Has Donald Jr. Appeared Before Any Of The Investigating Committee's Yet?.....

We heard about Manafort - but Donald Jr. seems to be laying low these days. What's up with him? When will Mueller's team raid his house?

Hey Parents - Our president - The commander-in-chief Is Putting Your Child In The Military.....

in harms way - for his own ego. Are you going to tolerate that?

Flipping Between MSNBC & CNN This Morning And It Looks Like Some Of The Talking Heads Are.....

giving Trump a pass on his comments of yesterday.

It seems like Trump has this act down pat. He makes an off the wall statement and then just sits back and listens to the talking heads make excuses for him. Then he chooses the excuse - that one of the talking heads suggested he might be doing - that makes him look good - and goes with that as to why he did something.

I don't think that he has a clue as to how he'll get out of some of the situations that his mouth gets him into - but he lets the MSM create a scenario with which he could live under and then goes with that.

It's presidenting through media analysis.

The MSM keeps making excuses for him. They keep normalizing his actions. And he just coasts along on his merry way patting himself on the back for the great job he's doing.

The Repugs love this too - because they can hide behind the normalization of Trump by the MSM.

What scares me about this situation is that he always tries to make Obama look bad for the decisions he's made during his Presidency. Trump was really critical of Obama's Red Line comment on Syria.

Trump - yesterday - drew a red line. As Trump always does what he thinks Obama should have done - will Trump make good on his 'fire and fury' comments that are essentially a Red Line that Trump used.

So - Any Statements Yet From McConnell And Ryan?......

Don't you think the leaders of Congress should weigh in on this North Korean issue and Trump's incendiary comments?

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep With One Last Post.....

Please remember in 2018 that Trump was brought to us complements of the Repugs and they are still his enablers.

I Assume That The Repug Think Tanks Are Working Thru The Night.....

to draft talking points for McConnell & Ryan and the Repugs in general to be spouted out to us in the morning.

To me the silence is deafening that we haven't already had a statement from McConnell or Ryan about this NKorean threat and Trump's 'fury and fire' comment. These have to be carefully crafted talking points because I don't think Mitch or Paul will chastise Trump for his F&F comment today.
They won't want to piss off Trump.

So What If Putin Says - You Remove The Sanctions On Us In Russia And We'll.....

get NK under control? That would be one way to solve this - especially if Putin/Russia is supporting the Kim Jong Un regime.

Do you think this is the plan? Maybe Putin and Trump dreamed this up to make both Putin/Russia and Trump look good.

Hmmmmm.....
