RE: The 'Great' Negotiator. lol

Well, I guess it was stupid to assume a republican would actually question their "god" lol.

The fact the military has received an annual pay rise seems to be ignored by those who refuse to question anything.
I would have a lot more respect for Republicans who actually questioned their leader, and stopped condoning his lies, when trump loses more and more support from the Rep party, maybe he will start being more honest? Unlikely though, as many will still make excuses for him.

RE: The 'Great' Negotiator. lol

Facts



If Trump had not been overruled, the pay rise would have been less.
Those are the facts

RE: The 'Great' Negotiator. lol

From today's USA Today, a fairly balanced newspaper not know for fabricating stories, unlike certain other media souces.
"WASHINGTON – In his first visit to U.S. troops in a conflict zone, President Donald Trump drew cheers when he told troops he won them their first raise in 10 years and suggested it was a whopping one. Neither is true.

TRUMP: “You just got one of the biggest pay raises you ever received. Unless you don’t want it. Does anybody here? Is anybody here willing to give up the big pay raise you just got? I don’t see too many hands. Ah, OK. don’t give it up. It’s great. You know what? Nobody deserves it more. You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years. More than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one.” – remarks prompting cheers Wednesday at al-Asad Air Base in Iraq.

THE FACTS: He’s wrong about there being no pay increase for service members in more than 10 years and about their raise being especially large.
U.S. military members have gotten a pay raise every year for decades. As well, several in the last 10 years have been larger than service members are getting now – 2.4 percent this year and 2.6 percent in 2019. Raises in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for example, were all 3.4 percent or more."

And the gullible still believe his lies

RE: Don't let China build your dams.

"Technischer Uberwachungs-Verein (TUV SUD) will carry out a new inspection of the 1,500-MW Coca Codo Sinclair Hydroelectric Power Plant and will determine the solutions to the fissures in the distributors.

TUV SUD is a German company specialized in testing, inspection, auditing, certification and engineering training.

The costs of the inspections and repairs of the fissures will be assumed in full by the contractor, so they will not have any cost for the Ecuadorian State, according to a press release from the Electric Corporation of Ecuador. Sinohydro signed the contract with TUV SUD in early November.

The special examination, which was requested by Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Nonrenewable (MERNNR) Carlos Perez to the General Comptroller of the State, is part of the policy implemented by the national government to make information transparent, to protect economic resources of the state and fight corruption.

Since the beginning of the current government, the MERNNR and the Electric Corporation of Ecuador (CELEC EP), through its Coca Codo Sinclair Business Unit, initiated a series of actions to determine the state of the largest hydroelectric power plant in the country. In that context previously, in August, the company Consulting Inspection Services (CIS) inspected the hydroelectric plant and issued a first report on the issue of fissures in the distributors.

Likewise, the national government demanded the delivery of a 10-year guarantee for the proper functioning of the distributors, which will become effective once they have been repaired to satisfaction TUV SUD.

The Coca Codo Sinclair Hydroelectric Power Plant, on the Coca River between the Napo and Sucumbio provinces, was fully operational in November 2016. CELEC says it is operating normally and is generating the energy required by the National Electricity Operator CENACE to meet the country's electricity demand.

So while there are some problems, they are not beyond repair, the above OP is like suggesting "Don't let America build your Aircraft" . because Boeing cannot connect batteries correctly.
So the OP is more distorted "news".

RE: NBC Reports Trump Is First President Since 2002 Not To Visit Troops At Christmastime. Wrong.

The quoted article, also states he visited Iraq, so it was not fake news.
Trump only visited because he was shamed into doing so, did he visit last year? Don't think so, and he needs to get some good press, lately the press has not been kind to the President. Mainly due to his constant lies and destruction of the United States.

RE: Trump Can Build the Wall Without Congress, Here’s How…

So exactly the same as the Republican party did to Obama, if it was good enough for them why not for the Dems?
And Trump isn't keeping to his promises, the USA taxpayer will pay for his "wall" not Mexico, he lied

RE: Perfect gifts – edited from week-to-go to Got one! last comments

We called them punkah-walla in Nairobi too, my guess a leftover from colonial India. I have to be honest, I really really miss mince pies, usually order them via the internet but left it too late this year, Given instructions
to all my children to buy M&S pies and keep for me for when I am back in the UK lol.

RE: HERE ARE THE MOST EGREGIOUS FAKE NEWS STORIES OF 2018

So many lies by the idiot, it would be impossible to post them all.

RE: Trump Can Build the Wall Without Congress, Here’s How…

Why would building a wall make any difference, the numbers quoted are for the illegal immigrants ALREADY in the US, building a wall won't suddenly make them disappear lol.
The easiest way for trump to get the wall built is to stand by his promise, make Mexico pay. Or is this another of his lies the masses will "overlook"

RE: The Very Clean Teapot

I live in a province famous for tea, Anhui, and possibly the most famous region in that province, Huangshan. Huang ? means yellow and shan ? means mountain? So yellow mountain. The most famous tea is Maofeng which I have grown to enjoy. They also grow/produce a black tea (red) which is my favourite. Qimen tea is a dark red and has an almost English breakfast tea flavour.

If anyone is interested this is an excellent article on local teas grown in Anhui.

RE: Disabled Veteran creates Go Fund Me account to help build the Southern border wall !!

Trump will most likely use the money to build himself a deep bunker to protect himself from the NK missiles that look like coming any time soon.
He got played, like the moron that he is, he has put the entire world in danger yet again.
"North Korea has said it will never give up its nuclear weapons unless the United States does the same.

A statement released though the official Korean Central News Agency accused Washington of being misleading over the agreement between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un in Singapore."

RE: "It's time for Trump's attorneys to negotiate a plea bargain" - Richard Painter, GWB ethics attorney

President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said on Wednesday he was "wrong" to say Trump had not signed a letter of intent for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

"I was wrong if I said it," Giuliani told CNN's Dana Bash. "I haven't seen the quote, but I probably meant to say there was never a deal, much less a signed one."

RE: "It's time for Trump's attorneys to negotiate a plea bargain" - Richard Painter, GWB ethics attorney

Trump cannot resign he has to take the chance of being reelected, otherwise he will face a prison sentence. A plea bargain is his only real option IMO.

RE: J&J Knew for decades that asbestos lurked in baby powder, but kept it a secret from the public

worse is that the board of directors won't get punished, just a fine, that the company can well afford to pay, maybe China has the right idea? They executed the company owners who knew their baby milk powder was tainted.
I hope the general public will boycott all J&J products.

RE: The Final Word

RE: The Final Word

Good to see you agree the last 2 years have been wasted.

RE: The Final Word

Running scared old man? Even you can see Trump is heading for defeat now so many of his own party are turning their collective backs on him, enough is enough. < GATORADE Trump said it helps him stay young

RE: Build the wall.

RE: One wonders, what could change his mind so drasticly. lol

Satire is really wasted on those with few brain cells

RE: Mr. Trump.

sorry must be because I'm stuck in bed coughing my guts up, back to the usual soon hopefully < Medicine, tastes like wine, looks like wine, smells like wine, but really it is medicine

RE: Mr. Trump.

I'll play.................................. H.Clinton

A very tough and clever woman, not someone who is easily frightened. Very experienced politician. Not a pathological liar, extremely good at negotiations, If she has done a 10th of all she has been accused of doing, then she must be the worlds greatest criminal mastermind I don't believe she comes close to that .
"Do you think she's a nice person? A good person? An honest person?" Nice? She comes across as okay, certainly not egotistical like some politicians, Good? Not really. Honest? About as honest as any politician. She has lied in the past as have most Politicians.
Would I vote for her? NO

RE: Get a Burger King Whopper for 1 cent....for real.

I rarely cook, prefer eating to producing, so I eat out almost every day, I learnt a long time ago that here in China, it is best to NEVER look in the kitchen area, just order and sit with your back to the prep area. Hygiene and restaurants are not used in the same sentence in China lol, On the plus side, a person builds up a strong immunity to most things that would seriously affect a western person.
Sadly it didn't prevent a flu bug develope into pneumonia, which I now have. Fingers crossed that the medicine I am taking is real and not fake

RE: Russia's violation of INF

I get tired of reading posts from an old man who thinks he knows everything and always attacks the poster never the post, guess you can always find a different forum

RE: Russia's violation of INF

When trump does something good, I promise I will acknowledge that and praise him

PS You lied again Phylis, as I started a thread praising trump for meeting with Kim. You even commented if I remember correctly. Those lies always catch up with you.

PPS Just because I disagree that trump has done little for the average American does not make me a liar, it is an opinion.
Your lack of understanding English obviously has let you down again.

RE: Russia's violation of INF

Like most posts here, accusations of people lying, yet never a single word to back that opinion.
As for Clinton and Obama, they are past history, not worth discussing, especially with people who have closed minds and still think Obama is not an American and is a Muslim

RE: I right my green headed girl in starboard...

Easy war to remember Port and starboard and which is left/right red/green

Port is red wine so has a red light, port has four letters as does Left.
