He completely lacks any self awareness. He won’t realize anything.

It's SOP for Trump in negotiations. He just wants to create one more thing he can trade away in exchange for something he wants in negotiating with China. It's a transparent and heavy-handed technique, but it's often effective.

Gonna put this here, but Roseanne tweeted that Valerie Jarrett (former Obama advisor) was the culmination of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes having a baby. Wanda Sykes already tweeted that she’s not returning to the show. I don’t know if ABC has made any statements, but since they thought the protest episode of Blackish was too spicy but pick any episode of Roseanne as fine...

Rosanne apologized and announces she is leaving twitter. All better, right?

Ex-campaign manager: Sanders is considering running for president in 2020

He will be 79 in for the 2020 run. People mumbled that the greatest president ever might be too old when he stepped into his second term at 69. FDR died at 63.

Got anyone in their early 40s who could run?

what did Wanda think she was signing up for?

Anyway, that's my one comment on all this.

I feel more and more each day that we just got eh President we deserve, and he's here as long as he wants to be.

My only hope is that even he can read a calendar, and will note that serving two terms will not leave him nearly enough time to cash in, both personally and through his companies, on the main chance that the Presicency provides to convert the office to big bucks and unadulterated praise out in the open.

super excited for the President's response tonight at his rally

@realDonaldTrump

Thank you Roseanne, very much appreciated.

Syria is now recognizing two Georgian areas that say they are aligned with Russia, not Georgia

Trump apologist Tomi Lahren on getting water thrown at her:

When did we get to the point where we feel justified in physically attacking someone we’ve never met and don’t know — simply because we disagree with their political views? We are blessed to live in a country with freedom of speech and expression. Generations of Americans — of all races, genders and ethnicities — fought and died for our First Amendment rights. We don’t have to like or agree with one another, but freedom of speech does not give us the right to physically attack one another. It’s disheartening to see it get to this point.

Tomi, let me introduce you to Donald Trump:

In February 2016, during his campaign for president, Trump told a crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, "So I got a little notice. We have wonderful security guys. It said, ‘Mr. Trump, there may be somebody with tomatoes in the audience.’ So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Just knock the hell .... I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise."

November 2015. At a rally in Alabama, Trump said about a protester, "Get him the hell out of here, will you, please? Get him out of here. Throw him out!" The following day, calling into Fox News, Trump responded to a question about allegations that the protester had been "roughed up." The protester, Trump said, had been "so obnoxious and so loud ... maybe he should have been roughed up. Maybe he should have been roughed up. Because it was totally disgusting what he was doing."

February 2016. At a rally in Las Vegas, Trump again responded to a protester: "See, he’s smiling. See, he’s having a good time. Oh, I love the old days, you know? You know what I hate? There's a guy, totally disruptive, throwing punches. We're not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days, you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out in a stretcher, folks. Oh, it's true. … The guards are very gentle with him. He’s walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing. I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you."

March 2016. At a rally in North Carolina, Trump said, "In the good old days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough. And when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily. But today they walk in and they put their hand up and they put the wrong finger in the air at everybody. And they get away with murder, because we’ve become weak."

March 2016. At a rally in St. Louis, Trump once again addressed protesters who were being removed from the facility. "Part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long (to remove the protesters) is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right? And they're being politically correct the way they take them out. So it takes a little bit longer. And honestly, protesters they realize it -- they realize there are no consequences to protesting anymore. There used to be consequences. There are none anymore."

Went out to get my mail, and a couple of old dingbat neighbors were seething about the Roseanne cancellation. “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH?!?!”

I hate how she was fired for taking a knee

The double standard really is amazing, isn't it?

She was also dropped by her talent agency.

Someone might bring up her performance of the national anthem I think at a Padres game and seeing something like the following dumb take: "Roseanne can spit on the flag and not suffer any consequences, but she sends out one dumb tweet and her career is over."
