As with everything Trump the US does not benefit from his actions. His family or his buddies do.

A lot of people will be going down with Trump.
Yep! The FOX news (Trump TV) supporters will be in for a shock.

The fact that the WH issued an "official" statement about the Embassy speeches and deliberately omitted Jared Kushner's remarks that Hamas was to blame for those killed by Israeli soldiers is actually a violation of the law...
Someone needs to compile all those various "official" statements that omit statements they feel are damaging to their agenda and sue them...

The LAW requires the WH and EVErY government agency to maintain an ACCURATE record of statements made at PUBLIC and private events...
They are not allowed to pick and choose what they want to preserve or present as the record of what occurred...Pruitt was outed recently about his dinner with Cardinal Pell on his visit to the Vatican that was totally omitted from any publicly released agenda/timeline
That is ILLEGAL---not just shady and self-service...

There is an obvious, blatant, and self-interested hand in all these occluded remarks
Starting with not posting a public visitors log at places Trump sees people importuning him for favors--like MarALago and the White House...

The GOP have allowed itself to be corrupted by some of the sleaziest people ever to come into public notariety...

I imagine his (Flynn's) lobby business has turned toxic now that there is no privacy attached to his dealings with countries like Turkey and he has no inside connection
Plus based on Trump's about face with the Chinese phone trade deal it seems a country can get better results by cutting out the middle man...

Seems that all that "draining the swamp" business was just lies.

Mom's day, resorting to nursery rhymes. Well, it fits, since we seem to have a giant toddler, who throws tantrums and looks like he needs a time out. Night, folks..........................
Come up with something. Seriously.


The left keeps saying "just wait", but they never have anything. After 2 years you'd think they would produce something.


P.S. Thanks for the Mom's day reference, but I'm a Dad...get back to me in a couple of months.

Once again, Mueller is investigating Russian interference in our elections, who all was involved, and any crimes that surface during the investigation.

Trump is not the target.

If he's caught up in it, he has reason to worry. If not, he can give it a rest.

Regardless of what the Trump thumpers would like us to believe, the Russian business still needs to be investigated and put to rest.

Mueller has been on the case for a year come May 17.

Investigations into Benghazi, Clinton's emails lasted over twice as a long and still came up with nothing.

The Watergate investigation took several years and Nixon was pardoned before we ever found out if he was ever actually involved in burglary.

This is far more complicated, with more subjects, and far more moving pieces.

It could take two or three years before we get the answers.

The GOP will not allow the investigation to go on that long. Now they want to "audit" the spending, hoping to cut off its legs with defunding. Mueller is working at breakneck speed for that reason, imo. This latest bribe from the Chinese is so blatant, too bad that is probably outside of the special counsel's scope.
