Russia pays well... The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

Anchor Cuts Away From TrumpMSNBC Anchor Cuts Away From Trump’s News Conference: “We Hate To Do This, But The President Isn’t Telling The Truth”This should happen every time he lies.The current occupant of the White House has a long history of lying. The media might call his lies “misspeaking” or “falsehoods,” but they are straight-up lies. The media needs to call him out more and stop normalizing Donald Trump’s attempts to gaslight the public. Also, listening to his blatant lies is exhausting and infuriating.
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace showed us how it’s done when she cut the “president” off on Deadline in the middle of his news conference in which he repeatedly lied in order to defend himself against his latest scandal. Wallace wasn’t having any of it as she said, “We hate to do this, but the president isn’t telling the truth … what Trump appears to be trying to do is to turn his own impeachment into a big deflection.”
The media has covered for Trump long enough, even correcting his typos as if they never happened, but the “president” was shifting the blame of his own actions once again on his rival Joe Biden’s son.
Like Wallace, her co-anchor rightfully noted that Biden’s son was cleared of any wrongdoing by Ukraine’s top prosecutor. It’s an easy thing to Google. Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said Hunter Biden and Joe Biden didn’t act improperly, the latter of whom called for the dismissal of Ukraine’s former prosecutor-general. The prosecutor that Trump seems to be defending was known to be corrupt. Biden pushed for him to be ousted over his corruption and nothing more.The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

The Republican controlled congress under Obama's terms became known as the party of no. It made no difference what was presented by a Democrat, the answer was no because Moscow Mitch blocked everything. Under his current reign, the Democratic House has submitted more than FOUR HUNDRED bills and motions in the Senate, but Moscow Mitch refuses to allow any to come to the floor. The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

You can choose to support the United States Constitution or you don't, there is no middle ground, no shade of gray!

Good Morning. Today is the third workday of the week! I thank God for the fresh air of President Donald Trump!!!!! He is made every effort to wipe away the obama debacle. THE clinton debacle, !! He is made every effort to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He has fulfilled the most of his campaign promises. He has withstood the storm of dem attacks and roadblocks. He has made America independent of foreign gas and oil he has taken the different departments of this government the EPA, IRS, THE FBI, THE MILITARY AND HAS STARTED DRAINING THE SWAMP MSM DARE NOT CCC THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT…….SO THERE ARE NO STUPID HILARIAS PICTURES THAT I KNOW OFF……. BUT THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT DOES HAVE A LEGACY: Here are Obama’s political scandals: The ATF-led “Operation Fast & Furious” The 2012 Benghazi attack The Clinton Foundation’s pay-for-play scheme Uranium One The Department of Justice’s tracking of journalists, including Fox News’ James Rosen The Veteran’s Affairs scandal The Hillary Clinton private email scandal The IRS targeting of conservative groups The Solyndra scandal NSA spying on Americans and the PRISM program, exposed by whistleblowers Obama’s nuclear Iran deal Obama’s intervention in Syria and subsequent failure to act on his “red line” declaration Anything else? Obama and other top members from his administration have made similar claims since President Donald Trump assumed office last January, despite the overwhelming amount of facts that disprove their outright dishonesty. Even Obama’s messaging has not been consistent. He admitted earlier this year that his administration “didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us.” At that private event, Obama never disputed his administration had scandals. Many wonder today why the Republican party does nothing to defeat the treasonous
schemes of the Democrats. It is because the pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly
infiltrated the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. Many wonder why
the news media lie so much to support and protect the Democrats. It is because the
pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly infiltrated the news media. The news media and
schools and colleges, with their lies and propaganda, have so conditioned the
people of the country that they are unable to recognize what has been done to them.
Victory for the Jesuits seems very near. The Jesuits are like a cancer that has
pervaded nearly every fiber of the society of the United States. We are being
defeated by the enemy within.
For many years the Jesuits have prevented the United States from developing
additional sources of energy within its own territory. Exploiting the vast oilfields on
the Alaskan north slope, that probably contain more oil than the entire middle east,
is forbidden. New nuclear power plants, the safest source of electric energy ever
discovered, are not permitted. There is no end to the lies people have been made to
believe about Nuclear energy. The environment is used as the club to subdue the
people of the country into going along with this idiocy. Modern technology is able to
develop these sources of power without any damage to the environment. France
gets 80% of its power from nuclear power plants without any problems. Needless to
say, without sufficient energy, the United States will not be able to defend itself. All
the papacy has to do is cut off the oil supply from the middle east.
The United States is now starting to feel the pinch of the energy shortage the Jesuits
have created. People have experienced blackouts over large areas as power is shut
off to stay within the limits of generating capacity. Today, instead of constructing
additional nuclear power plants, some of these plants are being dismantled! Will the
people of the United States be able to wake up in time to prevent the coming
national tragedy?
Not only in the United States is this treachery being perpetrated by the papacy, but
they are secretly at work all over the world to subvert all the nations of the world.
"And all the world wondered after the beast." Rev 13:3 last part.

The whole world is laughing...It was a key talking point during President Trump’s 2016 campaign, and even before it: The idea that other countries were laughing at the United States. “The world is laughing at us,” he said in May 2016. “They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity,” he said of Mexico in his campaign launch speech. He used the phrase “laughing at us” more than 50 times between 2011 and his election as president. Trump, the argument went, was going to make it stop.
Instead, Trump has been the object of repeated jest and even mockery by fellow world leaders. And it’s been caught on tape — again.
Even more world leaders appeared to join in mocking Trump last year during his speech at the United Nations. Trump made one of his characteristically hyperbolic claims about his achievements as president — “In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country” — and drew audible laughter.
Trump, apparently taken aback, responded, “Didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s okay.”
(He later tried to argue that the world leaders were laughing with him rather than at him, but his real-time reaction didn’t exactly back that up. In addition, world leaders said anonymously that they were indeed having a laugh at Trump’s expense.)The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

Russian Gave Over $1M to McConnellRussian Oligarch Gave Over $1M To McConnell-Linked Campaign Fund Before MidtermsCraig Bouchard, the CEO of Braidy Industries, hoped last summer to build an aluminum mill in Ashland Kentucky. Unfortunately, the major investor that Bouchard needed was Rusal, a large Russian aluminum company owned by billionaire Oleg Deripaska. Rusal was under U.S. sanctions and Deripaska was under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller. The U.S. sanctions on Rusal meant it was illegal for U.S. citizens to work with either the company or the person running the company.In the end, Rusal and Bouchard did not have to break any laws, as Rusal freed itself from the sanctions. In order to do so, Rusal lobbied Washington, specifically targeting the Senate majority leader, Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell. Before the midterm elections, major Rusal shareholder Len Blavatnik donated over $1 million to a campaign fund tied to McConnell. I don't really know why Moscow Mitch is upset with his name, he has consistently proven to aid Putin. Even knowing our intelligence agencies were all declaring Russian interference before the election, Moscow Mitch promised to make this into a political issue. He has been a Russian agent for years now!The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

If you were handed a subpoena, but you just didn't feel like responding, what do you think would happen? The precedence for this has been set. The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.
