Do they really think everyone is that stupid?

She has since, today, walked it back in a predictably silly way that makes, perhaps, even less sense

That interview made me want to put my head through a wall (or some light fencing upgraded with new technology). She says that nobody talks about HRC literally 34 seconds after she brings up HRC and how they beat her. I will give them this, everyone associated with Adolf is a master at gaslighting.

ND Representative Kevin Cramer is not running for US Senate against Sen. Heitkamp

If I live in the governor's mansion, I can't have a sex party in my home?

Sex parties are good. Blackmail is bad. Tying a person's hands together can be very good but only if it is consensual. If not consensual then it is very bad.

So many rules......

Who knew that sex party morality could be so complicated

The Trump administration is really improving our perception on a world stage

This whole administration is just a bunch of lies being repeated over and over again. I guess if you keep repeating those same lies some people are going to believe them.

Myself, I don't think DJT was born in the U.S..........maybe that one can get some traction

Quinnipiac just released a new generic Congressional ballot, Democrats are +17

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account
“House votes on controversial FISA ACT today.” This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredited and phony Dossier, to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?
4:33 AM - 11 Jan 2018

Not that it matters to our Liar in Chief but hasn't this already been proven to be untrue?

there's no proof of surveillance or abuse, no

in any event, would've been nice to see it fail and for a better bill to be crafted. oh well

That is some serious crazy. Hoekstra put that conspiracy theory stuff out there (same stuff he denied as fake news in interview #1, then to have the reporter play it for him), nad refuses to talk about it, at all. They even gave him an out to walk it back.

In the TL/DR category, Hoekstra was asked the same question in various ways by all the reporters. Why did you say this, which politician was set on fire, where are these 'no-go' zones, etc., of which he refused to answer.

yeah, what a show; they've been sitting on cash for years and years and finally decide to use a little of it (and it was previously announced) so they can ensure they keep their ridiculous new tax breaks

Reading his thread on the bonuses (which was threaded in the tweet you linked) is nuts. You had to work there 20 years, and the average bonus is $190.

when the revolts come, the waltons will be among the first on the firing line.

Don't worry, DJT will call out the troops and the crazy militias to quell the unrest.

Durbin negotiated a deal with Graham/Flake/Gardener to provide a pathway for DACA recipients and provide temp status to their parents in exchange for a few VISA slots and more money for technology for the border. We'll see if it holds.

NOPE

Durbin and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were told during a Thursday meeting with President Trump at the White House that he was not ready to sign onto the bill.

"We were hoping for that, but the president is not prepared to do that at this moment," Durbin said when asked if they wanted the president's support before they moved forward with their agreement.

So much for 'give me a deal and I'll sign it'. That was like a day or two ago, so you can excuse it. I am sure the tower of babel will release its horde to Trump-splain what he meant when he gave clear instruction, not that he remembers.

He wanted, and the proposal has:

1. legalization for DACA recipients known as Dreamers
2. a border security package
3. changes to the State Department's diversity visa lottery program
4. changes tofamily-based immigration policies.

Perhaps a hold up is that he wants it to say 'chain migration', and he wants it to not have any reference to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. Because, Obama.

Marc Short, the White House's director of legislative affairs, said that the president has not signed onto the agreement and that there is a "long ways to go."
