    Trump told Naval Academy graduates that he gave the military first raise in years and will build nearly 200 new ships very soon. Except none of that is true.

    Do not let them gaslight you. If your timeline is filling up with lies pinning the child snatching policy on President Obama rather than the Trump administration which launched it, remember what you actually know.

    "'This ... is classic Mueller: he is doing a classic, organized crime case. This is RICO 101 ... It’s exactly what Mueller has been doing his whole goddamn life. It’s just that this time the boss of the family happens to be the leader of the free world."

    This is a big lie. 1) There is no law requiring children to be separated from parents. 2) Democrats are already asking him to reverse his policy. 3) Republicans control Congress. 4) The 2008 law his administration points to as evidence for the claim was signed by G.W. Bush.

    Agreed. “Lies” is preferred term to falsehoods, inaccuracies, inconsistencies etc when it’s clearly a formula not a misspeak. Eg POTUS said he gave DOD first pay raise in a decade. That’s a lie. I’ve received a pay raise each year for last 8

    There is no White House, really. Not in the sense that journalists wove into their news stories. Now it's just Trump... and people who work in the building. The term, 'White House' is still in use, but it no longer has a referent. The metonymy broke.

  14. Kim and Moon are being thrust together by their own self-interest and if the U.S. has any role to play in it, it is not due to a strategy but due to their mutual fear of that America has become erratic, undependable and a threat to not a guarantor of regional security.
