President Obama said it best when he pointed out that the presidency doesn’t change you. It simply amplifies the person you are.
I’ve never *not *been disgusted by Trump. Now I’m even more disgusted, as well as aghast at the position that we, the people, have given him in to take down our country.
That’s the really sad thing. Trump is a symptom, not a cause.

Boone Pickens and others – prevail in their warped, selfish vision for our country, we will no longer be our country.

As much as I would like it to be true, I think it’s a way for Trump to prove to the idiots in this country that anything that the media (other than Fox) reports about him is a lie.

Wow, the shit is really hitting the fan this afternoon. I can’t believe the fan blades can actually turn anymore as much shit as it’s taken this week.
Just since Air Force One left for Saudi Arabia:
“Comey is a nut job and this will take the pressure off the investigation.”
“This reaches the highest levels in the West Wing”
"The FBI believes there is a coverup. (The last one just came out and is based on the Senate’s briefing from Rothstein. He didn’t say it explicitly but multiple Senators say that’s the only logical conclusion based upon what he did say)
