Trump just tweeted the Kentucky Ford plant is staying in the US because of him, every news article I found about Ford moving out of the country is about a Michigan plant, is he really that deceptive or am I missing something?

That Tim Ryan clip on Maddow just now was pretty good. In regards to Donald he said �I don�t mean to be graphic, but this guy to our friends in the trades � to our steelworkers who he�s been treating unfairly, very unfairly � he will, he will gut you and he will walk over your cold dead body and he won�t even flinch.� He seems suitably unhinged to run in 2020.

Hahaha, look at this piece of poo poo AP piece on Flynn that most of the smaller papers and news sites are using as their 'who is this guy who Trump's just appointed' explanation for unfamiliar readers:

AP's national security writer, no less posted:

Flynn's Reputation: Astute Intelligence Pro, Straight Talker
WASHINGTON (AP) � Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the man Donald Trump has asked to be his national security adviser, built a reputation in the Army as an astute intelligence professional and a straight talker.

What set Flynn apart after he shed his uniform in 2014 was the blistering public criticism he quickly leveled at the White House and Pentagon, taking issue with a wide range of national security policies, including the administration's approach to fighting the Islamic State group and, more generally, its handling of global affairs.

In recent public comments, including his fiery address at the Republican National Convention, Flynn has emphasized his view that the threat posed by IS requires a more aggressive U.S. military, as well as his belief that Washington should work more closely with Moscow. Flynn is a champion of other foreign policy themes Trump pushed during the campaign, including renegotiating the Iran nuclear deal.

This alignment of views, coupled with his outspokenness, could make Flynn a particularly useful ally to Trump and counterweight to those senior military officers who have been leery of deeper U.S. involvement in the Middle East as well as those convinced that Russia's aggression in Ukraine demands a harsher U.S. response.

Flynn's military experience might have made him seem like a natural choice to lead the Pentagon. But without a waiver from Congress, he is not eligible to be secretary of defense because federal law says "a person may not be appointed as secretary of defense within seven years after relief from active duty as a commissioned officer." Flynn retired from the Army after two turbulent years as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's top spy agency.

As Trump's national security adviser he would not require Senate confirmation.

Flynn, who turns 58 in December, is a native of Middletown, Rhode Island. He graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 1981 with a degree in management science and was commissioned a second lieutenant in military intelligence. He held various positions in military intelligence throughout his career, including director of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and intelligence chief for the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

According to a biography published by the DIA during his time as its director, Flynn's academic credentials include three graduate degrees: a master's in telecommunications from Golden Gate University; a master's in military arts and sciences from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; and a master's in national security and strategic studies from the U.S. Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island.

With his public and fervent support for Trump, highlighted by his July convention appearance, Flynn challenged the military's apolitical traditions. He was not alone in that role. John Allen, a retired Marine general, spoke at the Democratic National Convention as a Clinton supporter. Their former colleague, retired Gen. Martin Dempsey, wrote in The Washington Post that Flynn and Allen were wrong to have participated as they did.

"The military is not a political prize," Dempsey wrote. "The American people should not wonder where their military leaders draw the line between military advice and political preference."

Flynn would not be the first retired general to be asked to serve as part of a president's national security team. Obama appointed retired Army Gen. David Petraeus as CIA director in 2011.

Colin Powell, who had served as chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff at the pinnacle of his Army career, became secretary of state during President George W. Bush's first term. He also served as national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan from 1987 to 1989 while retaining his Army commission as a lieutenant general.

Retired Marine Gen. James Jones, a former commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Europe, served as Obama's first national security adviser.

But seriously guys, the media's going to realize the mistakes they made during the campaign and hold Trump and his collection of monsters properly to account now, really they are. For gently caress's sake.
