Story making the rounds on conservative news and social media that democrats refused to stand and clap for the widow at the speech. No solid confirmation yet but snopes believes it's a reused image taken from earlier in the address: http://www.snopes.com/democrats-stand-seal-widow/

Not trying to get into the debate about her being there, just sometimes I forget how low people will go to push their fake narrative about the other party

Don't know whether or not there is any collision with Russia, but its obvious that they are actively and aggressively conducting IO on the US. Much of that is lost in the whole "Russia didn't lose the election for the dems" retort and the fact that IO isn't really known outside the military. They're so far ahead of us in this fight and they're very proficient as seen in Ukraine and else where. Good read on it, haven't seen many outlets talk about IO: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/03/russia-heats-up-its-infowar-with-the-west.html

When Trump fires all his staff/they all quit, he will just start bringing in the random crazies throughout the country who still support him. He could hold a contest on twitter or even a reality show where they compete to get a job. He can claim that was the plan all along; drain the swamp by bringing in regular Joes like you and me. Catch phrase "your hired" as a fun little play on his old classic. It'll be like watching the experience-less governing of the tea party and, well, his current administration, but worse. They can pump out all sorts of EOs, investigations into pizzerias, and finally get to work on locking up crooked Clinton and the press. Great ratings though. The best ratings.

Long time conservative dream finally achieved. But has there been a single state where this is already a thing, where the money saved outweighs the cost to implement the program? Guess it doesn't matter though so long as it lets them continue to perceive all poors and minorities as lazy addicts and welfare queens.

Russia did a good job; seems like all their objectives are being hit. The fact that, even as this all comes to light, people are still yelling "emails! Benghazi!" is likely something they predicted. No need to be worried about getting caught when you can rely on the conspiracy theorists to turn everything back on those drat socialist leebrals. They've done their homework, they know how dysfunctional our media and politics are.

Trump supporters don't blame him for bill failure. Here are some of the quotes that are pretty much standard fare for these deluded people time and time again, across numerous articles and interviews:

"He isn’t one to give up, or he wouldn’t be a billionaire.”

But he’s not giving up on the president: “My expectations are that they would repeal it. That’s what he said. That’s what he ran on. That’s what I believe his intentions are.”

“No matter what happens, the media tries to side it one way,” she said. “They don’t give a clear picture of what’s going on.”

“I really don’t think people are trying to help Trump. We need to unify,” she said. “We need to give him a chance.”

“It’s going to be rough,” he said, “but I think eventually the new president will be the best we’ve ever had.”

Fitting this pops up on the same page as minimum wage increase. NC just voted to increase and I have one friend who is a NC resident who was mad, not because of the potential rise in costs for goods, but because "lazy fast food workers are making 15 an hour now!"
