Conversely, the second one of them is a highly-opinionated married person aged 70-something with strongly challengeable political viewpoints, someone who has made comments about other people's bodies and about people's looks and about people's worthiness based on attractiveness or lack thereof, whose spouse is less verbal publicly, who has d... less

But I was thinking of something else: What about his IQ returns? Trump makes a lot of IQ. Haven’t the champions of liberal democracy always done that? Anyway, he says things like, “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure,it’s not your fault.” The Republican presidential nominee tweeted that, and I have preserved his characteristic punctuation. As for feeling “stupid or insecure” — I think that psychiatrists speak of projection. Or is it transference? Trump also tweeted, “I know some of you may think I’m tough and harsh but actually I’m a very compassionate person (with a very high IQ) with strong common sense.” Thanks for the parenthetical, big guy. Since he makes so much of IQ, and boasts that his “is one of the highest,” maybe Tr... less

Where is the line you draw for your beloved prez? Do you have one or does he own you lock, stock and barrel and everything you used to be before he took over?

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! :)
