if he's making moves on the domestic side and actively talking about it at least the front office can say "the president has made it clear in what he's focused on". right now, its clear he's focused on the Russian investigation. Like i said, it's a fire, but he's tossing gas on it. It might burn down the house or do nothing if it's left alone, but right now he's doing the worst thing possible, shining a light on it with his twitter. I gave the Bill Cosby example for a reason, he hasn't said shit since the story dropped, it's still big news, its just not an easy headline. this isn't the election, free press isn't going to win him anything, its going to directly impede his progress with what he wants to get done.

i'm not sure we could even predict what the press' long term reaction would be to silence on Russia from trump because, well, it's never happened. he's been a fucking loud mouth on it since the election happened. but if he starts forwarding an infrastructure package, focusing on health care reform, the wall, gun issues, etc, they will take that bait. he'll still get slammed but it IMO would be much better. it's not like Obama was covered well during the phase of implementation of Obamacare, but he got it through.

lol what a headline!

No one is accepting his job offers, so he has to go down his rolodex and see who's willing to submit. Only the best people for donnie. Though lately it appears he's using the alternative definition of best .

So trump throws his deputy AG under the bus and blames him for firing comey. And now rosenstein is saying he needs to recuse himself like sessions did.
This was the original story the white house pushed, that rosenstein suggested trump fire comey, and then trump came out and said he did it all on his own.
Now he's back peddling to double down on the previous derp.

Mueller hires 13 additional lawyers to the team, with plans to hire more.
Trump's own lawyer has now hired a lawyer. How soon until that guy needs legal representation too?


At this rate, this is how the trial is going to go.

Who knew that when trump said he was going to increase jobs he actually meant lawyers and not manufacturing jobs!

In other news, Sens. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Corey Booker (D-New Jersey) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) introduced a bill that would end the federal prohibition of medical marijuana and take steps to improve research. However, I bet Sessions is going to put a stop to that.

"Trump hires African American woman, increases diversity of his team."
That's what the headline would look like if Trump had the media on his side like Obama did.

#pretendvictimization

True patriots, hopefully Trump stops sessions crusade to roll back pot proceedings. I'm just glad Obama did nothing hands on with pot, if he did Obama would roll it back Cuba style just to "drain the swamp"...



excuse me sir but "fake" is to be used for all instances of "not real"

Obama would need to be hella stoned to do that

Well he declined to step in while states legalized it, some states even had disputes about pot spilling over borders. There's just nothing with his name on it.

Time spent in office before reported Federal criminal investigation of conduct:

Bill Clinton-1835 days.
Richard Nixon-1580 days.
Donald Trump-145 days.

Drumpf's personal lawyer just hired an Attorney.


Nothing to see here.....
