It's amazing how fast we've acclimated to the wacky-a-doodle antics of the trump administration. Maybe he'll start getting his agenda through now that we are all so sick of hearing/talking about trump and associates.

Yes! From the latest Gallup poll on the subject of Trump, it appears that most all the American people are now accepting the amazing idea that we have elected a liar that doesn't keep his promises as president.

Trump couldn't think his way out of paper bag without the nutcase Jared Kushner telling him a way.
Jared Kushner's way is a complete disaster every time.
You people should not waste your time on the puppet Trump and keep a close eye on this Jared Kushner aszhole anti-American criminal (he's Bibi's tool) ......

yes, it truly shows, there are a lot of stoopid Americans out there. Tump will not be impeached he has the system too much behind him. An outsider? LOL.
He will not resign, his ego would not allow that.
We are stuck with him. Welcome to the wild ride.
But he will not be reelected, unless...

And I have been reading a lot, of course in the mainstream media, but good interviews with people who know this "business".
The AI and algorithms being used to manipulate public opinion, in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc is very scary.
I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories whatsoever, but the evidence is mounting. The public is being controlled. It seem the right wing are at the forefront of this attack, but does it matter? Left wing, right wing, controlling public opinion, and hence voting, it is scary no matter what, or who does it.
Cambridge Analytica, that is one to look up.

Wa Post:
A month after dismissing federal prosecutors, Justice Department has no U.S. attorneys in place
There are 93 unfilled U.S. attorney positions, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions is also without people at the helm of his top units, including the civil rights, criminal and national security divisions.
So much for law and order......

The amazing thing is that North Korea's GDP is only 29 Billion,,
Less then any state in the union.
I think we should just give them 50 billion dollars if they would agree to give every one of their people a cell phone and to build the towers to make a free internet happen.
100 billion would be a good deal.
But they probably never would take it.
Wars cost trillions.

Calling to congratulate Erdogan on his burgeoning autocracy (just imagine how jealous he must be!) AND losing a carrier group in the same week.
Amazing. Truly.

A Fake and a Fraud
Charles M. Blow
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/20/opinion/a-fake-and-a-fraud.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage®ion=CColumn&module=MostEmailed&version=Full&src=me&WT.nav=MostEmailed
the stubborn human resistance to admitting a mistake should never be underestimated. Admitting that Trump is failing, even when he is failing you and your family specifically, is an enormous pill to swallow. Acknowledging that your blindness, selfishness and fear compelled you to buy into a man who is selling you out may take more time.
But I think that time is coming, because Trump is an unabashed leech and an unrepentant liar.
Trump cares only about Trump, his brand and his image, his family and his fortune. Indeed, his personal philosophy as president might best be described as clan over country.
Instead of being a grenade-throwing iconoclast bent on blowing up the D.C. establishment and the big-money power structures, he has stocked his inner circle with billionaires and bankers, and he has bent to the establishment.
Trump sold himself as a populist only to line his own pockets. Trump built his entire reputation not as the champion of the common man, but by curating his image as a crude effigy of the cultural elite.
He accrued his wealth by selling hollow dreams of high society to people who wanted to flaunt their money or pretend that they had some.
Put another way, Trump’s brand is built on exclusivity, not inclusivity. It is about the separate, vaulted position of luxury, above and beyond the ability for it to be accessed by the common. It is all about the bourgeois and has absolutely nothing to do with the blue collar.
And yet somehow, it was the blue collar that bought his bill of goods. People saw uncouth and thought unconventional; they saw raffish and thought rebel.
They projected principle and commitment onto a person anathema to both. Now, we all have to pay a hefty toll as Trump’s legions cling to thinning hope.
