Things are moving along the way you’d expect. The White House is minimizing the Russian collusion news, saying…. Eh, who cares? They’re liars. Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the… Such a bad liar, it’s painful to listen to her. Kellyanne Conway responded with…. No. Don’t even start. Trump tweeted…. Trump lies...
The latest spout of Trump Crazy tweets — the ones that leave me shaking my head — leave a third of us delighted. They see Trump as a fighter. “Look at him hit back against those snobby elites!” they tell each other, as if Trump ever actually won a fair...
As part of his extensive preparations for the G-20 summit and his one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin — easily the most important meeting in his Presidency so far — Trump took the time to tweet this thoughts: Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give...
The reactions to Trump’s latest… thing — tweet, snot-projectile, whatever — are about par for this terrible course. First, though, since Trump is working so hard to distract us, let me recapitulate with some of the things Trump doesn’t want us thinking about: After the CBO reported that the Senate...
Trump’s tweets are making the rounds: I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came.. – Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017 …to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me....
Trump, who still shrilly insists there was no Russian hacking, issued a string of tweets about the Washington Post detailed, extensive article about that hacking. In his latest tweets, Trump said– Yeah, I still don’t care. Trump remains a compulsive liar; nothing he says has weight or bearing. That makes...
Today, Senate Republicans released their draft of Trumpcare. You remember, the one they were going to rewrite from scratch? It’s like the kids who did their homework on the bus into school. Republicans changed a couple of words from the House version, cut even more money from the poor and...
Who here would be surprised and shocked — shocked! — that Donald Trump lied to us? Hands? Anyone? Yeah, me neither. With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2017 …whether there...
Sorry, but it’s Twitter time. There’s another fun re-tweet by Donald the POTUS: What’s happening in our country isn’t just an assault on our @POTUS @realDonaldTrump it’s an assault on the American people. #WattersWorld pic.twitter.com/SYRNEyHU26 — Joe Gooding (@joegooding) June 18, 2017 So… criticism of Trump isn’t criticism, it’s an...
It was certainly a spectacle. Very Kim Jong-Il. It is the greatest privilege of my life is to serve as vice president to the president who’s keeping his word to the American people. — Mike Pence The first cabinet meeting of the Trump administration started with each cabinet member praising...
Donald Trump campaigned as the “Law and Order” candidate. Not a big surprise, since every Republican before him positioned themselves as the same savior. And, like the Republicans that came before him, he’s shown a… unique vision of what that means in practice. So far, that’s included Trump firing all...
Republicans won their power by changing political wars into cultural conflicts. I can’t begin to tell you if it was an intentional plan or just dumb luck, but every election these days is more about winning than any actual goal I can find. People seem to buy that, anyway. There’s...
President Donald Trump speaks at press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House on June 9, 2017. (Erie News Now) Oh, Lordy. Trump still feels inadequate about his election. Again. Why can’t he act like most conservative Americans? Donny. Just go out and buy yourself some big pistol,...
Yesterday, James Comey called President Donald Trump a liar. He did this in sharp,, specific detail. He cited his contemporaneous documentation and the people he spoke to at the time. Comey was specific, detailed, and damning. Today, Trump responded to Comey’s accusations, saying everything Comey had said was a lie. ...
This is a paraphrase from Paul Ryan as reported in the Washington Post: [Rep. Paul Ryan] added: “I would just say that of course there needs to be a degree of independence between [the Department of Justice], FBI and the White House and a line of communications established. The president’s...
I’m still a little shocked at how casually the White House lies about stupid stuff. When NBC asked the White House spokeswoman about the Comey hearings, the press corps could hear every TV in the White House playing the Senate hearing. And yet deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders insisted that...
As other people are pointing out, the Trump version of “Law and Order” seems to mostly involve breaking it, and making sure nobody will stop him. Around half the U.S. Attorneys resigned, but except for two guys, Trump fired the other half outright, abruptly and without notice. It was another...
Still haven’t decided if this is just an accident, or amazingly good planning. I swear, I’m trying not to wear out “Orwellian’, but it’s hard. I’m watching Trump yank the US out of our leadership on every front he can — military, social, ecological, economic, moral, et al — all while regularly...
