I don't know who this guy is but I agree with what he said.
From Steve Marmel...
"Pence: Just as bad. He may not be as insane and/or mentally impaired. But he is, make no mistake, evil. shareblue.com/as-pence-plays… via @owillis"
He was responding to a story " As Pence plays President-in-waiting, he's hiding private emails in Indiana". Ah those .emails

Dear President Trump, Their names were Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and Ricky John Best. One was a recent college graduate. The other was an army veteran and father of four. I wish we would hear you say these names, or even just tweet them. They were brave Americans who died at the hands of someone who, when all the facts are collected, we may have every right to call a terrorist. A third brave man, Micah David-Cole Fletcher, was wounded in the knife attack. This story may not neatly fit into a narrative you pushed on the campaign trail and that has followed you into the White House. They were not killed by an undocumented immigrant or a "radical Islamic terrorist." They were killed in an act of civic love, facing down a man allegedly spewing hate speech directed at two teenage girls, one of whom was wearing a hijab. That man seems to have a public record of "extremist ideology" - a term issued by the Portland Police Bureau. This "extremism" may be of a different type than gets most of your attention, or even the attention in the press. But that doesn't make it any less serious, or deadly. And this kind of "extremism" is on the rise, especially in the wake of your political ascendency. Most people who study these sorts of things do not think that is a coincidence. I do not blame you directly for this incident. Nor do I think other people should. But what a President says, who he has around him, and the tone he sets can set the tone for the nation at large. Perhaps Portland, Oregon is off your radar. It is, after all, a rather liberal place. It's even a "sanctuary city." But it is still an American city. And you are its President. Two Americans have died leaving family and friends behind. They are mourned by millions more who are also deeply worried about what might come next. I hope you can find it worthy of your time to take notice. Love his calm, rational way of expressing himself.

Tuesday's offerings...
"Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News."
"The U.S. Senate should switch to 51 votes, immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy. Dems would do it, no doubt!"
This one he retweeted from Fox News...
"Jared Kushner didn't suggest Russian communications channel in meeting, source says"
Oh well if Fox News says that then it must be true.....
Such a petty petty little man.

The following statement is from the White House in response to a Washington Post article on how trump treats people.
“President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him,” the statement from White House spokeswoman Hope Hicks reads. “He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000. He has built great relationships throughout his life and treats everyone with respect. He is brilliant with a great sense of humor … and an amazing ability to make people feel special and aspire to be more than even they thought possible.”
The statement came in response to a Washington Post report on Trump’s tendency of attacking his own staff with insults. The Post noted that the flagrant use of complimentary adjectives to heap praise upon her boss weren’t what stood out. Rather, the abrupt rejection of everything Trump once stood for stuck them as strange."
Boy delusional alternative facts seem to run rampant in the current White House.

Funny, everyone who has met him says otherwise. So I guess they are all lying or jealous. Mocking a disabled reporter and bagging on women including his opponent and a debate moderator, screams of treating everyone with respect.

From Sean Spicer at the press conference...
"Press Sec. on Pres. Trump's relationship with Merkel: “The relationship…he would describe as fairly unbelievable. They get along very well”
Someone had better tell Angela Merkel and the rest of the people in Germany.

Another little gem from Spicer..
"Press Sec.: Pres. Trump "frustrated" with "fake news": "There's a perpetuation of false narratives, a use of unnamed sources over and over""
trump only gets upset about these "unnamed" sources when they aren't him.

From Politico....
"Trump’s communications director resigned as Trump considers larger personnel shakeup to confront growing scandals politi.co/2qyGLQ5"
Dear president tiny hands, the only true way to confront the scandals is to confront and eliminate the source which is you. Quit blaming other people for your words and your actions.

I guess I could go look, but it's more fun to ask you. Nope that's it. And it's causing quite a stir as our local ABC News station tweeted. "So, what do you think #Covfefe means? The internet is really trying to figure out #DonaldTrump's tweet: abc7ne.ws/2qyvJ1p."

Make "covfefe" great again!
I think he was trying to write "coverage" but just then Jared and Ivanka burst into the room and started wresting his phone out of his hands!
Hopefully he didn't have a serious medical episode. I don't believe he drinks, so it can't be drunk tweeting.

Between Spicer's press conference (I just kept thinking, "Did he really say that with a straight face?!) and covfefe, I am well entertained.

One of the first things DH asked me this morning was
"Do you know what c-o-v-f-e-f-e is?"
And I said "A new web site?, A new trendy word? Some kind of iron?" and then he told me the whole story.
And then I thought about how in the past D.T. stated that he dictated his tweets and someone else wrote them, and perhaps that's the case for some of them, but I do not believe that he dictates them all, because if anyone else made as many errors in his tweets as we see, I can't imagine he'd keep them around any longer.

This is why American Voters need to start paying attention and not practice "motivated ignorance."
I'm watching MSNBC and they showed a video of a town hall meeting for a Republican House member in North Carolina.
One person asked why was he proud of a bill that will cause 23m people to lose their insurance. He started his answer by saying for 6 1/2 years they tried to apply fixes to the ACA and I'm happy to say the crowd shouted him down by calling him a liar.

So trump replaced the original tweet about "covfete" with this one. "Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" Enjoy!" But that doesn't change the question of what he was thinking after midnight when he tweeted the first tweet and why he either didn't correct the spelling and complete whatever thought he had or just delete the tweet in the first place.

I consider that Kathy Griffin picture disgusting. Having said that maybe the First Lady shouldn't question someone's mental health considering who she is married to.
"First lady Melania Trump calls Kathy Griffin's photo "very disturbing"; "makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it."

Eh, she may know very well then what the signs of mental illness are I'm just fine with Melania calling out Kathy Griffin. A ) it was sick & vile B ) it's right in line with her chosen project C ) no matter what kind of asshat Trump is, he is still Melania's child's father and I can totally agree with her that having THAT out there about your child's father for your child to eventually see is highly disturbing. You can only shelter your kids from the net for so long.

I just don't think it's wise to question someone else's mental health when her husband/father of her child's mental health is questionable.

From trump...
"Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!"
Again the Kathy Griffin picture went too far. But leave it to trump to bring his kids in to it and make the situation worse.
Yes it would be distrubing to family members to see a picture like that. No question. Just as disturbing as it was to members of the Obama family to see a picture of President Obama hanged.
But here is where the trump family should follow what the Obama Family did and that was to ignore it. To do otherwise will invite other wackos to try and top that picture so they can see if they can get a rise out of trump because he does have thin skin. In other words "when they go low we go high".
If it's a real threat to trump and his family the Secret Service will handle it.
As to Kathy Griffin, other people, from both sides, have called her out for this. Enough so she has apologized. And even with the apology she will pay a price for this for a long time. Rightly so.
