THAT is some great photoshopping. Expressions are perfect.

 

The Compensation Committee is generally chaired by one of the BoD members and submits the comp proposals to the Board for approval. The only rule is that a "majority" of the committee be Independent but as this article details, "Independent" is not the strict definition you and I might use.

 

Today the Pentagon has notified Congress that it has authorized the transfer of $1 Billion to begin new wall construction along the US-Mexico border

 

Once the US quit bombing the Syrians and providing weapons to ISIS...

Of course if the US had never done anything in the first place ISIS would not have existed. Nothing really for the US to pat itself on the back about.

 

The House failed to muster the needed 2/3s to override President Trump's veto of their National Emergency declaration 248-181.

Thus his first and only veto to date is sustained

 

According to a CNN Poll -- President Trump has a higher approval rating than Ronald Reagan had at the same point in his presidency.

Are all of our liberal posters present and accounted for today?

President Trump is at a near all-time high in support from Republicans.

-- 87% of GOP voters approve of Trump
-- 68% believe Mueller probe was a “witch hunt”

87 percent of GOP approve of Trump, near all-time high, 7-in-10 rip Mueller ‘witch hunt’

 

Hopefully the majority of independents too.

 

Still packing them in

 

They will continue. That’s all they know how to do. They really do nothing for America.

 

China keeps its promise to the President and bans all types of Fentanyl

Yet another major US energy sector milestone -- US Crude Oil production hit 4B barrels in 2018, a new all-time record
This represents a doubling in 7 years, from 2B barrels in 2011
The ~600M barrel increase in 2018 was the largest annual increase in history

 

Now the Dems/ Media will have to focus on Trump's lack of respect in his tweets or stick to the Collusion Delusion. Not much else to be outraged over.

 

You underestimate their ability to be outraged, methinks.

 

Sangre
You are probably right but will their outrages have actual relevance to people's lives?

 

^The Dems and media can always find something over which to be enraged.

 

I blame Trump for this too

 

"Three of eight importers granted waivers by Washington to buy oil from Iran have now cut their shipments to zero, a U.S. official said on Tuesday, adding that improved global oil market conditions would help reduce Iranian crude exports further.

The United States reimposed sanctions on Iran after President Donald Trump last May withdrew the country from a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and several world powers, accusing it of supporting terrorism and conflicts in Syria and Yemen.

While the United States has set a goal of completely halting Iran’s oil exports, it granted temporary import waivers to China, India, Greece, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey and South Korea to ensure low oil prices and no disruption to the global oil market.

“In November, we granted eight oil waivers to avoid a spike in the price of oil. I can confirm today three of those importers are now at zero,” Brian Hook, the special U.S. envoy for Iran, told reporters. Hook did not identify the three.

“There are better market conditions for us to accelerate our path to zero,” Hook said. “We are not looking to grant any waivers or exceptions to our sanctions regime.”..."​

 

OK Joe
I am getting tired of hearing good news EVERY freakin' day.
I want to hear more about peegate or collusion or how Trump is a racist etc etc ( Help me out here Trump haters, maybe about how he hates immigrants)

 

Ok, so I heard on ABC this morning how some Chinese spy with malware on a thumb drive got access to Mira Lago. They then questioned Trump's ability to properly secure the location thus putting the country's security at risk. Happy?
