They even used it on Nancy Pelosi. I will be putting out a list of all people who have been so (ridiculously) accused!” Says the person who faced charges of discrimination in 1973........
The Justice Department undertook its own investigation and, in 1973, sued Trump Management for discriminating against blacks. Both Fred Trump, the company’s chairman, and Donald Trump, its president, were named as defendants. It was front-page news, and for Donald, amounted to his debut in the public eye.
“Absolutely ridiculous,” he was quoted as saying of the government’s allegations.
Looking back, Mr. Trump’s response to the lawsuit can be seen as presaging his handling of subsequent challenges, in business and in politics. Rather than quietly trying to settle — as another New York developer had done a couple of years earlier — he turned the lawsuit into a protracted battle, complete with angry denials, character assassination, charges that the government was trying to force him to rent to “welfare recipients” and a $100 million countersuit accusing the Justice Department of defamation. www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/us/politics/donald-trump-housing-race.html

El Paso will not be quiet and neither will I.” Where the heck does he get these ideas from....he's so dumb. 'cuz "O'Rourke" just screams Hispanic. idiot.

Most probably his young( spanish) friends, that he would have had when he was a child growing up in El Passo, would have called him that anyhow even if his family would have chosen not to as it's a pet name for Roberto, the Spanish version of his real name Robert.

From CNN "We had an amazing day, as you know," Trump said in the corridor of an emergency coordination center in El Paso, Texas, his final stop in a city where an anti-immigrant gunman had shot 22 people dead. "The love, the respect for the office of the presidency. It was, I wish you could have been in there to see it."
The man makes me feel sick.

I feel so sorry for the citizens of America. It will take years to recover from this and I can see some personal relationships will never recover.

Who is in charge of our government?!?!?!?! ** The State Department’s top diplomat for Latin American matters has resigned after a dispute with the White House over Guatemalan immigration policy, according to The Washington Post. A senior administration official told the newspaper Kim Breier, assistant secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere, is leaving her post after White House policy adviser Stephen Miller berated her in an email chain for what he perceived as an insufficient defense of the Trump administration’s “safe third country” asylum agreement with Guatemala.Miller told Breier that it was "her job" to defend the agreement, which requires Central American migrants to seek asylum in Guatemala before applying for asylum in the U.S., the official added. The Post notes that it is unclear whether this was a primary cause of her resignation. A second senior official, however, told the newspaper no such email chain exists. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/456674-assistant-secretary-of-state-resigns-over-immigration-policy-reportSure no email chain........ But why would Miller have the right to berate another employee from a different dept? Would that not be the job of Pompeo, her boss (not to berate her)? ************ NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre has warned President Trump against backing a bill to expand background checks for gun purchases in the aftermath of two mass shootings, citing the unpopularity of the measure with his base, The Washington Post reports. According to the Post, administration officials said that LaPierre and Trump spoke on Tuesday. During the exchange, the longtime NRA chief also reportedly took aim at the "bill’s merits,” as the newspaper describes. The conversation came shortly after the president expressed an open mind toward backing legislation seeking an expansion of background checks for gun purchases in the wake of shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that shook the nation last weekend. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who is pressing Trump on legislation to expand background checks along with Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), told the Post that Trump also called him on Tuesday to discuss the measure. Manchin said Trump “was inquisitive” about the bill, “wanting to know why it hadn’t happened.” ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/456659-nra-warns-trump-on-background-checks-report

Well then, I guess he can read. yeah, I guess, when he has to. As long as it's simple words with not too many syllables. But- could he read it to himself WITHOUT mouthing and sounding out the words? My guess is NO. and as to his utter self-absorbedness and making that hospital visit all about HIM, he truly is disgusting and makes me sick to my stomach to listen to and think of how truly empty his soul must be. How can his children and his wife even stand to associate with him at ALL? Who is in charge of our government?!?!?!?! 1) Sean Hannity--or whoever is on Fox when DT is sitting on the toilet; 2) the people who hold DT's ball-- in other words- Putin; and 3) the people who hold the purse strings (the big $$ lobbyists and donors).

Oh goody. So if you believe this, those who consider themselves conservatives/Republicans are ok if the president is a crook as long as he is a Republican President and because of this, checks and balances be damned. Truly how you #MAGA!
From Rachel Maddow Blog..
“In the Trump era, GOP support for checks and balances wanes”
“The Pew Research Center recently conducted a national survey asking Americans whether they believe "problems could be dealt with more effectively if U.S. presidents didn't have to worry so much about Congress or the courts." Fortunately, most of the public rejected such an approach.
But it's worth pausing to note how Republican voters in particular responded to the question.
The survey by Pew Research Center, conducted July 10-15 among 1,502 adults, finds that Republicans' views on this question have changed markedly since last year. About half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (51%) now say it would be too risky to give presidents more power, down from 70% last year.
The share of Republicans who say presidents could operate more effectively if they did not have to worry so much about Congress and the courts has increased 16 percentage points since then, from 27% to 43%.
Among Americans who describe themselves as conservative Republicans, the results are even more dramatic: last year, only 26% of these voters wanted to see a more powerful president, freed from having "to worry so much" about the co-equal branches of government. This year, among self-identified conservative Republicans, that number doubled to 52%.
In other words, it's become increasingly common in GOP circles not just to support Donald Trump, but also to be hostile toward checks and balances that our system of government imposes on him.
The sitting president hasn't been shy about sharing his authoritarian instincts and his sympathy for systems of government in which chief executives largely do as they please. Evidently, Trump's attitudes have started to shape his base's thinking, too.
To be sure, the shift against checks and balances is probably more about party than principle. Most Republican voters were hostile toward the idea of expanded executive power when Barack Obama was in office, and I suspect they'll start opposing the idea again the moment the next Democratic president is inaugurated.
Or put another way, these GOP voters don't necessarily think presidents could do a better job solving problems without "having to worry so much" about Congress and the courts; they simply think Donald Trump could do a better job with expanded authority.
One can hope that Republican support for a Madisonian model of government will rebound once the Trump era comes to a close.
But the Pew Research Center's report got me thinking about our earlier coverage of remarks former Supreme Court Justice David Souter delivered in 2012 -- long before anyone envisioned Trump's rise to power -- about the dangers and cost of "civic ignorance."
"I don't worry about our losing republican government in the United States because I'm afraid of a foreign invasion. I don't worry about it because I think there is going to be a coup by the military as has happened in some of other places. What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough, as they might do, for example, with another serious terrorist attack, as they might do with another financial meltdown, some one person will come forward and say, 'Give me total power and I will solve this problem.'
"That is how the Roman republic fell. Augustus became emperor, not because he arrested the Roman Senate. He became emperor because he promised that he would solve problems that were not being solved.
"If we know who is responsible, I have enough faith in the American people to demand performance from those responsible. If we don't know, we will stay away from the polls. We will not demand it. And the day will come when somebody will come forward and we and the government will in effect say, 'Take the ball and run with it. Do what you have to do.'
"That is the way democracy dies. And if something is not done to improve the level of civic knowledge, that is what you should worry about at night."
Seven years after Souter made those comments, nearly half of Republican voters -- and a narrow majority of conservative Republican voters -- believe an American chief executive could deal with problems more effectively if he or she "didn't have to worry so much about" competing branches of the American government.
Souter warned of a person, with little regard for democratic norms and political institutions, who could come forward seeking power, assuring the public that he'll solve our problems, exploiting fears and civic ignorance.
The hypothetical person the retired justice described would presumably tell the electorate that only he could keep Americans safe. Only he could fix the political system. Only he could "make possible every dream you've ever dreamed."
Souter's warnings were striking in their foresight.
"That is the way democracy dies. And if something is not done to improve the level of civic knowledge, that is what you should worry about at night."

This is a NONpolitical job!
** Deputy Director of National Intelligence Sue Gordon is resigning from her post amid turnover at the top of the agency, President Trump announced Thursday.Trump added in a later tweet that National Counterterrorism Center Director Joseph Maguire will serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. In a note accompanying her formal letter, Gordon wrote that she offered her resignation "as an act of respect & patriotism, not preference." "You should have your team," she wrote, making clear it was not her choice to move on."I am confident in what the Intelligence Community has accomplished and what is poised going forward," she wrote in her letter. "Know that our people are our strength, and they will never fail you or the Nation. You are in good hands." Gordon, a career intelligence official, was set to ascend to the top post as director of national intelligence following the departure of Dan Coats later this month. But the White House had been weighing removing her in favor of installing a Trump loyalist, despite concerns from Capitol Hill, where Gordon is widely respected.The move further throws into chaos the leadership atop DNI, which is tasked with overseeing the nation's various intelligence agencies. ** thehill.com/policy/national-security/456775-deputy-intel-director-leaving-trump-administration
