Benghazi?  Has anyone heard of it?

Quote
WASHINGTON ― Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Tuesday that if “fully implemented,” President Donald Trump’s proposed cuts to State Department funding would lead to “a lot of Benghazi situations.”

Trump first full budget proposal, released Tuesday, was met with heavy criticism, including from his fellow Republicans. But Graham evoking the deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound attacks was, perhaps, the most pointed critique offered. Those attacks ― which left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens ― have been spotlighted by Republicans as massive, even criminal, failures of the Obama administration and, specifically, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

For Graham to cite the Benghazi attacks illustrates the frustration he and others have with Trump’s push to cut U.S. foreign policy functions outside of the military.

“Twenty-nine percent cut to the State Department, I think, is very irresponsible given threats we face,” said Graham, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. “If fully implemented we’d have to retreat from the world or have a lot of Benghazi situations on our hands.”

Graham, who briefly was one of Trump’s opponents in the 2016 presidential race, also said the U.S. can’t win wars “with hard power alone,” referring to an approach focused on the heavy use of military force.

Bengazi is the location of Hillary and President Obama's gun running center, from Libya stockpiles to the militias fighting against Assad in Syria... that one?

The one where no one can say where the President was at all, as decisions were made to leave our people to die fighting our enemies? That one?

The one where Hillary says, "at this point, what difference does it make"? That one... the one that cost her the election in 2016... at least formed the basis for lack of truth telling, that helped the majority of America dislike her more than Donald Trump, when it came to being trustworthy? That one...

Yes, I remember Bengazi... and our civilian CIA/DIA men, killed by Libyan muslim crazies... yep... where Biden told the dad of one hero, your son sure has a big pair of balls... and Hillary told families of the fallen that it was some guy in California who made a movie, that to this day no one has seen or heard of...

Yes, I remember Bengazi...  another 'non scandal' of the Obama administration.

Some people are like the 'slinky'. Not really good for much,
but they bring a smile to your face as they fall down stairs.

  So NW, my comments were all 'news' to you? Sorry you are so protected and confused. Perhaps you need to broaden your 'news' sources, eh?

So you say you remember Bengazi, and yet you didn't get anything from the numerous investigations and continue to rehash the bullshit?  Why am I not surprised?

No, the majority of voters disliked Trump more. He lost the popular vote.

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.

The popular vote only counts for local elections, State election results, in our democratic Republic... Have faith, Vice President Pence will work hard to eventually sort out last year's voters and where they all came from..

Like 'close' only counts in "Horseshoes" and "Hand Grenades"... maybe I heard you quote your Dad about that...

Look at the County by County vote Map, Katiebee, and then tell us who is President now and then tell us who won the votes needed to WIN.

Did your County vote for the Loser, Hillary?

Or, did your County vote for the Winner, President Trump?

try not to be obtuse. Not only is it possible to win the popular vote and lose the electoral college, it has happened several times. That still says that the majority of people did not vote for Trump.

Der Spiegel has a few things to say about Trump...

Quote
Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesn't read. He doesn't bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.

He is a man free of morals. As has been demonstrated hundreds of times, he is a liar, a racist and a cheat. I feel ashamed to use these words, as sharp and loud as they are. But if they apply to anyone, they apply to Trump. And one of the media's tasks is to continue telling things as they are: Trump has to be removed from the White House. Quickly. He is a danger to the world.
