nah. It’s just a way to help his border wall case. Like he gives a shit about drug problems.

Why do you remain willfully unaware of the world around you?

Trump has already brought down hundreds of opioid pushers and cartels here in America and also in China. The DOJ has multiple prosecutions in progress of America and Canada's largest drug manufacturer, the physicians, clinics, medical centers and government officials conspiring with them to addict Americans for profit.

The scale of his war on drug dealers at the highest levels (drug makers) is far greater than history has seen anywhere on Earth and has likely saved tens of thousands of American lives already. And it will likely grow in size by a factor of ten.

POTUS Trump's 2 terms will be looked back on by historians as the 8 years that saved Americans from slavery.

My God.

I will counter by using your own words and simply "copy and paste" them; "Why do you remain willfully unaware of the world around you?"

I am neither one.
I would agree with you on the issue of you not being a cheater.
The upshot is that your confidence level is low.

.....But as much as historical legacy clearly matters to this president and all presidents, a flawed legacy was probably guaranteed for Trump long ago. As it stands now, the future negatives seem like a small price to pay compared to the multiple ways this impeachment actually works for his political present.

There’s great hate for Donald Trump’s success: Goodwin
By Michael Goodwin

December 7, 2019 | 10:32pm

As I watched Speaker Nancy Pelosi surround herself with large American flags and wrap her impeachment putsch in the language of the Founders, a Mark Twain line came to mind.

“Don’t try and teach a pig to sing,” he warned. “It’s a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.”

Yet that’s exactly what Pelosi is doing.

No matter how she dresses it up, her impeachment is a pig.

Does Pelosi hate Donald Trump? Of course she does. She hates that he’s president, that he’s building an economy that is the envy of the world and that he appeals to voters her party used to own. She’s turned him into such a villain that every success of his is a failure for her.

She calls him a coward, an imposter and keeps saying “all roads lead to Putin.”

Actually, all roads under Trump lead to jobs, jobs, jobs. Some 266,000 were added in November, driving the unemployment rate down to 3.5%, the lowest in 50 years. Wages climbed by 3.1% annually — all signals the economic expansion is still strong.

The report was such a blockbuster that even Trump haters had to admit it. “Trump Parries Impeachment With a Boom,” The New York Times said on page one. But if it looked with a fair eye, the Times would see plenty of other good news, too.


On the global stage, China made positive comments about settling its trade dispute with the US, which helped lift the stock market to new records. Iranians continued to risk their lives demanding more freedoms from the mullahs and Iraqis continued to demand that Iran get out of their country.


Israelis marked the two-year anniversary of Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the Jewish state’s eternal capital and moving our embassy there. Just as two years ago, the anniversary came and went without major disturbances despite predictions of mayhem from the “Arab street.”


And despite the media fixation on the frat-boy antics of Canada’s Justin Trudeau and France’s Emmanuel Macron, the NATO meeting demonstrated that Trump’s persistent demand that Europeans meet their financial obligations for the common defense is paying dividends. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that by the end of 2020, the delinquents will have spent $130 billion more since Trump’s election.


In short, there’s plenty of good news that benefits Americans — and the American Way around the world.


But it’s an alternative reality where the media and Democrats are obsessed with one thing only: trying to end the Trump presidency. Any hope that Pelosi would come to her senses was dashed with her order to draw up articles of impeachment.

“Our democracy is what is at stake,” she said. “The president leaves us no choice but to act.”

She is wrong. She does have a choice, and she made the wrong one.

She could have called off the unpersuasive investigations and left the issue of Trump’s fitness up to voters next November. Instead, despite knowing there is zero chance Dems can muster the two-thirds vote in the Senate needed for conviction and removal, she puts dead-end partisan politics ahead of national progress on numerous fronts.


Her choice was wrong for another reason, too. The two investigations into the 2016 spying effort on the Trump campaign are moving forward and both could lower the overheated political temperature with cold facts.


One of them, the Justice Department’s Inspector General’s report on the conduct of the FBI and other officials as they sought surveillance warrants, will be released Monday.


The other, a criminal probe carried out under Attorney General Bill Barr, will take longer but is said to be moving quickly.


The probes offer a potentially competing narrative to the impeachment push. The Dem narrative says the president is corrupt; the GOP narrative says his accusers are.

Both or neither could be true, of course, but truth ain’t what it used to be. Polarization runs so deep that each side relies on its own scripture.

So it felt inevitable when, soon after Pelosi ripped into a reporter for merely asking if she “hates” Trump, a 1998 video surfaced of her saying Republicans were “paralyzed with hatred” for impeaching Bill Clinton.

Ah, but that was then. Now, when it comes to getting rid of Trump, the only rule for the left is that there are no rules.

Consider Rep. Adam Schiff’s secret subpoenas for phone records, including those of GOP Rep. Devin Nunes, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Washington journalist John Solomon, all of whom had the audacity to defend Trump.

Consider that former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch asked the State Department to compile a watchlist of American citizens and monitor them on social media and other means. Solomon and Giuliani were on that list, too, as were Fox anchors Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, according to a Judicial Watch lawsuit that said the State Department deemed Yovanovitch’s request illegal.

Consider what law professor Jonathan Turley said after the hearing where he was the only witness who argued against impeachment. “Before I finished my testimony, my home and office were inundated with threatening messages and demands that I be fired,” he said.

Finally, consider what Ambassador Gordon Sondland said during his testimony in November. “We have countless emails apparently to my wife, our properties are being picketed and boycotted,” Sondland said. A Dem congressman from Oregon, Earl Blumenauer, publicly called for the action against Sondland’s hotels because Sondland served in the Trump administration.

Pelosi could have ended such madness by calling off the rabid dogs and saying her party trusts democracy. Instead, her impeachment jihad proves she doesn’t.

‘Impeach’ frat prattle

Reader Bob Miletsky has a question, writing: “Is it me, or do the impeachment hearings resemble the trial in ‘Animal House,’ where Dean Wormer wanted to void the frat’s charter?

“I guess soon we will find out that President Trump has been on double secret probation.”

I see, a confidence level approaching an asymptotic zero. A wise choice.
 
Well, when Trump either gets Mexico to pay for the Wall or gets rid of Obama Care then I'll start listening. Until then all I see or hear is drivel from Trump.

US believes Al Qaeda leader in Yemen 'likely' killed by airstrike, source says
By Louis Casiano | Fox News

U.S. officials believe the leader of Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen was "likely" killed by an American airstrike earlier this month, a well-placed source told Fox News Friday.

Qassim al-Rimi is believed to have died as a result of the attack but his death has not been confirmed. The airstrike was first reported by The New York Times.

Rimi's Yemen-based network, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), is considered to be the most dangerous branch of the global terror group since its creation in 2009.

The CIA learned of al-Rimi's location from an informant in Yemen in November, according to the Times, and began tracking him through aerial surveillance and other means.

The U.S. government issued a $10 million reward for terrorist leader Qassim al-Rimi. (Rewards for Justice)

The CIA did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment.

Rimi, 41, became the leader of AQAP when Nasir al-Wuhayshi was killed in a 2015 drone strike.

He previously trained in Afghanistan before returning to Yemen where he was sentenced to five years in prison for plotting to kill an American ambassador. He broke out of prison and rose through the ranks of the group.


In 2017, Rimi released an audio recording mocking President Trump, calling him the "White House's new fool." The message came days after a U.S.-led raid against AQAP killed 25 people, including 11 women and children.

The State Department had offered a $10 million bounty for al-Rimi, who was linked to numerous plots against U.S. interest, The New York Times reported.

The CIA believes he was involved in the 2008 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Sana that killed 10 guards and four civilians. He is also suspected of having links to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called "underwear bomber" who attempted to down a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight with plastic explosives on Christmas Day in 2009.


The Al Qaeda affiliate claimed to have organized the attack and supplied him with the bomb.

The airstrike comes in the same month the U.S. targeted Iranian Quds Force Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who American claimed was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. troops during the Iraq War.
 
Jesse Watters 'can't stop thinking about the box' at center of Trump-Bloomberg feud
By Yael Halon | Fox News

"The Five" hosts responded to the ongoing feud between President Trump and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg Monday after Trump mocked the Democratic candidate's height during a Super Bowl LIV pregame interview with Sean Hannity.

"I do not think there is a box, but I can't stop thinking about the box. Is it wood? Is it steel?" co-host Jesse Watters joked in reference to Trump's claim that Bloomberg had requested to stand on a box if he qualifies for the next Democratic debate.

"The thing is," Watters continued," [is] that Trump just started a rumor ... and the media just runs with it. They are doing the dirty work for him. This is what he does. He accuses [his] opponent of having a shortcoming and the media reports about the ... shortcoming and then the opponent denies he has a shortcoming, but the whole time we are talking about the shortcoming."

Trump went after Bloomberg in a series of tweets over the weekend, calling him “Mini Mike” and claiming that he requested to “stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates.” In his interview with Hannity Sunday, Trump doubled down on his attacks on the billionaire's height, questioning whether allowing him a platform to stand on would be fair to the other candidates.

"You know, now he wants a box for the debates to stand on. OK? It’s OK, there’s nothing wrong," Trump said. "You can be short. Why should he get a box to stand on, OK? He wants a box for the debates. Why should he be entitled to that? Really. Does that mean everyone else gets a box?"

Bloomberg fired back Sunday night denying Trump's claims, saying he "stands twice as tall as he does on the stage that matters." He also called Trump a "pathological liar who lies about his fake hair, obesity and spray-on tan."

"There's something brilliant about the fact that the question isn't 'Is there a box?' the question is, 'Is it fair that he has a box and other people don't?" Greg Gutfeld said.

Gutfeld offered one of his popular analogies, saying Trump utilizes the media "like a T-shirt cannon."

"He puts this visual message on the shirt, Bloomberg on a box and he fires it into the media and you have half the media, [like] CNN who falls for it and writes, 'There is no box.'

"They get all freaked out," he continued, "while we are sitting here laughing at it because we know that this is how the show works and getting the media riled up ... is all he is trying to do."
 
Trump's job approval rating rises to 49 percent amid impeachment, highest since taking office, Gallup says
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

New polling by Gallup reveals that President Trump's approval rating is at an all-time high, as he prepares to deliver his third State of the Union address Tuesday night and the Senate is expected to acquit him in his impeachment trial on Wednesday.

Trump's job approval rating now sits at 49 percent, with a 94 percent approval rating among Republicans and a 42 percent rating with independents, both numbers being highs for Trump's presidency. The GOP itself is also seeing a significant boost.

With Trump's impeachment trial nearing its end, his approval rating among Democrats has decreased from 10 percent in early January to 7 percent now. The 87-point gap between Democrats and Republicans is the greatest difference in any Gallup poll, Gallup said. The prior record, 86 points, was set by the ratings of President Barack Obama during the time of the 2012 election and was matched by earlier polls during Trump's presidency.

Trump's recent military action against Iran that resulted in the death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani is one issue where a majority of Americans gave the president their approval, with 53 percent supporting the move, compared to 45 percent opposed. Gallup cited this issue, Trump's impeachment, the signing of the USMCA trade deal, and the economy as possible reasons for Trump's new high mark.

"Americans' confidence in the economy is higher than at any point in the past two decades," a Gallup report said. "Similarly, national satisfaction is the highest in nearly 15 years."

In addition to Trump seeing a rise in approval, the Republican party as a whole is now viewed more favorably than it has since 2005, according to Gallup's data. Their report states that 51 percent of Americans now have a positive view of the GOP, compared to just 43 percent in September 2019.

The poll was taken between Jan. 19-26, while Trump's impeachment trial was taking place. Of those polled, 52 percent supported Trump's acquittal, with 46 percent saying he should be removed from office.

You forgot to add that more people disapprove of him than approve of him. Not exactly a figure to brag about.
