They should be seriously embarrassed on how trivial they were in their protests. I had forgotten a couple of them.

With Air Force One behind him, President Trump speaks during a campaign rally last month at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport in Newport News, Va.

Exactly how much did this little stunt cost us, including occupation of a section of a major airport?

IMO, this practice should be illegal. Presidents have enough campaign privileges with the bully pulpit.

be a FauxNews watcher and not notice over time you are being played for a complete and utter fool? The term “ Despicable Deplorable” seems relevant to me.

Faux News is going to propagandize one way or another.

I was watching "537 Votes" (HBO) about the 2000 election, and I was reminded of the Elian Gonzalez nonsense at the start of it. I had almost totally forgot about that over-blown story. So many people can get riled up about almost nothing, and the media is there to fan the flames. It was apparently right-wing Cuban-Americans on Miami radio stations who got it started.

11. The cost of Obama's Secret Service protection.

My RW brother was bitching and moaning several years ago about the cost to taxpayers of Obama's Secret Service protection. I thought that the fact that he couldn't come up with anything more scandalous than that about the Obamas showed how remarkably scandal-free the Obama administration was. And how irrational the Obama haters were and still are.
