Of all the statements trump has made this has got to be the dumbest yet.
ABC News...
"POTUS on not denouncing hate groups in initial Charlottesville statement: “You don't make statements that direct unless you know the facts”

NBC News.....
"President Trump: CEOs are quitting advisory council "out of embarrassment" because products are made outside of U.S."
I believe this is the definition of "denial".
I think if you look at the remaining CEO's most if not all sell products outside the US.

And how many times has he tweeted about some bombing calling out terrorists before it was formally announced. He wanted to make sure he has all the facts? Never stopped him before from tweeting some unfound information.

Every time you think he can't possibly sink any lower, he's like, "Hold my beer."
What an embarrassment.

How bad does it have to get before he gets the boot?
If Mueller is able to make a proven case against Trump, & Trump is impeached, Mueller will be known as a hero.

This tweet by Ryan.
"We must be clear. White supremacy is repulsive. This bigotry is counter to all this country stands for. There can be no moral ambiguity."
Prompted this response by Chris Lu.
"Moral ambiguity is supporting a president whose values are counter to all this country stands for - simply because you want tax reform"
Until the Republicans dump trump they really are no better than he is. They made a deal with the devil to move their agenda and they are naive if they think they won't be tainted by his actions....

linkThe EO tiny hands today is going to make it easier to fix infrastructure by removing those pesky regulations like this one... "The Obama-era standard required that builders factor in scientific projections for increased flooding and ensure projects can withstand rising sea levels and stronger downpours. The Obama administration required all federal agencies apply the standard to public infrastructure projects from housing to highways. It raised base flood levels to a higher vertical elevation to "address current and future flood risk and ensure that projects funded with taxpayer dollars last as long as intended," according to a 2015 Treasury Department presentation. U.S. officials have estimated the United States suffered $260 billion in flood related damages between 1980 and 2013."
I guess in the trump era it's only important to build it and who cares what happens afterwards. However what might throw a monkey wrench in this little plan of trump are the insurance companies. They do take seriously flood risks and in areas where it could be a problem they may not offer flood coverage. Which mean the owners may have to self-insure which could be problematic if there is serious flooding.

A little off topic.
Andre Agassi posted a picture with this tweet "...,and I'm the worst athlete in the room".
The picture is of him, Golden State Warriors Steph Curry and Andre Iguodala and former 49er quarterback Joe Montana.
Andre Iguodala replied "You got the most trophies tho!!".
With all this craziness with trump it's kind of nice to get a chuckle from local, to me anyhow, sports guys.

Lots of applause for those who have quit to let their moral standing be known.

Seth Meyers a greater statesman than our POTUS. Im sorry Seth, I no longer have that faith in the American Voters. Wish I did. I guess your a better optimist than I. I am trying really hard but lately all i see/feel are doom and gloom, My optimism is increasingly hard to find. And I was doing so well with it before.

From Hillary Clinton....
"Trump and Pence's courting of white supremacists isn't a game: It's normalizing racism. And it's deplorable."
Can't argue with that.
