“BREAKING: Spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May: Trump was wrong to share anti-Muslim videos tweeted by far-right leader.”
How embarrassing.

Take Israel, f'r'instance. Once Jared resolves that pesky Israel-Palestine misunderstanding, they can lose the whole Mideast section at State. People been dickin' around in that department since 1948... I adore you, woman. |

Yes he is definitely starting to show signs of panic. I wish I could agree with this because I want desperately to believe something is looming that might remove him from power. But it's all starting to seem just...par for the course? Right? This is just him and the GOP is fine with it. No matter what. Truly No. Matter. What. |

I also understand that they have discovered a direct connection between Erik Prince (Betsy DeVos's brother) acting on behalf of Trump with another Russian close to Putin in January of this year to set up a back channel communication, shortly before the inauguration. How about adding Traitor Thursday to the mix? Oh yes please, I'll raise my glass to Traitor Thursday! Judging by the Twitter crazy from Trump, something big is coming down the pike. May I suggest we add Felony Friday? |

Trump's behavior raises questions of competencyAnalysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN Updated 2:25 PM ET, Wed November 29, 2017 Washington (CNN)Donald Trump potentially has millions of lives in his hands as the threat of a devastating war with North Korea swiftly escalates. Yet the President of the United States is raising new questions about his temperament, his judgment and his understanding of the resonance of his global voice and the gravity of his role with a wild sequence of insults, inflammatory tweets and bizarre comments. On Wednesday Trump caused outrage and sparked fears of violent reprisals against Americans and US interests overseas by retweeting graphic anti-Muslim videos by an extreme far right British hate group. Earlier this week he used a racial slur in front of Native American war heroes. He's attacked global press freedom, after cozying up to autocrats on his recent Asia tour. And now there are reports that the President has revived conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama's birthplace and is suggesting an "Access Hollywood" video on which he was heard boasting sexually assaulting women, and for which he apologized last year, had been doctored.In normal times, it would be a concern that the President is conducting himself in a manner so at odds with the decorum and propriety associated for over two centuries with the office he holds.
But the sudden escalation of the North Korean crisis, following the Stalinist state's launch of its most potent ever missile on Tuesday, takes the world across a dangerous threshold.If diplomacy is unable to defuse the North Korea crisis, or slow its march to the moment when Kim Jong Un can credibly claim to be able to target all of the United States with a nuclear payload, Trump will face one of the most intricate dilemmas of any modern President. Will he live with the threat posed by a mercurial, wildly unpredictable adversary? Or, will he launch what could turn out to be a hugely bloody and destructive war to remove Kim's nuclear threat?There will be a premium on Trump's judgment, his capacity to absorb the most serious detail and to make choices that could put many, many lives at risk, and draw the United States into escalating situations in Northeast Asia.More at link: www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/politics/president-donald-trump-competency/index.htmlIf he thinks he can destroy North Korea, he best better know that we may very well not survive either... The fall out will be devastating to the whole world.

Is it illegal to send videos that are not true? Sarah seems to say it is ok... A Dutch official reportedly said Wednesday that the “Muslim migrant” in one of the controversial videos President Trump tweeted out was, in fact, born and raised in the Netherlands. CNN’s Jim Scuitto tweeted Wednesday that the Dutch Prosecutor’s office said the young man in the video is “not a migrant.” The minor in the video retweeted by Trump is not a 'migrant', Dutch Prosecutor's Office says. He was born and raised in the Netherlands. He was punished under a special sentencing program for juveniles.
— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 29, 2017Early Wednesday morning, Trump retweeted three videos from the leader of a British ultranationalist group, purporting to show Muslims committing violent acts. The video in question showed a young man beating up another on crutches, with the caption, “Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!” thehill.com/homenews/administration/362404-dutch-government-child-in-video-trump-shared-wasnt-a-migrant |

Greg Sargent...
“Paul Ryan nixed a fundraiser for a GOP Rep. who voted against tax cuts for the rich, and sources tell @shanegoldmacher that this was explicitly designed to "punish" him.
This bill really is about rewarding their donors!

Thanks Tweet-in-Chief Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) repeated claims that the United States is “headed toward a war” if North Korea fails to stop its ongoing missile and nuclear tests. “If there’s a war with North Korea, it’s because North Korea brought it on itself,” Graham told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday evening. "And we're headed toward a war if things don't change." The isolated nation on Tuesday fired what the Pentagon assessed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) — the first such launch in more than two months. It flew more than 1,000 km before falling into the Sea of Japan. Pyongyang later claimed that its latest missile launch was a new, more advanced weapon capable of reaching any point on the U.S. mainland. thehill.com/policy/defense/362387-graham-on-north-korea-were-headed-toward-a-war-if-things-dont-changeThey cannot put all the blame on KJU...... |

So Chuck Todd is on his MTP all self righteous about the Democratic leadership in Congress not kicking out Conyers and Franken. He barely mentions Moore other then saying he is still running and trump supports him. He is wondering why the Democrats are not doing what the entertainment industry has done.
The way I see it is that fine Conyers and Franken can go as long as trump and Clarence Thomas go as well. All or none.
The entertainment industry is cleaning house across the board and none are being spared.
But when it comes to politics the Democrats are being criticized for not taking the high road. It doesn’t work that and shouldn’t work that way. What these men are accused of doing is just not acceptable or any level and you can’t pick and choose who gets to go and who gets to stay because of your party affiliation. If one wants Conyers and Franken gone ok then Moore needs to be soundly beaten in Alabama, Clarence Thomas and trump need to resign. Until then Conyers and Franken should stay right where they are. It’s all or none. Otherwise it’s meaningless.

Fewer international travelers visiting the US BY MELANIE ZANONA - 11/29/17 05:26 PM EST Fewer international travelers have been visiting the United States over the last year, according to new government statistics. From June 2016 through June 2017, overall international inbound travel decreased 3.9 percent, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office. The biggest drop in travel has been from Mexico, with a 9.4 percent decline in visitors coming into the country. The new data comes amid increasing concern from the U.S. travel industry that the Trump administration’s efforts to tighten border and aviation security could discourage legitimate visitors from coming to the U.S. ************* The travel sector has been urging the administration to more clearly communicate who is welcome to the U.S., warning that Trump’s policies could have a chilling effect on the $250 billion industry if not they are accompanied by proper messaging. Travel is the country's No. 2 export and supports more than 15 million American jobs, according to the U.S. Travel Association."The latest government travel data is deeply concerning not just to our industry, but to anyone who cares about the economic well-being of the United States… These numbers are an undeniable wake-up call, and correcting this troubling trend needs to become a national priority,” Roger Dow, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association, said in a statement on Wednesday. thehill.com/policy/transportation/362443-fewer-international-travelers-visiting-the-usBig numbers 15 million American jobs could be gone! |

David Axelrod.
“Even by Trumpian standards, today has been a remarkable day, filled with despicable Tweets and reports of delusional behavior.
What has pushed him over the edge? Is it Flynn?”
Good question. It appears something set him off more than usual.

Haley: 'North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed' if war breaks outBY MAX GREENWOOD - 11/29/17 05:58 PM EST United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday rebuked North Korea's latest missile test, echoing President Trump's past threats that the isolated Asian country will be "destroyed" in the event of war with the U.S. In an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council, Haley called on the panel's member states to amp up sanctions on North Korea and fully implement penalties established by the council earlier this year. But she also delivered a firm warning that North Korea's latest missile test brings Washington and Pyongyang "closer to war," and that if a conflict were to break out between the U.S. and North Korea, the isolated country would face certain devastation. "If war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed," Haley said. Haley's comments came after North Korea conducted its latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test on Tuesday, its first in more than two months. The rocket flew further than any of its predecessors, with the U.S. mainland falling into its range. Trump said on Wednesday that he would implement "additional major sanctions" against North Korea in response to the test, vowing that "the situation will be handled." Haley's remarks at the Security Council meeting on Wednesday echoed the past rhetoric of both her and President Trump. In September, after North Korea said it had tested a miniaturized hydrogen bomb, Haley said Kim Jong Un's regime was "begging for war." In August, Trump said he would unleash "fire and fury" on the country if it continued to threaten the U.S. and its allies. Later, in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly in September, he threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea in the event of a military confrontation. thehill.com/policy/international/362448-haley-haley-north-korea-will-be-utterly-destroyed-if-war-breaks-outDo they not realize that some of us will be killed also..A lot maybe. ? OUR military is saying that NK missles can reach the east coast. There a lot of USA land between there and her........ IF someone would keep his hand off the keyboard this would not be happening!!

And yet AGAIN, the orange traffic cone referred to KJU as "Rocket Man" (I hope that Elton John/Bernie Taupin somehow get royalties every time he says that! LOL). He seemed to be drunk this entire day or stoned. I'm sure it's a coverup for being SO scared of Flynn's cooperation with Mueller, or for the idea of his precious daughter heading back to NYC where he can't see her every day......... or so much more, but it's time to have this sick, crazy, old, demented person shut up now! He's putting us in severe danger!
