Up is down and down is up.


According to Trump we can no longer trust the FBI and the Justice Department.
(So much for the party of law and order...and we will overlook the fact that it is his Justice Department that he is wanting to get rid of right now...He nominated Sessions and Rosenstein to their Positions...both are Republicans...and the Special Prosecutor is also a Well known Republican...yet not to be trusted according to Trump.)

Our Friends are our Enemies, and our Enemies are our Friends...
But our Allies and Friends are now suspect, and Putin is our friend and says he didn't hack our
elections, but he said it very strongly, so Trump believes him....until he didn't....until he did again....So Putin is more believable than our own Intelligence Community now, in this crazy
upside down world we live.



Trump wants us to believe that you can trust only him.
(Even though he faced over 3, 500 lawsuits- link and he lies at an unprecedented rate -Link
and his Administration has been named the Sinkhole of Sleaze by the Chicago Tribune-Link)


He tries to undermine our Free Press and the First Amendment by attacking the News Media, because they report on the things that he does and the things that he says. (I guess Truth hurts).


But that's okay...because Trump tells us that we shouldn't believe the things that we see or hear.
(Well, I guess denial of reality works for some people -Down is up, and all that).


If this is all good for you...then you have drank too much of the Orange Kool-aid and need help immediately. Our Republic is facing attack, and our Democracy is at stake. Wake Up,
and come back down to ground....forget your party for five minutes, your Country needs you.

Maybe you haven't heard of another "appropriate governmental authority" called congress and their oversight responsibility.
Lets get after it !!!

Exactly. The Criminal in Chief wants us to believe they are the corrupt ones....and he is the only one who can save us.

Since Jan. 20, 2017, Americans have seen an endless torrent of corruption beyond anything previously imagined. No president has ever had a surer instinct than Donald Trump for finding and empowering scam artists, spongers and thugs.

As a candidate, he promised, “I'll choose the best people for my administration.” Maybe he inadvertently omitted the word “not.” Looking for the best people in Trump’s circle would be like looking for icebergs in the Everglades.

Three Trump associates — Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos and Rick Gates — have pleaded guilty to charges of lying to investigators. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was brought down by his habit of using private jets and military planes for travel. EPA chief Scott Pruitt resigned over a raft of shameless ethical offenses.

Trump’s first staff secretary, Rob Porter, and his first nominee for labor secretary, Andrew Puzder, withdrew after revelations that their ex-wives had accused them of violent abuse. But this is a president, keep in mind, whose first wife accused him of rape.

The trial of his former campaign manager has provided more evidence of Trump’s sure instinct for compulsive shysters. Paul Manafort was indicted for allegedly laundering millions of dollars in income and evading taxes. Gates, Manafort’s trusted aide and Trump’s deputy campaign chairman, testified this week that he helped Manafort commit those.

You could hardly surround yourself with so many disreputable figures as the president has unless you opened a halfway house for felons. But his preference for the shady sort is what you’d expect of someone whose business career has been a chronicle of bankruptcy, bullying and deceit.


After vowing never to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump University students who said they had been scammed, he agreed to pay $25 million to bring it to an end. His lawyer Michael Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 not to share her story of having sex with Trump. Cohen is under investigation on an array of possible crimes.
Flying under this cluttered radar is Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who just settled one of a string of lawsuits by business associates charging that he stole from them. Forbes magazine found that “these allegations — which sparked lawsuits, reimbursements and an SEC fine — come to more than $120 million. If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history.”


the entire story can be read here at this link:

Yeah, the Con Man is the good guy...Law Enforcement is the bad guy.
You all really believe this, in your heart of hearts? Then, I have a bridge that I'd like to sell you.

Right. His post stated "Judicial Watch or appropriate governmental authorities." The only person confused/hysterical seemed to be the poster you replied to

Donald Trump's tax returns aren't considered public record and he's under no obligation to show his private tax returns to anyone, FBI text messages sent between agents on gov. issued phones are considered public record and subject to a FOIA request.

Agreed. How stupid do you have to be to continue to buy into Trump’s idiotic comments. It’s more of an indictment of the stupidity of Americans than anything else. If it’s impact was limited to the US I’d laugh it off as morons being morons.

I really don't pay much attention to what a politician says since most of them are all talk and no action.

Trump is the exception and the action figure that has been knocking the ball out of the park daily for over a year and a half.
