Me too. Trump is not an asshole. He is kind and positive towards normal citizens and saves his anger and wrath for the assholes out there, including politicians, asshole celebrities, etc. While Obama did the complete opposite.

Barry is a complete asshole, not Trump.

Jerrold Nadler fell ill at a conference today, almost losing consciousness. An ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital.

I'll just leave it at that.

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

From today’s Pat Buchanan column, the opening lines; seems appropriate here too:

After a stroke felled Woodrow Wilson during his national tour to save his League of Nations, an old rival, Sen. Albert Fall, went to the White House to tell the president, "I have been praying for you, Sir."

To which Wilson is said to have replied, "Which way, Senator?"

Historians are in dispute as to whether Wilson actually said it.

While speaking to reporters as he left the White House for his trip to Japan on Friday, Trump said Barr will be in charge of the information from various agencies, which he ordered declassified on Thursday night.

“They’ll be able to see how this hoax, how this witch hunt started, why it started. It was an attempted coup or an attempted takedown of the President of the United States,” he said.

He explained that Democrats continued to try to do a “redo” of the investigation special counsel Robert Mueller conducted but that it was over.

“It’s over. There is no redo. They lost,” Trump said.

Trump described the investigative effort as an “an attempted coup” of his presidency but said he looked forward to learning the details of how it started.

He specifically needled a few reporters who expressed concern about his decision.

“We’re exposing everything,” Trump said. “We’re being – a word that you like – ‘transparent.’”

The People’s President delivering buckets of fun. During a refueling stop in Alaska, en route to Japan, President Trump greets a standing group of smiling troops at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson… “I figured I might as well get out of the plane.”

JBER is on the northeast edge of downtown Anchorage. I lived in Anchorage for 5 years during the Zippy presidency. He landed there dozens times to refuel during those 5 years, but only met with troops once.

Trump is such a breath of fresh air.

Curious- Why is the Secret Service holding their arms\jackets like that? Holding them open with both hands.

That was great.

Keeps your hands free to engage your weapon, they Can keep the coat down to keep it from flipping up and exposing the weapon.

They were probably not holding them open with both hands as much as they were holding the edges of their coats so they could pull them open to reach their weapons without delay or fumbling. It’s also good to keep their hands up so they can react to threats by blocking or other action. Holding onto their jackets helps ensure their hands stay in the proper position and they’re not tempted to lower them because of inattention or becoming tired.

Just a guess. Smile

That was great.

If you look at them when they are walking up, that is about where the jackets hang. I don’t know what the wind is like, they could be keeping them from blowing open.

They could also be pre-staging their support hand to clear the cover garment. By doing the same thing with both hands, they don’t telegraph which side the gun is on and they are starting from a known reference point.

Just a guess too. Smile
