She is a perfect fit. Donald Trump is known for lying at the drop of a dime, so why shouldn’t his spokesperson do the same? Lying is probably the only qualification needed to be Trump’s spokesperson.
During a discussion with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Donald Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson was asked if her boss had any plans to apologize to the Khan family for suggesting that Ghazala Khan, Humayun’s grieving mother, was not “allowed” to speak at last week’s Democratic National Convention because she is Muslim.
What exactly is Mr. Trump supposed to be apologizing for?” Pierson asked. “It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagements that probably cost his life.”
NOTE: Social Media lambasted Pierson for her comment. She later took back her claim that Obama was responsible for Captain Khan’s death.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called the 800-page immigration reform bill proposed by a bipartisan group of senators a "fair, comprehensive and practical solution" to a difficult problem.
John McCain, one of the architect of the failed Iraq war that forced America more than a trillion dollars deeper in debt and caused the lives of thousands of American troops, today blamed Obama for the most recent mass shooting in Orlando. According to McCain’s twisted thinking, ISIS would not be around today if Obama had allowed the Iraq war, the longest war in America’s history, to continue indefinitely.
While answering a question from a reporter about the usual gun-control debate that sprouts up after every mass shooting, McCain inexplicably found a way to blame Obama for Orlando!
“Barack Obama is directly responsible for it,” McCain said. “Because when he pulled everybody out of Iraq, al-Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today thanks to Barack Obama’s failures.”
When pressed by a reporter on the claim that Obama was “directly” responsible, McCain reiterated his point — that Obama should not have withdrawn combat troops from Iraq: “He pulled everybody out of Iraq, and I predicted at the time that ISIS would go unchecked, and there would be attacks on the United States of America,” he said. “It’s a matter of record, so he is directly responsible.”
Noticed the masterful way McCain avoided any acknowledgement to the actual war in Iraq, a war he co-sponsored and a war that had absolutely nothing to do with the September 11th attacks on America. You would think if anyone is to be blamed for ISIS or by extension, the Orlando shooting, it would be the people who decided to invade Iraq and remove its leader, actions that threw Iraq into chaos and created the vacuum ISIS and other terrorist groups have thrived on. But McCain apparently bears no responsibility, according to him it’s all Obama’s fault.
One should note that Obama voted against the war in Iraq. If McCain and others had followed Obama’s lead, there would have been no Iraq war, no vacuum for ISIS to fill and by extension, no reason for a crazed maniac to open fire in Orlando killing 49 people while pledging his allegiance to ISIS.
Sarah Palin has never been accused of being honest, so her adamant denial that she never blamed Obama for her son’s PTSD came as no surprise.
In an interview on Today on Monday, Palin, who recently endorsed Donald Trump, was asked about a statement she made that her son Track, who served in the military, came back home suffering with PTSD, thanks to Obama. Her statement received universal denunciation from veteran groups across this nation and made the headlines for days, but now, Palin is playing dumb… or maybe she’s not playing at all…
In the interview with Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie, Palin was asked about her statement.
“You talked about it, and then you mentioned PTSD,” Guthrie said, “and you said that President Obama may be to blame for some of the PTSD that’s out there.”
Palin fired back that she was “promised” questions about politics and Iowa before agreeing to the interview. “As things go in the world of media, you don’t always keep your promises, evidently,” she said, before diving headfirst into her answer albeit, a lying answer, that she did not blame Obama for Track’s ‘PTSD.’
Matt Lauer continued the line of questioning and asked whether she regretted the comment. Palin replied, “What did I say that was offensive? I don’t regret any comment that I made because I didn’t lay PTSD at the foot of the president.” She replied. “If you have a specific quote, it allows the media to be credible if you guys would tell me exactly what you’re talking about.”
Rush Limbaugh wants all the Republican candidates for 2016 to stop admitting that the invasion of Iraq was a failure. Instead, the mouthpiece of the Republican party wants the other members of his party to blame Obama and Democrats for the war and everything else that went wrong with the Bush-led invasion.
His advice to Republicans is to say that Democrats “attempt[ed] to divide this country by sabotaging the war effort” and “these things we’re living with today… are the result of the Barack Obama presidency.”
In other words, the mouthpiece of the Republican party want Republicans to lie about the war and its outcome. And the so-called “Christian Conservatives” will gladly accept Limbaugh’s talking point.
John McCain and Lindsay Graham need to get a room already. They’re once again criticizing the Obama administration for violence erupting in Iraq between the Iraqi government and its opposition.
In a joint statement denouncing the violence that erupted last week, when Iraq’s Shiite-led government sent military forces into Sunni-dominated Anbar province to end anti-government protests, McCain and Lindsay cast blame squarely on the back of the Obama administration.
The ensuing violence that sparked continued the long fighting tradition of Shiite against Sunni, but these Republican congressmen say it’s Obama’s fault.
“While many Iraqis are responsible for this strategic disaster, the administration cannot escape its share of the blame. When President Obama withdrew all U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011, over the objections of our military leaders and commanders on the ground, many of us predicted that the vacuum would be filled by America’s enemies and would emerge as a threat to U.S. national security interests. Sadly, that reality is now clearer than ever.
“The Administration must recognize the failure of its policies in the Middle East and change course. America has lost time, options, influence, and credibility over the past five years, and we cannot afford to remain disengaged any longer.”
In a briefing on Friday, the State Department addressed the Iraqi violence and denounced any suggestion that the administration was at fsult.
“Let’s be clear who’s responsible for the violence. It’s the terrorists who were behind it,” said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf. “That’s why we are partnering with the Iraqi government very closely to fight this shared threat. At the end of the day, we can certainly help them fight it, but we also want to help them build their own capability to do so themselves.”
Besides a private room, what do McCain and Lindsay want?
They of course voted for the Bush led invasion of Iraq in the first place, an invasion based on a lie. And they were both against Obama’s effort to end the conflict a decade later.
But what would make these two happy, would be a continued American military presence in Iraq indefinitely, irregardless of the financial costs or the American lives that would be lost.
Well guys, that’s not going to happen. The decade long war is over. American troops are home with their families and we are not spending another trillion dollars to continue the unnecessary war you both approved.
Go get a room and work out your issues in private. Leave the administration, the American military and the American tax payers out of your fantasies.
You have to be a Republican to buy what these people are selling. Or you have to hate the President so much that you’re willing to dismiss the facts to believe the lies. And yes, there many Republicans willing to believe the lies. Although the facts have been smacking them in the face for the last 16 days.
Various right-wing media outlets are picking up the claim that President Barack Obama deliberately lured Republicans into a trap planned by his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.
The claim originates with author Ed Klein, who wrote a provocative and widely criticized biography of Obama called The Amateur, in addition to The Truth About Hillary, a similarly received book on the Clintons.
“(Jarrett) convinced the president that a government shutdown and default offered a great opportunity to demonize the Republicans and help the Democrats win back a majority in the House of Representatives in 2014,” Klein told The New York Post.
Klein said Jarrett told the president that voters would blame Republicans for the shutdown and “devised the no-negotiating strategy” that ultimately forced the GOP to end the 16-day shutdown with Obamacare still intact and to extend the federal government’s borrowing power to avert debt default.
“Valerie also came with the idea of using the words ‘hostage’, and ‘ransom’ and ‘terrorists’ against the Republicans,” Klein said.
Those tactics, along with Republican antics before and after the shutdown began Oct. 1, drove the GOP’s favorability ratings to record lows for any political party.
After eating the meal, a customer handed this note to the server. The note was later posted on Reddit. A Reddit user called Blind_Name captures the sentiment of the average person reading this note, by commenting with:
The interesting thing about the tax increase is that they increase on the money that you make beyond 250k. So you make 251k a year, you pay more taxes on the 1k. So the people leaving these around are still rich assholes.
