SummerSnow's JournalThe word for 2017 is 'dotard'
Ok, so Trump seems to always praise another
country healthcare laws. Then he tries to hurt Americans with his. America first? GTFOOH
Trump says he will 'revisit' DACA if Congress does not act.
Ok, What do you think this 'revisit' will include?
Boo freaking hoo... be careful for what you wish for.
President Obama tried to work with House and Senate Republicans for 8 years. From the moment he was elected they smirked he will be a one term President and they would never work with him. They sat back and skated for 8 years and they did not do their job. Instead, they treated Obama with such disrespect and disdain. It was the norm on the Hill.
Now, 45 is in the Oval Office and he is giving them hell. 
Letter Obama wrote to 45 on Inauguration day...
Dear Mr. President -
Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and all of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure.
This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.
First, we've both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune. Not everyone is so lucky. It's up to us to do everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard.
Second, American leadership in this world really is indispensable. It's up to us, through action and example, to sustain the international order that's expanded steadily since the end of the Cold War, and upon which our own wealth and safety depend.
Third, we are just temporary occupants of this office. That makes us guardians of those democratic institutions and traditions -- like rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection and civil liberties -- that our forebears fought and bled for. Regardless of the push and pull of daily politics, it's up to us to leave those instruments of our democracy at least as strong as we found them.
And finally, take time, in the rush of events and responsibilities, for friends and family. They'll get you through the inevitable rough patches.
Michelle and I wish you and Melania the very best as you embark on this great adventure, and know that we stand ready to help in any ways which we can.
Good luck and Godspeed,
BO

WhiteHouse: "We're looking at housing "solutions" in Texas.
FEMA has trailers. Remember when they used them and right wingers used this as a conspiracy theory about the govt. Watch they use these trailers.
FEMA camps conspiracy theory-The FEMA camps conspiracy theory holds that the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison US citizens in concentration camps.[1][2][3] This is typically described as following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme versions, large numbers of US citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established.
Fears of FEMA declined in the early 2000s as foreign terrorists were perceived as the major threat. However, the late-2000s recession and the 2008 election of Barack Obama has renewed opposition to the federal government. In this context there has been a resurgence in the militia movement and, with it, the FEMA camps conspiracy theory.[22] This time, however, the theory has been able to reach more mainstream right-wing circles while it had previously been confined to the far-right. FOX News personality Glenn Beck, for example, devoted airtime to it on three shows, saying that he could not debunk it (although he later stated that he did not believe the theory).[23] Emails from the magazine National Review have also promoted the theory.[24] Sitting Congresswoman Michele Bachmann alluded to the theory while in office,[25] as have other Republican Party politicians.[26]

**BREAKING: U.S. Orders Russia to Close Consulates in New York, D.C. and San Francisco

The United States is requiring Russia to close its consulate in San Francisco and two annex buildings in Washington, D.C. and New York City, the State Department said on Thursday, in response to the Kremlin's decision to shrink the U.S. diplomatic mission in Russia.
Last month Moscow ordered the United States to cut its diplomatic and technical staff in Russia by more than half, to 455 people, after Congress overwhelmingly approved new sanctions against Russia.
"We believe this action was unwarranted and detrimental to the overall relationship between our countries," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement on Thursday."In the spirit of parity invoked by the Russians, we are requiring the Russian Government to close its Consulate General in San Francisco, a chancery annex in Washington, D.C., and a consular annex in New York City," Nauert said. "These closures will need to be accomplished by September 2."
Someone, anyone...
Why does Joe Scarborough always call Trump a NY Democrat? There is nothing liberal or democratic about him.
