    Nikki Haley says we won’t accept an illegit govt in Venezuela but it’s unclear if she means by ‘we’ her and the UN or her and Trump. I think there’s a decent chance Marines will get sent in before too long, mainly because the US likes foreign adventures when domestic policies are in the ditch and boy, are US domestic policies in the ditch, plus Maduro’s a socialist which is almost a commie, plus oil.

    A litany of Trump administration achievements during the past week in which Trump aptly said of himself “With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any President that’s ever held this office” which was especially impressive considering the week before he had said he had “signed more bills than any president, ever” …….in no particular order since they’re so amazingly fantastic as to defy ranking them.
    .
    Trump’s replacement, Mooch, wasted no time demonstrating Trump made an outstanding pick that is as classy and intelligent as Trump
    .
    Continued belittling AG Sessions to try to drive him from office, since the Constitution prevents Trump firing Sessions. Trump ought to know since “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”
    .
    Created new military policy and innovatively deployed it by twitter—Who says this WH can’t keep a secret?
    .
    Outsourced the North Korea problem to China after “it won’t happen” North Korea successfully launched an ICBM capable of reaching the US
    .
    Ridiculed a war hero and continued the GOP’s War on Women by disparaging two women Senators, since it’s certainly not the fault of “the most effective legislative liaison person in the world” that Obamacare wasn’t repealed
    .
    Made a narcissistic political speech to the Boy Scouts haranguing Hillary
    .
    Canned Priebus since the WH staff was overloaded with personnel with a sense of decorum and political understanding, and replaced him with a sycophant that are always in short supply
    .
    Ignored Putin’s seizing of two US diplomatic compounds and the reduction of US diplomatic personnel in Russia by 755—Trump and family are doing everything the State Department did, only better, so not needing the diplomats makes the property surplus, and who more deserves the property than a bestie?
    .
    Told cops that they ought to rough up suspects more. It’s not as those under arrest have rights or are innocent until proven guilty. Those are things reserved for people that deserve them because they earned them, like Trump and his supporters have.
    .
    Notched more lies than any week of his Presidency to date, having made 34 false claims in the week between six months after assuming office and last Wednesday: https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/07/27/daniel-dales-donald-trump-fact-check-updates.html
    .
    Supporters and establishment conservatives alike are bursting with pride, and wonder how he’ll top last week and Make America Great Again this week.
    .

    Maybe they’ll start by explaining how cutting everyone’s taxes, especially those paid by the rich, is revenue neutral.

    All we got to see was a little silhouetto of a man. Easy come, easy go…

    Look for Trump to pardon Sheriff Joe. Will drive the weenies bats–t!

    News is kinda spotty here. What did Trump say about the cops roughing up suspects?

      “And when you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon — you just see them thrown in, rough — I said, please don’t be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over? Like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody — don’t hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

        And when Baltimore public officials encourage outright mayhem amongst the rioting protesters or Michael Brown’s step father of the year advocates “burn the b–ch down” Nary a freaking peep. Gotta Maintain The Narrative!!
        Sad.

          When almost all major police chiefs or departments in the 10-20 largest departments in the country (in both democratic and republican strong holds) put out statements distancing themselves from the presidents comments, maybe the presidents POV is wrong. Not to mention ‘paddy wagon’ is still an ethnic slur the last time I checked my ‘Irish Indignation Handbook’

          Two wrongs don’t make a right (wing narrative).
