Clearly a serial abuser. Wonder why he wasn’t offered a cabinet position? He was qualified and had experience.

That’s probably because those shootings aren’t being covered by Matt Drudge at present. Seriously, go check out Drudge’s page right now - the lead story is “Vegas Deals Pot”. 2nd story? “Inside Ivanka’s World” The only current story covering violent crime in the USA is this one: “Illegal [sic] allegedly rapes mom in front of children”.

:rolleyes:

Admit it: Whenever Trump is screaming “Look at me, look at me, look at me!”, you too start to look for news he doesn’t want us to notice.

Good: Trump donates a paycheck for Civil War battlefield preservation.  
Bad: He wants to cut the Interior Dept., which runs the Natl. Park Service, by almost 11%.

The US Women’s Golf Open is being held at Trump golf club in New Jersey. Trump announced he will be attending, therefore taking all of the press for himself and off the tournament.

He’s divided the country, he’s got people believing anything EXCEPT the facts, he’s **sold us out to the Russians** , he’s still got that Muslim ban in “progress”, he’s still trying to sabotage Obamacare, he stuffed the cabinet with Goldman Saks, Exxon and Nazis, he appointed people who want to destroy various agencies as HEAD of those agencies, he gave a few million dollars to Carrier to “save” jobs that went away anyhow, alienated all our former allies, etc.

He’s done “a few” things… it just isn’t anything good.

Trump will be there, goosing the contestants with his favorite putter.

Thank you for re-animating this thread. I can’t imagine how it fell off the page.

Wouldn’t it be something if all the players refused to play at the course, whether Trump shows or not? If the twerp shows, then the result is as you state. If the cretin doesn’t show, the event is still connected to him.

What event was that I saw on CCTV news here during which Occupy White House was standing at attention and trying to render a military hand salute while a military color guard passed? And did I mess up searching here? I distinctly remember President Obama getting practically crucified (metaphorically) for “improper saluting”. I can’t find any posts reaming the orange one for this. Where’s the outrage from those critics of President Obama towards the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania?

Be prepared for the trumpeters to come in and pretend it’s not a Muslim ban _even though their hero tweeted that’s exactly what it is_.

No doubt that’s their view lately. Funny thing, though; Trump’s not really a republican.
