Actually, that's all made up. This dude
 

Such a confusing guy
On one hand you have the guy who spearheaded investigation after investigation into Benghazi. Not even that long ago he was calling for a second special counsel.
But on the other hand ever since he saw those FISA documents he seemed to change his approach. Nunes doesn't read any the classified documents he requests for whatever reason, Gowdy does.

Trump: Jay-Z used 'filthy' language at Clinton concert
President Trump slammed rapper Jay-Z at a rally in Nashville on Tuesday night for using "filthy language" at a pro-Hillary Clinton campaign concert in 2016.

"The only way she [Hillary Clinton] filled up the arena was to get Jay-Z," Trump said, as the audience booed. "And his language was so filthy it made me look like the most clean-cut human being on Earth."
"He'd stand up there before those crowds, and by the way, without any musical instruments, I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing," he continued.



"But he'd stand up before those crowds, and he'd use the f-word, and Hillary would sit back and say 'I'm in trouble. Please don't have him use that kind of language anymore.' And then he'd finish and everyone would leave, and she'd be standing up making a speech to 400 people."
Trump was referring to a concert for Clinton in 2016 in which Jay-Z usedprofanity multiple times.

"You're tuned into the motherf----- greatest," a voice said as the rapper appeared on stage.

"If you feelin' like a pimp n----, go and brush your shoulders off," the rapper said. "Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off. N----- is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you. Get that dirt off your shoulders."

The rapper and the president have publicly sparred in the past.

Jay-Z condemned Trump's reported comments referring to African nations as "****hole countries" earlier this year, saying the remarks were "disappointing" and "hurtful."

Trump fired back, citing the African-American unemployment rate in the U.S.

"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" Trump tweeted.
 
I posted this on March 31:

so Roseanne believes in made-up stories and conspiracies. who wouldn't thought that this ugly inbred overweight piece of **** is uneducated and idiotic too?



edit: one of my greatest joys in childhood was when her show ended and I didn't have to live in fear anymore that I would accidentally see her disgusting face when I was flipping through the channels.

seeing her return to TV is destroying me and making vulnerable everything I have built and believed in over the past two decades in the post-Roseanne era. we need to bring back the only defense we had against her growing up: the fresh Prince of Bel air.


I am so ******* happy. Trump can serve a full two terms, I don't care. Roseanne is off the air. I can now safely surf the channels again without risk of seeing her disgusting face.

Trump bragged about classified Syria skirmish at fundraiser
The White House has tried to avoid discussing a February skirmish between U.S. troops and Russian mercenaries in Syria, but that didn’t stop President Donald Trump from bragging about the Pentagon’s performance at a recent closed-door fundraiser.

The details of the battle remain classified but speaking to donors in midtown Manhattan last Wednesday, Trump said that he was amazed by the performance of American F-18 pilots. He suggested that the strikes may have been as brief as “10 minutes” and taken out between 100 and 300 Russians, according to a person briefed on the president’s remarks, which have not previously been reported.


Trump often makes unscripted comments at fundraisers, and revels in the exploits of the U.S. military. At an RNC fundraiser last fall, he told the crowd that Defense Secretary James Mattis, had “never lost a battle” and he has bragged about the country’s nuclear superiority in confrontations with North Korea.

American officials have long feared a clash with Russian forces in Syria would add tension to the already strained relationship between the two countries and intentionally avoided Russian targets last month when they bombed the country in response to Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons. According to the New York Times, which last week provided the first detailed description of the battle, the confrontation lasted four hours and left between 200 and 300 pro-Assad forces dead.

White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah declined to comment on Trump’s remarks because the Syria strikes remain classified.

The fundraiser at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel was attended by about 100 of Trump’s top-dollar supporters, who paid a minimum of $50,000 a head to attend the dinner. Though protesters lined the streets outside, Trump was greeted warmly by supporters inside, including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

Along with the Syria strike, the president talked about his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, earning a standing ovation from the crowd. He said he sympathizes with past presidents who broke their promises to move the embassy because of the aggressive lobbying he got from “kings and queens” urging him against the move, and that it took a leader of strength and conviction to follow through.

The U.S. marked the official opening of its embassy in Jerusalem earlier this month, an event attended by several top White House officials, including presidential daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump and her husband, Trump adviser Jared Kushner. Hamas, which governs the West Bank, responded to the embassy opening with protests that resulted in dozens of casualties when Israeli troops responded forcefully to their provocations.

The president returned to the theme at a rally in Nashville on Tuesday evening, saying

”Two weeks out, when people sort of started to think that we were going to open up the embassy, I was called by every leader in the world” telling him, “Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it,” the president said.

The Manhattan fundraiser raised about $5 million for the Trump Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee that funnels cash both to the president’s campaign operation and the Republican National Committee.

Trump Asked Sessions to Retain Control of Russia Inquiry After His Recusal
Before the recusal, the president and his attorney general were friends, often sharing meals and talking on the phone. Today, they rarely speak outside of cabinet meetings, current and former White House officials and others briefed on their relationship said. They even flew separately in March from Washington to the same event in New Hampshire. Mr. Trump complains to friends about how much he would like to get rid of Mr. Sessions but has demurred under pressure from Senate Republicans who have indicated they would not confirm a new attorney general.
