President Donald Trump made several false or misleading statements about illegal immigration and border security in a nationally televised speech Tuesday.

This thread contains corrections for some of the untruths he spoke during his primetime address 👇👇politi.co/2HceqMa
Trump: "I am speaking to you because there is a growing and humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border."
--
The claim that today's border crossings represent a "crisis" isn't true. The number remains below annual levels under Obama. More: politi.co/2HceqMa
Trump: "Over the years, thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country."

Studies show legal immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than natives and undocumented are half as likely to be incarcerated. More: politi.co/2HceqMa

Over the last decade, Ryan Zinke has shown a pattern of pursuing business deals and political power at the same time – even when those roles sometimes conflict politi.co/2GxoCyQ
Now, Zinke is under investigation for a business deal involving the chairman of Halliburton – an energy company he regulated as Interior secretary politi.co/2GxoCyQ
But the questions about Zinke’s ethics go back as far as 1999. A Navy report from that year (he was a SEAL for 23 years) said he experienced “lapses of judgement” after he billed the military for personal travel. politi.co/2GxoCyQ

"They didn’t care about [Hillary Clinton’s] emails…because if they did, they’d be up in arms right now as the Chinese are listening to the president’s iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart," Barack Obama said at a campaign event, slamming GOP politicians and conservative media
Barack Obama said Republican "fear mongering" over the migrant caravan is one of many issues GOP leadership has used to distract while “they are robbing you blind.”

"They’re giving tax cuts out to billionaires, but they don’t want you to notice that," he continued
"Fox News will not tell you that what the Republicans are saying about pre-existing conditions aren’t true... but it would be nice if the serious outlets did,” Obama said, slamming the media for not calling out inaccurate statements made by elected officials

Obama officials defend their complicit actions of not pursuing Hezbollah aggressively by offering up 8 arrests of evidence that they did?

THAT is funny right there! Weren't there 19 people arrested in the #BundyRanch incident? Thats more than 2x the # of Hezbollah
OF COURSE!!!!! Obama Administration falls back on "... but but but... we can't just arrest major drug-smugglers / sex-traffickers / terrorists... what if MOSSAD had an inside lead?"

EXCUSE ME..... WHAT THE F**K?????

(THREAD) THE “PEE-TAPE” EXISTS.

Here’s why we can be sure that it does.

(Whether anyone outside the Kremlin will ever see it is another question entirely.)
“One of the questions [Steve] Colbert asked his Russian handler, who was ex-KGB back when it was the KGB, was would a tape have been made? It is considered standard practice, he was informed…” tinyurl.com/yc4nyota
1/ To see that the Steele dossier’s narrative of Trump-Russia collusion is undoubtedly correct, all we have to do is understand what, on a close reading, memos #080 and #095 actually tell us. tinyurl.com/znm89bc
