    Actually, Clinton and Trump have a huge amount in common, when you get right down to it. But, fortunately, it’s all OK in Trump, but totally disgusting in Clinton.

    I’ve noticed my friends who supported Trump are now not mentioning him, but are ragging on Hillary – I want to say, “Get over it! She LOST!”

    NEVER – {a pair of limericks}

    The Donald will NEVER relent, -

    - and his fans will NEVER repent

    that they have sent

    a perp so hell-bent

    on causing America’s descent.

    America Great? Not ag’in; -

    - NEVER ag’in what she’s been.

    She’s been de-constructed,

    by Trumpists abducted,

    knocked out by Trump’s Mickey Finn.

    It’s hard when people have an expectation that a president is ultimately responsible for the results of his own decisions no matter how many times he changes them.

    Sooo…. Liberals think that Obama never blamed anyone for anything? That’s the funniest thing I ever heard. I thought the only word’s Obama knew through his 8 years as president was “Bush did it.”

    Everyone is at fault except for liar racist thief Trump. The GOP wants to destroy the FBI rather than look into the Russian hacking that favored Trump.

    When Republicans aren’t lying they are blaming someone else.

    As conspiracy theorists accuse survivors of the Florida school shooting of being “crisis actors,” President Trump on Saturday retweeted a fringe radio host who once used identical language to peddle hoaxes about the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre in 2012.

    The host, Wayne Dupree, has also repeatedly attacked survivors of the high school massacre in Parkland, Fla., who are pushing for new gun laws after 17 of their schoolmates and teachers were killed with an AR-15 rifle last week.

    Trump has only been in office for a year – and all the good stuff is because of him. The Russians will let us know who to vote for soon, don’t worry.

    This would be better if Toles had alternated the “blames” going out with the “bribes” coming IN!

    Stand with the survivors of the Parkland school shooting…. Speak out in support of sensible weapons regulations and restrictions…. Boycott the NRA, that in itself will hurt them where it hurts the most, in the wallet…… Ban rapid-fire assault weapons like the AK-47 and the AR-15 and the ammo that goes with them because those weapons are weapons for mass murder, not for hunting, not for self protection.!!!! Most importantly, vote for candidates who stand for those principles as their platform. Aren’t you tired of politicians who do not seem to have a backbone?? Aren’t you tired of politicians who do not give a hoot about the people they are supposed to be serving?

    President Trump’s lawyers have long insisted that, despite his public promise to testify to Robert Mueller, their client should not do so because he is a compulsive liar (e.g., the New York Times one month ago: “His lawyers are concerned that the president, who has a history of making false statements and contradicting himself, could be charged with lying to investigators.”). His unstoppable lying is akin to a handicap. Forcing him to speak in circumstances where lying is a crime would be like forcing wheelchair-bound Franklin Roosevelt to dunk a basketball.

    Perhaps reconsidering the merits of this defense, Trump’s legal brain trust is floating two new rationales for why he cannot submit to an open interview. “It would be a travesty to waste his (Mr. Trump’s) time and to set a precedent which would cripple a future president,” a Trump lawyer tells The Wall Street Journal.

    Everybody surely appreciates Trump’s previously undetectable concern for the long-term well-being of the institution he has been trashing. But the second objection, the one about wasting time, seems fairly easy to respond to. While Trump may be terribly busy with his regimen of document study, he also spends four to eight hours per day watching television. A Mueller interview might be scheduled for one of the president’s eight-hour television days, so even if the interview took as long as four hours, it would still leave him free for a robust level of screen time. Indeed, Mueller could even talk to the president while the TV was on, so if Trump grew bored with either the questioning or the shows, he could toggle his attention from one to the other.

    It really seems like the scheduling issue is something Trump could work around, unless somehow he has some other reason to avoid Mueller.

    Donald Trump has incessantly promoted himself as a successful and viable businessman, and this was critical to his success in the 2016 presidential election. But this report presents evidence that this façade was built, at least in part, on ventures used to launder cash generated by criminal activities. Trump’s unscrupulous business dealings and blindness to potential illegality raise serious questions about his suitability to govern the most powerful country in the world.

    A large number of those involved with the Trump Ocean Club in its early phase were Russian and Eastern European citizens or diaspora members. In an interview with NBC and Reuters, Ventura Nogueira said that 50 percent of his buyers were Russian, and that some had “questionable backgrounds.” He added that he found out later that some were part of the Russian Mafia.

    President Donald Trump says he had lunch during the weekend with key leaders of the National Rifle Association as he seeks to address gun violence and school safety.

    Trump is telling the nation’s governors that he had lunch with the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox and expressing surprise that word of the lunch didn’t leak to the media.
