I wish I could un-see that pic of Trump playing tennis. It looks like a fat ass in public in underwear.

Dang, I'm old and my husband is old, and we are both admittedly overweight. My husband's ass in underwear looks far better than that (I know, TMI).

But dang, that is a disgusting picture. At the least he could have put on khaki-colored shorts with a little weight to the fabric (there are such fabrics with some stretch to them). Somebody buy that man a full length mirror. Gag. Puke.

No use -- he'd smash it or ban it if it didn't show him looking like Charles Atlas or Jack LaLanne.

This is one of the many things that I am wondering with regard to Dr. Ronny/Ronnie's  glowing report. Is it possible that he was given the answers in advance?

Dr R/R seemed a little too ebullient in his endorsement of Dump's health. I hate to think that he has fallen under the Dump's spell but it all seemed off. He threw out that Sudafed thing when someone asked about the slurred speech. He just right away remembered that he had given Dumpy Sudafed that day? And would Sudafed cause you to start slurring your speech suddenly, especially after you've been speaking clearly, well as clearly as Dump ever is, before?

The worst, and what makes me think this was all bullshit, is the height and weight. No way. Nope, not true. I've already said, I think he already fudged on the driver's license and he needed to NOT be obese. While fat does not weigh as much as muscle, he's still at least 250 now. If Dr. R/R will lie about that, he'll lie about anything.

Yep, I just can't let this go. Just saw a photo on Facebook of TIM TEBOW who is 6'3" and weighs 255!!!. (If you live overseas or do not follow sports, Tim Tebow was a well known college football player who won the Heisman trophy in 2007, played in the NFL, and is still a young man and in remarkable shape.) No F'ING WAY IS SHITHEAD THE SAME HEIGHT and nearly the same weight as this fine specimen of the male species!!  This ENTIRE medical report is a fairy tale.

And SUDAFED made him slur his speech? They really must think we are idiots.  The only way Sudafed would make you slur your speech is if you took it with a bottle of wine. LIARS!

And the Cognitive test. . . as I mentioned in an earlier post, and this REALLY pisses me off, my mother suffered from dementia before I lost her in 2013.  She aced that test!! This dear sweet lady who would wander outside barefoot to see why the dogs were barking, who would turn on a burner on the stove and leave it on for hours, forgetting it was on, forget whether or not she had eaten a meal, forget whether she was dressed or not; this lost soul aced that useless test. 

I'm sick and tired of this administration's constant lying; and now it has spread to Congress, the military, just where and when is it going to stop?

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, had previously confirmed in the Journal article that the affair began in his Lake Tahoe, Nevada, hotel in 2006. Donald and Melania Trump were married in 2005. Daniels said he asked her to dinner after they rode around in a golf cart together. When she arrived at Trump’s hotel room, she said he was sitting on the couch watching television and wearing pajama pants.

When she excused herself to use the bathroom, she came out and said he was sitting on the bed. Daniels claimed the sex was “textbook generic.” After having sex, Trump repeatedly said that he would call her and that he needed to see her again.

That right there is all you need to know.

Yeah, I sat through about a half-dozen of those cognitive tests with my father-in-law. He would mentally prepare for them. He knew the questions the doctor was going to ask and he would get me to help him remember the answers on the drive to the doctor. He was 84 so I thought he was just getting old. Four years of that and it took a social worker to tell us he had dementia. Lots of factors, but when he died he could tell the difference between each of his caregivers by voice because he was blind. He never forgot names but he had no idea what year it was or where he was.

As for Stormy, see I know her fake name, there's just too much smoke there and it seems he was one of those men who strays when the wife is pregnant. Didn't he also approach another woman on that same golf thing? That's the hardest he's ever worked.

Uh, so the porn star is saying Trump told her she reminded him of his daughter.

I see fuck face wants the US to be attacked by terrorists

Quote

Faced with the likelihood of a “blue tsunami” in the 2018 midterm elections, President Donald Trump is holding out hope that terrorists will attack the country, reported the Washington Post on Wednesday.

“In private conversations,” said the Post, “Trump has told advisers that he doesn’t think the 2018 election has to be as bad as others are predicting. He has referenced the 2002 midterms, when George W. Bush and Republicans fared better after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, these people said.”

 

[AmazonGrace]

Of COURSE he brags about his MOCA scores... I bet he thinks it was the Mensa test or something. Getting perfect marks is pretty much the default result and doesn't prove that you're smarter than anyone else.

 

[Glasgowghirl]

Most sane world leaders can't stand him, they tolerate him because they need to. You just have to look at their faces in pictures with him, my favourite is the one with him and the Pope. He makes me look at the situation in the UK, Brexit and the government doing a deal with the DUP,  and think maybe our politicians are not that bad.

Donald Trump is like toddler that has been put in charge, he claims he is a great business man but he went bankrupt while running a casino. 

I wish he didn't claim his Scottish ancestory, we don't want that association. His welcome the last time probably told him that though, only the Glasgow Airport bombers have had a worse welcome at an airport. 

 

  

[Howl]

Let me amend:  Sh*tgate, Girthgate and Porngate and it's still just Wednesday, which is really just the second day of the week, because Monday was a Federal holiday.  We should also add Cognigate in there, just because.

I see fuck face is being an asswipe again

Quote

The Trump administration on Thursday will announce an overhaul the HHS civil rights office as part of a broader plan to protect health workers who don't want to perform abortions, treat transgender patients seeking to transition or provide other services for which they have religious or moral objections.

Under a proposed rule — which has been closely guarded at HHS and is now under review by the White House — the civil rights office would be empowered to further shield these workers and punish organizations that don’t allow them to express their religious and moral objections, according to sources on and off the Hill. That would be a significant shift for the office, which currently focuses on enforcing federal civil rights and health care privacy laws.

HHS is planning to announce the changes at its headquarters Thursday morning.

That's alarmed advocates for LGBT patients, who say they're already fighting to overcome stigmas and discrimination and who warn that the policy shift will only worsen their situation.

I totally forgot today was the Fake News Awards day!

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/17/president-trump-reveals-winners-his-fake-news-awards.html

Quote

President Trump revealed the winners of his self-proclaimed ‘Fake News’ awards Wednesday night on Twitter with The New York Times topping the list.

Before naming the full list of “winners,” the website cited that “studies have shown that over 90% of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.”

It went on to call 2017 “a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage and even downright fake news.”

Coming in first place was The New York Times’ Paul Krugman for his predictions that the stock markets would never recover from Trump’s election.

In a bit of irony, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 26,000 for the first time on Wednesday.

The Times was followed by ABC News' Brian Ross for his false report that Trump advised former National Security advisor Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

The website carrying the results of the “Fake News Awards” crashed because of the number of visitors.

Trump also tweeted out that “despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!”

Below is the full list of winners of the 2017 Fake News Awards.

1)     The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claiming markets would ‘never’ recover from Trump presidency

2)     ABC News' Brian Ross’ bungled report on former national security adviser Michael Flynn

3)     CNN report that the Trump campaign had early access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks

4)     TIME report that Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office

5)     The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel tweeting that Trump’s December rally in Pensacola, Florida, wasn’t packed with supporters

6)     CNN’s video suggesting Trump overfed fish during visit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

7)     CNN’s retracted report claiming Anthony Scaramucci-Russia ties

8)     Newsweek report that Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda did not shake Trump’s hand

9)     CNN report that former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump’s claim he was told he was not under investigation

10)  The New York Times report that the Trump administration had hidden a climate-change report

11)  In Trump’s words, "‘RUSSIA COLLUSION!’ Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”

That's it?  Eleven news stories that he doesn't like?  Maybe he didn't realize that Bob Dole was to receive the Congressional Gold Medal today, and not only did Trump have to attend, but he had to make a speech as well.

[Rachel333]

I forgot how butthurt he was about the MLK bust story. He has talked about that a lot.

Can you imagine Obama doing something like this? Gah.

[AmazonGrace]

Half of those stories were probably fed to the reporters by the White House

[fraurosena]

The very fact that the stable genius feels the need to tweet this says it all.  

Also, who believes he's the one that typed this out? It's much too coherent to be his. No random "quotation" marks, no random CAPS, sentences that make sense, no mention of Hillary or Obama or another Dem to blame or shame... no way this can be his.

[AmazonGrace]

Tough rivers or water does sound like Trump though... I mean, what does he think rivers are made of if not water?

And there is a ridiculous number of dot dot dot dot dot but the ellipsis doesn't make sense because next tweet isn't a continuation of the sentence.

The Daily Caller News Foundation could not find any studies or estimates that confirm that the current U.S. trade deficit with Mexico is $71 billion. Publicly available data for previous years instead indicate that the trade deficit is around $65 billion.

Yeah, he also said violent rivers before, he has some weird notion stuck in his head about the Rio Grande. And he's also put the see-through in there again, he's got that stuck in his head. I wonder where the love of see-through comes from. 

I think we've moved on to the hybrid tweet days. I suspect he does the first draft and then Kelly moves in and corrects some punctuation and tones it down, takes out the capitalizations that make him look crazy.

Now, is he still having his little soiree down at Macho Grande on Sunday? The one that will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands, yet is a private party? Maybe he called it off, which will make him homicidal. Because somebody around him would surely make him aware of how bad it would look to do that during a government shut-down.

LOL..  another candidate cursed by a presiduncial endorsement. 

Trump tweets support for GOP Pa. House candidate

Quote

President Trump has endorsed Pennsylvania Republican state Sen. Rick Saccone in his bid to win a Pittsburgh-area House special election in March, an endorsement that came hours before Trump traveled to the district.

Trump tweeted his support for Saccone Thursday morning, arguing that he will help to move his agenda forward in Washington. 

But the tweet could put the White House and the Republican National Committee in a tricky spot ahead of the visit as the source of funding for the trip.

The taxpayers fund presidential travel for official trips but political parties are required to reimburse the White House for a portion of a trip that involves political activity.

The White House had framed Trump's trip, which includes a speech at a manufacturing company touting the GOP's successful tax reform push, as official business and not a campaign stop. While Saccone is expected to attend, the White House had told the Associated Press that Trump wasn't going to mention the GOP candidate explicitly.

With that speech set in the very district that is holding a special election in less than eight weeks, the subtext was clear.

Now, Trump's tweet removes any of that subtext and could raise questions as to who is paying for the trip.

A 2012 report by the Congressional Research service explains how "when travel involves both official and political functions, the White House uses a formula to determine" that reimbursement.

The Hill has reached out to both the White House and the RNC to clarify whether the political portion of the trip will be reimbursed.

While running for president in 2016, Trump blasted then-President Obama for putting the taxpayers on the hook when he traveled to support Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. 

 

What an idiot. With his endorsement tweet, he's contradicted his own WH and put the RNC in a difficult spot, as they've stated his visit to Pennsylvania is not campaign related. So essentially the taxpayers are footing the bill for the GOP campaign, and his tweet admits to that fact.

I initially misread this as Rick Santorum (also from western PA) running for office again.  But this guy sounds just as peachy.  He tried to get 2012 declared the Year of the Bible, and he wanted every Pennsylvanian to read the Bible for the whole year.

[GrumpyGran]

OMG, he's talking, somebody shut him up! He just showed up at the pentagon babbling about the shut-down and riding the military like a donkey. Blah,blah, word hash. Essentially we have the greatest military but it's seriously depleted, but it's going to be great, it already is great, but bad, but great.

He has a hard time with this one. He really wants to use the military as a boost but he can't find his footing here. This was mercifully brief though, maybe Mattis was right inside the door about to come out and jerk him inside.
