Spicer is such a hack.

I would feel soulless if I was in his shoes.

He just says the opposite of what the media says.

FACTUAL NEWS

Anyone else think Putin might just be starting to regret installing an unpredictable maniac as the head of government for the only country on earth that can obliterate his country in a nuclear firestorm?

Well done steak with ketchup. This ****ing guy is evil.

have you seen his apartment? trump has taste for ****e

He's the ****head customer from the end of Waiting, he just tips better.

If that's the case, though, wouldn't it make sense for them to quietly leak everything they got (be it evidence of contact with him pre-election, embarrassing video if it exists, etc.) to hasten his ejection? They still get to "destabilize" our gov't as a result, so everybody wins I guess.

Supposedly Trump's budget is coming out tomorrow with a 33% increase to the defense budget and "catastrophic" cuts to the EPA, OSHA, etc..

And the latter group in total will probably be a tenth of the defense budget increase, but he'll play it up as only increasing one department/program while cutting 12 others or whatever (which I'll then see 87 people sharing/crowing about on FB). What an asshat.

EPA and OSHA budget together are only about one twentieth of 33% of the defense budget.

I suspect that will happen eventually.

Yes, putin is going to pull his trump supporting trolls the minute he stops being useful.

The waiter could get harassed by pro-Trumpers or anti-Trumpers depending on how the story was perceived by the readers.

You gotta dump something on a well done steak to make it edible. Might as well be ketchup.

I laughed wayyy too hard at this. Such gold. What a sham.

ok I'm super naive here and I'm really very curious about something. I read itt that we agreed with Russia (or some other country or countries) to dismantle our nuclear arsenal down to 1,500+ nukes. Why do we or any other country with the same pile need more? Compensation for small hands? Seriously though, isn't there already enough to destroy civilization on earth multiple times?

There's literally no good reason.

its a symbolic thing for insecure republicans with tiny hands to feel strong

And a direct financial interest in defense contractors

Enough to destroy civilization? Yes definitely. Enough to exterminate the human race? Maybe not.

I'll bite. It's because of those Y2K bunker purchases. Correct?

There is no good reason. Some money would obviously be needed for keeping things in working condition or at least from deteriorating to the point there were more leaks, but any kind of significant expansion is just pork barrel.

There have been a lot of conflicting studies over the years about what the effects of a full scale nuclear war between superpowers would look like. While civilization almost certainly collapses due to the huge die offs, inevitable starvation and outbreaks of just every disease imaginable, and breakdowns in every social structure we depend on for modern life, there is not a consensus on whether the earth becomes so irradiated that literally every human dies, life is pretty resilient. Most people likely don't die directly because of the nukes either, they die because of the secondary effects of the collapse of civilization.

Edit: Also we survived a devastating ice age 195,000 years ago, so if Nuclear Winter is a thing, we'd almost certainly survive that as well.

We had an agreement with Russia to mutually reduce our nuclear arsenals

Putin asks Trump on the phone about continuing that plan and Trump says Obama made a bad deal and wants to renegotiate

Now he comes out saying we need to be first in nukes even tho we already are

Cold War 2 incoming

That's comforting
