Yea, Mexico is denying Trump said that. More fake news. At what point do you admit the media is hostile and fabricating stories?  Maybe Trump should consider having the DOJ go after these reporters for libel.

I'm still not sold on the Mexico call, but what gives the Australian PM the balls to criticize Trump. This is a guy who won't even let asylum claimants touch his soil, keeping thousands locked up on an island detainment camp.

The hypocrisy from nations that expect the US to do things they themselves would never do.

I'm in the no camp. If it's true, it's taken completely out of context. The Australian PM story sounds more believable, if not exaggerated and put in the worst light possible.

No way Trump threatened to invade Mexico. Nor threaten to wipe out the cartels unsolicited.

It's on Drudge. I still don't want to believe it because it's so absurd. I'd like to see the full discussion. Some people on another board are already trying to justify it, saying the us military needs to remove the cartels. That's insane. If this is true and not out of context, something needs to happen. Condemnation from congress at a minimum.

If it's not true, and I'm inclined to believe it's not, this proves Trump's point. "Respected" Media outlets are willing to run tabloid trash to maintain a negative frame of his presidency.

People claimed Obama didn't have a scandal (Fast and Furious?!?), but the media wasn't running conspiracy wack job stories about Obama being pissed on.

Is that for real?  I'd want to see the whole conversation to get the full context. But that statement appears to be way out of line. We're not Russia. We don't threaten military action to get an allied country to bend to our will.

Why isn't Trump getting criticized for his first greenlit military mission turning into a botched bloodbath, killing a navy seal and women and children? They'd be crucifying Obama right now.

Soldiers die in combat. It happens. I don't know anything about the mission other than it was allegedly to get valuable intel. Some reports said the women were armed, but I don't know what an American child was doing there. Her parents were probably up to no good, that's for sure.

The complaints and articles counting American dead went out of fashion after Obama took over.  The women and children should be discussed, but military casualties shouldn't be used for political purposes.

Nah, the "ring of fire, young turks" douchebags get to me. When dems try to form their own tea party it's a disaster. And why would they want to? The tea party had one good year and exploded. Is that what they want? To be an ultra extremist minority party? They purged conservative blue dogs (who got Obama care passed) and got a shellacking for it. Now they want to purge centrists. It's ridiculous. That's all I've been hearing on msnbc.

This was my favorite young Turks episode. Alex Jones stopped by, so it's SLC's favorite too.

Be careful ID. SLC and Mitch will castrate anyone who doesn't want to blow up Washington right now.

I built a RetroPie box last weekend.  I haven't been able to snag a NES Classic, so when I saw this, I went for it.  Every NES, SNES and N64 game on a box no bigger than a credit card wide.  You can get the kit off Amazon for $75.  Might be an option for people interested in the NES Classic.
