Kimmel really used "make America great again" in a sentence and got applause

So unexpected.

Imagine the levels of success the united states would have if they actually became an ally with Russia.

The United States currently spends around 619 billion dollars a year on their military, this number may not seem that big when you look big picture, but the reason we're spending this much is in case Russia decides to do anything, only other threat besides Russia for the united states is China (which they have so much money invested into the united states that it would be an extremely ignorant move on their part to attempt anything.)

If you take the entire worth of Donald Trump and times it by 60, you won't even reach the amount the united states spends on their military. Take a look at what that number would really look like.

Say what ever the f--k you want about Trumps decisions towards being friendly with Russia, it's honestly the most logical output. Imagine removing 30 of those 10,000,000 blocks every single year, and investing that money into businesses.

George W. Bush chose not to criticize Obama for 8 years... Slams Trump.

The former president, who remained mostly silent during the 2016 presidential election, sat down for a wide-ranging interview on NBC's 'Today' show on Monday morning.
Click to expand...

Former president George W. Bush made a relatively rare public appearance on Monday's Today show, speaking out against Donald Trump's attacks on the media and immigration policy, and supporting a closer look at the president's ties to Russia.

But throughout the wide-ranging interview on the NBC morning show, Bush didn't mention Trump by name.

Bush, who has largely remained out of the spotlight since leaving office, has been devoting his time to his painting hobby and is releasing a book of his paintings of wounded veterans.

Sitting down for a live interview with co-host Matt Lauer, Bush took issue with Trump's characterization of the "fake news media" as "the enemy of the American people."

"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We need an independent media to hold people like me to account," Bush said. "Power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive. And it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere. One of the things that I spent a lot of time doing was trying to convince people, like Vladimir Putin for example, to accept the notion of an independent press. It's kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we're not willing to have one ourselves."

Bush also weighed in on Trump's travel ban, saying simply that he is "for an immigration policy that's welcoming and upholds the law." And the former president, who after 9/11 took pains to distinguish between the attackers and Muslims, reiterated that difference.

"I think it's very important for all of us to realize one of our great strengths is for people to be able to worship the way they want to or not worship at all. A bedrock of our freedom is the right to worship freely," Bush said. "See, I understood right off the bat, Matt, that this was an ideological conflict, and people who murder the innocent are not religious people. They want to advance an ideology."

As for concerns about the extent of contact between President Trump's team and the Russian government, Bush declined to say whether he thought there should be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate and merely said, "I think we all need answers."

The 43rd president remained mostly tight-lipped throughout the 2016 presidential election, in which his brother Jeb was a candidate and one-time favorite for the Republican nomination. The former president neither endorsed nor voted for Trump or his opponent, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Nevertheless, when Trump won the election Bush was among the Republican leaders congratulating the president-elect, and he was on hand for Trump's inauguration last month.

The Bushes also didn't weigh in when another family member — cousin Billy Bush — was involved in the leaked Access Hollywood tape of Donald Trump making lewd comments about women that emerged in October and ultimately cost Billy Bush his job on Today. Billy Bush wasn't discussed during the Today interview.

u realize half the budget goes to the military

while US:
- will still the highest spending country in military by far even if it cuts the military spending to half
- doesn't have paid maternity leave (universally only 2 other countries: Oman, and another country idk how to spell)
- the minimum wage been the same since 1960s, no change even w/ inflation
- doesn't have paid single-payer health care (among developed countries)
- pays israel 3.8 Bi per year for the next 10 years w/ total of 38 Bi

and FLINT DOESNT HAVE CLEAN WATER

use ur brain instead of bragging w/ useless big military

Trump has said he wants clean water. That's one of the things he will make sure will happen as long as he's the president. Obama was in charge when the Flint thing happened. Weak leader.

I can see where you're coming from. I think Trump doesn't have anything against weed. Sessions does, but I don't think he's gonna do anything radical. I mean I am annoyed if they're gonna charge people from illegal possession tbf. Should just focus on other things.

You know it was in the Wikileaks that Crooked Hillary would've fought against weed's legalization. We dodged a bullet in many ways.

True. I was hoping he'd be on the "Holy s--- we can make hella money from this s---" train (which he still may be...other than Spicer saying they were going to crack down I haven't heard really anything else)

Obama was in the Virgin Islands. With Richard Branson. You know why they call it the Virgin Islands? You don't even wanna know.

#pizzagate

One of those islands is literally owned by the person who's in prison for pedophilia.

A spokeswoman for Chelsea Clinton told The Post in a statement that "while discussing her and her mother’s support for rescheduling marijuana to allow for further study of both its medical benefits and possible interactions with other medications, Chelsea misspoke about marijuana's interaction with other drugs contributing to specific deaths."

I call it how I see it: this was the most presidential Donald Trump has ever been. Probably the best speech he's ever delivered.
