Donald J. Trump does not know how to spell “they’re.”

When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. There always playing politics - bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!

I believe he called Trump an “Old lunatic”. To which Trump’s response was “I’m not old”.

A common strategy for dealing with trolls on Twitter, since they can’t be reasoned with, is to simply ignore them. It’s the same strategy White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has taken with the President of the United States.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday in Vietnam, Kelly said he doesn’t pay attention to what Trump is tweeting. “Believe it or not, I do not follow the tweets,” Kelly said.

Mitch McConnell finally finds (some of) his spine.

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/360102-mcconnell-roy-moore-should-step-aside

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday called for GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore to “step aside.”

“I think he should step aside,” McConnell said during a tax reform press conference in Louisville, Ky., when asked about the calls from his Senate colleagues for Moore to leave the race.

Moore has been under growing pressure from Republicans to drop out of the Senate race after The Washington Post published a story containing allegations that Moore pursued an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teenage girl.

When pressed about the allegations, McConnell said, “I believe the women.”

And with that said…

Well…the stories keep on comin’.

https://www.salon.com/2017/11/13/woman-says-george-h-w-bush-groped-her-when-she-was-16/

A sixth woman is accusing former President George H. W. Bush of groping her — and this time, the accuser was only 16 years old at the time of the alleged incident.

“My initial action was absolute horror. I was really, really confused. The first thing I did was look at my mom and, while he was still standing there, I didn’t say anything. What does a teenager say to the ex-president of the United States? Like, ‘Hey dude, you shouldn’t have touched me like that?’” Roslyn Corrigan told Time.

Corrigan claimed that the incident occurred in 2003, when she joined her father at a meeting of other intelligence officers and their families at the Central Intelligence Agency office in The Woodlands, Texas. Corrigan was only 16 at the time of the alleged incident, while Bush was 79.

Would it? Not sure if that’s necessarily true. They can’t replace him on the ballot either way so they’d have to force a write-in campaign. Furthermore he originally qualified it with the tired “if it’s true” which many other Republicans are still using. At least he said he believed her this time.

If Moore publicly announced he’d step down, people could vote for Moore knowing he isn’t the one who would actually serve the Senate term. You don’t have to do a write-in campaign, just go with Moore and a pledge to step down once elected, and you get a Senator picked by the Republican governor. That’s actually the move with the best chance of winning at this point IMO. You get your deplorables voting for Moore because they actually like him, and your sane Republicans voting for him because they like the governor. And that’s the coalition that delivered Alabama to Trump both in the primaries and the general, with hefty margins.

Could Moore break such a pledge? Absolutely. But the same people who got duped into the “Trump will pivot to the general/pivot to acting presidential” will easily fall for it whether it’s an honest pledge or not. And the kicker is, I don’t think McConnell cares either. He needs the pledge to win the seat. Once he has the seat, it only matters if they have an (R) next to their name. Moore could break the pledge or not, it won’t matter.

Not sure what’s going on here, but I’m terrified anyway. 😉

They appear to be testing a maneuver that sucks the orange pigment out of their bodies, allowing them to more easily pass for humans.

Donald J. Trump, Jr. is a self-incriminating idiot.

Here is the entire chain of messages with @wikileaks (with my whopping 3 responses) which one of the congressional committees has chosen to selectively leak. How ironic! 1/3

This is where we must have state-level charges. He’ll only be coy about pardoning people for so long. If this hits his family, the pardons begin. But if his family gets hit with pardon-proof charges, he may be so fixated on those charges that he lets the other perps continue to dangle on federal charges, which would be lovely.

So, Lone Starr, now you see that good will always triumph, because evil is dumb.
