Our President can’t be bothered to read anything except TV schedules, apparently. Of the "mincing no words" school of thought: @JunckerEU on @POTUS/Paris. "Not everything in int'l agreements is fake news." –> pic.twitter.com/1IC73eXkWx — Hallie Jackson (@HallieJackson) May 31, 2017 I thought George W. Bush was unintelligent, but compared to Trump GWB is a Mensa …
Let’s have something pretty to see and listen to instead. And be sure you bring your covfefe to the barn-raising!
If it weren’t so deadly serious, I’d burst out laughing at this idiotic remark from our “President:” “The President also slammed reporters who include the phrase “sources say” in their stories.” Way back in June of 2016 the Post analyzed a certain way of speaking candidate Trump used to avoid accusations of lying: Trump frequently …
Allman died today of unspecified causes after several years of health issues. He co-founded the Allman Brothers Band with his brother Duane in 1969 and cut several hugely successful albums. The band suffered the loss of Duane to a motorcycle accident in 1971 and then the loss of bassist Berry Oakley at almost the same …
Josh Marshall thinks the following: “Putin wants a fragmented Europe; Trump does too.” Marshall bases that on Trump’s behavior today at the NATO meeting, as well as his and his team’s behavior at a meeting of NATO/EU leaders where he berated the Germans for selling too many cars in the United States.

On the eve of a special election (literally; Montana votes tomorrow) the last thing a candidate for office should do is assault a reporter. Apparently the reporter had the temerity to ask Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate for the House seat vacated by newly-elevated-to-Secretary-of-the-Interior Zinke, just how he felt about the Republican plan to replace …
Reading this section of Trump’s speech to the heads of Arab countries the other day takes me back to the period immediately following the 9/11 attacks. But no discussion of stamping out this threat would be complete without mentioning the government that gives terrorists all three—safe harbor, financial backing, and the social standing needed for …
Let’s not kid ourselves. The budget that’s going to be announced tomorrow was prepared by OMB Director Mick Mulvaney and his staff with little if any input from the President. It’s a real horror show for the social safety net Americans have grown accustomed to, but more than that it’s built on lies. Follow this …
This may not quite be bribery. It is certainly hypocrisy. Also, for a family so concerned with their name and brand, shouldn’t they realize how it would look for Ivanka and her old man announcing this at the same time he’s signing an arms deal with the country which provided 19 of the 20 perpetrators …
And Mayor Mitch Landrieu explains why they should. Congratulations to the city, its people, its politicians and its Mayor on a job well done.
