20 million people are starving and the media only cares about Trump, says UN

[NewOrleansTrolley]

Eh.. you have the left equivalent of the Tea Party post-election running around bemoaning that their extremely corrupt candidate didn't win. Logic has no power here, unless it agrees with their view point.

It's much more sane to f it all, avoid politics, and just live your life.

[Skroe]

Trump is more important.

20 million starving children versus a threat to national security for 320 million people whose idiocy, authoritarian streak and childishness could cause a catastrophe for ten times that number.

The math is easy. The priorities are completely correct.

Once again, there is nothing "Tea Party of the left" about this. The past two weeks, which have basically drained Trump's political capital entirely, have been brought on entirely by Donald Trump and what he has done.

He's everyone who wants to destroy him's most reliable accomplice.

the threat to national security comes from the liberal leaks inside washington. saying otherwise betrays your senses.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

also we pay 22% of the budget for UN? wtf

is this another case of europe and friends getting a free ride? we kinda used to that.

Yup. It's pretty normal these days to see and hear them complaining about shit but actually not doing anything about it minus uttering, "something something something America!" You know the same America they utterly support in just about every way minus on internet forums where suddenly balls are found.

How many scoops of ice cream trump gets is far more important than international affairs!!

[GennGreymane]

Only 20 million now? The number used to be much larger if I remember right. Good job!

Don't be absurd. You do realize that most of these leaks are likely coming from Republicans very close to the the President? Or Senators? Or Congressmen? Once again, the Snowden-esque "viglante leaker" is an extreme exception. Most leaks are "official leaks" and meant to put pressure on another faction as part of a political battle or power struggle. And by official leaks, that means somebody with authority told and approved their subordinate to do so.

Why is it worse in Trump's White House? Because President who demands loyalty but offers none has set up an enormous number of power centers within the White House, and they're all fighting each other to the death. It started with his original decision to have Reince Preibus be "Chief of Staff" and Steve Bannon be "not-Chief of Staff but pretty much". And it got worse from there. You have McMaster fighting against Bannon. You have the VP in his own bubble. You have Gary Cohn's New York Faction. You have Jared Kushner fitting in there somewhere.

You're surprised there's leaks? It's not liberals. They don't have acces. The White House is the fucking Seven Kingdoms, all fighting for influence over King Donald.

You know how Donald Trump fixes this? He picks McMaster and Gary Cohn, and fires everybody else. But here's the fun part: rumors of a shake-up have made it worse, because no everybody is fighting to make the other side look bad.

And you think it's bad now? Wait for public indictments to come down on Flynn, Manafort and Page and people start asking "What did Trump know and when did he know it?". The worst days of Trump-Russia are ahead of Trump, not behind. When that happens, it's going to be World War II inside the White House as the people who joined since the Administration attempt to force out the ideologues of the campaign who are clos(er) to Flynn, Manafort and Page.

This is what happens in Coalition Presidencies. This is why Obama replaced the First Term "Team of Rivals" (remember that) with the Second Term "True Believers". You go on some kind of ridiculous hunt for liberal leakers, you'll come up empty. You want to find a leaker? Look into what Pence's chief of staff has been up to. Or look into what McMasters' deputy's have been talking too... or even Steven Miller... see who he's been placing calls to. That's how leaking works, in almost every case.

Damn, did they have to white balance that photo or is that the way it came? : P

We, westerners, have no problem letting tens of thousands migrants die at sea because they flee a war torn zone or God forbid search for a better life. No one bats an eye. We let people in Africa die of diseases when the factory making the cure is 10 ft away. Because they lack the 5 dollars it costs. While the ones benefitting from the sale of that cure have millions.

Earth needs a cleansing. A cleansing of the free market economy. Bane had it right but a douchebag billionaire stopped him. Just like IRL.

Makes it easier to see the red marker when you cross out the arrested ones.

What disease is endemic to Africa that has the factory for the cure 10 feet away? Where did this happen? What country?
