  1. Okay. He's also speaking in complete sentences, complimenting his loyalists, and blaming everybody else for everything. Yeah, he's killing it.

    Oh, and he's still talking about how he won the election. Because, you know, it never gets old.

  3. LOL. I rarely discuss politics in depth with family and friends. They know where I stand, in that I am, and have been thoroughly disgusted with this government for decades.

  6. I'm beginning to suspect that Trump is asking himself the same question. Perhaps he got stampeded into it by Priebus and Pence.

    Trump's consistent explanation is that Flynn did nothing wrong in talking to the Russian ambassador but he was not forthright about it with Pence. Two separate issues.

    Direct quote from the conference today, "...because of what he said to Pence".

    So, we have to go with what Pence said he said, or didn't say.

    Flynn pushed to share nuclear tech with Saudis, report says

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Senior White House officials pushed a project to share nuclear power technology with Saudi Arabia despite the objections of ethics and national security officials, according to a new congressional report citing whistleblowers within the Trump administration.

    Lawmakers from both parties have expressed concerns that Saudi Arabia could develop nuclear weapons if the U.S. technology were transferred without proper safeguards.

    The Democratic-led House oversight committee opened an investigation Tuesday into the claims by several unnamed whistleblowers who said they witnessed “abnormal acts” in the White House regarding the proposal to build dozens of nuclear reactors across the Middle Eastern kingdom.

    The report raises concerns about whether some in a White House marked by “chaos, dysfunction and backbiting” sought to circumvent national security procedures to push a Saudi deal that could financially benefit close supporters of the president.
