Macron is hugging John Lewis for dear life because he just spent 24 hours surrounded by white supremacists, nazis, and sociopaths.

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of Republicans who are anti-Trump no longer identify as Republicans. They've started calling themselves independents. So that 40 percent is a portion of a smaller and smaller whole.

There was an article about 4 months ago - where I don't recall - that talked about how the GOP had lost at that time 5-8 percent of it's members.

That scatterbrain former surgeon plans on raising rents for low income residents receiving HUD assistants.  This comes on the heels of that big tax break for the wealthy.  America is one giant sunken place right now.

This along with making people work for Medicaid and food stamps is just plain evil. 

Having just learned the meaning of the term "hot mess" I feel comfortable applying it to Trump's nominee to head the VA.

This thread details his bad behavior.

White House has little idea what Scott Pruitt will say tomorrow on Hill. He's not returning calls. Many aides hope he fails. Really only Marc Short, a Koch operative turned WH official, is defending him now to Trump. Many see dismissal as matter of time. https://t.co/u9TEZqcsLd

🚨🚨BREAKING: HUD secretary Ben Carson announces plan to triple low-income families’ rents and take housing away from jobless workers. This is apparently his plan for “encouraging work and self-sufficiency.” https://t.co/3TNYJn2h17

"Uncle Ben" Carson's gonna do WHAT??

 

Oh, where are Florida Evans and Willona Woods when you need them?

Ugh. If Democrats did take over Congress, unlikely as it is, could they do anything about Carson's plans?

Yeah.  They could fire him, forcing his ass to live in low-income housing and try like hell to come up with the rent on his shitty rep.

BREAKING: Dr. Ronny Jackson withdrawing as VA Secretary nominee: “Unfortunately, because of how Washington works, these false allegations have become a distraction for this President & the important issue we must be addressing – how we give the best care to our nation’s heroes.”

One of the reasons why I do still read the NYT (albeit sporadically these days).

Here's Trump ranting about the fake news media while the Fox & Friends desperately try to get him to talk about something else. pic.twitter.com/yvWdfpeRc9

Trump begins his Fox & Friends interview by basically conceding he didn’t get Melania a birthday gift

— Sam Stein (@samstein) April 26, 2018

The Fox & Friends panel breaks off the interview, saying they'd love to keep talking all morning, but they're sure Trump has work to do.

Trump tells Fox & Friends that he stayed overnight in Moscow, contradicting the claim in Comey's memo: "I went to Russia for a day or so... of course I stayed there."

Trump just said on Fox & Friends of Cohen:
“Michael would represent me, and represent me on some things. He represents me— like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me."

The legal troubles are growing & the stable genius reps himself. Which will take him down 1st?

Michael Avenatti responds to Trump saying Michael Cohen represented him in the Stormy Daniels deal on @Morning_Joe: "Another gift from the heavens in this case... It's a hugely damaging admission by the president."

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) April 26, 2018

As Willona Woods would say, "That's you -- ON TAPE."

 

Honestly, there are times when I feel like no one needs to do anything to bring down this man, that he will burn down his own damn house first.

His plan requires legislative action no matter what (i.e. nothing will come of it no matter who wins congress.)

This is spin. Only people paying the minimum rent (currently $50) would see their rents triple under Carson’s plan. And I say, good. Nobody should be paying $50 in rent...
