After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas....

....She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!

Maybe she's going to go into a retreat and try and get her soul back.

What Trump suck up will take the job next? Rick Santorum?

Here's a question. When was the last time anyone; Trump, a member of his administration, or one his street level supporters argued an actual positive for Trump?

Has Trump ever argued a positive rather than simply claiming one? At a slight tangent, is it a positive to have roused the UN General Assembly to laughter by one such claim?

 

[CapelDodger]

Making sure he never testified under oath was an extremely effective strategy.

Trump is the type specimen of a client you don't want to put on the stand.

The math doesn't work out for me. 2017, 2018, 1/2 of 2019 is only 2.5 years in the white house. Unless she was SPYING on the Obama administration for a whole year!

There are no Trump golf-courses in Wales, I'm pretty sure of that. There's no reason for Trump to be aware there even is such a place.

That's my take on it, too.

The bloke is as thick as several planks and I reckon he probably always had "whales" in his head. Scotland, he knows exists and may have heard of the connection with unicorns, and the Irish with Leprechauns, and figured whales was a likely association.

A textbook specimen.The most perfect example. The archetype. That’s the word. Archetype

While I very much appreciate P.M. Abe going to Iran to meet with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, I personally feel that it is too soon to even think about making a deal. They are not ready, and neither are we!

Santorum: “the president’s words are imprecise”

I wish Anderson Cooper had responded by saying “do you think it might be possible to get the president to agree? Do you think it might be possible to get the president to admit to using imprecise language?”

She's had enough! Kellyanne next!

Kellyanne's in the hot seat for all her violations of the Hatch Act. Not that any of these people give a rip for the law.

I'm old enough to remember "The President mispoke". So began the slippery slope ...

Having watched and listened (very rarely) to her I am completely certain she has no soul.

And not all of '17, either, Sean Spicer spent some if it hiding in bushes.

She's no doubt got a job waiting at Faux News.

I keep picturing Trump promising nothing but Fire and Fury for Iran, then setting up a summit with Khamenei and suddenly they're best buds. There's a precedent for that.

It must have been on that Word-a-Day calendar, right before "Auspices".

If I ever feel sorry for Rick Santorum and his association with santorum, I’ll reread this interview and any feelings of sorriness will disappear.

...You mean that thing that was intentionally named after him?

‘Let me make something 100% clear’: FEC chair lays down the law on foreign help

The head of the Federal Election Commission released a statement on Thursday evening reiterating, emphatically, that foreign assistance is illegal in U.S. elections.

“Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election,“ wrote Ellen Weintraub, chairwoman of the FEC. “This is not a novel concept.“

<snip>

Trump told ABC News‘ George Stephanopoulos that hearing out foreign election information was not election interference, but rather “oppo research.“

Weintraub was clear in rebutting that characterization.

This honestly should be straight-forward stuff, but... Trump Era.

Nice to see someone in the administration has a sense of both humour & history.

I assume this is to help the children concentrate.

A-yep.

All he has to do is withdraw his claim that homosexuality is morally similar to bestiality and sex columnist Dan Savage will do his best to undo the name association that he created with the help of his readers.

As near as I can tell, it will be for unaccompanied minors.
For a moment I thought the Trump Administration was going even more over the top by separating minors from parents and send the minors to a camp that had previously held both children and parents.

Still, with no air conditioning, it really should count as cruel and unusual.

You can't make this stuff up. Even more ridiculous, Trump was comparing meeting with foreign officials on state visits to meeting with and accepting assistance from foreign governments during a campaign. I guess that means he is tacitly confirming his campaign did collude with Russian in 2016? What a dunce!
