How do you know? What possible evidence do you have to make that statement? Enlighten us please.

And should something happen on their way there, the world knows automatically - it was the criminal Trump with his best buddy Putin.

Make a good SNL skit wouldn't it?

Back to the topic...

You would make a good politician. Never try to answer a question you don't want to answer.

Just as long as he doesn't reveal a photo of the SEAL Team that's undercover in the House of Representatives we're all good. Hopefully while Trump was colluding with the Russians he picked up some of that stuff they used in the UK not too long ago.

It is as if you didn't bother to read the article:

But make no mistake: Revealing the identities of SOF personnel is still bad news, even if they're not tasked with a real "covert" mission.

"Even during special operation demonstrations for congressional delegations or for the president or vice president, personnel either have their faces covered or their face is digitally blurred prior to a release to the general public," as one DoD official told Newsweek. "I don't recall another time where special operation forces had to pose with their faces visible while serving in a war zone."

The gallows sling slowly contracts...

I read the article Dowly, now don't strain yourself stretching a point like that. You're big gotcha moment relies on one unnamed DOD official who is claimed to have said that by Newsweek in order to back up their hit piece that was trying to make a mountain out of a flat plain. You blissfully ignore Military.com's main conclusion that it was really no big deal.

Try and see past your hatred of me and Trump for just a wee second and ask yourself who took that video and why wouldn't they have been under the control of the military in whose facility they were filming as is always the case, and how could they pass an unauthorized video to the President of the United States?

Remember the only one that was actually identified was a Chaplain who claimed to be with Seal team 5. So now our enemies in Iraq have the apparent presence of a SEAL team to worry about, but for all you or Newsweek or anyone else really knows those unidentified "SEALS" who just happened to have brought all their fancy combat gear with them to the mess hall for this "spur of the moment" photo op could have flown in on Air Force One and right back out again with the President. The whole thing could have been staged because they know that the democrat press would be so eager to slam Trump any way they can that they'd take what they're seeing as real without question. The guy plays them like a fiddle at an Ozark hoedown.

US President Donald Trump has said he could declare a national emergency to build a US-Mexico border wall without the approval of Congress.

It came after he met senior Democrats, who refused his requests for funding.

The stand-off has seen Mr Trump withhold support for a bill to fully fund the government until he gets money for the border wall.

He said he was prepared for the partial government shutdown - now in its third week - to last years.

Around 800,000 federal workers have been without pay since 22 December.

Whatever become of the election campaign assertion that Mexico would be paying for the wall?

It's moving rapidly in the opposite direction with federal employees already paying with their livlyhoods as our infantile president throws another tantrum. When will he start to hold his breath?

What about it? Some say that renegotiating nafta means that Mexico is indeed footing the bill but be that as it may I don't think it's wise to leave our borders undefended in the meantime regardless of who ends up paying for it.

Fabricating that national emergency?

It appeared that Trump lied
