Donnie Wahlberg likes to tweet out his version of Words of Wisdom. This one trump should pay attention to..
"We don't fear what is different.
We don't fear what we don't understand.
We only fear our thoughts, and the stories that our egos create."

From Politico....
"Pence will join GOP leaders for fundraiser benefiting his PAC politi.co/2usQXPN"
Why does a sitting VP need his own PAC when his boss has already said he is going to run for reelection? Pence has already said that he won't be using the monies raised by this PAC for his legal fees because of Russia.
I'm the first to admit I don't like Pence but this does seem to be a really shady move on his part.

Chris Lu...
"Trump WH just released public comments submitted to voter fraud commission without redacting email addresses, home addresses & phone numbers"
One would like to think it was a mistake but based on their past behavior I kind of doubt it.

And proves the point that Trump et al., are not going to give a flying fig to protect the voter info they requested. They are going to publish voter rolls with all the info so that those who don't think like him are harassed by others.

Kurt Eichenwald is a reporter for Newsweek who is on a roll this morning. After reading his tweets this morning I find what he is saying could be applied to discussions that happen on this board...
"I remember when debate required actual facts. If slurs and name calling were taken out of the mix, 90% of Americans would have no argument."
"Here is an example of people taking provable fact, leading to an interpretive and probably false conclusion presented as fact:"
"1. Climate changing. 2. Peer reviewed science shows is man made. 3. Iceberg broke off antartica 4. Man made climate change caused it (FALSE)"
"How do I know it's false? Because the SAME climatologists who reach conduct peer-reviewed research say its unlikely to be connected."
"...so u can either say peer reviewed science is by ppl who don't know what theyre talking about, or they also know more than u about #4."
"Here are some forms of ignorant argument: 1. Slur 2. Whataboutism (unless to prove hypocrisy) 3. Memes 4. Opinion as fact 5. Facebooks facts
"...by Facebook facts I mean "something I picked up from the internet coming from a source I knew would agree with my preexisting beliefs."

Washington Post Phillip Rucker...
RNC Chair responded to our scoop on Trumpworld wanting RNC to pay Russia fees: "I don't even know if that's legal”
It seems trump and company wants the RNC to pay for their legal bills.

From MSNBC.....
"Jared Kushner reportedly wants to go on offense over Trump Jr. meeting: on.msnbc.com/2tWExNc"
I saw this yesterday. How can one go on the offensive about a meeting with a foreign government , as noted in the emails, that was either about getting dirt on Hillary or removing sanctions against the foreign government connected to the meeting?

"Majority of Americans oppose Trump tax plan politi.co/2vldpa2"
That can of goes with the majority of Americans not liking the ACA replacement the GOP is flaunting.
Which brings up the question have trump and the Republicans done anything that is positive for this country since trump took office?

I was curious as to who was paying for all the lawyers for tRump and clan. Another example of him and his family feeding at the trough of America.
At some point all the elected officials need to start holding them accountable, and we need to hold all of our representatives accountable.
According to a Vanity Fair article march 2017, 'The White House Inc.' "no tax returns, no blind trust, no divestment: Donald Trump has ignored calls to put his country before his business. From foreign bank loans to deals with Russian oligarchs, there's evidence of serious conflict ahead."
and the representatives in the Senate and Congress just ignore it.

@fred and others, do you think it would be ok to start posting his tweets again? Although I completely agree that we need to be more focused on what he's actually doing as opposed to saying, I feel like I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. If that makes sense?
Also - thank you for doing this thread for us. I'm sure it's time-consuming.

Paul Ryan...
"It is high time Senate Democrats stop their partisan obstruction of the president’s appointments."
It is really amazing how soon they forget on how many positions the Republicans "obstructed" for President Obama's nominees. The biggest obstruction being Judge Garland.
Having said that the real hold up is the dingbat in the Oval Office has nominated very few nominees for the Democrats to obstruct.
For the record if the nominee is qualified they should be confirmed. Too bad the Republicans don't fully understand that.

Oh!! I just did! And it wasn't for the country, it was for his children. CNN had a piece on Don Jr. last night and they showed excerpts of interviews that the kids have done in the past. One clip was with the 4 grown children, and they were talking about substance abuse. The reporter said something to the effect of "And he encouraged you not to use alcohol or drugs?" They all nodded, and Ivanka piped up and said "Every day! Every morning he would tell us, 'Don't drink. Don't use drugs.' ".
Even though it was probably gold-plated & smelled like cheeto, I have to agree with that one.

Well I was wrong. The trump folks are creating jobs and they are those coveted $30 an hour jobs. For lawyers.

Between the number of companies that monitor his social media and the lawyers and legal staff he's creating jobs galore. Might not help the coal miners or the factory workers tho

So Ann Coulter tweeted this...
"Why are you taking me out of the extra room seat I specifically booked, @delta?' Flight attendant: "I don't know.”
Which prompted this response from Jason Kander..
"Maybe they thought the whole assist other passengers in the event of an emergency thing wasn't really your jam."

What a first class thin skinned big fat wimp. linkWhat worries me about this is the total disconnect. In the USA T is completely unable to control most of the press and spends a good deal of his time railing about it. Yet he expects TM to fix the British press? Make fake news? Plus there is no such thing as the British press. Is she expected to make sure no journalist can buy an air ticket or have internet access? Sounds like he thinks the UK is like North Korea. Never mind the wimpishness, that is nothing. What is of concern is the total inability to think things through, see connections, consequences etc. or to care about anything other than second-by-second "winning" and being lauded.

She managed to reduce her majority!
