    jayjayj reacted to jg121783 in 1 big thing ... Exclusive! Bannon: I'm sorry   
    http://thehill.com/homenews/media/367635-who-is-fire-and-fury-author-michael-wolff
     
    A quote from the article:
     
    "Members of the media have questioned some of Wolff’s facts and tactics, highlighting what they say are errors in the book, including a contention that Trump did not know former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), even though they had golfed together.  
     
     
     
    Some journalists have also questioned whether some of Wolff’s sources thought they were speaking off the record, noting past controversies.
    “I wonder how many [White House] staff told Wolff things off the record that he then used on the record,” Bloomberg View columnist Joe Nocera tweeted Thursday. “He's never much cared about burning sources. Can't imagine that many of those quotes were meant for publication.”
     
     
    After the publication in 1998 of “Burn Rate: How I Survived the Gold Rush Years on the Internet,” a book about his time at his startup company during the internet bubble of the 1990s, Brill's Content noted that 13 people had groused that Wolff had “invented or changed quotes.”
     
     
    “It would be easier to believe Wolff if there weren't so many other apparent factual errors in Burn Rate,” a Brill's review scolded."
     
    Took me about a minute to find on google.

    I don't really think someone who has achieved more than almost any American in History could be as slow as many think.
     
    I think it is more likely , that he enjoys driving low information,  emtionaly gulible members of the MDL into frothing at the mouth non sense filled tantrums.  I can just see him smoking a big cigar , going " hey y'all watch this"🤣

    It may be a little over the top but this is probably in response to underqualified quacks getting up on tv and trying to diagnose Trump as having some sort of mental disorder without meeting with him personally which is a violation of the Goldwater rule and could open them to lawsuits.

    Bingo. He has them latching onto every tweet and plays them like a fiddle. He knows exactly how they are going to react. Tomorrow he will tweet something else and send them off the rails in another direction.  Its beautiful!!

    Trump's salary..
    On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name, status,salary and position title of all 377 White House employees.
    The report said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his salary, instead he donated it to an amazing cause! (see below).
    The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving money than Obama was.
    The total annual White House salaries under trump are $35.8 million vs. $40.9 under Obama, a savings of $5.1 million.
    Here are some other key findings:
    * There are 110 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
    * Nineteen fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS).
    Currently, there are five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009).
    * However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking.
    Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $78,000 to the National Park service, plus another $182,000 in donations. 
    Second quarter, he donated $100,000 to the Department of Education.
     
    Oh, and where's the media coverage of this? Oh that's right, they don't cover anything good that the President does.

    So is the whole twitter name calling issue the biggest item?   Personally, I could not care less, Trump bites back which quite honestly is refreshing coming from someone in the GOP.  So often the GOP are just door mats to the DNC and their media allies.  If people truly ignored Trump the man and actually look at his policies and plans, many would see they actually agree with much of it.

    There is no pretence that illegal immigration is being targeted - it is being targeted.  Your assertion that a pretence exists is false.
     
    Trump is the President.  Bannon and Trump are not conjoined twins.  When you say "restrictions", what you are really talking about is new policy, but you use the word "restrictions" to dramatize it.  Trump does want to eliminate the visa lottery system as a matter of policy and there are valid reasons to do so.  
     
    The term "drain the swamp" has nothing to do with immigration.
     
    Steve Bannon is not a "white nationalist" and does not create policy or draft U.S. laws.  Why are regressives so fixated on Steve Bannon?

    It is amazing what can happen when a President empowers someone like James Mattis to fight a war in order to win it.  Obama didn't do that and many needless civilian deaths occured because of his ineptitude in all things military related.

    Referencing two separate time frames is not necessarily considered a topic change.  In this case, the follow-up sentence clearly relates to the paragraph's topic sentence.  It is accepted academic practice that loosely related sentences can be combined to form a paragraph, otherwise you could end up with an article full of one line paragraphs.

    You already have an established relationship with the children, by being married to their biological mother.  For immigration purposes, you don't need to prove that you have a close or loving relationship with them.  You simply need to prove they are your wife's biological children - that alone qualifies them to immigrate.
     
    Don't be worried and Happy New Year!

    The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Enough said.
    Also, I'm pretty good at geography and history. I don't recall any State called Palestine. Palestine was a British mandate. Israel declared independence in 1948. Whoever stayed in (Arabs included) became Israeli citizens. Other people left thinking the State would be destroyed. They were wrong, too bad.
