    You're thinking of Ivana, his ex wife, and it's probably a safe bet she won't be there.

    Ivanka is his daughter and she will definitely be a speaker.

    FACT: That is exactly the testimony Guiliani was referring to. Thank you for both reaffirming that, and for displaying your ignorance: How can you 'figure out what happened and do everything you can to prevent it from happening again' when you are busy telling a lie about what happened? Her OWN TESTIMONY speaks to the importance of what Guiliani was talking about.


    FACT: There weren't a lot of Swedish people knocking down the World Trade Center.

    .

    FACT: This is true. I have read the Quran. While almost all Muslims I know are some of the nicest, respectful, most mild mannered people you could ever meet, the Quran does have portions in it that lend themselves to be twisted if one wants to do so.

    FACTS: There are no consequences for non compliance.


    FACT: Iran benefits from lifted sanctions without complying:

    Fact: Both Parties Interpret the Framework Differently..


    The GAO found it troubling
    , as well.

    Among the issues they found: a
    Bringing up another FACT: There is no "continuously monitor Iran's nuclear sites to verify that Tehran is keeping its enrichment activities within limits set out in the deal and that none of the fissile material is being moved to covertly build a bomb." There is an undefined process to request access, which will lead to very lengthy delays in even getting into these sites, by which time any issue will be well hidden.

    Leading to FACT: Essentially you have wild hopes for a good outcome, with little chance of actually achieving them. iran gets their money now, pays lip service to the restrictions, hems and haws and balks at negotiating consequences, and gets the bomb mostly right on schedule. Leading to the original statements about this deal being TRUE.



    CLAIM (Jeff Sessions): "Understand this. From 2000 to 2014, while our existing population increased by millions, the number of jobs held by Americans actually declined. Amazingly, all the net job growth during that period went to immigrants."

    Which is mostly true of any study...and also which doesn't necessarily change the study, the data, or the results.

    See above...most interpretation of data is misleading. See the one you provided, for example:

    Gains for workers past the retirement age isn't even necessarily a good thing (it means they aren't retiring), nor is it the group that you would want to see the new jobs going to.

    Yes, it likely would. This renders the data invalid...how?

    Good, so it isn't just old people getting the new jobs, it is foreign born workers as well?

    Yes, data leaning both ways, but overall crime seems to have gone down. It is worth noting that one of those large cities, with a marked increase in crime, is Chicago, which is also following the liberal agenda on crime more strongly than any other city, and with very bad results.

    I'll give you this one. But this is very similar to what most politicians say about things, trying to make it like it was their idea to start with.

    How do true Trump supporters still not realize that he's on a massive troll job? It's almost like he's trying to see how much he can slip past these idiots.

    That list of speakers tonight was like a "who's who" of "who's that?"

    Ya, tend to agree with this. Would even bet it isn't the first time. I do think listening to Flynn outline why he holds these opinions is more enlightening, but this speech didn't do that...and people tend to gloss over details anyway.

    So all those people applauding for Melania Trump...they're essentially applauding for Michelle Obama? Lol.

    Comedic gold. Can't make this stuff up. The supporters are eating it up, which is what makes it even more hilarious. Although it isn't very funny that there are so many dumbasses in our country :/

    Yeah, if Michelle had a **** speech back in 08, this must mean Trump's speech was **** too.

    My goodness. How do you think you can get away with that and have nobody notice? What? I thought it was just Trump that was brain damaged... apparently not.
