NOW every breath they take, every deal they make, everything they ever done or said? All fair game. All up for grabs. All will be scrutinized. Dearest daddy did this to them. He got to be prez. They get to be ruined reputationally. I dunno. If I did that to my family I would have a hard time forgiving myself.

He misses going out to dinner whenever he wants. Living at Trump Tower or Mar A Lago is much more his cuppa tea. I think he should have all the tea he can hold don't you? My heart bleeds for the guy. What a demotion! From unfettered Billionaire to president? I mean who could take that?

Truth is very scary and can totally undermine everything his life is based on so truth/at all costs/must be STOPPED! It's the how that we will find out. A delay in the timing of the testimony? Stomach upset for Comey? Flu for Comey? Something else to sideline Comey that doesn't seem suspicious? Stonewalling by all the members of the committee because of damaging dossiers on everyone who was anyone to keep them all under his thumb? Trump is no slouch. Just like J. Edgar Hoover. He probably has lotsa bad stuff on everyone and is threatening them or their families if they let the testimony take place. You read it here. I won't say I told you so. I'm saying it NOW! I told you so! :) less

Sean chastises the media for using the worlds "travel ban" because it misrepresents what it really is. Really? So how does that square with your boss Sean? Does he know he is misrepresenting what he really means when HE SAYS TRAVEL BAN? Why don't you tell him and us what the worlds REALLY MEAN? C'mon Sean. You must know. You know what the words don't mean so you have to know what the words mean? Right? Otherwise you are pulling words out of your derriere aren't you? less

You have to decide before the fact not after. Wonder what nationalists will do when their isolationist stances bite them in the a** and they're out there all alone on their struggling to survive and no one gives a dam*?

He needs to hold his "gatherings of like-minded folks" in huge stadiums so he can continue to brag about and boast about how many attended. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! LOCK HER UP! How can he possibly top that? Let him go back to what he is good at. Making promises. He doesn't have to deliver on them ever. Just keep making them. What could go wrong? less
Could they possibly be the Devil's earthly representatives? How else do you account for them and what they are capable of doing and actually do to those they "serve"?

We are way worse off than we've ever been before and it's getting worser and worser and worser. Anyone care or c'est la vie, whatever will be will be? Why? :(

So we are paying these folks to investigate the folks we elected or that were appointed. How is that workin' for us? Who is doing the people's business? Who is watching out for us? Who has time for anything but attacks/tweets/insults/accusations?

He has an opinion on everything and not knowing what the he** he is talking about never shuts him up. No one around him loves him enough to control him either. No wonder he eats, gains weight and is lonely. He is clearly feared and unloved.

So far he is walking a very thin line trying to avoid confrontation with the absurdities voiced by Trump. One day he will stop avoiding it and deal with it openly. How long will it take Trump to react and fire him? McMaster and Kelly caved and now are no different than any of the other toadies servicing Trump's agenda. Will Mattis roll over too or will he never go that low? SIGH. :(

They gotta find someone among "the enemy" to blame fpr everything that goes wrong don't they? Isn't that what political parties are all about? Playing the blame game? What else do they spend their money on or their time or their energy or their words?

Of course that is a childish attempt at whitewashing evil that surrounds us TODAY and has nothing to do with what happened in prior administrations. Nothing at all. But it is all they got because THEIR GUY is doing exactly what they elected him to do. Destroy the America we knew so he can make it "better". Do you buy? Why?

Besides which you make a choice. It is a disaster. You say that another choice would have been more disastrous. You cannot possibly know that. Yet some believe that what they don't know and never will but can only imagine definitely would be worse. Where does that kind of "thinking" originate? You can't know what you don't know and never will. You simply can't. Pretending you can/do doesn't make it so. Yet on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on they go..doing exactly that. Oy vey! :( What a revoltin' development! :( less

I've worn an orlon sweater (synthetic and very cheap) and I've worn cashmere (a gift) and I will tell you when I wore the cashmere sweater I did not feel the same as when I wore the orlon. I'm not sure about the why. How important to you is the feel of the material on your skin whether it be cashmere or silk or cotton or wool? Why?
