Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster - is imploding fast!

This is the original report from 2016!

www.military.com/daily-news/2016/09/17/amid-closure-complications-ex-gitmo-detainees-return-to-terror.html

"The new report shows that of the 161 former detainees released during this administration (Obama), nine are "confirmed" to be "directly involved in terrorist or insurgent activities."

By comparison, 532 detainees were released during the Bush administration, of which 113 have re-engaged in some type of terror-tied activity."

Gosh, he's up bright and early again this morning. Must have something on his mind Hmm

Neverthelessshepersisted · 07/03/2017 12:27

The less Obama says, the more incensed Trump becomes.....

It must be nice to feel so powerful without having to do anything except keep your mouth shut.

Dumdedumdedum · 07/03/2017 12:32

I really hadn't appreciated just how good President Obama (and indeed, the great majority of his predecessors) was, until this prat turned up on the scene.

While it's unfortunate some of them return to fight, honestly, what do they expect?? They can't hold them without charge indefinitely. They can't just arbitrarily put them to death.

So frustrating.

For eight years Russia "ran over" President Obama, got stronger and stronger, picked-off Crimea and added missiles. Weak! @foxandfriends

Neverthelessshepersisted · 07/03/2017 13:29

Are you sure that's him?

I didn't know he could do inverted commas.....

re: "Are you on glue?" he's the first person who has ever deserved that question.

Lweji · 07/03/2017 13:37

I didn't have time to show some calculations:

5% of those released by Obama returned to terrorist activities
21% of those released by Bush returned to terrorist activities

So, 4x more by Bush.

What is the clown complaining about?

Lweji · 07/03/2017 13:38

I didn't know he could do inverted commas.....

He can't.

He uses them a lot, but pretty much in odd places.

BiglyBadgers · 07/03/2017 13:39

I didn't know he could do inverted commas.....

They probably just had a 'How to do inverted commas' guide on Breitbart, so he will be using them all the time now.

Don't worry, getting rid of state lines, which will promote competition, will be in phase 2 & 3 of healthcare rollout. @foxandfriends

This is hugely important. House GOP repeal plan promises coverage for those w/preexisting condition but doesn't include a way to pay for it.

I am working on a new system where there will be competition in the Drug Industry. Pricing for the American people will come way down!

My god, his handlers must be having conniptions with all this tweeting today.

Someone who seems to have gone under the radar so far.

For your interest

helzapoppin2 · 07/03/2017 13:56

I would like to see Trump's tweets ignored completely by everybody, especially the media.
Surely you can't govern by Twitter, and it pains me that huge, expensive time wasting investigations are sparked off by his tweets. Let him complain about wiretapping or whatever through the proper channels and see how bored he gets with that.
At the moment it's like indulging a three year old.

GingerIvy · 07/03/2017 14:00

Stephen Miller hasn't really gone under the radar - he just stuck his head over the parapet once to do some interviews, was roundly scoffed at as a jumped up twat with delusions of grandeur, and he slunk back down to his gutter.

Neverthelessshepersisted · 07/03/2017 14:01

'Fraid we don't have that luxury helzapoppin2

He's more like a mad monarch in the old days. It didn't matter how barking their requests were, their statements were constitutionally the centre of what was going on because the alternative was anarchy.

Besides, you would treat your tantrumming three year old differently if they had the nuclear codes up the tree with them wouldn't you?

Oh I don't know, helza. As long as he has - what he thinks are - 'known enemies' - he doesn't have to go looking for new ones to 'beat'.
