The funny thing is that it's snowflakes (who think they're unique themselves) engaging in herd like behavior.

Maybe I'm confused....
are you saying that the lowest veteran, hispanic and black unemployment rates are made up?
Are you saying the stock market highs were made up?
Are you saying the democrats didn't want a wall a few years ago? that was made up?
Are you saying walls don't work? prisons, zoos, politicians houses, etc...that's made up?
Are you saying guns don't protect people and that's why democrats have the same security details WITH GUNS as everyone else? That's made up?
I could keep going but really...... all I have to say is if you vote for a party just because they use a name like independent or democrat or republican than you're a sheep. I could care two fucks who Trump is, or who he associates with, as long as he's doing his job... He didn't bow when he met how many different leaders or give away $150billion cash to a muslim country. He didn't vote January last year to allow abortions from 6-9 months either. That mentality is sick and if a republican did it I'd say the same thing.
You guys would make a nice little stage act.
Anyway the rest of planet earth (except for parts of Russia) sees all of this for what it is. Spin this any way that makes you feel good

In a rare move, the office of special counsel Robert Mueller has gone on the record to dispute the bombshell BuzzFeed report from Thursday night, which claimed that the special counsel has evidence that President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate."
— Spokesperson Peter Carr
BuzzFeed News responded by saying: "We are continuing to report and determine what the special counsel is disputing. We remain confident in the accuracy of our report." BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith wrote on Twitter: "We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it, and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he's disputing."
Half or a quarter of the way through this interesting experiment with an incessantly splenetic presidency, much of the nation has become accustomed to daily mortifications. Or has lost its capacity for embarrassment, which is even worse.
The president’s most consequential exercise of power has been the abandonment of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, opening the way for China to fill the void of U.S. involvement. His protectionism — government telling Americans what they can consume, in what quantities and at what prices — completes his extinguishing of the limited-government pretenses of the GOP, which needs an entirely new vocabulary. Pending that, the party is resorting to crybaby conservatism: We are being victimized by “elites,” markets, Wall Street, foreigners, etc.
After 30 years of U.S. diplomatic futility regarding North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, the artist of the deal spent a few hours in Singapore with Kim Jong Un, then tweeted: “There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea.” What price will the president pay — easing sanctions? ending joint military exercises with South Korea? — in attempts to make his tweet seem less dotty?
Dislike of him should be tempered by this consideration: He is an almost inexpressibly sad specimen. It must be misery to awaken to another day of being Donald Trump. He seems to have as many friends as his pluperfect self-centeredness allows, and as he has earned in an entirely transactional life. His historical ignorance deprives him of the satisfaction of working in a house where much magnificent history has been made. His childlike ignorance — preserved by a lifetime of single-minded self-promotion — concerning governance and economics guarantees that whenever he must interact with experienced and accomplished people, he is as bewildered as a kindergartener at a seminar on string theory.
Which is why this fountain of self-refuting boasts (“I have a very good brain”) lies so much. He does so less to deceive anyone than to reassure himself. And as balm for his base, which remains oblivious to his likely contempt for them as sheep who can be effortlessly gulled by preposterous fictions. The tungsten strength of his supporters’ loyalty is as impressive as his indifference to expanding their numbers.
Either the electorate, bored with a menu of faintly variant servings of boorishness, or the 22nd Amendment will end this, our shabbiest but not our first shabby presidency. As Mark Twain and fellow novelist William Dean Howells stepped outside together one morning, a downpour began and https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-debt-deal-and-obamas-2012-problem/2011/08/02/gIQAblZepI_story.html?utm_term=.46aaed6228e5 (Howells asked), “Do you think it will stop?” Twain replied, “It always has.”
Trump has long attacked Warren for claiming Cherokee and Delaware ancestry, belittling her as “Pocahontas” and, more recently, challenging her to prove her claims using a DNA test. But his invocation of Wounded Knee—one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history—is a new low.
On December 29, 1890, the U.S. 7th Cavalry massacred hundreds of Lakota near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. It was hardly the largest settler massacre of Native peoples, but it is the most infamous. To Native peoples it has long been a symbol of U.S. brutality, a reminder of the immorality of a nation that claimed it was bringing civilization but instead brought a slaughter.
1. Today reminds me a lot of one of the most talked-about episodes during Woodward and Bernstein's historic reporting on Watergate, which is probably better remembered as a key plot point in the "All the President's Men" movie.
2. It concerned a mid-level Nixon functionary (and W + B source) named Hugh Sloan. In the fall of 1972, the duo wrote an explosive story that Sloan had testified before the Watergate grand jury and fingered high-level Nixon aides as controlling an illegal slush fund.
3. Their front-page story caused a brief stir, until Sloan's attorney came out publicly and said the story was inaccurate. Woodward and Bernstein (and their editors) were distraught. How they'd make such a mistake? Was the Watergate story overblown?
4. The reporters went back to Sloan and other sources and found that while there'd been a misunderstanding, the essence of the slush fund story was right. But Sloan hadn't testified about it to the grand jury. Why? Because no one asked.
5. Re: Cohen and Trump: What we know from Cohen's plea and related filings, and the narrow, carefully parsed statement from Mueller's office suggests the problem is with how the Buzzfeed reporters got to their conclusion, and not necessarily the essence of the piece.
6. Time will tell. There's a much bigger point to today's chaos. There's a real -- and important -- debate about the secretive and methodical pace of the Mueller investigation. The special counsel's go-slow mode is calibrated to prove the most facts, and get the most convictions
7. That's great, but while Mueller chugs along, America as we know it is falling apart. Congress, tasked with keeping the executive branch in check, has no idea what's going on after two years of GOP intentional ignorance. The media is racing to fill the void with scoops...
8... because that's what journalists do. Mueller's team had a chance to offer Buzzfeed's reporters guidance but instead fostered a day of chaos. That's not serving the public. Team Mueller are not gods. They make mistakes. Their approach should be questioned.
9. But more importantly, it's time for Congress, with a Democratic House, to start serving the public with a public, open process, moving at an urgent deliberative speed, that will determine whether Donald Trump is fit to serve out his term.
10. The obvious vehicle for that an immediate House impeachment inquiry with public hearings ASAP. What just happened today with the Buzzfeed flap makes that need even more urgent, not less so. The secret Mueller probe isn't helping us, the American people, get the government..
11. ...re-opened, or telling us whether the president of the United States is a Russian agent, a question we needed answered yesterday, not months from now. Only Congress and its impeachment vehicle can do that. So please get to work. Tomorrow if possible. -30-

In the din of horrible presidential deeds and possible smoking guns revealed just in the last week, you may have missed a Washington Post story about the resignation of Pam Patenaude.
Until last month, Patenaude was Ben Carson’s deputy at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. She resigned for what she called personal reasons, but the report cites her disagreements with the administration’s revanchist approach to Obama-era housing segregation rules. It also notes her concern about President Trump’s desire to defund the Hurricane Maria recovery effort in Puerto Rico. To be sure, the president did not merely want to cut back or to slow the flow of federal disaster funding in the U.S. territory — he wanted to cut it off altogether.
Trump reportedly told John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney that he did not want “a single dollar” going to Puerto Rico “because he thought the island was misusing the money and taking advantage of the government,” the Post report claims. He reportedly wanted the Congressional appropriations redirected at his whim to fund recoveries in Texas and Florida, which would be just as illegal as diverting them to build a border wall. Apparently, Trump “was not consolable about this.”
