Ezra Klein... “I disagree with David Brooks's historical gloss on partisanship here, but there's something to this: "Trump’s supporters follow him because he gets his facts wrong, but he gets his myths right. He tells the morality tale that works for them." " Certainly something to ponder but he may be on to something. that (bolded) rings true and struck a chord with me. I guess it's another way of putting it- that he says (and tweets) what they want to hear, whether they know it or not. Like the spreading of urban legends until people hear repeatedly and then trust to be truth- but with more consequences.

Trump's asshat kid using his own daughter to score political points.
Getting schooled about how his daughter got FREE STUFF from the goodness of other people's hearts but he wants to make fun and teach her that giving any of it to someone who didn't TorT is WRONG! SAD!
I'm sure Don Jr. born w/that big silver spoon up his hindquarters knows a lot about "hard work" and "earning your own way".

Most people agree- if you read the comments after his dumbass tweet you will see that he was made highly aware of that fact. and so on.

They are so tone-deaf to their own greed and selfishness that it's almost comical. But then when I remember he will inherit billions through no work of his own and he begrudges those with less ability or more need, I want to throw up, not laugh.

From trump...
“The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.”
Which prompted this from Chris Lu...
“In fact, 2013 Senate immigration reform bill (S. 744) that Schumer sponsored eliminates this program. House Republicans blocked that bill”.
He even posted a copy of the Schumer bill eliminating the program.
trump’s tweet came shortly after Fox & Friends make the same accusation.
Yesterday and I guess today Congress is grilling representatives from Twitter, Facebook, & Google about their platform from which hostile third parties can distribute “fake news”.
It seems to me the biggest threat to this country from “fake news” is trump and Fox News. So why isn’t Congress investigating them?
Edited to add this from Senator Jeff Flake...
“In fact, had the Senate Gang of 8 bill passed the House, it would have ended the Visa Lottery Program AND increased merit based visas.”
But hey tiny hands/Fox News don’t let the facts get in the way of slamming the other side.

This was Shaun King’s response
“Again, a white man shot FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE in Las Vegas and Trump had NOTHING.
Zilch No solutions. No policies. No ideas. Nothing.”
To this trump tweet...
“I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!”
This occurred to me as well.

Morning after NYC, Trump has pinpointed immigration overhaul”
And now we don’t talk about Las Vegas at all.

Politico....
“White House defends Kelly's Civil War comments, calls criticism 'disgraceful' politi.co/2zZrP1I”
So here’s a question. Why is it “disgraceful” to criticize Kelly?

From trump... “The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.” Even merit based visa won't guarantee that they are not terrorist. It was a British born Doctor of Iraqi decent and an Indian engineer studying for his PHD that attempted to drive the car bomb into the terminal building of Glasgow airport in 2007 .....I guess if they applied to come to the US based on merit they probably would be granted a visa as the chances are that they would have decent jobs to go to. I think Trump is under the impression that terrorists are uneducated, far from it. The Indian engineer died of his injuries but the Dr is serving life in prison, ironically, having had his life saved by the people he worked beside at a Glasgow Hospital.

This is nothing but an excuse to play to his shrinking base. The base that is not happy this country is slowly but steadily moving away from a white majority. American born white majority I might add. trump seems to have forgotten the white guy born in the United State who killed 59 people and wounded hundreds of others just a couple of weeks earlier in Las Vegas. A member of the “correct” white majority.

Maybe Jr needs some grammar lessons as well, it's too early asshat, not TO!

Like the "very fine" young man who mowed down the people in Charlottesville. Same MO.Only difference I can see is his religion and he was born here.

president tiny hands being presidential.....
“CHAIN MIGRATION must end now! Some people come in, and they bring their whole family with them, who can be truly evil. NOT ACCEPTABLE!”
Its certainly not acceptable that they let his family into this country. I think a case could be made that he is “truly evil”.
But while he’s hot to trot to stop what he deems unacceptable people from coming into this country he has very little to say about he wants to do to stop US born white guys from killing 59 people and wounding hundreds of others.
A real leader. Jerk.

This from John Cornyn
“Senate Democrats falsely claim GOP tax plan will raise taxes for most working-class families”
Prompted this Brian Fallon...
“So Cornyn's argument here is that Trump plan *only* raises taxes on 8 million middle-class households?”
Cornyn’s translation “ Yea some of the middle class will pay more in taxes but the good news is all of the rich will get a tax cut.”
Its kind of like the GOP selling their replacement for the ACA when they touted “access”. I have access to a lot of things but the real question is can I pay for it.
