His administration is killing unusually large numbers of civilians, in violation of U.S. and international law.Killing Civilians in Record NumbersThe Trump administration began to kill civilians over inaugural weekend, with two drone strikes in Yemen that claimed 10 lives. One drone struck three people on a motorcycle. The other hit seven people riding in a car. Neither Trump nor Defense Secretary James Mattis admits to having approved the strikes. It is not clear who authorized them.One week after his inauguration, Trump bemoaned the death of a U.S. Navy Seal in a botched raid he personally ordered in southern Yemen. Trump made no mention of the 30 people, including at least 10 women and children, killed by the U.S. bombers. The attack badly damaged a health facility, a school and a mosque.Over the past month, the U.S.-led coalition has killed an inordinate number... less

Then on whom does The Donald lean for familial and unquestioning loving consistent support? Melania? Very doubtful that she is willing to do for him what Jared and Ivanka have done. What about Trump's other daughter Tiffany? Why not have her live in the White House and take on the duties Ivanka did? Eric and Don Jr are busy running the zillions of companies for The Donald so I guess they're out. On paper anyway. Trump has a judge sister. Maybe she can give up the bench and come to D.C. to hold his hand when things get tough. Maybe all presidents are lonely. Maybe that's part of the job. :( less

I think Mueller is a formidable special counsel and put the fear of GOD in Trump et al and the investigation will be very thorough, honorable and conclusive. How will The Donald sabotage/undermine Mueller? By using Executive Authority and firing him? Would you support that? Is no information better than what may be uncovered? Why?
McConnell admits he doesn't have the votes in the Senate to repeal and replace the Affordable Health Care Act. He can't even get to 50. Now aren't there 50 Republican Senators? Whassup?

Jared apparently did it BEFORE Trump was sworn in and had no stature/authority to do anything remotely like that. We have ONE PRESIDENT AT A TIME in this country. Something of which Trump et al seemed to be very ignorant. So is Jared a smart guy or a fall guy? Why?

I don't know who is a worse messager. The prez or his hapless and witless "spokespersons" who follow his demands and sound just like him only worse. I know. How can that be? Watch and listen and you will hear and see! :)

But he is loyal to the head of state and that is all that counts. Wonder why they call him "trainwreck"? Anyone know?

The person who warns us about believing anything from "unnamed sources" proceeds to tweet about something attributed to "sources close to the White House". Now what are we supposed to believe when he himself calls himself a liar? I dunno but it's down the rabbithole we go into neverland/wonderland/ the first circle of He**. How deep does that hole go? Does anyone know?

Because he doesn't know any better or because he doesn't care to do better? Either way he shows great disdain for the American people. He should give us the best there is. Instead he gives us those who are predictably suckuppy to him no matter what. Why?

Michael Cohen, Trump lawyer extraordinaire, said what I quoted above. If true that means every spouse everywhere can be sexually assaulted by their partners without any charges being brought against them. Marriage confers authority to do whatever the he** you want to your spouse and you are within your legal right? Is that really how it goes or is Michael Cohen an unbelievably ignorantly stupid man who practices law very badly? He comes across as a tough guy who threatens others. Like the mafia concigliere. Whatcha think? Are all of us subject to sexual assault/physical abuse by our partners without recourse to any legal way to charge them and stop them? Does this Michael Cohen spout the law or is he as full of sh** as his client? Inquiring minds wanna know. less

I know we are love, kindness, joy in the flesh, but also sadness, cruelty too :( Do you think we REALLY mean anything in this world? I'm saying if there was no religion, no other story of what 'might' be after we pass, but in this moment as a human, what do we 'Mean'? And wouldn't it be almost lighter in life if we didn't mean so much... if we just 'were' ? I have put SO much pressure on all I do, think or feel, and it becomes overwhelming over the years. I was recently contemplating what if we all really don't have much actual meaning, but are just 'Here'? In a way it is refreshing, b/c I feel I don't have to prove myself to others and feel this constant comparison or competition EVERYone has with each other. What do you think .. ? less
