Wow #MakeEverySecondCount is certainly sharp satire. Using Trump's simplistic tone of speech to mock him-all I can say is, it's very clear that the U.S. went from a respected country that people sometimes disagreed with yet still generally respected, to a laughingstock. That's really the only thing I can say about that. Speaking of laughing, with a purpose. I know people boo-hooed the mocking of Ivanka Trump's clothes on Amazon but behind those sarcastic posts was a real boycott of her products, which is beginning to bite her now. Trump may tout his love for the poorly educated, but I guess a lot of Hillary supporters have the $$$ to shop at Nordstrom and they voted with their wallets and purse strings and that's definitely no joke.

Now who didn't know this?! Sanders says Trump may be right about his voters It makes Sanders' statements to 'work with Trump' even more obnoxious. Enjoy the fall of what's left of the U.S. Empire, folks.

Or where's Hillary for that matter!

According to what I have been reading on this topic, Nixon didn't reach this level in the polls until at least 16 months into the Watergate scandal. Trump, whose impeachment numbers are growing (according to polls, if you believe them) is way ahead of the Nixonian scandal schedule. About that call to Putin, file this under things that are said/done in Americans' name that they aren't allowed to know about apparently. Foreign policy insider: ‘No readout of Trump-Putin call because White House turned off recording’

Has anyone read Howard Stern's comments on why he thinks Trump ran for president and why he's been calling for voter fraud investigation?? Howard Stern: Trump wants to be loved, presidency will be 'detrimental' to his mental health

Trump didn't bother to show up in Situation Room for botched Yemen raid

Speaking of war people do realize that this is happening again in the Ukraine, right? It started up just as Trump's inauguration began and has ramped up days after his call with Putin. Now the lifting of sanctions. Trump is sworn in, rockets fall on Ukraine

Yemeni Bodega owners (those little corner stores) in parts of NYC shut down their stores today to protest the Muslim Ban.

Are there people who still don't believe this administration has got China in it's cross-hairs? Presidential puppetmaster Steve Bannon says so. Steve Bannon: 'We're going to war in the South China Sea ... no doubt' Picking fights with a country with at least a billion people. The height of hubris.

Tamara Tunie (Jessica Griffin, ATWT) is directing.

The first day of Black History Month. Must we be subjected to foolishness like this?!

File this under the growing list of people who didn't pay attention to Trump's words, either didn't believe what he was going to do (despite him campaigning on this issue) or didn't think it would affect them, therefore didn't care. Now their relatives are going to stuffer due to the stupidity of their own family members. Family of Syrians Deported From Philadelphia Voted for Donald Trump

Betsy DeVos Invests in a Therapy Under Scrutiny So Betsy deVos invests in Neurocore, which seems to be the Neuroscience equivalent of Trump University. Neurocore hires grad students and social workers, underpays them and loads them up with cases where they are tasked with performing duties above their skillset and pay grade. What could possibly go wrong? While I read this article, I kept getting the image of the main character from A Clockwork Orange being put in front of a TV monitor while his eyes were pried open with metal implements. deVos and her husband sound like Quacks.

Is there anyone in this administration who doesn't plagiarize? Shameful!

Yeah, I read that she turned one of Trump's failing casinos into a success and Donny didn't like it one bit. There were reports that he claimed that he didn't like the fact that she'd become so business-like and wanted to talk about work a lot. I guess he now has the Stepford Wife that he's always wanted, though at this point, it seems as if they live separate lives. Some one changed the BBC News logo, I guess this might be a sign that there is too many crazy news stories, mostly to do with the political landscape.

Incoming, fellow boardmates.

Unlike Paul Ryan (and some Democrats), Sally Yates has a backbone. I have a feeling that everything Trump has accused others of doing, he has done himself. He does his best to surround himself with those who are like him and think like he does. That gossip has more drama than Y&R right now.

People may not realize that Trump is already doing military maneuvers. It's disconcerting that someone who does things in such a slapdash manner is now commander-in-chief in charge of so many lives. U.S. Commando Killed in Yemen in Trump’s First Counterterrorism Operation

Apparently the suspect (police discovered that there was one, not two) was known to troll a Syrian refugee Facebook group. http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/quebec-mosque-shooting-five-remain-in-critical-condition-following-attack

Hopefully this continues to its logical end, which would be a lot of states being required to redraw their districting maps. Republican redistricting is taking a beating in the courts, right now

Wow, wonder what Stephanie Williams is up to these days.
