Our bigly armada is...somewhere! Watch out, gentleman! Trump cont..

[TheClaws]

As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

The slow and the furious
Bill Maher about some visitors to the WH.
And what about Hannity? No sex scandals, apart from the blow job he gives President Trump every night.

White House quietly names a new surgeon general; Obama-era official asked to resign after a nearly 3-year run cbsn.ws/2owvVJl pic.twitter.com/B9SPjNML2r

Obama to make first public speech since leaving office

"discussion with young people on “community organizing and civic engagement”"

Well timed event. :)

So, have they finally noticed there is a post called "Surgeon General"?

Surely, dr Carson? No?

Ah!

Gun violence, obesity and addiction as an illness.

Any bets on replacements? How long will his deputy last?

Note that it's his first public speech. I assume there will be others also.

Dem lawmaker trolls Trump: I'll support Trump's border wall "if Russia pays for it" hill.cm/qK6XGNA

From that article:

'Mulvaney said during a Bloomberg Live interview that the Trump administration would offer $1 in insurance company reimbursements known as cost-sharing reduction (CSR) for every $1 in funding for the wall.'

Didn't 45 say he would be taking legislative action to reduce the US debt? It seems to be only spending at the moment.

How's the swamp going?
Trump sinks in the Florida swamp this time.

It just gets worse and worse doesn't it? R Maddow was explaining the Florida money thing and also the way Trump's 'trust' is set up vis a vis his real estate holdings and how easy it would be to line his pockets via buying one of this properties.

I know this is the way big business has always run. I know this is common amongst the 1%. But this is my Country, not some shady real estate deals in the business world.

It's like we're being sucked into that whirlpool that forms in your bathtub. Slowly being drawn towards the drain, then faster and faster as you get into the whirlpool above the plug hole, then WHOOSH, you're speeding down the pipes to the sewers.

2018 can't get here fast enough!!

Do not come for @ChelseaClinton. She will kill you with kindness, but you will be just as dead.

This made me laugh. I admit that she does respond very politely to criticism, in a way that takes a minute to realise she's made the nasty person look like a complete arse. Very amusing.
