I’d be surprised if they are allowed to be in the trumpian presence without having to surrender all recording devices.
From the article:
“I’m sure there are examples of Trump comforting people in need during difficult times, but it’s nevertheless difficult to look past the pattern in which the president’s empathy gap has been on display.”
As to the bolded part, I’d be willing to bet that there is not one.
Trump tweets about employment numbers before official release, moves markets. People have served time in prison for such disclosures. The law says that government officials are suppose to wait an hour after the official release before commenting on them.
Just another day. Sheesh. This guy.
If President PantsOnHead still had a functioning organ, no doubt he’d get a hard-on from seeing how his one little tweet could jerk the market around.
Melanie tweets a coded cry of desperation.
oh, wait, guess not
Trump today, in the Rose Garden after Kim Jong Un’s deputy drove away:
“This was a meeting where a letter was given to me by Kim Jong-Un, and that letter was a very nice letter. Oh would you like to see what was in that letter. I haven’t seen the letter yet. I purposely haven’t opened it… I haven’t opened it.”
More promises with no clue how to pay for them. Cf. more rural broadband internet service.

President PantsOnHead doesn’t have policies. He has no idea what a policy is, how to come up with one, or what to do with one. Let’s stop calling his burps, hiccups, and farts “policies.” Thank you.

“OK, the envelope looked nice. Quality stock. Nice handwriting.”

“OK, the envelope looked nice. Quality stock. Nice handwriting.”
It’s a letter from Melania saying that she is much happier now in North Korea.

If somebody hasn’t already come up with a “Where’s Melania?” picture book, it’s only a matter of time.

He can’t read.
Am I turning into a conspiracy theorist that I think the Melania thing is weird?

What was that the Republicans were saying about picking winners and losers?
The directive comes as the Trump administration considers a plan to order grid operators to buy electricity from coal and nuclear plants to keep them open. The plan would direct regional transmission operators to buy power from coal and nuclear plants for two years to ensure grid reliability, “promote the national defense and maximize domestic energy supplies.”
The Energy Department action, if ordered, would represent an unprecedented intervention into U.S. energy markets.
You really have to admire his commitment to cutting back government regulations.
A draft memo urges federal action to “stop the further premature retirements of fuel-secure generation” from coal and nuclear plants that have struggled to compete with natural gas and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the memo.
This is for fuel-secure reasons. Does Donald Trump think we will need to import sunlight and wind from other countries?

Maybe, he seems to be trying to personally use our country’s supply of both gas and light.

FTFY (he supposedly doesn’t drink)

steatopygia, altering another posters word inside of the quote tags - even when flagged as you did here - is a violation of the board rules about quoting other posters.
Please avoid this in the future.

Today was day 22 of Melania’s disappearance. Rumors are swirling but finally the real story can be told here.
Dr. Ronny had a drinking problem – he was going to lose his job as White House doctor.
Donny had a wife problem – she wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole.
In March, they came up with the perfect plan to solve both of their problems. Dr. Ronny would be promoted to run the VA. He would make a fresh start in a new organization. In return, Ronny would give Melania some “medicine” that had some fatal side effects. This would allow Donny the widower to find a new wife.
The plan didn’t work out exactly as expected.
I think Melania might be having a complete breakdown.
I’ve said it before: I do feel sorry for her, and Barron. Yes, she’s a gold digger and maybe she should have had some idea what kind of shit bag she was marrying, but I don’t think anyone in their wildest dreams could have imagined Trump would have ended up being president and sucking her (and everyone else) into the vortex of his shit tornado. She made a mistake. We all make mistakes.
