Trump on fire today!

Trump going to meet Kim Jung Un. This is good.

And the tariffs are good.

Most people think the tariffs are dumb. Nothing like sticking it to our allies and then refusing to impose any sanctions on Russia at all.

Trump is Putin's dream come true.

Don’t confuse passion with anger. Some people have been posting nonsense and emotion driven garbage for weeks. If all they can offer are moronic posts and twitter comments, maybe they shouldn’t be part of the discussion. Maybe they’d be better suited marching along the parkland bozos.

Irony alert. I mean...seriously.

You're just as toxic as they come, and just like Buzz you seem acutely unaware of it. Completely oblivious.

But the topper is referring to those marching against gun violence as "parkland bozos." What a fucking little creep you are. A sad little man.

For Christ sakes, the media scooped 3-4 kids from this school who share their political point of view and gave them a 24/7 news platform and spotlight.

Share their political point of view? Since when is it political to want to end gun violence in our schools? 

These kids organized this themselves...



The teenage strategy sessions that built an anti-gun movement out of the trauma of Parkland in one week.

Back in Trumpland:

Special counsel wants documents on Trump, numerous campaign associates

WASHINGTON — The grand jury investigating alleged collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign has sent a witness a subpoena seeking all documents involving the president and a host of his closest advisers, according to a copy of the subpoena reviewed by NBC News.

According to the subpoena, which was sent to a witness by special counsel Robert Mueller, investigators want emails, text messages, work papers, telephone logs and other documents going back to Nov. 1, 2015, 4½ months after Trump launched his campaign.

The witness shared details of the subpoena on condition of anonymity. The news site Axios reported Sunday that a subpoena was sent to a witness last month.

In addition to the president, the subpoena seeks documents that have anything to do with these current and former Trump associates:

Steve Bannon, who left the White House as chief strategist in August.
Michael Cohen, a personal lawyer for Trump who testified before congressional investigators in October.
Rick Gates, Trump's former deputy campaign manager, who pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and lying to the FBI.
Hope Hicks, who resigned last week as Trump's communications director.
Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager until June 2016.
Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign manager and Gates' business partner, who pleaded not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy and making false statements last week.
Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.
Keith Schiller, a former bodyguard for Trump who left as director of Oval Office operations in September.
Roger Stone, a longtime Republican political operative and Trump campaign adviser who sources have told NBC News is the focus of investigators interested in his contacts with WikiLeaks during the campaign.

Once Hicks' resignation takes effect in the next few weeks, Cohen will be the only person listed in the subpoena who hasn't left the employment of Trump or of the White House.

Katy Tur reported from Washington. Alex Johnson reported from Los Angeles.

It doesn't have to be so black and white. Yes previous generations laid the groundwork for a good life, but they also fucked shit up. These kids just saw 17 of their friends  mowed down in school, they're allowed to and right, to point out our failures. Especially as it relates to our nutty gun culture and the legislators who fail children in this country daily.

Edit: You are being a little snowflakey-get-off-my-lawn here on this one. Leave that to the resident curmudgeons. 16

Apparently Mueller was brutal with Hope Hicks. Incredibly nasty and bullying. Maybe that was the cause of Trump going off on Sessions.

Where did you hear this? Given everything I've read about Mueller, I find that difficult to believe.

Church freaks with guns:




Kushner looking like he's in really deep shit. Ivanka now too has come under scrutiny.

It's being reported that Trump's pal dumped millions in stocks just before his tariff announcement.

Of course there is more, there is always more...

(CNN)Even by President Donald Trump's frenetic standards, the events of the last 48 hours have been insane.


Because no one could keep track of it all, we -- me and the one and only Brenna Williams -- made a list. Here it is:

White House communications director Hope Hicks resigned.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is looking into Donald Trump's financial maneuvers prior to his announcing for president.

Trump publicly attacked Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Again.

Trump convened a conversation with senators and House members on gun safety in which he pooh-poohed a House-passed bill that grants states reciprocity on conceal and carry and seemed open to a comprehensive gun control measure.

We learned that Kushner has been stripped of his top secret security clearance, hamstringing his ability to oversee his broad portfolio of responsibilities within the White House.

Hicks testified before the House Intelligence Committee in relation to its investigation into Russia's attempted meddling in the 2016 election and acknowledged that she has told white lies in service of Trump.

The Washington Post reported that four foreign countries -- Israel, United Arab Emirates, Mexico and China -- had assessed that Kushner was vulnerable to manipulation due to his complex financial interests.

Longtime Javanka confidant Josh Raffel announced he was leaving the White House.

It emerged that the Department of Housing and Urban Development spent $31,000 to replace furniture in the office of Secretary Ben Carson.

A political appointee at the Interior Department resigned after CNN's K-File found a series of anti-gay and anti-Muslim comments she made via Facebook and Twitter.

Trump announced the hiring of Brad Parscale as his 2020 campaign manager.

Trump sent a flurry of tweets on Mueller's ongoing Russia investigation -- including one that read simply: "WITCH HUNT!"

US Cyber Command chief Adm. Mike Rogers told members of Congress that Trump had not authorized him to disrupt Russian attempts to meddle in future US elections.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty to an array of (new) bank fraud and money laundering charges brought against him by Mueller.

The White House parted ways with Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a senior adviser to first lady Melania Trump. Wolkoff's event-planning business was paid more than $26 million for its work on Trump's inauguration.

And brace yourself: It's only Wednesday.

That’s who we have running the country, soulless business men whose only real talent is making money at all costs.

This story just broke today:


Kushner’s Business Got Loans After White House Meetings

Apollo, the private equity firm, and Citigroup made large loans last year to the family real estate business of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s senior adviser.
