Well crap, I've done vodka shots at a wedding party in Star City, so I guess I am Rooskie spy as well. And I have had more than one Baltika #9 to boot.

The Dems have not progressd past the First stage of grief: Denial.

All of this Russia nonsense is because they still cannot accept the fact that Trump won. They MUST find a way to make it Not So!

The longer it goes on, the more desperate and thrashing the efforts become. I am saddened that AG Sessions responded to their thrashings, but he is a career politician and it is in his nature to do so.

Our President, however, is not one of those craven beasts, and can withstand any thrashing that comes his way.

Stay strong, stay proud, just like OUR President will.

^^^^ . . . and went to work on doing the people's business as soon as he dismounted!

On his first full day in office, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke issued an order Thursday reversing a last-minute action by the Obama administration to ban lead ammunition and fish tackle used on national wildlife refuges.

Ryan Zinke looks like a kind of guy that should be running the Department of Interior.

I'm not worried about the day to day things or latest manufactured outrage by the left. Trump is in the trenches fighting these America haters every day. He's going to make mistakes. He's going to lose some rounds. But damn it, he's fighting when no one else on the R ticket would, and he won when no one else could have. We are the beneficiaries of his decision to stand up and fight back.

Wonderful post !

Thank you.

Looks like the EU is starting to get all pissy over President Trump's immigration policy now:

Go ahead, EU. Play stupid political games, and watch your income from tourism PLUMMET as a result. Shoot yourself in the gut in a vain attempt to 'punish' us. . .

In possible response to Trump, EU parliament calls to end visa-free travel for US citizens

In what has been called a “visa war,” the European Union’s parliament on Thursday called on the bloc to force American tourists visiting Europe to first obtain visas because the U.S. excludes five EU countries from its no-visa policy.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the request is unlikely to change policy, but reflects “hostility among some European politicians to the Trump administration.”

The report said Parliament’s vote came six weeks into Trump’s presidency and after the legislature publically slammed Trump’s executive order banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries.

U.S. citizens can travel to all EU countries without visas but the U.S. hasn’t granted visa-free travel to citizens of Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland and Romania.

The legislature urged the European Commission to act within two months. The Commission was legally bound to propose by last April that visas be reintroduced for U.S. citizens for 12 months but the 28-nation bloc’s member countries preferred to take no action.

The Commission has cautioned that suspending the visa waiver for Americans would also hurt trade, tourism and the European economy.

Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European home-affairs commissioner, traveled to Washington last month to talk about the issue. He wrote to The Journal: “As you know, our approach brought results with Canada. We will continue our engagement with the United States on this matter as well our broader cooperation on migration and security.”

He was referring to Canada’s decision to lift all remaining visa requirements for EU citizens by the end of the year.

Americans need to stay home, anyway. I see no reason for private citizens to travel to New Arabia.

You realize he retired after 23 years as a SEAL, one of the leaders of SEAL Team 6.

He was a Congressman after that, but they are not all totally worthless, it seems.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Trump has a speech to congress, hits it out of the park, America says halleluiah, and the media wants to deflect from talking about that (and there is so much positive for the country that could be reported) and brings up more of this Russian nonsense. The enemy of the people is clearly defining itself - act accordingly.

This whole Russian thing is absurd. Frankly I am disgusted with the vaunted FBI and CIA. This has become a major issue w zero evidence presented to the American people.

We have to remember that both the FBI and CIA have experienced 8 years of obummer appointing people into "leadership" positions.

What truly needs doing is for Trump to immediately and summarily fire every obummer appointee in the entire executive branch.

Now this BS witch hunt about Sessions is in the hands of a obummer appointee. Fat chance of any legitimate outcome.

And, for the slow learners, Sessions contacts with the "Russians" was part of his job.

Of course, anyone actually doing their job is completely mystifying to the democraPs.

This Russian narrative has a decent chance to backfire. The Democrats are in essence denying the existence all those who voted for and supported Trump. They are basically sending a message that these people don't exist and the election was rigged. I see the democrat party losing even more power in the future. The same for the media. All they are doing is hardening my resolve and further solidifying my HATRED of the Democrat party and the media.

Now Trump needs to go on the offense and find a way to get Hillary locked up for her obvious crimes and punish the everlasting fuck out of these people leaking info. Go scorched earth on these mofos.

I wonder if this Russia nonsense is, apart from ordinary and usual God Damned Commie wickedness, a way to hobble the man who will decide to prosecute HilLIARy.

The GDCs opposed his nomination with unusual bitterness and vitriol, especially for a Senator, and especially for a sitting Senator.

He seems, to those of us who care about such things, inordinately well qualified by many years of successful experience for the post, far beyond the qualifications of many recent AGs.

Sessions should have disclosed long ago that he met Russian representative just to keep it clean for future discovery. They are so afraid of media and democrats they can't come clean..this is really hurting efforts to move ahead...

There was noting secret about Sessions meeting with the "Russians". It was part of his normal job, and I am pretty sure there were news reports about some of it.

EXACTLY!!! There's so much of my own country I have yet to see, why would I spend my American dollars in some EU crap-hole?? The POSSIBLE exception would be Italy, as that is where my family originates.

As to this Russia crap, here's an article from USA Today...Russia even saying it's a Witch Hunt:

So now Patrick Stewart is going to apply for US Citizenship to fight and oppose Trump. I accept the fact most of the entertainers whose work I enjoy will have different political leanings than I do. As long as they do their job and stfu about politics, I will buy their product.

At this point there is a dwindling pool of entertainers to watch or listen to.

I hope the US government refuses his application.
