Ok there's so many things wrong with this article, mainly how many times he's golfed while the WH is in crisis. But the last paragraph, the quote has me at a loss. Seriously. I know 5 year olds that speak better English than that. See Dick. See Dick run. See Jane. See Jane run very, very fast. Jane runs faster than Dick. Dick is pissed.
The White House did not comment on what Trump was doing at his property, but reporters saw golf clubs being unloaded from the motorcade after the President's arrival back to the White House. This is the 16th weekend of Trump's presidency in which he's visited a property that bears his name, and the 26th day of his presidency he has spent at a Trump golf property. According to the press pool reports, the trio spent about 4½ hours at the golf club. Peyton Manning was set to receive the Lincoln medal at Ford's Theatre in Washington on Sunday night, along with American businessman Ronald Perelman. The medal is given to a person who "exemplifies the lasting legacy and mettle of character embodied by the most beloved president in our nation's history, President Abraham Lincoln," according to poll reports. In an interview with CBS in January 2016, Trump called Manning a "very good guy," when picking Manning's then-team, the Denver Broncos, to win the Super Bowl.
"I very much have always liked Peyton Manning. He is a very good guy. I know him. And he is a very, very good guy. So, I have to go with the person I know and I like. ... But I will stick with Peyton, because he is a very good guy

Monday Morning rant...
"People, the lawyers and the courts can call it whatever they want, but I am calling it what we need and what it is, a TRAVEL BAN!"
"The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C."
"The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court - & seek much tougher version!"
"In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the U.S. in order to help keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political!"

.@foxandfriends Dems are taking forever to approve my people, including Ambassadors. They are nothing but OBSTRUCTIONISTS! Want approvals.
Well first you have to nominate someone to be approved. Rumor has it that you can't find very many willing to serve in your administration. Wonder why?

"Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!"
What a petty petty little man.

From Politico....
"Trump blindsided his NatSec team by removing Article 5 pledge from NATO speech, apparently deleting it himself politi.co/2sHFczV @sbg1"
Gee I wonder if this is one of the reasons president tiny hands can't find many takers to serve in his administration.

"In any event we are EXTREME VETTING people coming into the U.S. in order to help keep our country safe. The courts are slow and political!" And this is why I am not vacationing in the US anytime soon. This is wrong to ban people based on their country of birth and their religion. As long as this is happening America will continue to lose tourist revenue. I refuse to walk through the airport protected by the colour of my skin, the god I worship and the country of my birth while other good people are refused entry or detained or interrogated for hours because they don't look like President Trump.

I refuse to walk through the airport protected by the colour of my skin, the god I worship and the country of my birth while other good people are refused entry or detained or interrogated for hours because they don't look like President Trump. My DH and I spent part of the weekend debating whether we want to incur the cost (and more, other logistics including a lot of time on my part) for me to seek a US visa. He is theoretically on a waiver, bur those are shifting sands too. I am not paying a six-figure cruise fee and relying on travel insurance to protect me against DT's latest mood swing! I said No. He said we should try. That was on the weekend and now this. I am the right colour, have a little money to burn but do I really want to try and get rejected? Do I really want to succeed? As of right now I am not sure. I am going to China though. They may not be my moral ideal but they are straight. Likewise Russia. What you see is what you get. Maybe having Russian stamps in my passport will help me get a visa should I change my mind? ETA: maybe a fluffy 50 something retired legal eagle from Africa who consorted with the known terrorist, Nelson Mandela, will not pass EXTREME VETTING!

From ABC News....
"UPDATE: At least 5 people killed in workplace shooting near Orlando; suspect was fired in April; he has since killed himself, police say."
Besides the 5 killed, 7 were injured. The shooter had a gun and knife. No evidence the knife was used.
Its this sort of tragic event that presents the greatest risk to the American People. Someone gets pissed and wants to show them. And they use the favorite "I'll show them" weapon of choice. A gun.
Drip drip drip.

There is no question there are some in this country that think the only solution to a problem is whipping out a gun. But at the same token guns do have a place in protecting the masses. Expecting police officers to stop terrorists with nothing more than baton is just dumb in the world we live in today. This coming from someone who doesn't like guns. Which just goes and shows just how complex of an issue this is.

Which just goes and shows just how complex of an issue this is. And one policemen being suddenly attacked by three terrorist that had 12 inch bladed knives each, isn't going to give you much chance in getting your gun out either or lessen the risk of him being overpowered by the three terrorists with that gun getting into the wrong hands. Both the policemen and many many more would have died if that had happened and it's highly likely it would have.

trump's tweets .... "We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse" "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!" "Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!" Look you jerk face it wasn't a Muslim, a truck, or a knife that killed 20 6 year olds at Sandy Hook or 9 black people in their church. Typical of him....he's twisted Sadiq Khan words....what Mr Khan said was : And unlike the US we or our children are not used to seeing police walk around London armed but Trump doesn't understand that freedom we've enjoyed here.It's totally alien to our way of life and it's understandable that it's difficult for many older and certainly children to not be alarmed to see a policeman carrying a gun walking the streets of London. He really and truly makes me want to vomit. I hope he never sets foot in this country. I was mortified when I saw these tweets this morning. Please accept sincere apologies from those of us in the US who actually have a heart.

From George Conway as in KellyAnne's husband...
"These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won't help OSG get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad."
In response to this tweet...
"The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C."
Awkward....

From Jon Favreau former Obama speech writer... "It's hard to read Trump's tweets this morning and not think that we're one domestic attack away from the most dangerous version of this guy" Can't argue with that... This is one of those statements that continues to soak into your brain long after reading it.

It may the most extensive criminal case brought in US History. As such it is immense - w/jurisdictions from Senate, House, DOJ, NY AG and the intelligence communities all (I hope) working together. It is not going to happen quickly. But Comey and NSA's Rogers testifying this week, make this week far more than "meh" - IMO.
