OOPS! tRump=THE MOST DISGUSTING & HATED POS IN THE WORLD; Mike Pence Expected Applause When He Mentioned Trump in Munich. He Got Silence Instead. By DANIEL POLITI FEB 17, 20195:24 PM slate.com Vice President Michael Pence gives a speech during the 55th Munich Security Conference (MSC) on February 16, 2019 in Munich, Germany. Alexandra Beier/Getty Images Vice President Mike Pence left room for applause. But no one clapped. At a security conference in Munich on Saturday, Pence mentioned President Donald Trump, noting he was there “on behalf of a champion of freedom and of a strong national defense.” The vice president went on: “I bring greetings from the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump.” Pence then paused for applause but no one in the room clapped. After what seem like a very long five seconds, Pence continues with his speech. Axios ?@axios Addressing U.S. allies at the Munich Security Conference, Mike Pence is met with silence as he tells the audience: "I bring greetings from the 45th president of the United States of America, President Donald Trump." 12.8K 7:48 AM - Feb 16, 2019 7,631 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy In a copy of Pence’s prepared remarks that were published on the White House’s website, there is parenthetical note of “applause” after those words. The prepared remarks also mention “applause” after Pence introduces Sen. Lindsey Graham, which he did receive. The vice president was also supposed to introduce House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (and wait for her applause) but he ended up skipping that introduction. The silence when Trump’s name was uttered was partly a reflection of how the conference in Munich put on display just how divided Europe is from Washington under Trump. “No one any longer believes that Trump cares about the views or interests of the allies,” a senior German official told the New York Times. “It’s broken.”

OOPS! Woman who called Michelle Obama an 'ape' defrauded FEMA of $18K "The flood was a natural disaster," U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart said in a statement. "Stealing from FEMA is a manmade disaster." nbcnews.com Debris stacks up at the Old White Course at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in June 2016.Steve Helber / AP file Feb. 17, 2019, 4:16 PM MST By Janelle Griffith The West Virginia woman who made national headlines in 2016 when she was placed on leave from a county development organization over a demeaning Facebook post about then-first lady Michelle Obama has now pleaded guilty to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency out of thousands of dollars of disaster benefits. Pamela Taylor, 57, admitted on Tuesday that she falsely registered for more than $18,000 in FEMA disaster benefits after historic flooding in Clay County, West Virginia, in June 2016, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement. Those floods killed 23 people. Taylor claimed that her primary residence was damaged in the flood and that she was staying in a rental property, the prosecutor's office said. Her home was not damaged, however, and she still lived there. "The flood was a natural disaster," U.S. Attorney Mike Stuart said in the statement. "Stealing from FEMA is a manmade disaster." In her plea agreement, Taylor agreed to pay restitution of $18,149.04.
