The US President is said to have had an “invoice” printed out outlining the sum estimated by his aides as covering Germany’s unpaid contributions for defence.

What comes out of the White House seems to be a crossover between Jersey Shore and Westwing.

A person's choice of language is pretty handy if you're looking to minimize the time you spend engaging idiots, especially lately.

That invoice story would be amazing, but would like to see it corroborated by others (and no, I don't mean Slate or The Hill). I don't have access to the source paper either. It almost sounds too ridiculous for DJT.

Hope you caught his eye and gave him a "dames, huh" expression.

That's a good cheeto face picture. Look at the line running down in front of his ear. What a vain buffoon. What a primping shallow nincompoop.

If Dan legit just didn't like either side it'd be another matter. Look at Shame_Trolley. No one thinks he's a Trumpkin. Dan can't stand to see Trump criticized.

Shocking.

My favorite part is how the reporter interviewed people. Does he go to a town hall? Nope. Talk to business owners? Of course not. He knows exactly where to to find the dregs of society. Just go to a random rural white town and interview people at Wal-Mart and McDonald's. Because nothing says you hate the establishment more than shopping at a Wal-Mart.

Getting back to Trump, odds that we're going to default on our debt because he doesn't manage to get some sort of budget/debt ceiling agreement? Think he'll pull the "mint a trillion dollar coin" trick if someone pitches it to him?

Thanks for the clarification. This line from the article confused me:

"If Republicans had repealed the Affordable Care Act's $1 trillion worth of taxes before they revised taxes, that's $1 trillion less they'd have to come up with to make it look like money wasn't being lost."

Seems more accurate to say:

"If Republicans had repealed the Affordable Care Act's $1 trillion worth of government spending before they revised taxes, that's $1 trillion less they'd have to come up with to make it look like money wasn't being lost."

Or maybe I'm still unclear on the concept.

You really wanna destroy a guys career for being an idiot? That is obviously a vile thing to say but I'd still just leave it alone.

A lot of decent people say and believe really stupid ****.

From WSJ, not bad:

Ryan didn't even want the job. Can't imagine who else would?

At this point, is it a possibility 1 of the HFC guys would take it?

The giant tax cut that was Trumpcare wasn't as obviously a tax cut and would have been basically hidden during the cuts of "tax reform."

Hey guys, I've said that Putin is a bad guy, so now we can move on to the important topic of why SNL doesn't have any Hispanic cast members (even though that isn't true).
