It's like no one in the Trump administration realizes just how many public servants take an oath "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign AND domestic."

What in the world does "laughing up their sleeves" mean?
And is he starting to do that Rush Limbaugh thing where he intentionally says "Democrat" because he refuses to say "Democratic"? First time I've noticed that (pejorative) usage from him.

Not exactly a shining light - just another shill: Huckabee said Comey committed “atrocities.” Atrocities. Words have no meaning for this bunch.

Trump attacked Colbert in Time, here is Colbert's response
It is too late for me, but I am recording it. Especially after his rant the other night.

Friday morning rant...
"Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election."
"The Fake Media is working overtime today!"
"As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!...."
"...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???"
"James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"
"When James Clapper himself, and virtually everyone else with knowledge of the witch hunt, says there is no collusion, when does it end?"
"China just agreed that the U.S. will be allowed to sell beef, and other major products, into China once again. This is REAL news!"

This is very telling right here.
Why should he be afraid of tapes leaking if he has nothing to worry about?
Trump is his own worst enemy. Maybe his WH advisors are just letting him hang himself. He is certainly doing a tremendous job at it.

Good to know that accuracy in information coming out of the White House is not possible. It feels like the general public across many countries are horrified by this man, but a significant amount of their politicians have their fingers in their ears chanting "la la la" and are pretending nothing unusual is happening in the USA at all. My mother is travelling through Europe at the moment and she says all the Americans she has met are saying how disgusted they are with Trump, yet this shit storm just keeps rolling on. I just don't understand how this is being allowed to continue and no-one seems to be challenging him.

This tweet from tiny hands....
"China just agreed that the U.S. will be allowed to sell beef, and other major products, into China once again. This is REAL news!"
Prompted this response from Steven Rattner who worked in the Obama Administration.
"The other "REAL news" is that this was initiated by the Obama Administration in September."

I just don't understand how this is being allowed to continue and no-one seems to be challenging him. There are lots of grassroots and non-profit legal organizations challenging him. The US press is all over him. Even our court system is challenging him (example: travel ban). If you’re referring to private citizens, there are protests everywhere he goes. It’s going to take a long time. If you’re referring to the Republican party, they won’t challenge him because they need him to sign their bills and they don’t want the stain of impeachment on their party. I’ll just repeat what our minority leader (Nancy Pelosi) has said before: We need a crime to impeach. No matter how ugly Trump’s deportment is, he has not committed a crime and our Constitution constrains our Congress in that regard.

He is certainly doing a tremendous job at it. I'm not sure, but I think he is suggesting that there could be tapes of their conversations, so Comey had better make sure that what he says is accurate if he "leaks" their discussions. Although, if they were not discussing anything classified or related to the investigations, would it really be a "leak" if Comey discloses what they talked about?

President Obama speech writer Cody Keenan...
"A great thing about working for @barackobama is that we never had to scrap our whole day at 9am because he threw a tantrum at cable tv"
If this is true about the tantrums at cable tv, whatever one feels about trump's policies, this is just not normal.

Paul Ryan...
"Ryan: Things like Comey story "does not distract us from doing what we’re elected to do, which is to solve problems."
Well if you are elected to solve problems when are going to solve the problem of trump instead of sticking your head up your......?
Ryan and McConnell are prime examples how power can corrupt.

Dan Rather.....
"I have lived through nearly 4,500 weeks in my life, and I have never seen a week like the one we just had. facebook.com/theDanRather/p…"
He has a point but I have a feeling there will more if not worse weeks than this one as long as trump is president.

David Axelrod....
"The 1st 100 days were intermittently stormy. The 2d 100 days have begun with this crazy, maybe sinister episode. Can it go on like this?"
Good question.

So, my president spent this morning tweeting vengeful fractured syntax in front of his TV...and I just checked out my senator's twitter and he's got this today:
I would happily hand over today's paycheck for the chance to hear Donald Trump take a stab at pronouncing an eight-syllable word. Hell, I'd consider sacrificing half the paycheck just for "myalgic."

I heard him speaking on WGN radio today and he sounded so sane that my initial thought was what is he doing in DC... then I thought isn't that sad that I am coming to expect nonsense.

All my life I've had a pet peeve about people who cut in line, but I'd let Dick Durbin cut into the presidential line of succession any day.

From Jason Kander , Veteran Activist....
"Everything for sale in this administration. Sessions is selling human beings directly to the private prison lobby."
This is in response to Session wanting give the maximum prision sentence to drug offenders. Just another example of continuing to do what doesn't work. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

Ok then release the tax returns so we can all see it for ourselves.

Perhaps a visit to the Netherlands is in order. They have a shortage of prisoners there. In fact, they have started to import prisoners from Norway and Belgium. This is an interesting read about how the Dutch do it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-37904263
