    When Donald J Trump gets a sense of humor, we'll all be better off. Meanwhile, SNL fills the bill...................

    In his press conference before his election, Alec Baldwin states, ".....I'm about to be president. We're all going to die."
    Hilarious.

    Must see. Laughter makes it very clear how insane the White House is.

    Very interesting travel differences between Obama and Trump administrations.

    Obama, lines for foreign passport holders moved faster than US passport holders. US holders went through 2 screenings and then back into general TSA security to re enter airport. Typically took 90-120 min.

    Trump, US lines fast, foreigner lines slow. Single customs screen, then into TSA precheck fast track line. Total of 30 minutes.

    Oh and for the first time had a border agent smile and welcome me home. I said thanks, is that new SOP to which he replied, yup.

    Interpret as you will, but others noticed and the general buzz was that this was a welcomed change.

    ...Tote, rather than have a rather lengthly court battle over getting his EO reinstated I really don't see why Trump doesn't simply take a different route in order to reach his goal of making us safer against possible terrorism as well as curbing illegal immigration.

    ...and oh, Mike Flynn should be cut loose...Kellyanne Conway too for that matter. Trump has made some good choices as far as some of his cabinet picks and other appointees as well as his pick for the SC...but he's enlisted some stinkers too.

    ^^^^It did not take long before The Donald said, "You're fired!"............and the situation at Mar a Lago
    is just ridiculous.

    You can bet that there will be more to come.

    I about liked to choke on my cheetos saturday night; and again now, make that twice...

    is it just me, or does Spicer look like he's proof the 'Peter Principle' is 400% Legit...

    definitely appears, and sounds to be in over his head. Spicer looks like the wanna' be bully on the playground, the one who is first to pick on someone, and first to get his ass kicked....

    ...I'll ask the same question I asked a couple of weeks ago; "How long before Spicer's head simply explodes?"

    just as soon as CNN corner's him with fake news.... and he tries to ignore the entire press; choosing to call on pseudo reporters/people; only he see's in the crowd...

    ^^^yup, another case of the pot calling the kettle black.

    ...and it's funny to watch the contrast in narratives between CNN and FOX on how this story is being covered...they're both so blatantly biased and they don't even try to hide it...much like ESPN and their Boston bias.

    ...but yeah, I brought up the problem with leaks a couple of weeks ago...but for the White House to assert that the leaks are more important than the fact that what Flynn did could be seen as criminal.

    ...I mean jeeez...complaining about leaks when Flynn himself was the freaking National Security Advisor.

    an utterly pitiful example of what POTUS material should never be, and is not....!!!


    it's going to be a long 4 yrs, might as well let the KOCH brother's run the country, they're more convincing liars, but not as colorfully mentally challenged as our shit head potus...! WTF of a election this wasn't, .... 2016 elections: year of the fraud and felon.

    ^^^^^America got duped...................and now the people will get dumped on. Very disturbing.

    The "ego" is running amuck. For crying out loud, why bring up Clinton over and over again,
    or your inaugural was the largest.......LET IT GO ALREADY! Do your job. What an
    un- presidential news conference! I really believe the "chaos" is spewed on purpose.
    Amazing how this president mocks everything American......that's his message discipline.

    Actions speak louder than words.........I'm going to concentrate more on the actions
    of this POTUS & billionaire administration than their 'reckless' words. Words are
    meaningless. Actions are not.

    Why does Verizon keep talking about beating T-Mobile and Sprint all these years?

    Answer: because it works, highly effective marketing strategy. It's not obsession, it's message discipline.

    ... whether it's a company or the POTUS, making unfounded statements is one thing...but being able to back it up with actual facts is something else entirely.

    Alternative strategy seems to be the way he's going. Moving past Chapter One of Art of the Deal now, lol.

    This is the disconnect, he doesn't care about facts, only results and deliverables. And you probably have noticed that his supporters are okay with this approach.

    ...translation; instead, he cares about "alternative facts".
