    He intentionally keeps pounding the same message ".........the media lies, fake news, evil...."
    and his followers only remember what he keeps repeating. Sad on his part and very sad
    on the part of Americans who believe such message discipline. He is banking on, and rightly so,
    that most Americans do not know how to think!

    And BTW, kudos to John McCain to call out Trump........on his suppression
    of the press is the beginnings of how dictators get started. Hmmm.
    Interesting mention.

    As true today as it was stated over 200 years ago, by George Washington POTUS #1....

    "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty."

    ...the Trump administration has implemented a new immigration plan...hopefully, they got it right this time.

    ...also noticed what seemed to be a much different attitude and demeanor by Sean Spicer when interacting and talking with the press...very refreshing.

    ..also liking Trump's new NSA.........Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster is a no nonsense guy who's not afraid to speak his mind and is not a "yes man"...and should do very well in his new role.

    McMaster as a tank warfare expert has got to concern the Russians, nice pick.

    I have a feeling I'm gonna be seeing more Americans in Germany once NATO ponies up for it.

    ...we've been footing the bill for most of the other NATO countries for far too long...if we're going to continue to be "the policemen of the whole world" we should be compensated for it.

    Bravo on blowing up (with expediency), the transgender bs obuma/pelosi xtreme lib defeat in public schools....now if a few million peeps in Caly would wake up and realize Nancy Pelosi does not reflect any Caly citizen in Congress, ... perhaps the biggest embarrassment in D.C.,...

    ...Matts, the thing that puzzles me about transgenders is since when did .03% (not 3% but .03%) become the voice of reason in this country and why are they allowed to force their will on the on the other 99.97% of the population?...I'm sorry, but if someone chooses to arbitrarily change their sex that is their choice and not their "right".

    ...and that is the main problem with liberals...they think that just because they are citizens they thus also have the "inalienable right" to do anything they choose.

    ^^^....

    your right 59, and you've made a great point. Even if it were say 5 full percent, who felt this was a legit issue, 5.0% would not- (imo) be legit enough to take any action for this to become Obuma law. Yet, How in the Hell did this make law with such a minor hiccup of peeps lobbying for it, LGBT payola....????

    this is such a fkd up nation anymore, at least in this neck of the woods, laws like toilet paper flies off its spool in D.C., and Sacramento.... laws that make little sense, unless some lobbyists gotta lot of payola bribery money$$$$???

    Here these days the big news is Gov. Jerry Brown, and his pardons of -854 Felons:
    http://www.latimes.com/politics/ess...ardons-112-commutes-1482520745-htmlstory.html

    Since 2011, Brown has granted 854 pardons and two commutations, according to the governor's office. That far exceeds recent predecessors such as former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who granted 15 pardons; Gov. Gray Davis, who granted zero pardons; and Gov. Pete Wilson, who granted 13.


    there are a lot of pissed of left coasters on this subject, especially the Police-Union, and those who support enforcing the law; putting prisoners behind bars, and keeping them there, since 'Correctional Institute' has no correction(s) in them... let alone life rehabilitation...
