Huckster Bee-Ess is consistently incredible as always.
Trump is the bratty obnoxious kid the parents brought to the nice restaurant just to spite it's patrons. What he contributes is chaos for chaos sake, to attract attention.

Yep, the Trump campaign and Trump inauguration have absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Makes perfect sense to me.

The sad thing is, Sara really, truly believes she’ll be going to The Good Place. I almost hate to tell her...

A respected watchdog group on human rights is sounding the alarm: President Donald Trump poses an existential threat to American democracy, perhaps the greatest challenge it’s seen in modern history.

“Trump has assailed essential institutions and traditions including the separation of powers, a free press, an independent judiciary, the impartial delivery of justice, safeguards against corruption, and most disturbingly, the legitimacy of elections,” Freedom House president Mike Abramowitz writes in a special section of this year’s report, released on Tuesday morning. “We cannot take for granted that institutional bulwarks against abuse of power will retain their strength, or that our democracy will endure perpetually. Rarely has the need to defend its rules and norms been more urgent.”

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
I say we cannot continue to let Obama fly around on Air Force 1, at a cost of millions of dollars a day, for the purpose of politics & play!

New Mexico governor withdraws most National Guard troops from southern border

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...e81_story.html


Quote:
EL PASO — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday night ordered the state’s National Guard to withdraw most of its troops assigned to the southern border, rejecting the contention that “an overwhelming national security crisis” exists.

Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who took office last month after serving six years in the U.S. House, made the announcement shortly before President Trump’s State of the Union address, in which he spoke of a “tremendous onslaught” at the southern border.

Lujan Grisham said she would keep some New Mexico Guardsmen in the southwest corner of the state, which has seen a huge influx of Central American families in recent months. But she said she rejected “the federal contention that there exists an overwhelming national security crisis at the southern border, along which are some of the safest communities in the country.”
