> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Presidential harassment! I’ll consider taking seriously any of the concerns of the assclowns yammering about “Presidential harassment” (in the form of a fully justified legally conducted investigation into the shady business dealings of a known scofflaw and grifter) as soon as, and not before, any of said assclowns acknowledges and apologizes for their gratuitous and malicious Presidential harassment in the form of throwing prolonged rabblerousing hissy fits about entirely mythical irregularities in Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Apologies for the free verse, it was hard to follow as a single sentence but wasn’t worth breaking out into multiple sentences. ---

The BDTS probably gets the Friends and Family rate, so why not? Plus he can rub shoulders with people who might give him a new job. ---

Gee, Trump must feel this is so unfair after getting away with being a fraud and con man his whole life: **[The battle is on between Trump and his Democratic foes](https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/09/politics/donald-trump-house-democrats-2020-election/index.html)** > [@](#): > > **Trump is not enjoying the new Washington** > > It quickly became clear during the week that the commander in chief, who experienced only the most cursory oversight when Republicans ran both sides of Capitol Hill, is not enjoying his first taste of the new Democratic-led House. > > Trump sought to paint Schiff’s move as the kind of “ridiculous, partisan investigations” he had decried in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. He charged in a tweet that the California Democrat was poring through “every aspect of my life, both financial and personal, even though there is no reason to be doing so … Unlimited Presidential Harassment.” Aw, the nasty Dems are being mean to Trump for “no reason” and the tough guy doesn’t like it. SAD! ---
