Their latest flat-out lie has just been exposed:-

Defending the proposed Tax Bill, Steve Mnuchin, Trump's Treasury Secretary has repeatedly said, "...hundreds of people are working round the clock..." refering to his Treasury staff double checking the figures and projections of the Tax Bill.

The reality? "Those inside Treasury's tax office,which Mr.Mnuchin has credited with running the models, say they have been largely shut out of the process and are not working on the type of detailed analysis he describes....Treasury has not released a dynamic analysis showing that the tax plan would be paid for with economic growth [as Mnuchin claims] because one does not exist."

Not doing your homework is one thing, but that sounds like criminal negligence, like the designer of the Titanic saying,"Oh yeah, we have people checking the lifeboat capacity against the passenger manifest right now."

Looks like Kushner is the fish they've hooked and will be reeling in soon.

What's the current odds on the following:

1. Trump pardons Flynn?

2. Trump pardons his son-in-law?

3. Kushner gives up Trump to save Ivanka and himself?

4. The Bat finally figures out autofellatio?

5. Frowny comes out of the closet about his Foo Fighter's collection?

6. #occultvista2018 actually becomes a really big thing next year?

Don't do that. Don't be a little bitch. Don't eschew information simply because it isn't coming from CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX or BBC. They extrapolated on a story that was published by the global 'Human Rights Watch' organization, which was established 40 years ago. They annually publish 100+ reports and briefings on human rights conditions in 90 countries and meet with federal governments, the United Nations, the European Union, etc. to press for changes in policy and practice that promote human rights and justice around the world.

But I digress . . .

I don't speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, Min or whatever Chinese dialect they are speaking, so I can't really know if the suppositions they are making are true.

But assuming they are, that is fucking gross homie!

China's population is about 4 times that of the US and their infrastructure throughout most of the country is primitive, at best. They have to do basically anything and everything to eat and survive.

You haven't lived until you've experienced a few China buffets out in the sticks.

Sunderland fan 'causes supporters to vomit when he drops trousers and takes a POO in the stands' during match - Mirror Online

Quote:

A Sunderland fan allegedly pulled his trousers down and had poo during the home match with Reading - causing at least one fan to vomit.

Black Cats supporters took to a Sunderland fan forum after the match to reveal details of the incident, which is said to have taken place at the Stadium of Light during the defeat.

Writing online, one fan explained how the man sat in the South Stand suddenly jumped to his feet and dropped his trousers.
I simply cannot believe this.

Had a look on Sunderland's forum, really wish I could view the thread 'Punching a horse vs ****ting in the stands'.
