when your prison system is so bad, you give up.

Federal prison in Alberta expected to be first to open supervised drug injection site

This comes as corrections officers plan to protest the system currently in place in some prisons, a needle exchange that sees fresh needles distributed to inmates

You're kidding, right? Trump is the first one in eight years that wasn't actively working the system for cashflow. Part of his dynamic was that he didn't chase other people's money to get elected like the other political types. How much greater was Obama's net worth after his presidency?

The Obamas are worth 30 times more than when they entered the White House in 2008 -- Business Insider
His salary was only about 200k, iirc.

And the Clintons made 200k per year but went from 16MM in debt leaving the white house to 280MM net worth in 2018 according to Forbes. A small part of that was a book deal but the rest was pay to play from the secretary of state and cadre.

Well, another day, another reason not to trust mainstream media.

This also didn't stop Democrats from pouncing on this story. Senator Jeff Merkley posted the tweet below of an image of a Japanese internment camp. Here, he's trying to equate that image with the way illegal aliens are being treated at the moment. Here are the facts (from Ryan Saavedra):

1. The facility Trump is sending illegal aliens to is Fort Sill Army Base

2. It's the same facility that Obama sent illegal aliens to in 2014

3. Illegal aliens are being sent there because Democrats refuse to give the Trump admin the resources it needs to fix the border crisis

4. Democrats/mainstream media are refusing to even admit there is a crisis at the border.

The truth doesn't matter anymore. Just like how Trump was blamed for the images of illegal alien children in cages (which were taken while Obama was in office), the mainstream media will always try to blame Trump and sensationalize headlines.

But guys, I've been reliably told that the mainstream media are the truth tellers, the ones fighting for us, the ones keeping Trump in check with facts... What a load of bull.

$208k is the pension. Salary was $400k + a few other extras like $20k for entertainment and an "extra expense" account of $50k and travel account of $100k.

The book deals helped, but I suspect an even bigger part is the $500k speaking fee.


EDIT: Just found this, "Bill, Hillary and Chelsea all make well into six figures to speak in front of large crowds. Bill and Hillary alone have reportedly made over $150 million in speaking fees between 2001 and 2015."

You do know that the speaking fees are a bribe, right? Please tell me you understand how this works.

Please tell me you understand there is no need to be condescending when I was just pointing out some facts I found?

Everything in politics is a bribe, please tell me you understand how this works?

Can't say with 100% certainty that this is legit, but it certainly does not appear to be a Photoshop job.

WI? photoshop. The original sign probably says “Let your guns as the front door so we can frame you for murder.”

I don't believe that's true.

For one, this is (allegedly) a government-issued sign.

For two, as someone who has personally committed innumerable counts of forgery of electronic documents, and has actually attended an NSA seminar* on the subject, I'm just not seeing any of the tell-tale signs here. There are no macroblock discrepancies, no diffs in the expected compression artifacts, etc. I am 99% certain that photo is authentic.

* = Yes, believe it or not, the NSA has actually given many seminars to the broadcast industry on how to spot literal fake news, at a technical level. They seem to give a shit about whether what we report is true or not, which makes sense, given that they use us as a major source of intelligence. I've been to two of them. Surprisingly fascinating, really. I learned a heck of a lot about the MPEG and JPEG family of Codecs, as well as a few tips about Photoshop / Aftereffects / FinalCut which I may or may not have exploited for financial gain. All of this information is unclassified, so @Braineack, you're safe.

I wish i was kidding.. i'm not. There's tons of evidence that the people he hired also donated to him.
