No, no, no. He is in a Moronic temple and he is the Supreme leader.


Sorry to keep harping on the DeVos catastrophe from last evening but here is another gem for anyone who missed it:

MURPHY: Do you think guns have any place in or around schools?

DEVOS: That is best left to locales and states to decide. If the underlying question is—

MURPHY: You can't say definitively today that guns shouldn't be in schools?

DEVOS: I will refer back to [Wyoming] Sen. [Mike] Enzi and the school he was talking about in Wyoming. I think probably there, I would imagine that there is probably a gun in the schools to protect from potential grizzlies.

MURPHY: If President Trump moves forward with his plan to ban gun-free school zones, will you support that?

DEVOS: I will support what the president-elect does. If the question is around gun violence and the results of that, please know that my heart bleeds and is broken for those families that have lost any individual due to gun violence.

MURPHY: I look forward to working with you, but I also look forward to you coming to Connecticut to talk about the role of guns in schools.

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

not a single flag on his lapel, nor is he wearing a wedding ring. Where is the faux outrage?

some guy was having a meeting about the use of drone surveillance by the lapd.

In a bizarre bit of political theater, Khan’s news conference was briefly delayed by half a dozen Trump supporters who began screaming “America First!” as he tried to speak. The group, whose members were attempting to counteract a nearby pro-immigrant event, stood their ground for about 15 minutes before realizing they were at the wrong event. Some then apologized and walked away.

The chances that Trump's presidency is a success are so low that high level Republicans with future aspirations should just oppose him and plan for 2020. I'm pretty sure he's getting primaried.

It starts Monday. He said he's starting Monday. Gotta have your weekends.

It'd be hilarious if he just dropped everything at 5 pm on Friday and left for New York. Would probably be the high point of his presidency (excluding when he loses/leaves).
