either party) weren't considered fools, clowns, and buffoons by US allies? Good memories...starting to fade away.

Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!

"Happy"?

It's a Memorial Day tradition.

Trump's Old Pearl Harbor Tweet Resurfaces At The Most Awkward Possible Time

Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Does President Obama ever discuss the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while he's in Japan? Thousands of American lives lost. #MDW

Now, with Trump in Japan almost exactly three years later, the president’s Twitter critics are wondering if he brought the matter up to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe: ...

Just to be clear, I and I’m pretty sure that most of the tweeters don't think that either should have mentioned Pearl Harbor.

Comment:

Does Trump ever discuss the Russian sneak cyberattack on Democrats with Putin?

I will sign a document stating trump will get weirder over the next two years; maybe even blow a gasket. Hell, I bet when he loses in 2020 he will whine about how the election was rigged and how millions voted illegally and he will have to be tasered several times to make him leave the White House grounds. Ivanka will give birth to a mixed race baby with a giant head and Jared Kushner will leave her for a young Thai boy that he became infatuated with when he landed in the wrong country on one of his Middle East peace missions. Melania will reveal that she only married trump as a stunt for publicity and will team up with Stormy Daniels to produce and star in a frolicking lesbian porn movie with lush tropical background scenery. All this will occur during the first three months in 2021. Watch for it.

[O Really]

... All this will occur during the first three months in 2021. Watch for it.

More believable than what we've seen the last three years would have been if you'd predicted it in 2013.

Haven't you heard? Under Trump and this republican congress laws don't matter anymore.

If true, the appropriate laws should apply, just as they should apply to Trump.

Why? If she's guilty, arrest her.

You idiots already have spent some 200 million taxpayer dollars investigating the clintons, but there were only investigations because they hadn't done anything wrong.
