Republican Senator Ben Sasse:
“Mr. President:
Are you recanting of the Oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment?”
The Director of the National Background Investigations Bureau told members of Congress that he has never seen so many “mistakes” as in Jared Kushner’s multiple security clearance request attempts.

“Just curious. It’s not as if I’m going to do anything about it, I just want to know if I should act all pious and troubled or not.”
Worded like that, he took an oath to defend the First. Doesn’t that imply that the rest of them are fair game? Especially that potentially pesky 25th?
I think they come as set, unless Republicans think they can govern à la carte (that’s foreign).
Well, he promised to defend Article 12, so we’re good there.
We truly live in a world where no matter how much someone is demonstrated to be a hypocrite, it will never make any difference.
“Trump laughs and jokes during solemn “Retreat” ceremony honoring flag while on military base”
In feeble defense, that appears to have been due to his ignorance of the significance of the ceremony. But it’s telling that his first thought was that it was all about him.
He…he thinks that when the stock market goes up, the national debt goes down? What?
Is it really that easy to buy a degree from an Ivy League business school?
I guess so, since his negotiating tactic with Mexican leaders over funding the wall was him whining that he couldn’t live with their refusal to pay for it.
Now he’s about ready to completely rip up NAFTA without any sort of replacement. He’s also apparently telling Canada that he’ll have a NAFTA with Canada but not Mexico (Isn’t that called a bilateral trade agreement?). Trump is set to make Mexico a long-term enemy of the US and he’s making Trudeau look like a weakling and embarrassing Canada in the process.
He’s also now apparently going to kill the insurance marketplace without any sort of replacement or backup plan. Interestingly enough, this piece that criticizes Herr Trump is written by Ramesh Ponnuru, who’s made a living by being a knee-jerk partisan hack. I guess republitards are just now beginning to figure out that their investments - and those of millions of other dumbasses who drank republican kool aid for all these years - are about to take a nosedive.
Meanwhile, Trump is also going to remove any sort of credibility and leverage to propose a deal with North Korea by impulsively ending the Iranian nuclear deal.
I think now even conservatives are starting to figure out that Trump is a master con artist and that he was never a businessman; he’s just a billion dollar fraud, propped up by shady investors around the globe (Russia). Trump can’t actually make anything; he just breaks stuff. America has elected a 10-year-old president.
Do you think Republicans would be more willing to jump ship if the rest of us solemnly promise to only say, “I told you so” one time?
One would think with the number of military types that he has put in the White House, that one of them would have tipped him off about this. But if they did, I suspect it went in one ear and meeting no resistance, went out the other.
You could always check the recent activity of Breitbart, InfoWars, StormFront, and Fox and Friends for clues about what Trump thinks is going on in the world.
Or, perhaps the comments are like Trumps “estimates” of crowd size—simply baseless.
No, no…that would be petty and narcissistic. He thought it was about something much more important: ratings.
(My god–how many times has the word “ratings” escaped his lips? It boggles the mind.)
But he didn’t kneel so that makes it okay.
I read this tasty little nugget in the linked article:
What the ever living fuck? Tell me that’s not something Duterte or General Amin would say?
Bolding mine.
Anything else you hang-doggedly agree with him on?
I think it was reported that he was very depressed being president at one point. I also am depressed about that.
