RT: Russia seeks to ‘create conditions so that NOBODY wants to fight us’ – Putin

Vladimir Putin has confided that US President Donald Trump privately lamented the "insane" US military budget. He also says Russia protects itself by making the costs of attacking the country too high for anyone to contemplate.

“The US has outstripped us” in terms of annual defense expenditure, the Russian president said in a new episode of news agency TASS's ‘20 Questions to Vladimir Putin’ series. But being the world’s largest military spender doesn’t really make Donald Trump particularly happy, Putin said.

“Donald told me that they have adopted an insane [military] budget for the next year, $738 billion.”

Mexican immigrant who was released by Chicago authorities (Let us be HONEST: DEMOCRATS) despite ICE telling them not to 'went on to rape a three-year-old girl in a McDonald's bathroom as she cried 'daddy, daddy''

Democrats do not have intelligence ...

Except of the evil sort.

"A Mexican immigrant, who was released by Chicago authorities despite ..."

See what the puta mierdas of the press did?


Christopher Puente is a 'Mexican immigrant.' (No longer even an undocumented immigrant)

Jeb Bush's wife is a 'Mexican immigrant.'

Are the two the same?

On one hand, Christopher Puente is an ILLEGAL ALIEN or an iillegal immigrant.'

On the other hand, Columba Garnica Gallo is a legal immigrant.' PERIOD!

So why do the Democrats/liberals insist on conflating the two legal definitions or terms?

We know why. They are evil, power hungry shits!

This was first mainstreamed political by the 2nd worst president in American history, Jimmy Carter.

"According to the previously mentioned Ngram Viewer, usage of “undocumented immigrant” first appeared in publishing no later than 1967, soon after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 became law. However, former President Jimmy Carter helped popularize the term in the late 1970s when his administration ordered immigration employees to use “undocumented immigrant” instead of “illegal alien.”[8] The New York Times also began using the term around the same time."

Yup, Jimmy Carter is a shit.

"My compelling logic is that 2000 is big round number

IT'S IS B-I-I-I-G AND R-O-O-UND

"STOP IT!!!" Dilbert


Notice that Dilbert is not taken in by Dogbert's lies, because he can reason. He is not a dumb, knuckle-dragging humanities major.

Notice how the prostitutes of the press shout about the 3,000 deaths not the 45,0000 recoveries. Or the people who got the virus and didn't even know it (like most every one).

Notice how squirrel like the article, because it used the word "soared."

So squirrel used the word soared. Does that make him a quant? Good with numbers or analysis?


An additional note notice how the Squirrel in Dilbert is dumb as a box of rocks like ...

The rapes was very, very bad. For the girl and everyone. Look up where it happened. Would you ask a tourist from the US or any country to visit the heart of Chicago?


This is Mayor Lightheaded's fault.
