What's the difference between blaming Trump for that and Trump taking credit for February's unemployment numbers?Originally Posted by Tellafriend
As the article said, opiate ODs were the main driver. Trump declared an "opiate health emergency" in October, and his administration had done literally nothing about it.

To be fair she does look like an opioid addict.

Barry why does this issue matter to you and what is your position? Serious question.Good news- Israel, Guatemala, Honduras, The Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Togo still have our back.
Bad news- Four of those countries will be under water soon.
Who needs allies like France when we have Togo and their $620/year per capita GDP?
Did you miss the part where trump and nikki threatened literally the entire world prior to the vote? Only then to have literally the entire world turn its back on USA? It was a pretty huge embarrassment for a world hegemony.Barry why does this issue matter to you and what is your position? Serious question.
Here I'll post it here since most of you are too ignorant to follow the real news.
I know its hard to sit through a 5 min speech but I suggest you take the time to understand what your leaders are doing...
Can't speak for Barry, but it's not really a good strategy to call all of these countries out Mafioso style when we're going to be going back to them in a matter of weeks/months asking for continued assistance on NK.Barry why does this issue matter to you and what is your position?

Its always weird to me when our president acts like a senile power tripping despot and people are like "why are you so invested in this?"

Mr. Bagadonuts,
The fact that the actual issue being voted on is unbelievably stupid is why this is such a big deal. During the campaign, Trump promised to move the embassy. It the bigger picture of his campaign, it was one of the less insane things being proposed, so nobody paid much attention. Then all of the sudden he ordered it, which of course should not have been a big surprise because it was a campaign promise. But WHY was it a campaign promise? What does the United States gain by building a new embassy for a few billion dollars? All of that construction will of course have to be done by American contractors for security reasons. I assume that it was requested by Sheldon Adelson and that crazy wing of the GOP, who align with the crazy evangelical Christian wing on all kinds of Israel stuff.
So we're going to build a new embassy in Jerusalem. Great. The UN then schedules a vote on a completely nonbinding (see: pointless) condemnation of the plan. The boss move there is to say "Have fun with your nonbinding vote, UN. We abstain. Later." and never speak of it again. The Trump move is to throw down a "either you're with us or against us, and if you're against us, we're immediately canceling all aid". That's really the only move Trump has ever used in his entire life- "You need my money so you have to do what I say".
Trump made this a huge deal right there. For no reason. Gaining nothing. Trump mentioned how much money we'll save. But the combined aid to all of those countries is a couple billion dollars. The Trump Tax Scam he's so proud of runs a deficit of $1.48 TRILLION dollars. If the Republicans do cut foreign aid, China will be right there to replace it, plus some. Those motherfuckers are good at building infrastructure, and they are happy to take natural resources in exchange.
Trump gave the entire world the opportunity to tell America to go fuck itself and everyone who remotely matters did.

I have lost count of how many times I've had to spell out to people that if Trump interrupts our ability to influence other nations, China and Russia will be first in line to snatch up those relationships for pennies on the dollar.
And every time there is this pause and then they say 'oh shit..' and their eyes get real wide.
A lot of people are learning what 'foreign policy' is for the first time and it's by analyzing the ashes blowing in the wind.

Also quick detour Senator Lindsey Graham is gay and he's being blackmailed by Trump using emails Russia hacked.

And unlike this tax bullshit, that's not something that can be reversed by the next Congress.
Lindsey Graham is gayer than Anderson Cooper.
Everything you wrote is true, but the rest of the world didn't really turn its back on the USA. The USA turned its back on the rest of the world. The USA's status as a rogue nation has become even more painfully obvious under Trump.Did you miss the part where trump and nikki threatened literally the entire world prior to the vote?

HILLARY WON
Says the guy with an aggressive wife.......Lindsey Graham is gayer than Anderson Cooper.

"ann coulter literally has more common sense than pfa."-Sonatine
"Real grinders supports poker fraud"- Ray Davis
"DRILLED HER GOOD"- HONGKONGER
trump just told china to arrest two fentanyl kingpins who are personally responsible for the lions share of overdoses here.
china's reply: 'lol simmer down nerd.'
but i hear we are great again now so i dont know, i guess its a misunderstanding.

Didnt every US senator vote to move the embassy over the summer? Or was that fake news.
i think this was originally voted on in 1995 and reaffirmed last summer by a 90-0 vote in the senate
i don’t think the move is a good idea, but i hope every senator that voted in favor of it shuts the fuck up
Hasn't every administration prior to Trump promised to move the embassy? Or just more fake news?i think this was originally voted on in 1995 and reaffirmed last summer by a 90-0 vote in the senate
i don’t think the move is a good idea, but i hope every senator that voted in favor of it shuts the fuck up
considering the bipartisan support these votes got, my guess (i admit, complete speculation) is that every administration has gone on record supporting it, but held off on actually doing it cause they thought it would harm the peace process.Hasn't every administration prior to Trump promised to move the embassy? Or just more fake news?
prior administrations probably tried to hedge between supporting israel (i.e., we recognize jerusalem as israel's capital) and not inflaming muslims by going forward with physically moving their embassy there.
