More like a Patriot Nancy.

I'd love at some point to find out what "something better" means.
They keep criticising Obamacare, but I haven't seen any replacement proposals yet.

Vox article on McMaster, the anti-Bannon

"it also shows that McMaster has a worldview that challenges some of the Trump White House’s most unsettling instincts when it comes to international affairs — and that the new national security adviser won't be afraid to speak his mind when he thinks the president is heading down the wrong path."

It looks like lots of people are now telling the media at that a "rush to get a special investigator" isn't a good idea. Rick Santorum on CNN, New Jersey Gov Chris Christie on Politico, and I saw another name somewhere else.

Anyone more knowledgable than me agree that they might be right, or are they just stalling?

Even dictionaries are getting in the fray.

What does feminism mean?

What is a fact?

I don't see a problem with getting a special investigator asap. It's not like selecting an Apprentice. Just look at the CVs and choose one.

Just as long as the investigation is not rushed (swept under the carpet).

Don't know if this has been posted yet - but interesting article about how The Wee Donald's outrage at fake MSM is directly at odds with his well documented 'old' ways...

Oh no, in completely different news, Bill Paxton has died. One of my favourite actors as I have a huge fondness for some shite films - am gutted. Sad

Cussing I wouldn't trust Christie to tell the truth.

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 15:49

look at that - I linked to breitbart. For info on Christie. What does that tell you?

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 15:52

I'd be willing to bet that Christie and Nunes both have significant shady stuff going on. They are both determined that Trump gets away with it and that the Russia stuff is not investigated fully. Makes you wonder why......

Trump says he'll sign EO allowing guns in schools. Guns were forbidden at:

His Inaugaration
His NRA Convention Speech
CPAC
Trump Hotels

But hey, grizzlies, you know. Fucking hell, DeVos must have given him a LOT of money.

Has EP 'shared' about the personal donation he'll be making to the WHCA scholarship fund in lieu of no attending the annual dinner? Hopefully substantial as well - he is an alleged billionaire after all. Smile

I'm going to call Huckabee (which sounds amusingly far too close to Huckleberry for someone with a southern accent Grin) Sanders the name of Temporary Barbie or Temp Barbie. Let's face it - she only here until a combination of Trump's ridiculous nonsense and the media pointing out actual facts makes her look just as foolish as Patriot Barbie. So she is Temp Barbie for me.

Oh NO! about Bill Paxton. That's a shame, I liked him a lot. He had just started a new series.

On a lighter note, I think it might be amusing if they ran Trump's tweets as a scrawl on the bottom of the screen during the Oscars. I'm sure he'll have plenty to say!

He's not going to be watching apparently across. I take that to mean one of his staff has been tasked with losing the remote control during the speeches. Grin
