Forbes reported that Eric Trump diverted more than $1 million in donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital to Trump golf courses. But he claims “morality’s just gone. Morals have flown out the window.” Why does this family judge everybody else, but can’t see what they are doing as wrong?
Democratic Senator: “Was there collusion between Trump and the Russians?” Witness: “I can’t talk about that.” Republican Senator: “See? There was no collusion!”
Is there any difference between Jesse James and the gas stations in Cedar Lake? None.
I would never want to be an elected politician because you end up with a bullseye on your back for every lunatic wanting revenge from past elections. Look at our Congress for the past 10 plus years. They don’t work on projects to make the country better, they work on projects to make the other political party look bad. I think our system is broken and has been that way for way too many years. About time for someone to take charge and get this country working again.
I thought we had it bad when George W. Bush was president because he was dumb. Trump is dumb and immature. Twice as bad.
As Trump gave yet another campaign speech in Cincinnati — even though he was elected over seven months ago — he extolled the virtues of nearby West Virginia. Why? Because it’s coal country!

West Virginia is a place Trump would likely never have stepped foot in had it not been for his 1917 vision for the U.S. economy.
True, maybe an armed citizen could have stopped the London attack. On the other hand, if guns were as plentiful in the U.K. as in America, you can bet the terrorists would have gotten their hands on firearms too. Had they been equipped with modern sporting rifles, the toll would have been even more horrific.
A SuperPac run by Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani is running ads trying to discredit James Comey, a private citizen, just because he is due to testify against the president. Very unprecedented even for this group.
When Dan Coats was asked if he was pressured, he said “I do no feel it is appropriate for me to address that in a public session.” If the answer was no, he would have said so.
I don’t know how anyone doesn’t realize how the internet actually works. Especially when you are conducting illegal activities. The police and the FBI must love modern technology and stupid people.
James Comey asked Jeff Sessions to never be left alone with the president again. Not out of fear, but because he wanted someone there to be a witness to what the president was demanding.
