President Donald Trump

[DMT]

This guy is like Barry Bonds in his 73 homer year. Every time you think there is just no way he can keep the pace of insanity, he just ups his production. I think we need to required AEE testing for the White House. There is just no way he can keep making history at such a pace without artificial absurdity enhancers. In fact, I am increasing coming to believe that his entire presidency is the horrible side effect of a Douglas Adams' infinite improbability drive usage.

Or, it's evidence that there's a glitch in the matrix.

Careful, the war on drugs is back so prohibition might not be far behind.

And from Spicey:

“I think he’s a little dismayed, as well as a lot of people that we come out here and try to do everything we can to provide you and the American people, with what he’s doing on their behalf, what he’s doing to keep the nation safe, what he’s doing to grow jobs and yet, we see time and time again an attempt to parse every little word and make it a game of gotcha,” Spicer said. “There is where there is a lot of dismay.”

Yeah, I know that witnesses on the stand tend to get a little dismayed when you start pinning them down on their vague, self-serving, unverified bullsh*t. Spicer doesn't know how easy he has it...he isn't under oath, and he can always turn and run out the back door - at least for now.

Or hide in the bushes...

After Spicer spent several minutes hidden in the bushes behind these sets, Janet Montesi, an executive assistant in the press office, emerged and told reporters that Spicer would answer some questions, as long as he was not filmed doing so. Spicer then emerged.

“Just turn the lights off. Turn the lights off,” he ordered. “We’ll take care of this…. Can you just turn that light off?”

Spicer got his wish and was soon standing in near darkness between two tall hedges, with more than a dozen reporters closely gathered around him. For 10 minutes, he responded to a flurry of questions, vacillating between light-hearted asides and clear frustration with getting the same questions over and over again.

My boss graduated from Liberty University today, so I she had the "honor" to listen to Trump give his first commencement speech of his Presidency.

"In America, we don't worship the government, we worship God."

“It is why our currency proudly declares, ‘In God We Trust,'” Trump continued. “And it is why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation, under God, every time we say the Pledge of Allegiance.”

Ugh.

Ugh.

I don't say "under God" when I recite the pledge of allegience, because I'm a traditionalist

"President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.

The partner had not given the United States permission to share the material with Russia, and officials said Trump’s decision to do so endangers cooperation from an ally that has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State. After Trump’s meeting, senior White House officials took steps to contain the damage, placing calls to the CIA and the National Security Agency.

“This is code-word information,” said a U.S. official familiar with the matter, using terminology that refers to one of the highest classification levels used by American spy agencies. Trump “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

Because Russia IS Trumps greatest ally...

I know that the GOP leadership is spineless, and essentially owned by the power brokers, but at some point don't the 1% have to say, "Jesus, enough already, stop!".

We must find out who is the source of this information will be the rallying cry of the white house and republican congress - remember party over country at all costs no matter how devastating
