| The Senate passed a budget bill (a crucial part to President Trump's planned tax overhaul) with a narrow 51-49 vote. Now it just needs to reconcile it with the House's proposal. | |

| The Czech Republic elected a populist anti-establishment billionaire for it's new prime minister.
In other words, he's the Czech version of Donald Trump. And he's going to make the Czech Republic great again. Ignore those who say otherwise. They are fake news.

She's not a door-to-door salesman. The sale was approved by at least 20 different government organizations, including a Republican-led Congress.

I'm not saying they're blameless, but I am saying that Hillary had more power and influence and thus, she gets the lion's share of the blame.

Totally not trying to deflect the allegations I'm sure. I agree As someone in the comments pointed out he says he doesn’t remember the encounter, but then goes onto say it would have been a drunken encounter. Either way it makes it sound like he might remember it, drunken or not imo. Which of course “might” be a sign that it definitely happened. This is both good and bad. I’m glad all these people are getting busted but I’m not sure my heart can take learning some of my favorite actors are in on this stuff. | |

Yeah, I try to be as unbiased and objective as I can when it comes to Trump, trying not to get caught up in rhetoric and judge for myself, but this? Why? Like, what is the point? The only two things I can think of are A) He's making a point of undoing everything Obama did, regardless of whether it was good or bad, out of spite, or B) Doing this simply so his sons can go game hunting and bring back their "trophies".

Either way, it's sickening. I'm one of those people who think that Trump has done better then what many people think, but this is one of those things I can't defend. It's bad enough that Mugabe, the former dictator of that country, allowed elephant pouching and had his forces poison elephants via toxic watermelons in that country in the first place. It's even worse that we have psychopathic poachers use rocket launchers to pouch elephants. (Yes, some really do that.) But this... You know, India has a place named Karinzinga National Park. They have a shoot-to-kill policy regarding poachers. It's been controversial since some innocent people have got wounded, but since it's been in place, pouching has gone down a lot. I honestly think African countries implementing that same policy might be the only thing that can save elephants and rhinos at this point. _______________ The undisputed dominant predator of Jurassic Mainframe.

| North Korea is making a ballistic missile submarine.
This is frightening. While North Korea has long range rockets that can hit the continental U.S.A., their reliability is still questionable. Their short and medium range missiles, however, are far more reliable. A few nuclear warhead tipped medium ranged missiles modified to fit on a North Korean submarine is FAR more dangerous then launching an ICBM on North Korean soil.

He really needs to be stopped. Indeed, China has had talks about possibly removing Kim and even thinking about not having to deal with North Korea anymore. This guys has been a spoiled brat for his whole life and has no idea about how dangerous his actions will be. The fact that he's worshiped as a god and so are his dad and grandfather makes things worse. Add that with a BRUTAL Stalinist rule that's been in place as long as North Korea has been around and most of the population brainwashed beyond help, and you have a situation that makes the Cuban Missile Crisis look like a sandfight. Only Iran going nuclear could roughly rival this. - Tyrant Lizard wrote:

He really needs to be stopped. given North Korean rhetoric, if they do develop a ballistic missile sub, it's reasonable to expect that other powers will be keeping a very close eye on it from a safe distance, and if there's any indication that it seems to be moving into an attack position then it's probably gonna go straight to Davy Jones in short order. while it is extremely worrying, just remember that all the countries that North Korea threatens do take these threats seriously (except maybe South Korea, but only because they consider them all talk and no action like they've done for the better part of the last century--still doesn't mean they aren't prepared) and can probably counter the rather outdated North Korean tech with modern defenses. even considering trump is utterly incompetent, the military isn't and that's what counts. _______________ Requiescas in pace, Jurassic Park Legacy.
