Trump got bored and has moved on to tweet about Arnold: "Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show."

Trump tweeted it so it must be true. Another shiny object to try to distract from the Russian scandal. Sad!

Starting next year you could take a Sabres road trip to see the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Las Vegas Bills.

Where the hell is the revised constitutional travel ban? We were told this was a top priority and needed immediately to keep the terrorist hordes of refugees out. Trump is letting the bad hombres pour into the country. Bad!

How appropriate and timely, the tv show The Americans starts their new season this Tuesday.

Already a broken promise by Trump to steel workers. “We put you heavy into the pipeline business because we approved, as you know, the Keystone Pipeline, but they have to buy ... steel made in this country and pipelines made in this country,” Trump told U.S. Steel Chief Executive Mario Longhi at a Feb. 23 meeting. The Keystone XL Pipeline will not be subject to President Donald Trump's executive order requiring infrastructure projects to be built with American steel, a White House spokeswoman said today. Trump signed the order calling for the Commerce Department to develop a plan for U.S. steel to be used in “all new pipelines, as well as retrofitted, repaired or expanded pipelines” inside the U.S. projects “to the maximum extent possible.” By the White House’s judgment, that description would not include Keystone XL, which developer TransCanada first proposed in 2008. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/keystone-pipeline-buy-american-exemption-235639

They're lucky they weren't at a full service station and sitting in the car. Did a NYS law change this year allowing for the hands-free auto-shutoff pump handle flap thingy? It used to be disabled on pump handles in NYS, but it worked in NJ.

Too cute by half. He recused himself from any "Trump campaign" investigation, but not for the time after the election and before the inauguration, when the Flynn scandal occurred surrounding Russian sanctions. Another reason to believe something illegal occurred in that timeframe. The most upset person in Washington has to be Trump, who once again has been upstaged by a controversy by one of his minions.

Say focused kids, the issue is lying under oath. A president was impeached, not because of what he did, but because he lied under oath.

March 17, 2016: Donald Trump’s senior policy adviser Stephen Miller is explaining the detailed role Sen. Jeff Sessions will play as chairman of Trump’s Foreign Policy Advisory Committee. “The news that I’m here to tell you about tonight,” Miller said on The Kelly File, “is that Senator Sessions is the Chairman of his Foreign Policy Committee. For first time, Miller detailed the effort Sessions has poured into this new role. “Jeff Sessions has been meeting for hours now putting together a team of foreign policy advisers, military experts, [and] intelligence experts,” Miller said. “I had a chance to speak to Sen. Sessions today and his military advisers for about half an hour before coming here and we discussed some robust foreign policy ideas.” Miller informed viewers that Trump has “sat down with Senator Jeff Sessions and has spoken about these [foreign policy] issues at length.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/17/trump-campaign-releases-new-details-about-sessions-role-as-foreign-policy-adviser/

Always good to have multiple sources, Meathead. The next question is, given that Reince Priebus said they investigated and found no one connected to the Trump campaign spoke to the Russians, was he lying or was he deceived by Sessions ala the VP and Flynn. Either excuse is not good for the already poor credibility of the administration. Keep pulling the threads...

At his Jan. 10 Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, under oath Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign. "I'm not aware of any of those activities", he responded. He added: "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians." That was a clear statement under oath, a perjury offense that at the very least should require Sessions to recuse himself from further investigations into the Trump-Russia election scandal, and another reason why a special procescutor should be appointed.

BREAKING: Attorney General Sessions met twice last year with Russian ambassador as senator during presidential campaign, DOJ says, but didn't disclose it during confirmation. Keep pulling the threads...

Are you referring to the popular vote win, the one in 1992 that included Perot? In any case, Clinton won a plurality in both elections, which Trump couldn't even do. I'm referring to current poll numbers, of which Trump has the lowest approval rating in modern history to date. At this point in March 1993 Clinton had a 53% approval rating. So suck on those real facts.

The irony, from a person who tweets on the most trivial things every week.

A speech for his 44% who support him. Nothing has changed.

Who's working against law enforcement? They're just being asked to be accountable for their actions. Now let's see a Congessionsl investigation into the raid that Ryan Owens died in, as his father has asked for. It's the least they could do after all the Benghazi hearings.

"Access to coverage", the great spin by Republicans. They won't commit to affordable coverage for all. As someone said, I have access to buy a million dollar house, it doesn't mean I can afford it.

It's an updated campaign speech. Not very inspiring or unifying.

The beachhead of extremism has been established, it's in the White House led by Steve Bannon.

Trump wants to light up the world. Everybody duck.

I said nothing of the sort. Obviously it needs some modifications, as do most initial programs that affect so many people. But 20 million more with insurance is not a bad thing. My issue is that the Republicans have tried to repeal it for 7 years, and have yet to provide a viable alternative that will continue to insure all that currently have insurance. Access to insurance is not the same as being able to afford insurance. The dog caught the car.

Talk about a dog chasing a car and finally catching it. What do we do now? 7 years of votes to repeal the ACA, and they never had and still don't have a viable alternative that would pass in Congress that would cover all the people that currently have insurance. Brilliant!

I thought she was the First Lady. More royal intrigue than Game of Thrones.
