NBC News...
“Pres. Trump is at his Virginia golf club, marking his 73rd visit to one of his golf properties since taking office nbcnews.trib.al/hVWuXyM”
Would members of the other side, who took great joy in slamming President Obama for playing golf, care to chime in on this? 73 golf games in the 263 trump has been in office.
Just wait Mar a Lago should be opening soon and then we will have to pay millions of dollars in security costs so he can fly to Florida to pay golf. Least now he’s close to the White House when he feels the need to play golf.

I swear that Trump and his family and their shell corps have most likely invested in businesses that he promotes/applauds or denounces so that they can take advantage...
He's manipulating the stock market

This tweet from Alana Goodman..
“Chelsea Clinton literally fled the scene when I asked her if Clinton Foundation will return Harvey Weinstein money”
Prompted this reply from Pe Resik..
“Considering the proper thing would be to donate the money to charity (NOT return it), let's remember the Clinton Foundation IS A CHARITY.”
There is no question Weinstein is a disgusting person but if his money can get needed AIDS medicine or clean water to those who needed it I’m guessing those who receive the help couldn’t care less where the money came from. There just grateful they have the medicine and clean water they need.

“The Failing @nytimes, in a story by Peter Baker, should have mentioned the rapid terminations by me of TPP & The Paris Accord & the fast....”
“...approvals of The Keystone XL & Dakota Access pipelines. Also, look at the recent EPA cancelations & our great new Supreme Court Justice!”
What a jerk. Nothing he’s done is going to make America great again. In fact these decisions will go a long way in pushing this country into the crapper.

ABC News... “.@nikkihaley to @gstephaonopoulos: Pres. Trump's decision on Iran deal "sends the perfect message to North Korea." abcn.ws/2gFy8Aj” What message is that? That you can’t trust the United States? That there is no point negotiating with the United States? Just how does this make America great again? WE can't trust him!! Why should anyone else?

Even still had to think about more. I truly think my brain is overloaded!!

The immensity of bad decisions and poor actions and speech that come from Trump astound me.
I took the past week off from watching and reading most news because it is so appalling.
But at some point I had to turn back in and I am just so saddened. Not that I really thought it would be better, but it's still so bad.

Politico....
"The Christians, they know what I'm doing for them, right?" President Trump grinned and nodded as he was praised politi.co/2z8b6ZH
This is example at what lengths one will do to win. I’m talking about both trump and the Christian Right.
What is missing in this equation is integrity. We knew trump never had any but now he has dragged the Christian Right voters down to his level.

Great article here too.
8 years of suffering under Obama:
The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.”
Fair enough. Let’s take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50.
He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting groundbreaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer.
Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice.
Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4.
Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996.
Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.”
Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns.
He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar.
He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered? If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: may we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more.

“Pres. Trump on Mueller's Russia probe: "I'd like to see it end. The whole Russia thing was an excuse for the Democrats losing the election."
Notice everything the Democrats do is an excuse for losing the election. I I believe if there was nothing there the investigation would be over. Doesn’t help that the family “forgets” their meetings with various Russians.
For a group of people who claim they have nothing to hide or did nothing wrong they sure act guilty.

Prompted this response by Chelsea Clinton....
“Some perspective: Not worried about my mom's broken toe. I am worried about people in Puerto Rico not having clean water, food or power. “
Of course Fox News isn’t going to talk about Puerto Rico because the ongoing disaster there is a reflection of trump’s lack of leadership.

Not a peep from tiny hands. But he did sign the disaster relief for the fires. Someone probably forced him to do it.

“It's amazing to me that both the right-wing and the mainstream media have tried so hard to make the Weinstein scandal about Hillary Clinton…”
“…when the real scandal is so much worse and implies that the establishment which helped to enable it is deeply corrupt.”
He’s right.

Worried about her health Fox is really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. She was delayed arriving for the filming of the BBC's Graham Norton Show due to a broken toe. Delayed I might add she did turn up after she had it treated. She arrived for the recording of Norton's BBC One show wearing a surgical boot. Mrs Clinton said: "I was running down the stairs in heels with a cup of coffee in hand, I was talking over my shoulder and my heel caught and I fell backwards. "I tried to get up and it really hurt. I've broken my toe. I've received excellent care from your excellent health service."

Trump's net worth drops $600 million on Forbes' rich list, falls 92 spots
by Chris Isidore @cnnmoney October 17, 2017: 11:12 AM ET "Trump's golf clubs in Scotland are losing millions The rich are getting richer. But not Donald Trump. The Forbes list of 400 richest Americans shows that the billionaire-in-chief's fortune fell by $600 million to $3.1 billion. As a result he dropped to #248 on the list, after coming in at #156 last year. The magazine attributed his decline in wealth to "a tough New York real estate market, particularly for retail locations; a costly lawsuit and an expensive presidential campaign." Trump reached a $25 million settlement in a suit that claims that his Trump University real estate seminars defrauded students." money.cnn.com/2017/10/17/news/trump-billionaires-forbes-richest-americans/index.htmlWhat will he have to say about this??
