But this takes the cake... “Trump told aides he thought he looked “terrible” and blamed his chief of staff’s office, and Fuentes in particular, for not counseling him that skipping the cemetery visit would be a public-relations nightmare.” He is supposed to be an adult to make his own decisions!!
&
“ On Sunday, he got angry at Macron for his remarks at a ceremony honoring the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The French president denounced rising nationalism around the world and called it a “betrayal of patriotism,” with two of the world’s leading nationalists — Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin — in attendance. .Poor baby! WE should be very concerned that he was ONE of two nationlists present!!
Trump told advisers he considered Macron’s comment a personal insult, and it came on the heels of a disagreement between the two leaders over Macron’s call for a “true European army.” At their bilateral meeting on Saturday, Trump appeared subdued and almost sullen.” No doubt it WAS delivered as an insult, well deserved at that!

Let us see if he follows through!! Graham backs bill to protect MuellerBY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 11/13/18 09:35 PM EST Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday said that he would support a bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller. “I would certainly vote for it,” he told reporters, according to Reuters. “I don’t see any movement to get rid of Mueller. But it probably would be good to have this legislation in place just for the future.” Graham co-sponsored a bill to protect the Mueller investigation in April 2018 that would codify Department of Justice regulations that say only a senior official can fire Mueller or another special counsel. ** thehill.com/homenews/senate/416573-graham-backs-bill-to-protect-mueller

Just the way you treat a kindergartener.
I said in the beginning he didn't want the " job" but just the "title". Just like he ran his companies, he thought he could sit back, do nothing, and take all the credit.

The first steps toward unity that will last a lifetime, over and over again! They should be so proud! Conservative site to sell Lego-style 'Build The Wall' toy setBY JUSTIN WISE - 11/14/18 10:16 AM EST The conservative online merchant Keep and Bear is preparing to a sell a Lego-style toy set portraying President Trump's much-touted border wall. "We are pleased to announce the launch of a brand new line of toys: MAGA building blocks!" reads a description of the toy set on the company's website. "This toy makes a great Christmas gift for your kids and grandkids!" The company said it is currently offering pre-orders for the set and will begin shipping on Nov. 23. The item, which features "MAGA" and "Build the Wall" emblazoned on the set's box, is being sold for $29.95. In addition to the wall, the toy set features a President Trump figurine. The box also depicts what appears to be a stereotypical Mexican caricature wearing a sombrero and holding maracas. The web page for the toy also features an explanation for why the product was made.
"A mob of 10,000 Central American migrants is marching through Mexico and heading toward El Paso, Texas," the description reads. "We understand why they want to flee Honduras and live and work in America. After all, we are the greatest nation on earth.
"In the interest of national security, however, we cannot allow just anyone and everyone to cross our borders."** thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/416615-conservative-site-to-sell-lego-styled-build-the-wall-toy-set

wow, it is a VERY close knockoff to the Lego packaging, logo style, etc. If you have the website's product page open, it pops up a box showing when people order something off the website. There are a LOT of 'Maga' toys that are Lego knockoffs; a Trump sends Hillary to prison set, a Hillary figure with a phone that says 'are your e-mails safe' and a book that says '1001 insults and mean words' etc. etc.
The entire 'toys' section of that website actually sickens me.

But this takes the cake... “Trump told aides he thought he looked “terrible” and blamed his chief of staff’s office, and Fuentes in particular, for not counseling him that skipping the cemetery visit would be a public-relations nightmare.” ————
No to defend him, because he’s a grown man and REALLY should have already known this would be a mistake, but his staff should have warned him that the public would have the reaction it did. And if they didn’t warn him that is a failure on their part. Esp seeing as how he is arguably the most hated president in recent history, they should have warned him that the intense backlash would be extreme.

Washington PostFrom the Washington Post... “Five days of fury: Inside Trump’s Paris temper, election woes and staff upheaval” From the article.. “As he jetted to Paris last Friday, President Trump received a congratulatory phone call aboard Air Force One. British Prime Minister Theresa May was calling to celebrate the Republican Party’s wins in the midterm elections — never mind that Democrats seized control of the House — but her appeal to the American president’s vanity was met with an ornery outburst. Trump berated May for Britain not doing enough, in his assessment, to contain Iran. He questioned her over Brexit and complained about the trade deals he sees as unfair with European countries. May has endured Trump’s churlish temper before, but still her aides were shaken by his especially foul mood, according to U.S. and European officials briefed on the conversation.” & ”During his 43-hour stay in Paris, Trump brooded over the Florida recounts and sulked over key races being called for Democrats in the midterm elections that he had claimed as a “big victory.” He erupted at his staff over media coverage of his decision to skip a ceremony honoring the military sacrifice of World War I.” & “The president also was angry and resentful over French President Emmanuel Macron’s public rebuke of rising nationalism, which Trump considered a personal attack. And that was after his difficult meeting with Macron, where officials said little progress was made as Trump again brought up his frustrations over trade and Iran. “ & ”Meanwhile, Trump was plotting a shake-up in his administration. He told advisers over the weekend that he had decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and that he also was seriously considering replacing White House chief of staff John F. Kelly, who scrambled early this week to try to save Nielsen’s job.” & ”Trump was told that morning by Deputy White House Chief of Staff Zachary D. Fuentes that the Secret Service had concerns about flying Marine One through the rain and fog from Paris to the cemetery 50 miles away, and that a motorcade could be lengthy and snarl traffic in the area, according to one senior White House official. Trump chose not to make the trip, and Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, and Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, attended in his stead. But Trump quickly grew infuriated by a torrent of tweets and media coverage suggesting that the president was afraid of the rain and did not respect veterans.” But this takes the cake... “Trump told aides he thought he looked “terrible” and blamed his chief of staff’s office, and Fuentes in particular, for not counseling him that skipping the cemetery visit would be a public-relations nightmare.”
&
“ On Sunday, he got angry at Macron for his remarks at a ceremony honoring the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

And the article goes on. So he's all pissy because Macron called him out. This from the guy who manages to personally insult every world leader he's met with nasty names and crap tweets. He can dish it out but can't take the heat. Loser.

Lost the Whitaker one today and probably this one too, although they are in court now! Trump argues in court filing he can restrict reporter access to White HouseBY JORDAN FABIAN - 11/14/18 11:43 AM EST The Trump administration on Wednesday pushed back against CNN's request to immediately reinstate reporter Jim Acosta's press pass, arguing that reporters do not have a Constitutional right to enter the White House. The claim came in a Justice Department legal filing hours before a federal court hearing on CNN's lawsuit over the White House's decision to pull Acosta's press pass after a heated exchange with President Trump last week during a news conference. "No journalist has a First Amendment right to enter the White House," three Justice Department lawyers wrote in the filing. "The president and White House possess the same broad discretion to regulate access to the White House for journalists (and other members of the public) that they possess to select which journalists receive interviews, or which journalists they acknowledge at press conferences," the lawyers continued. The filing comes in response to CNN's attempt to win a temporary restraining order from a federal judge that would immediately restore Acosta's press pass. If CNN prevails, Acosta would be allowed back into the White House while the lawsuit proceeds. CNN on Tuesday sued the Trump administration over Acosta's credentials, which were suspended last week. The news network argued that revoking them violated the reporter's First and Fifth Amendment rights to free speech and due process, respectively. The legal actions have ratcheted up Trump's long-running feud with the news media and could test the limits of his ability to crack down on reporters whose coverage he does not like. CNN, and Acosta in particular, have repeatedly found themselves between the president's crosshairs. "This severe and unprecedented punishment is the culmination of years of hostility by President Trump against CNN and Acosta based on the contents of their reporting—an unabashed attempt to censor the press and exclude reporters from the White House who challenge and dispute the President’s point of view," the news network alleges in its suit. News organizations have banded together behind CNN. Fox News President Jay Wallace said in a statement his network will back CNN and plans to file a legal brief disputing the White House's arguments. The Associated Press, Bloomberg, Gannett, The New York Times and multiple other media organizations also plan to file amicus briefs backing the news network, they announced Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly, a Trump appointee, will preside over Wednesday's hearing at 3:30 p.m. thehill.com/homenews/administration/416650-trump-argues-he-can-restrict-reporter-access-to-white-house

Or, for that matter, trump’s stooge Nunes. I always have to remind myself that Nunes is from California- totally doesn’t seem to ‘fit’ ya know. All I can say is - at least Rodney Frelinghuysen wasn’t a total ass. Neither was Leonard Lance, they sort of kept thier mouths shut and kept out of the fray, did thier jobs. Agree or disagree with them they did their jobs. Cory Booker can take a few pointers on not opening your mouth every chance possible. The more you speak the more chances yo stick your foot in your mouth. Booker never met a photo op he didn’t take advantage of.

Merge and dewryce surprise!! Texas Democrat Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz ran into each other at an airport in Houston, Texas, where they reportedly cordially greeted each other days after a contentious midterm Senate race. Tiffany Easter, a Texas A&M student in the Bush School of Government and Public Service, captured photos of the two former rivals posing with a group of people at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Tuesday. Easter wrote on Facebook that O’Rourke noticed Cruz waiting for the same flight and walked over to congratulate him on his re-election campaign. “It was the first time they had seen each other since the election and the entire conversation was both of them talking about how they could move forward together,” Easter wrote. “The Texas Senate race was one of the most contested and most watched in the nation. Today we literally watched them come together. This is America.” ** The college student told The Hill that the more she reflects on the attention the story has gotten, the more “it confirms that America is craving encounters like this. A simple handshake and conversation can go a long way.” “America needs good stories like this to show we’re only divided if we choose to be and I hope people take this example, as simple as it is, and pass it forward,” she added. thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/416796-orourke-and-cruz-run-into-each-other-at-texas-airport

I agree with him. If the Democrats elect someone other than Nancy Pelosi then they really are shooting themselves in the foot. What she can do , IMO, is guide the House Democrats so they don’t do stupid,

Avenetti's wife said it was false. She said it never happened and that Michael has no temper at all.
I smell a set up. Not only that, but since when does the LAPD tweet about arrests? Never seen that until today.
Think Avenetti got under Trump's skin? He posted today that he and Daniels were going to speak with Cohen today.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is a ruse to discredit him.
