With all of the visible dysfunctions in this administration, mainly with the president, it is quite embarrassing that his fans still choose to act like there is nothing wrong. Seventy percent of the population is not wrong in pointing out the obvious.

Trump and his staff try to force the media to sugarcoat everything he says, and omit the really bad things. Like Fox News does.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt.

Anyone that has to call himself a genius — isn’t.

Trump said “Everything I’ve done is 100% proper. That’s what I do, I do things proper.” Is he trying to win the joke of the year?

Let’s stop being ridiculous. Oprah for President? What does she know about politics?

I loved CNN’s Jake Tapper cutting off Stephen Miller and his attempt to take over the interview. It is way past time to stop giving time to people who never speak beyond their rigid speaking points.

I read that some of the strong blue states such as Illinois, California and New York are implementing state tax increases to offset the recent federal tax cuts in order to nullify any improvements to the U.S. economy from the recent federal tax cuts. Thank the lord I live in Indiana, where such shenanigans are not tolerated.

Listening to Donald Trump insist that he is a “stable genius” is pretty much the same as Richard Nixon insisting that “I am not a crook.”

Trump has done and said so many things to make people question his sanity. A book that quoted some of his staff members stating these concerns has completely unraveled him. So, is he the last to know?

Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.

I suppose it’s nice that Trump and the Mercers have turned on Steve Bannon. But remember, they also made it possible for Bannon to infuse his alt-right bigotry and anti government politics into the mainstream.

The biggest complaint the sore losers have had against president Trump this year is that he plays golf. Can you name one president who never played golf?

Never let someone who has done nothing tell you how to do anything.

I wonder if Trump and Bannon will sit down with the Nazis and reassure them that no matter what, they always will have two parents who will love them.
