The ROAR of the crowd when David Letterman announced Barack Obama on his new show was amazing.

It's finally on Netflix.

Letterman announces Obama and the audience stands up and ROARS and CHEERS.

I know you've all been shouldering a sense of what we no longer have.

Watch this and you'll feel it all over again.

I've just started watching it, so I have no details to share yet.

Calling Paul Ryan a gutless prick is like saying the Easter Bunny leaves a trail of raisins

Paul Ryan is not a gutless prick because he failed to condemn Trump for his "shithole" remark.

He's a gutless prick because he's a gutless prick. This isn't a new development.

Nothing to see here, folks...move along.

Fox host, regarding repeating Trump's "shithole" remarks: "I mean, it makes our country look bad"



Appearing on Fox News’ Outnumbered, occasional host Rachel Campos-Duffy said she was unhappy with Donald Trump’s choice of words with Congressional leaders — calling foreign countries “sh*tholes” — but complained that the lawmakers who leaked the president’s comments were the real problem.

“He was talking about the countries being not so great,” Campos-Duffy explained to her co-hosts without uttering the word. “First of all, I don’t agree with this term. I’m glad Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) put that [written condemnation] out and I would too. Sometimes the best immigrants come from those kind of countries.”

“That said, I still have a problem with people in a private meeting going out and saying what the president said, when they know, like right now, I just heard that the Panamanian ambassador just quit over this,” the wife of Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI) continued.

“I mean, it makes our country look bad,” she elaborated. “I think the Democrats, in this case, should have used some discretion. And even if he did say something like that, not repeat it for the benefit of the country.”

Trump: "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians...Probably should record future meetings!"

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!

Trump: "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used."

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump

The so-called bipartisan DACA deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards. Wall was not properly funded, Chain & Lottery were made worse and USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime.....

....countries which are doing badly. I want a merit based system of immigration and people who will help take our country to the next level. I want safety and security for our people. I want to stop the massive inflow of drugs. I want to fund our military, not do a Dem defund....

....Because of the Democrats not being interested in life and safety, DACA has now taken a big step backwards. The Dems will threaten “shutdown,” but what they are really doing is shutting down our military, at a time we need it most. Get smart, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!

Sadly, Democrats want to stop paying our troops and government workers in order to give a sweetheart deal, not a fair deal, for DACA. Take care of our Military, and our Country, FIRST!

"Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!

i've been trying like hell to figure out Bannon's endgame.

1). Lands in White House, "President Bannon"

2). Squeezed out of White House

3). Back at Breitbart

4). Calls Don Jr. traitorous

5). Cut off by Mercers

6). Apologizes to Trump, says Don Jr. makes Baby Jesus look like a poseur

7). "Resigns" at Breitbart

8). Lawyers up and is rumored to be "cooperating" with Mueller investigation

Did I miss anything?

R.I.P. Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke

"Ace of Spades" featuring Eddie, from the immortal "No Sleep Till Hammersmith" live album:



Guitarist 'Fast' Eddie Clarke – the last surviving member of Motorhead's first classic lineup – has died at age 67 after a battle with pneumonia.

Clarke joined Motorhead in 1976 and, with bassist and singer Lemmy Kilmister and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, performed on the band's first five studio albums. Taylor died in November 2015; the following month, Kilmister died just days after his 70th birthday.

"We are devastated to pass on the news we only just heard ourselves earlier tonight ... Edward Allan Clarke – or as we all know and love him Fast Eddie Clarke – passed away peacefully yesterday," a representative posted on Motorhead's official Facebook page. "Ted Carroll (who formed Chiswick Records) made the sad announcement via his FB page, having heard from Doug Smith that Fast Eddie passed peacefully in hospital where he was being treated for pneumonia."

Born on Oct. 5, 1950 in London, Clarke co-founded Motorhead after appearing in a series of local bands, including the Bitter End and Continuous Performance. He was actually working on a houseboat when he met Taylor, who had recently joined Motorhead. Together with Kilmister, they shaped the band's sound and legacy through the release of a 1977 self-titled debut, 1979's Overkill and Bomber, 1980's Ace of Spades and 1981's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. Clarke also stepped forward on duet vocals with Lemmy for songs like "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" and "I'm Your Witchdoctor," before the lineup suddenly broke apart over the band's direction during the Iron Fist era.

"Russia & the world is laughing at the stupidity they are witnessing"

Donald J. Trump? Verified account @realDonaldTrump

The fact that Sneaky Dianne Feinstein, who has on numerous occasions stated that collusion between Trump/Russia has not been found, would release testimony in such an underhanded and possibly illegal way, totally without authorization, is a disgrace. Must have tough Primary!

The single greatest Witch Hunt in American history continues. There was no collusion, everybody including the Dems knows there was no collusion, & yet on and on it goes. Russia & the world is laughing at the stupidity they are witnessing. Republicans should finally take control!
