he can't help himself, he thinks he's the smartest, bestest person and they all work for him. I suppose there's a chance he might recognize the danger and listen to his attorneys if they brought their A game that day, but I honestly don't think he has the self-restraint or patience to keep it up.

But we're talking about a guy who loses attention in morning briefings to such an extent they made color maps with his name on it to get him to focus. He can't give a speech half the time without going off book. He won't shut up about himself in talks with the British Prime Minister. Mueller & Co. might readily use that.

Letter to the editor today in my paper

quote:

I had a surprising health care epiphany

Several months ago I was diagnosed with a serious illness and, although I consider myself financially comfortable and have medical insurance, I couldn’t stop from wondering if this illness was going to become too much of a burden for me and my family. Suddenly, on the way to the hospital I had a moral epiphany: Shouldn’t all human beings in this great country be entitled to some level of medical care?

Yes, I confess, I voted for Trump and want little government intrusion into my life. Please God in heaven help me; on this issue of health care did it take a life threatening disease to make me side with the Democrats?

All it took was having something bad happening to me to make me realize that maybe we should try taking care of everyone.

Here's a gem from that page

quote:

Must we use such divisive language?
I keep hearing talk about “people of color.” I understand it refers to those who are not white. But when did white stop being a color? I think referring to groups of people by color promotes divisiveness, not diversity.

Dear Editor:

Recently, the local Old Country Buffet closed. Many of my friends and I would attend after Church on Sundays, and it was always very busy. So I don't understand why it closed.

In its place, they built yet another ethnic restaurant, this time a Korean restaurant. Our neighborhood has no Asians I've ever seen, so I don't understand this?

Trump won our county by a wide margin, so why are they fighting the will of the people on this? Please bring back Old Country Buffet. I would also like to see you get some more conservative voices in your Opinions page. We Christians are being persecuted and nobody listens to us any more! I don't care to hear the opinion of some of your more "liberal" staff members, such as the man who suggested Universal Health Care. Perhaps you should check his paperwork, he doesn't seem very American to me.

Thanks,

Elaine Bigsby

The more I think about it and what Schumer said on the topic on Rachel Maddow's interview, the more I think the actual Dem strategy is to let it implode and let DACA recipients start getting deported to make everybody really sorry for voting R.

Nobody does diplomatic ties better than me, Donald Trump the president. I've got huge ties. See this red one? Huge. Yuuuuge. Hillary never wore ties. Can you imagine? Thank God she's not here she'd totally botch this. I use mine as a napkin to wipe big Mac sauce of my face. Do you have those here? Eric where's Eric? Come on up here get us a couple of big Macs for my friend here. What you say your name was? Which country is that from? Do they have Mc Donald's there? It was named after me. The president. Can you believe it?

You might be right, but I think there's an important caveat- The Democrats don't have any good options.

https://twitter.com/Popi2u/status/955920578405421056

The House Republicans, especially the Freedom Caucus, are rejecting any DACA agreement in thrall to their natavist base. The Democrats don't have the votes in the House, and Senate Democrats can only do so much because they also lack the votes in their chamber as well. You'd think Republicans, especially those with a pro-business, libertarian bent or ties to the Chamber of Commerce or the Cato Institute, would want cheap labor or to encourage skilled immigrants; or failing that recognize the sense of supporting something that has 87% support among Americans, or even just out of some simple morality (they were kids when they were brought here, what kind of person are you if in favor of abandoning children?)

But the Republicans taught their base that any action on immigration is "amnesty" and their racist, xenophobic base would be outraged, and they might lose votes so nothing gets done.

"Negotiators have already agreed to a massive boost to the Pentagon’s budget. While the figures are still in flux, multiple sources say Congress would raise military spending by at least $70 billion above the caps for fiscal 2018 and $80 billion in fiscal 2019...That huge increase, much more than the White House’s most recent budget request, would deliver assurance to the GOP’s long-suffering defense hawks who have grudgingly voted for four short-term funding bills this fiscal year alone."

Ah. The long-suffering defense hawks.

Dav-ohse. Wow, this is a great place, great time. Beautiful city you have here, did you know that? I'm here today to let everyone know just how spectacular America is doing, really great stuff going on there. Here, too, with me here.

Lots of skiing, and I suppose in a way you could say I'm skiing across the US. Making great mountains of wealth from the stock market, over 8 trillion dollars added to the US. Great. Wow, that's all most can say. Nobody's ever done this, added wealth like that. 400 million jobs added. Less homeless blacks than ever before. Whites too, but.... that's not quite... I mean. Obviously one is not the same as the other.

Someone asked about the shooting in..... Ala..Ken.... yes, it is Kentucky. Awful stuff, terrible stuff. So many lost lives and our thoughts and prayers are with them. Moving on, jobs are back. We're hoping to get those injured kids in a coal mine soon, with a shovel in their hand. Clean coal, beautiful stuff!
