This is truly beyond the pale. The idea of someone like Trump, a draft dodger, criticizing someone like McRaven is ridiculous, disrespectful, and I.can’t.even. McRaven: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._McRavenIf he criticized McCain what would stop him from criticizing any other military person? It’s not like he respects them for thier service or anything. Apparently, nothing will stop him. I hope that this one backfires.

Rake the forest floor? Here's the rake, the American people will gladly hand you a rake and let the adults run the country for 48 hours while you rake Trump. This is so upsetting. I am aghast at his complete lack of awareness and intelligence for basic understanding. How does anyone think he was sent by GOD? There is NO bottom for Trump or his family. None of this is okay. Paradise California should take Trump at his word - it was caused by pour forest management. The town is surrounded by federally controlled national forests. Trump lowered the budget of the National forest service. Looks to me like it’s his fault directly. Too bad they can’t use his own words in court to sue him. That's what I keep saying! And you know what will help "poor forest management"? Like maybe giving the BLM and other land agencies the staffs and budgets they need to "rake the forest" in these days of worsening climate change. And you know what will help that? RAISE THE TAXES ON THE MARGINAL INCOME OVER 10 MILLION (A LOT!!!) so we can pay to hire people and buy machinery!!!!!

Is Trump country really better off under Trump? No. It’s falling further behind. www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/11/18/are-trump-voters-better-off-than-they-were-two-years-ago-especially-compared-to-clinton-voters"Is Trump country really better off under Trump? No. It’s falling further behind. Two years have passed since Donald Trump made his famous campaign promise in disaffected regions across the country: “We are going to start winning again!” For many voters who felt that they had lost ground in recent decades, the candidate argued, a vote for him would be rewarded with renewed prosperity and prominence. It was a classic campaign promise, overly ambitious and cleverly vague. What exactly did “winning” mean? Certainly, many reporters believed voters perceived the promise as an economic one. So let’s measure the promise’s success that way. How have Trump voters fared economically, compared with Hillary Clinton voters?"

RAISE THE TAXES ON THE MARGINAL INCOME OVER 10 MILLION (A LOT!!!) so we can pay to hire people and buy machinery!!!!! You know, Steve Bannon has been on a European roadshow spreading his populist message. I’ve seen a few of the videos. He said that when the tax cuts were first being discussed in the WH, he was advocating a 40% tax on the super wealthy but was talked down. I don’t know if this is true or not, but if true that may have been one of the reasons he was booted out. Even if Trump ran and won as a Democrat, it’s inconceivable he would tax the wealthy at higher rates because it would obviously negatively affect him. At the end of the day, Trump is not a populist no matter how the WH spins it. That whole shpill about the forgotten men and women was merely a contrivance. It was a cheap trick that got him elected but it’s no more than snake oil.

Aaron Blake...
“3 takeaways from Trump’s testy Fox News interview:
-He will attack you regardless of your heroism
-He will find a way to believe whatever he wants and to disbelieve whatever he wants
-Every success is because of him; every failure is in spite of him”
A good assessment of trump.

trump’s take on history is always fascinating...
“Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!..”
“We no longer pay Pakistan the $Billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us, Bin Laden being a prime example, Afghanistan being another. They were just one of many countries that take from the United States without giving anything in return. That’s ENDING!”
The only fools are those who voted for this guy...

Completely off topic, but I just read that when the incoming freshman class of House Reps take office, the GOP Reps will be 90% men, up from 86%. The Democrats on the other hand are going from 41% men to 38%. How is the world can a conservative woman be okay with that?

Can someone give me the Cliff's notes version of why Trump is talking about the Bin Laden raid now? because a navy seal disagreed/was critical of something trump did so trump did what trump does. Attack back and belittle. He then said seal was a Hillary supporter and they should have got Bin Laden sooner. So disrespectful. shorter version: trump is a dick.

If you haven't seen this.... Check this out..... Strange man to say the least.. Politics 11/14/18 7:39pm Read time: 2 minutes Whitaker's Strange Past: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Toilets For Large Trouser SnakesOne of the products sold is a special toilet for the "well endowed" man. Yes, you read that right. By Red Painter Matthew Whitaker is a weird dude. I don't know what else to say anymore. Mother Jones dropped an absolutely crazypants story about a product that Whitaker helped market - a "Masculine Toilet" which apparently had an extra specially designed toilet bowl to help “well-endowed men” prevent their oversized genitalia from hitting the lip of the bowl or --- gack -- the water.
Mother Jones quoted the press release from the company, World Patent Marketing: “The average male genitalia is between 5″ and 6. However, this invention is designed for those of us who measure longer than that.” The press release also mentioned that Matthew Whitaker was on the company's advisory board. His resume's most glowing previous job title was "former Iowa US Attorney and Republican candidate for United States Senate."
Since Whitaker's suspicious jump from chief of staff to Jeff Sessions to Acting A.G., reporters have been combing through his background and finding some bananas stuff. I mean, we are getting close to Infowars "gay frogs" territory here, guys.
In addition to these toilets for men with giant trouser snakes, the company also marketed a “theoretical time travel commodity tied directly to price of Bitcoin.” Mother Jones also reports that they sold Sasquatch dolls and claimed that they had DNA evidence that "proves that Bigfoot does exist.”
Oh, really?
The best of the story - and you guys are going to be SHOCKED by this - authorities discovered that World Patent Marketing was a big old scam. I AM STUNNED. They were shut down and fined $26,000,000....as in MILLIONS. So, $1,000,000 more than Trump University. crooksandliars.com/2018/11/acting-ag-whitakers-past-jobs-include

GOP...
“@gopchairwoman: We are a rule-of-law party, and we have seen from the Democrats that they do not abide by the laws… We are up against a Democrat party that will do anything to win.”
To which a Det. Jake Gitters replied...
“The @gop says "The Democrats don't abide by laws."
Let's look at the scoreboard, folks!
Criminal charges per administration since 1970:
TRUMP: +100 (so far) OBAMA: 0 GWB: 16 CLINTON: 2 GHWB: 1 REAGAN: 26 CARTER: 1 FORD: 1 NIXON: 76
If you're counting:
R's: 220 D's: 3
🤷”
One of the biggest slams against Hillary was the lies she supposedly told. And yet every single day the right tells lie after lie.

I think history will show that not only did America elect a dementia patient, but that many in politics were aware of it, and used it to their advantage.YES. and hopefully they will be judged (poorly) for it, rightfully so.

The episode originally ran on 11/14 and Ricky Gervais was one of the guests. The opening monologue is the funniest thing I have ever seen and goes over the Bigfoot stuff as well as the toilet.

In any case, if ever Mueller hands over some charges against his cabal to the state, turkeys would be the only creatures Trump can pardon.

But her emails.................. Yes her emails!!! Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails about government business on personal account: report BY JUSTIN WISE - 11/19/18 06:53 PM EST Ivanka Trump reportedly violated federal records rules by sending hundreds of emails to government officials on her personal email in 2017, according to a new report from The Washington Post. It said that Trump, a White House adviser and the eldest daughter of the president, sent emails about White House business and her official schedule to administration aides, Cabinet officials and her personal assistants. White House ethics officials discovered this as they reviewed emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies. The agencies were gathering the emails as they prepared to respond to a public records lawsuit. In their review, the officials found that Trump discussed business from the White House while using a private email account, the Post said. ** Trump responded to the finding by saying that she was unaware of some details of the records rules, people with knowledge of her reaction told The Post. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/417532-ivanka-trump-sent-hundreds-of-emails-about-government-business-onShe didn't listen to all of dt's speeches?
