Appointed by GWB?

Wow, I like this guy. I wish he was GWB's SCOTUS pick.

This also goes to show you that picking a judge that you think is "conservative" or "liberal" doesn't always workout.

Trump's bio on whitehouse.gov

This shows how insecure he is about his legitimacy

Mr. Trump won the election on November 8 of 2016 in the largest electoral college landslide for a Republican in 28 years. He won over 2,600 counties nationwide, the most since President Reagan in 1984. Additionally, he won over 62 million votes in the popular vote, the highest all-time for a Republican nominee. He also won 306 electoral votes, the most for a Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Alternative facts, Bowling Green massacre

But guess what.....she will be on all the news channels this weekend talking more crap and the media will let her get away with it.

Instead of worrying about having access to the Trump administration, maybe the media should cut them off until they start telling the truth

Kellyanne's excuse doesn't make sense

She said she meant to say Bowling Green Terrorist. Here is what she said:

"I bet, there was very little coverage — I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized — and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. I mean, most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."

So saying "They were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green Terrorists" doesn't even make sense.

Jobs report

If it is good it is because of Trump, bad it's because Obama

Kellyanne was right

Why did Obama let this happen?

Urban Meyer and JT Barrett are Muslim

If an attack like 9-11

If an attack like 9-11 would have happened on Obama's watch or any Democratic president the republicans would have used it to their advantage. They would have screamed and shouted that Obama didn't keep us safe, that he was weak, that countries don't fear him, how could he let this happen. They would have said that we needed to elect them so that they can protect us. And the media would have bought in to it and pushed that message.

But if a similar attack happened under Trumo or a republican they would push the patriotism memo. And that criticism of the president is bad, and that we need to stick together, and if you criticized then you are anti-American. And that we needed to keep them in office to keep us safe. And the media would buy into that.

Is anyone keeping track of all the stupidity

Threatened to send the Feds to Chicago
Threatened to send military to Mexico
Hung up on Australian prime minister
Put Iran on notice
Threatened to pull ed funding from Cal Berkeley

We are the most powerful nation on earth

But without allies like Australia and Mexico, without a free Ukraine and without support from Muslims in the Middle East we will fall. Trump doesn't understand that.

Let the filibuster die anyway

It seemed to favor republicans anyway. They used it notoriously against Obama and the Democratic majority. While the Dems caved under bush.

And throughout history it seemed to be used to support conservative causes i.e. Strom Thurmond
