The Twitler Is At It Again....

he's promoting his son's appearance on Hannity tonight. Says Jr loves his country.

If You Had A Restaurant And Wanted To Honor Don Jr. What Would Your New Menu Item The Nothingburger.

be composed of? What would it look like?

I got to think that there are restaurants all over the country that will begin featuring such an item.

I'm sure it will be a tease piece on the nightly news soon.

And What About Rudy Giuliani?....

When did he look like the cat that ate the canary when he was saying expect a surprise about Hillary's e-mails. I know he said something about getting his info from former FBI agents - but - was it after Jr's meeting with this Russian lawyer that Rudy began his predictions?

I Haven't Heard Much About Rence Priebus And The RNC And Perhaps Their Role....

in this Russian interference. Wouldn't the RNC be a treasure trove of info to provide to the Russians to enable their interference?

I always wondered why Priebus gave up his job with RNC to join Trump's team. Perhaps this might be somewhat of a clue here.

We've Been On One Roller Coaster Ride Since Trump Surprised The World By Winning In November.....

We were high when we thought Hillary would win. We went real low when Trump won. And since then just about every week we were taken high by the lack of people at the inauguration. Taken low as Trump started signing EO's. Taken high by the women's march. Taken low by more EO signings by Trump. Taken high when it looked like Flynn would bring down Trump. Taken low when Trump got a SCOTUS appointment. etc, etc, etc. His disastrous foreign trips.

Every week we seem to be taken in by the MSM and the latest Trump scandal to only let it wither away into the nether world with some new conquest by Trump. Then right back into a high - with now the possibility of Trump Jr. and collusion.

Already I'm hearing that Jr. done no wrong. No collusion. No treason. Hard to prove. Harder to prosecute. So we're being guided back into a low - with the knowledge that nothing of consequence will come of this latest scandal.

What will be next weeks scandal/story that we'll be taken to a new high only to let the boom down on us the following week.

The American People are becoming demoralized by all this up and down. And it doesn't look like it will be stopping any time soon.

I'm getting to the point of surrender. Demoralized. Frustrated. Scared. Angry. Sad.

Is this what we will be having to look forward to going into 2018 and 2020?

Any Speculation Here That The Military Plane That Crashed Was.....

shot down?

All the reports that I've heard so far - say that this plane is a work horse. They can turn off an engine and still fly if one is problematic. They seem to be befuddled as to why this plane went down. Some eyewithnesses said they saw fire at the back of the plane before it crashed.

I Cannot For The Life Of Me Figure Out Why The Repugs Continue To Protect Trump In Light......

of all the damage he's done to the Repug Party.

Why do they keep protecting him; circling the wagons and coming to his aid?

There doesn't seem to be a rational explanation given - lie after lie - scandal after scandal - contradictory tweet after tweet.

The only thing I can imagine is that they know that they will continue to win in 2018 and 2020 - so it doesn't matter to them what Trump does - their jobs and their power base will be protected.

Is the fix in for 2018 and 2020? Do they know that through voter suppression and future help by the Russians - they will continue with their dominance of the Senate, the House, the presidency and the courts?

What are your thoughts on this?

So After All This Talk About Collusion - Today They Are Saying....

it's hard to prove and harder to prosecute?

For how many months were we talking collusion? How many investigations are going on to find out evidence of collusion?

And just today - they are saying it's hard to prove and harder to prosecute?

Come on - are they setting up a - Get Out Of Jail - card for Trump and his comrades?

With Respect To The CBO Analysis On The Repug Healthcare Bill - Did They Comment On Jobs.....

that would be gained or lost if it becomes law?

ACA - because of the number of new Americans that would be covered by it - actually increased jobs in the healthcare sector. If I'm not mistaken - since ACA - the healthcare sector just continually added jobs.

If the Repug bill gets passed - it looks like we'll be going back in the opposite direction. More people losing their health insurance. More people opting not to take insurance because of high premiums.

It seems to me that with that in mind that the healthcare sector would begin to hemorrhage jobs if passed.

Had the CBO addressed this issue in their analysis?
