You're the only non-rightie who responds to YeahBaby. Please stop. Those of us who have him blocked are forced to see his posts when you quote them. ;)


Second!

BTW, America, last I checked (abt 5 min ago) is not a monarchy. The President is a temp employee hired on a trial basis, and may see their contract extended once. He's not the boss.

The Vice president is as relevant as a pitcher of warm spit.
Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER

More fake news, never believe the polls:

Trump More Popular than Obama at This Point in Presidency
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Yep. Definitely fake news. Let me guess, Rasmussen?

Popularity? With everyone eating Tide pods and running amuck with hangman's nooses if a man gives a woman a wolf whistle, popularity is not in any way desired.

Paraphrasing a recent George Will column:
All news is economic news. All economic news is bad, especially good economic news.
All news is economic news, because everything affects the economy, or reveals attitudes or behaviors that soon will affect it. And all economic news is bad — especially good economic news, because it gives rise to bad behavior.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

The big BIG question in 1973 was, what
did Nixon know and when did he know it.
With the current crimes being uncovered
almost hourly, that question is being asked
about Obama everywhere I look. This thing
makes Watergate look like kiddie time 101..
That's what happens when you're convinced
an election is a sure thing, you take stupid
chances and make moronic mistakes.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Story #1 yet another resignation due to allegations of abuse

Story #2 the staff of the administration tries to strictly control the information shown to the president.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/02/07/politics/rob-porter-white-house-who-knew/index.html

It's pretty sad when the chief of staff's main job is one of containment.


I'm really starting to wonder about John Kelly
My 1st impression. A sane level headed military leader in the WH
then
He flat out lied about Frederica S. Wilson's speech
Calling some dreamers lazy
Knew about Porter but did nothing. WTF. Unable to get security clearance should be raising alarm bells. This is the highest level of govt.
This guy maybe worse the Trump

I think the stress of working for Trump is getting to him, and his morals.

Morals? At that level? Morals exist when the press goes after you but not before.
