Yes, and to a certain extent you just need to live your life. Our time here is limited and I don't know whether gnashing our virtual teeth about Trump 24/7 is an effective use of it since we are just preaching to the choir.

Vote next November, that's all we can do.

We can do so much more than just vote. The governing process needs us as active participants.

Texas district votes to fire teacher who tried to report undocumented students to Trump on Twitter

The Fort Worth teacher said she was unaware the tweets were public and thought she was sending direct messages to the president.


So she really go terminated for not understanding how twitter works, and general ignorance. She brought it on herself. story I guess she thinks that Trump would actually would read a DM.

This is pathetic. Either impeach him or don't. Some dude from CA talking about how it would be a permanent stain on Trump's record. Big fucking deal. What is he applying to college after this? With all the shit he's pulled, some slap on the wrist is going to be a difference maker? Hell, he'll wear the censure like its the Medal of Freedom. Half-measures such as this will only go to show how powerless Democrats are.

As long as whatever happens next marks the whole clan forever, except Barron who will need to live with the same.

Yes, which is why if I were Trump I just wouldn’t leave despite the election results. Nobody is going to do a thing about it.
Do you think April is too early for a Roger Dorn night?

The White House reportedly paid nearly $1 million to rent four limousines from an Irish funeral home for President Trump’s two-day visit to Ireland. It’s unclear what the fleet of limousines will be used for, but if Trump visits his hotel and golf resort in the village of Doonberg it will cost a combined total of $116,879 per mile.

This is a fine use of public funds, and you have to be sure that this is to transport his extended family on their tax payer financed royal holiday.

Warren is on MSNBC. It's been solid. From a tonal standpoint though she seems to be yelling 93 percent of the time.

The GOP chair appeared on Fox Business on Wednesday to basically moan about the way the media has covered the president’s trip to Europe.

“We are celebrating the anniversary, 75 years of D-Day,” McDaniel said. “This is the time where we should be celebrating our president, the great achievements of America, and I don’t think the American people like the constant negativity.”

Ronna Romney McDaniel, everyone. Don't forget, the 9 o'clock show is completely different from the 7 o'clock show. The funny thing is, for all their bitching about the media coverage of this trip, I think it has been generally positive. Even Jim Acosta was giving him props.

You need to start with the expectation which is to bend the knee. Anything less is unacceptable.

Don had a lot of time on his hands lately and came up with another sad/weak Nancy nickname. Nervous Nancy. That's a lousy effort.

Also thinks that Mueller made a fool of himself and had to write a letter correcting his position.

Now we know why Trump wanted to expand our military so badly:

Members of the US military will spend roughly a month painting parts of one mile of the wall along the southern border "to improve the aesthetic appearance of the wall," according to an email sent by the Department of Homeland Security to members of Congress. The section of the wall they will be painting is located in Calexico, California, according to the email from DHS, which said there "may also be an operational benefit" to painting it as "individuals appeared to have greater difficulty" scaling recently painted bollards in Nogales, Arizona.

And then to make that disrespectful announcement the day before the 75th anniversary of D-Day!?!?

In a startling political move, South Jersey Democratic power broker George Norcross III went to court Thursday seeking a restraining order against Gov. Phil Murphy and the administration to shut down the investigation of a special governor’s task force into the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

The filing by the insurance executive also sought to halt any further public hearings and to stop the task force from issuing additional subpoenas.

Why didn’t he just issue an “I’m guilty” press release? Probably much cheaper and the message stays the same.
