Trump solves CA wildfires problem! Trump knows how to do it; you have to rake the leaves. If you do that then fires will no longer be a problem. Climate change is not involved. He learned that from the President of Finland.
Next, he will ask Joseph Kabila about how to avoid frostbite.
 
‘Nothing on this page is real’: How lies become truth in online America

NORTH WATERBORO, Maine — The only light in the house came from the glow of three computer monitors, and Christopher Blair, 46, sat down at a keyboard and started to type. His wife had left for work and his children were on their way to school, but waiting online was his other community, an unreality where nothing was exactly as it seemed. He logged onto his website and began to invent his first news story of the day.

“BREAKING,” he wrote, pecking out each letter with his index fingers as he considered the possibilities. Maybe he would announce that Hillary Clinton had died during a secret overseas mission to smuggle more refugees into America. Maybe he would award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his courage in denying climate change.

A new message popped onto Blair’s screen from a friend who helped with his website. “What viral insanity should we spread this morning?” the friend asked.

President Trump, who last week said he was too busy to visit Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day, lashed out Sunday against Navy SEALs and the admiral who led them for taking too long to find Osama Bin Laden.

“Frankly, wouldn’t it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that? Wouldn’t it have been nice? You know, living — think of this — living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion. I don’t know, I’ve seen nicer,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

“But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there, and we give Pakistan $1.3 billion a year, and they don’t tell him?”

The stupid thing is that most service people and jingoists will continue to vote for him.

Unless things have changed people in the military are reminded every payday that Democrats want to cut their pay and benefits, so you can't really expect anything else from them.
 
And Republicans aren't actually doing that?

Beats me. I just know that the anti-Democrat rhetoric is an absolute constant drone and is never likely to change. Most people entering the military have no firm political opinions, so they absorb what there is and pass it on.

So service people are sheeple. Got it.

People are sheeple. Military people are just sheeple put into a relatively closed environment that contains a massive pre-existing bias. Expecting any different outcome would be like expecting a teen aged actor who grows up on a TV show set to become a staunch Republican.

But that makes Bonespurs smart ? (unlike the losers that become POW, KIA or didnt kill Osama quick enough)
Also exercising leads to early death so we thank you for your service.

There is a sizable and loud contingent of American veterans whose political opinions range from liberal to leftist. It's gotten larger over the course of the Forever War as the memory of the Clinton-era armed forces recedes into the distant past.

Veterans are more diversified in our views than active duty military I'm afraid...and "sizable and loud" is probably still outnumbered among veterans.
 
170

-- number of false claims made by President Trump in the second week of October, surpassing his previous one-week record of 133, per "Daniel Dale's Trump Checks" in the Toronto Star

We really should have a term for this sort of thing. "Client socialism"?"Bolshe-cronyism"?
