The whole "Kennedy was murdered by the deep state" conspiracy theory looks less and less likely every day that passes with Trump still alive.  If they deemed Kennedy worth killing, then certainly Trump's time should have been up after like a week.

After he was cucked in Helsinki for sure.

I saw a recent donation by one self-named as "Pelosi and Schumer" so I had to laugh at that one.  Up to 850k now, I can see now why the aliens don't want to initiate contact with the general public heh...

 

It's over a million now. Some dumbass donated $1,000.

Is that gofundme one where it'll disburse the funds even if it's only partially funded? Or is it one of the "all or nothing" setups?

Here is what it says. They must be getting the money and then will "refund" if they don't get to a set point. My guess is since they have already made a million, it's close enough for them to keep it.

Quote

• We will hold all funds and not release a single penny until we have all legal aspects covered to ensure our money goes only to the wall. 

• If we don’t reach our goal or come significantly close we will refund every single penny.  We are working on a time frame to achieve.

Blind, burrowing amphibian named after Donald Trump

The newly named amphibian, dermophis donaldtrumpi.

(CNN)After winning an auction to name a newly discovered blind amphibian, a British company chose Donald Trump as the creature's namesake, likening its behavior to the US President's stance on climate change.

Dermophis donaldtrumpi was discovered in Panama and has a propensity for burrowing its head in the ground, said Aidan Bell, co-founder of sustainable building materials company EnviroBuild.
"Realizing the similarities between the amazing but previously unknown creature and the leader of the free world we couldn't resist buying the rights," Bell told CNN via email.
The animal is a caecilian -- a limbless, burrowing amphibian -- that spends most of its time underground, according to a statement from EnviroBuild. It lost its limbs around 60 million years ago but does have tentacles that it uses to find prey.
"As demorphis donaldtrumpi is an amphibian, it is particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change and is therefore in danger of becoming extinct as a direct result of its namesake's climate policies," said Bell in a statement.
Trump has long been known as a climate-change skeptic.
"Global warming is a total, and very expensive, hoax," he tweeted in 2013, and his stance does not appear to have changed much since he became President.
In late November, Trump dismissed the Fourth National Climate Assessment, a US government research report on climate science, because he didn't agree with its findings.
"I don't believe it," Trump told reporters, adding that he had read "some" of the report.
However, it makes for worrying reading.
"Climate change creates new risks and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in communities across the United States, presenting growing challenges to human health and safety, quality of life, and the rate of economic growth," says the report.
Bell told CNN that his company had grown frustrated by the lack of progress at the COP24 climate talks in Katowice, Poland at the beginning of December.
"We're not a political company, but climate change shouldn't be political either," he said.
EnviroBuild paid $25,000 for the right to name the animal, which will soon be added to the vulnerable species list, at a December 8 auction to raise money for the Rainforest Trust.
"Protecting the world's remaining rainforests is now acknowledged as one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change, yet every day nearly 70,000 acres of rainforest are destroyed forever," said Chris Redston of Rainforest Trust UK in a statement.
"This is not only one of the main causes of climate change, but it is also having a devastating impact on endangered wildlife, indigenous communities and the planet's weather patterns."

Hahaha. I gotta get in the grifter game. Man, it's lucrative. 

Sucker born every minute. 

ROFL at that gofundme page.  I would not be so quick to dismiss the fundraising efforts of Mr. Kolfage, however.  He may fully intend to give that money to Trump to fund the construction of the wall.  If so, he probably has dual citizenship with Russia, an uncle who is a Russian Oligarch and lots of friends named "Anonymous Donor" at the FSB.

Declare victory and leave.

Classic Trump. Nothing surprising about this. I wonder if he knows ISIS is also in Afghanistan.

I'd expect a reminder from ISIS that they're not defeated. Terrorist groups don't have to control territory in order to conduct acts of terror.

If they were going to do something, they would have in the past 2 years when they knew that they wouldn't possibly be left with a President Pelosi.   The pee tape could come out tomorrow with Trump peeing on 12 year old prostitutes and they would do no more than express their concerns, what about Clinton/Kennedy/Byrd/Jefferson, and scream about FAKE NEWS.

I’m kinda for this.  Those morons want to shoot each other for the rest of time, fine.  

That is not how we should treat the Kurds and our other allies. I guess we should just fuck everybody when it suits us? People are going to be really happy when we eat shit of our own making because it will be well deserved.
