The problem is that it was very obvious that Trump was a swamp animal before getting elected so we knew what we were getting ourselves into ... and still did it.

You can't blame him for thinking he would get away with it, everyone else had.

Seems like the consensus of leaders of the Religious Right around Trump is breaking down. Who's right?

Family Talk Founder and President Dr. James Dobson recently called the omnibus spending bill signed by President Trump "a betrayal" to evangelical voters, especially since the bill includes funding for Planned Parenthood. https://radio.foxnews.com/2018/03/30...elical-voters/

Boy ain't that the truth. That's why I deleted my account.

But many young ones are addicted to social media. Facebook will take a hit, but it will promise to be good now, and will live on.

I downloaded everything on my account and there was nothing. What they did have was conjecture (things that people I am friends with like, etc).

I think it is very sad when you see what many people post, it seems that many people are desperately lonely.

Your meme should show Zuckertrump. Facebook today said the personal information of up to 87 million people, most of them Americans, may have been improperly shared during the 2016 election with Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm connected to our beloved President Trump. The new figure sharply increased the company’s previous estimate of how many users’ information was harvested by Cambridge Analytica. For weeks, Facebook had said that the data of about 50 million users was at issue.

Where's the Immigration Crisis? U.S. Border Patrol Reports Illegal Border Crossings At Record Low

Trump was just overreacting to a story he heard on Fox News making him look bad cuz he signed the budget bill despite the fact that it didn't finance his wall. He doesn't care what it costs us or who he hurts to protect his gargantuan self-image.

Talk about a dissembling campaign of misinformation!

Zuckerberg now claims FB helped Trump!

Someone please tell Hillary that this is reason number #37 why she lost.

No. Channel 4 News, a news program broadcast by the British public service, conducted a four-month investigation into Cambridge Analytica starting in November 2017. Alexander Nix, chief executive of Cambridge Analytica, in the third part of the series, stated that Cambridge Analytica "ran all the digital campaign" for Trump. Nix said they used communications that would be self destructive, leaving no incriminating evidence. This has been widely reported.
