But Obama is a pussy ass intellectual unlike Das Orange Fuhrer,a true Amerikkkan man of action and strength. So refreshing....
The Japanese study English in high school through college because it is the language of commerce.
Trump may have assistants who speak Japanese and translate for him. No doubt that he has one or more of his hotels or even a golf course in Japan.

It was not Thailand, but Indonesia and it is NOT "common" in Indonesia as Muslims consider dogmeat to be 'unclean'. I don't know if his Muslim step-father fed it to him because he didn't elaborate how he consumed it. He did however joke about it at the WH Correspondents Dinner. How nice.
In reference to mudslinging - Olbermann is your main man there. Because he tried to tie this to Trump and pet ownership and ignored dog eating.
Rather than just stick to the facts, he told half a story.
Seems this crap decision didn't just appear overnight..
USDA Says Removal of Animal Welfare Records Not Final
- By MARY CLARE JALONICK, ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Agriculture Department says "adjustments may be made" in its decision to remove animal welfare inspection reports, enforcement records and other information about the treatment of animals from its website.
The information, including lists of animal welfare violations at commercial dog and horse breeding facilities and animal testing labs, was removed from the department's website Friday morning.
A spokeswoman for USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said Tuesday..."These decisions are not final," said USDA's Tanya Espinosa in a statement. "Adjustments may be made regarding information appropriate for release and posting."
..."APHIS is currently involved in litigation concerning, among other issues, information posted on the agency's website," Espinosa said. "While the agency is vigorously defending against this litigation, in an abundance of caution, the agency is taking additional measures to protect individual privacy."
Espinosa said a review of the website has been ongoing and the agency decided to "make adjustments to the posting of regulatory records" in 2016, before President Donald Trump took office. But former President Barack Obama's agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack, appeared not to act on that decision.
On Sunday, a former USDA spokesman for Vilsack said on Twitter that the decision to remove the reports was "not required."
"Same option given 2 past admin. We refused. #transparency," tweeted Matthew Herrick.
At issue is a long-running dispute between animal rights groups and some animal industry groups, including the horse industry, over documents related to the Animal Welfare Act and the Horse Protection Act. Some in the industry have sued the department to have the records removed from the website, citing personal information."
...The Humane Society of the United States says it has taken steps to reopen a settled lawsuit against USDA. The two parties settled a lawsuit in 2009 that required some of the information to be posted.
******
So the fight for full disclosure has been ongoing for years. This is not new but the. blame-mudslinging is.
To add to the USDA garbage and what Corporations have tried to pull over the last few years, is now this man..
One of the top advisers to USDA from the Trump administration has been Brian Klippenstein, who comes from an animal agriculture group called Protect the Harvest. One of that group's missions is to "inform America's consumers, businesses and decision-makers about the threats posed by animal rights groups and anti-farming extremists."
Ugh!.

Nice! I've always leaned liberal, but I do remember thinking that Steele seemed to be a decent guy, and I absolutely got the impression that he's a very smart man.

He had a task that was next to impossible, to be honest. I clowned him a lot back in the day but I have a newfound respect for him. Still being the chair of the RNC after two back to back blowouts was going to be an uphill battle for anyone but him become the chair always seem reactive and not proactive to me.
Yes.

BS. Its relevant because you're blaming Trump who it's been revealed had nothing to do with this since it was in the works during the last Administration. That Ollberman used the silly false equivalency Trump did this because he might not have owned a pet or not...Huh?
Why then no video that Obama also might never have owned one and ON TOP, he ate a dog. (Yuck).
Under Obama's Administration, why did he allow Idaho to pass the disgusting 'AG GAG' Bill?
Where was Olbermann's outrage and 'Blame Obama' then?
It's fucked up that the USDA removed the files because of BS privacy issues due to litigation, but Olbermann should have stuck to the facts instead of 'blaming Trump" because he might not have pets.
Smh the reach you stretch is ridiculous.

You do know that I didn't post the Olbermann video or make any comment about that video, right? I'm not blaming Trump for anything. I'm calling you out for comparing what Obama did as a child to Trump's behavior as an adult. True, Trump acts like a child most of the time but in this case that's neither here nor there.
Don't like being called out for making false equivalences? Then stop making false equivalences.

False equivalency only in your leftist cocoon. Hypocrisy knows no bounds with the Left.
Do you not see you are propagating a false equivalency with Obama EATING a DOG and Trump's behaviour? Where is the connection?
If you want to attribute it to the actions of a 10 year old Obama, there is no excuse for his behaviour as an adult on the matter..

Trump did initiate the blackout, not Obama. Interesting how you claimed the MSM was biased before yet are using an AP article to support your pro Trump stance.

And as far as this being a problem of the Obama administration, go to 8:00 of video below.

No..but he's never expressed regret. He's actually mocked it. I think he cares about animals as much as Trump does. Both suck IMO.

I have no idea what the connection between those two things is, which is makes absolutely zero sense that you even mentioned it in the first place.
In case you forgot what you wrote a few short hours ago, here is your complete, unedited quote in it's entirety:
The underlined and highlighted part is where you mention the President, as a child, eating a dog in the context of Trump's actions as an adult. No one even mentioned that until you decided to bring it up. And even more to the point, your original quote, in it's entirety didn't even mention any of the other stuff you wrote about in later posts whether it's about an AG GAG bill or anything else. Stop moving the goalposts already.

Right wingers demonize black people for being on food stamps. Here you are expecting a black man to express regret for something he ate as a child.
I'm glad he finds it just as hilarious as I do.
Racist whites put dogs before black people and I ate one is what he is saying.
Good for him.
