Schiff on Trump-Putin call

Trump criticized his predecessors. Congressman Schiff fights back.

Bush, Obama and Clinton may lack your “smarts,” but they didn’t need their staff to tell them DO NOT CONGRATULATE a man who helps North Korea evade sanctions, props up a murderer in Syria, invades his neighbors, and who just used nerve agent in Britain. https://t.co/PIyrthKydu

What happens if Trump fires Mueller?

In my opinion: Nothing.

Democrats will complain but they have no power. Some Republicans will complain but they won’t do anything to discipline Trump such as impeach him. Republicans in Congress know their base supports Trump over them and they will not go against their voters. Republicans are unwilling to pass a law that would prevent Trump from firing Mueller so they won’t do anything after the fact.

Sad!

The real story of the Trump-Putin call

Chris Cillizza of CNN thinks the real story of the Trump-Putin call is that the contents of the call and advice Trump had been given was leaked quickly to the press.

I disagree. The real story is why is Trump unwilling to say anything negative to Putin? For example, why not pressure him to stop meddling in our elections and poisoning people in England? Trump is looking out for Russia’s interests, not ours. I really think they have something on him. Sad!

White evangelicals don’t care what Trump does

They’ll support him through the lawsuits. They have shown that they are willing to ignore his personal conduct.

From the article:

“Survey data from October 2016 underscores that transformation. In a PRRI/Brookings poll, the share of white evangelicals who said an elected official who committed an immoral act in their personal life could still behave ethically and fulfill their duties in their public and professional life rose to 72 percent from 30 percent in June 2011.”

Sad!

Obama congratulated Putin after his 2012 win

Circumstances were different in 2012 – Russia hadn’t meddled in our elections. Also, Obama pointed out problems with the election.

Satire: God tells Michele Bachmann not to run for the Senate (on a billboard)

Check out this billboard.

A Fox News analyst quit and called the network a propaganda machine

The analyst said “said he believed Fox News was knowingly causing harm to the country in exchange for profit.”

Sad!

Trump sucks up to Putin again

Trump congratulated Putin on winning the rigged Russian election. His advisers had recommended that he should not do that.

He didn’t confront Putin on the poisonings in England, Russian meddling in our elections, or their access to our power grid.

I think they leaked the information to the media because they are patriots concerned about Trump’s unwillingness to confront Putin, not because he ignored their advice.

I continue to think Russia has something on Putin. I’m not the only one speculating about this. I am guessing it’s financial dealings, not a pee tape. Sad!

Trump lies about Democrats (again)

How can we have a discussion on issues when one side tells outrageous lies about the positions held by the other side?

At NRCC dinner, Trump argues against Dems. Says they want:
—open borders
—cities to be safe havens for illegal aliens
—to raise taxes
—to release dangerous criminals
—to take over American health care
—take away 2nd Amendment
—and are weak on terrorism and national defense.

The only thing here that has any relationship to the truth is the one about cities being safe havens for illegal aliens (and this is an oversimplification).

It’s infuriating that Trump says Democrats want open borders and are weak on terrorism and national defense. I think a president who sucks up to our enemy Putin is weak on terrorism and national defense.

Sad!
