It was a statement put out by republicans, I'll try and find it when I get a chance

"WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chair Sharon Day released the following statement celebrating Christmas:

“Merry Christmas to all! Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends.

“Even as we celebrate, we must also remember those among us who are less fortunate. Many on this day are without hope, and need the kindness and compassion of those around them. It is our prayer we will rise to meet the material, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals all around us, and what better day is there to love our fellow man than today?

“As we open presents, enjoy Christmas dinner, and celebrate our own family traditions, we are mindful of our men and women in uniform. Many are stationed around the world today protecting our freedoms, and cannot be with their own spouses, children, parents, and siblings. We express the deepest gratitude for service that takes them away from celebrating with loved ones, and we ought to remember them in our thoughts and prayers not just on Christmas Day, but the whole year round.”

There's a lot of plausible deniability there.

Yeah. Can't really blame reporters for asking the question though

Trump doesn't give them much of a chance to ask questions. He tweets a few times a day and doesn't talk to the media. Then he has a rally, again, talking right to the people without giving the media a chance to ask questions. He's totally controlling the narrative. The things we do find out we're finding out from foreign press because someone he talks to lets it leak. Once they lock down that source of information, we'll be totally in the dark to what he's doing.

see, if there was a god, she'd treat the dimwits who composed, approved and released that shit to a lightning bolt enema

What a weirdly fake discussion around US/Israel Dermer is trying to create. Israel is illegally building settlements and they've had a non-binding slap on the wrist about it. It doesn't help the two-stater solution or fundamentally change Us Israeli relationship except that Netanyahu is using it to build power back home. He ia the head of his political party that won an election in a democratic state, not some leader of the Jews like seems to be the narrative in some circles.

This shit is so irritating. The US abstains once, rightfully so, and suddenly Democrats and President Obama are anti-Israel, anti-Semitic hatemongers.

Such a false discussion that so many are starting from. Dermer has pissed me off perhaps more than Netanyahu has.

@realDonaldTrump The world was gloomy before I won - there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!

It really did feel like the first 20 minutes of "joe vs the volcano" before he was elected

now it just feels like the alternate ending where Joe loses

Nothing he won't take credit for... sun coming up tomorrow because of Trump.

Well, he does, in fact, look like the Sun. Or does the Sun look like him. hummmmmm.....

I am strongly considering joining Twitter and following Trump just so I can tell him to shut the fuck up.

probably were swapping Mrs Obama is a monkey 'jokes'

look at the difference in how people answer those questions to how The Donald's buddy Carl answers them. It's a pathology.

@realDonaldTrump 11h11 hours ago
I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or recieved millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won't report!

it was a fraud charity which he used as a piggybank to get accolades and use for lawsuits and buy paintings of himself and other junk.

David Fahrendhold covered this extensively.

if only there was a way to tell how much he gave to charity

Remember when Trump urged Russia to hack Hillary? I still cannot believe that he is going to be President.

SEIU geared up to cut budget 30%

guess the Fight for 15 will have to wait...$12/hr was a lame, useless policy idea anyway. This is better. All or nothing, I say!

This will be good for liberals. Good!

turns out it was a 400 lb guy named Russia. So both he and the FBI/CIA are correct.

Principled never trump-ers are lining up to serve this pos. No elected Republican who matters has or will do anything to oppose
