CNN nails trump in Headline....

Last edited Sun Feb 18, 2018, 05:33 PM - Edit history (1)




West Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)President Donald Trump, ensconced in his opulent private club of Mar-a-Lago this weekend, had a screed of combative thoughts.

None, however, offered answers.

Here in South Florida, the weekend air was filled with raw emotion in the wake of the deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook. Local television broadcasts featured searing calls to action and demonstrations from students and parents alike.

Trump, inside his estate and restrained from golfing for two straight days for fear of bad optics, was seemingly following along - and unleashed on Twitter.

Hes the perfect Manchurian candidate for a smarter conniving leader like Putin.

Because he is too stupid to know how he is being used, and too arrogant to think he can be ever manipulated. This businessman that wrote(?) The Art of the Deal, is the biggest mark in history. Lend him money that American banks won't anymore, contribute to his campaign through the NRA, let him come to Moscow and sleep with whatever model he wants to, tell him he is the smartest, handsomest, bestest American President they have ever seen in their lifetimes, and he'll bend over backwards for you, and frontwards if need be. And the beauty of it is...he won't have a clue what's happening.

That's what I'm afraid of. That he may very well be found innocent because of his own ignorant narcissism. That in his mind, he got all this help without even asking, because of the obvious reason.....He's the best! Why wouldn't they? The perfect stooge.

Associated Press | October 27, 2016

Speaking at a rally in Springfield, Ohio, Trump took issue with Clinton’s criticism of the Russian strongman, who has been denounced for his military assertiveness and anti-democratic tendencies.

‘‘She speaks very badly of Putin, and I don’t think that’s smart,’’ Trump said. ‘‘How do you speak so badly of someone?’’

Trump has been repeatedly criticized for failing to denounce the Russian leader and saying that he’d be willing to work with him to fight Islamic State militants.

Trump is also continuing to criticize Clinton’s judgment and stamina, saying ‘‘she’s definitely a low-energy person.’’

The Russians have infiltrated deep into our government, is my guess. Well, deep into the executive and legislative branches. Maybe not the judiciary that much (except for Trump appointments).

Just how my 9th grade Civics teacher told us a takeover would happen.

It's 260 days before we can have a chance at real impeachment and conviction.

Gotta keep plowing on.
