2. "I didn't know that Melania was going to be saying The Lord's Prayer, but I thought that was very beautiful," Trump begins.
3. "I want to speak with you without the filter of the fake news."
4. "Nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle." Trump quotes Thomas Jefferson. Is that a real Jefferson quote? Yes! Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 14 June 1807:
To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.5. "Not one media network will show the crowd," Trump taunts, which gets at least Fox News to pan around the crowd. Trump's wrong again!
6. The EPA, under Obama, was "clogging up the veins of our country."
7. "Bring this guy up here. Come on! Hop over the fence!" An awestruck guy in a Donald Trump shirt (and shorts) comes up on the stage. He hugs Trump (even though Trump just said he was afraid the guy was going to kiss him), and Trump gives him the microphone and he speaks for a moment. He says he knew Trump was going to keep his promises. Trump shakes his hand, points at him, and says: "A star is born!"
8. Trump lets the people know that he was watching them on TV as they were waiting on line. He heard the interviews with particular individuals, he says, and he recognizes them in the audience. Trump, the TV personality, knows them from TV.
9. He's reading the statute that he relied on for his immigration order, the statute that the 9th Circuit didn't even cite — as he points out — and he pauses in the middle to critique the statute for saying only "he" (referring to the President) instead of "he or she." He calls the statute "not politically correct," then digresses from the digression to announce (once again) that in the election he did very well with women.
10. Excellent political theater. That's it for now from me.

What have you guys got against President Pence? You're worried you won't like him as much as President Bannon?

That's not the way forward. Maybe for you, my friend. But not for me."
You have never had a clearance before so it is obscure to you. That was my area and it is not obscure to me. Some people made a big mistake and are going to jail for a long time.
These things are rarely reported on but they happen.
"Bernie says Trump is a pathological liar."
If Bernie had said that about Hillary, instead of folding like a wimp when he was railroaded by the Dems, he might be president today.
I say we dump him at the confluence of all the sewer rivers somewhere off Rio.
"What have you guys got against President Pence?"
Nothing at all, actually. Glad you're OK with him.
Ok, so exiledonmainstreet never organized anything. Except for where to hand out the bags of peanuts to throw at people who actually know how to stand up for what they believe.
Got it.
Good job, exiledonmainstreet! Such leadership qualities have rarely been exhibited in someone so otherwise unaccomplished as yourself!
Hopefully they will give you the Congressional Medal of Freedom for your brave efforts in never standing for anything.

Ok.... so I guess now would be an interesting time to learn. Are you saying you knew something about unprosecuted cases from the past, that apparently never could have made it for some reason to a grand jury?

Nope. That just reads like DC deep state pulling a coupe. We will make the rubble bounce.
"What have you guys got against President Pence? You're worried you won't like him as much as President Bannon?"
Not interested at all in a Pence presidency. I would have to consider him part of the coupe. You don't seem to get the only people we trust less than democrats are the GOPe. Democrats are enemies, most dc republicans are traitors.

Ok, well you know how to do it so let's get this show on the road!
Remember, impeachment isn't the only way. Amendment 25 also works.
Are you still in WI? I can let your senators/congress critters know that a letter from you is on its way.
Thanks!
Bobbing.

Thank you for your candor. I guess then Bernie or Bust 2020 is the only way.
And not that I have anything against coupes, but some people of course will prefer sedans. ;-)
Exiled just comes to blogs and vents her spleen, which always seems to be in great need of venting. I've never known another commenter that spews so much venom so often. What makes her so perpetually angry? I wonder if she ever has a serene day or night. I bet she grinds her teeth in her sleep.

Wrong. Not going back to the bush years. That is all a pence presidency would be. I bet pence would find a way to pass a new entitlement just like bush did.
Removing the ban on excluding pre-existing conditions
The existence of chronic, diagnosable medical conditions makes the economics of health care really difficult, because the insurance model doesn't make sense. That's why Obamacare - the best the Democrats could do, with both houses of Congress and an incredibly popular president - is in an unrecoverable death spiral. You can run a business that says, "in exchange for a reasonable monthly payment, we will guarantee you a certain amount of money in the unlikely event that something terrible happens to your car or house". You can't run a business that says, "in exchange for a reasonable monthly payment, we will guarantee you an unlimited amount of money in the absolutely certain event that you keep having the medical condition you've already been diagnosed with."
w.r.t. starting the rally with "The Lord's Prayer" - my wife and I agreed: masterful trolling!
That's why Obamacare - the best the Democrats could do...
If the same Heritage Foundation that came up with it has something better, we'd be happy to look at that, also.
On another note, why are we all up at this at 2 AM?
We really all need to get lives.
Madame Dumkopf aka Inga blathered:
You trust your media sources Achilles, I'm quite sure of that. However Infowars and Breitbart are not connected to reality either"
It's so cute that you think you are somehow connected to reality. This poll was taken in September 2016:
"In Gallup's annual poll measuring Americans' trust in mass media, just 32 percent of those surveyed said they had "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in the media, down eight percentage points from 2015."
It's the second time today you've been shown to be an asshole, Inga. Tell me, are you trying for a prize for Dumbest Internet Commenter? You're sure working hard for it!
We find mice... amusing.

Auto correct is everyone's friend. I thought it looked odd but I went with it. Stupid me.
But seriously taking trump out is not the way forward especially not for Bernie supporters. Hopefully you get a less compromised leader and become a legitimate opposition party. Trump is destroying the machine that keeps your voices from mattering. You should be cheering him on.
"What makes her so perpetually angry?"
Ah, more projection from Madame Dumkopf. I'm laughing at your stupidity.
The Trump voters I know are happy. That was a cheery crowd in Florida.
It's the left that is grinding it's teeth and crying itself to sleep:
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of Americans are dealing with some form of depression or anxiety directly related to Donald Trump’s presidency. An estimate from the nonprofit RTI International says that 42 percent of Americans will likely suffer some form of TDD by 2020, the year Mr. Trump will be up for re-election."
Awwwww, poor little Inga! Do you need your binkie and your favorite blankie to fall asleep at night so you don't dream of the Trumpenmonster?

Another "conservative" dc tool leading people on the right to vote for something they don't want fed by wealthy people.

Because this was a good conversation and kids kept me up anyhow. They are sleeping now so night.
If the same Heritage Foundation that came up with it has something better
I don't know about the Heritage Foundation that exists only in your tiny little deluded rage-filled mind, but here in the real world, that's just a stupid bit of spin Obama liked to throw around when he was in his "basically I'm sort of like Reagan" phase.
And speaking of Heritage and 1993, when you bring it up, I hear, "Cling to the past, be a partisan, and focus more on party squabbles than the future."
"But you are that stupid. Stupid, stupid Inga. You know no more about politics than a Golden Retriever knows about calculus."
Try throwing a golden retriever a ball. That requires solving four simultaneous partial differential equations in four unknowns in a fraction of a second with a brain with a 100hz clock speed. I wish I'd known that little trick on a couple of finals that still occasionally show up in my bad dreams after 50+ years.
But I do agree with you about Inga.
There is some sort of sweeping insanity that has taken root in the right. We can only hope you people come to your senses before it's too late.
Exiled was probably nuts long before Trump, no hope for her. She has so much extra bile she must spew before she blows.
Impeachment isn't the only way. Section 4 of the 25th amendment provides a process for removing from office a president "unable" to carry out his duties.
Making your case to the electorate between now and the 2018 midterms and the 2020 election would be the American way to go about it. Your suggestion is something straight out of the Kremlin playbook, to borrow a phrase.
Gotta wonder if Toothless is being paid by word, by post or is he just batshit crazy? Damn dude, you got a windshield wiper on your computer screen?
Here, hold my beer.
You have to love all the "good advice" Trump get from all his critics advising him to stop taking his message directly to the people rather than letting the media filter it first.
Gadfly- Trump is holding the rallies because it is a necessary thing to do to advance his agenda. He could request network time to address the nation, but I suspect he might well have done so and been turned down by all but the cable news networks. In that case, it makes far more sense to do a rally and force the news channels to cover that, if they still call themselves news channels. I think he is long since done trying it the conventional way- it simply isn't worth it.
" She has so much extra bile she must spew before she blows."
Sure, sad, little Inga. Keeping telling yourself that. It's one of the falsehoods you have to believe to keep yourself going - especially there in Waukesha County, where I am sure you are known as Sour Old Leftist Hag.
I repeat:
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of Americans are dealing with some form of depression or anxiety directly related to Donald Trump’s presidency. An estimate from the nonprofit RTI International says that 42 percent of Americans will likely suffer some form of TDD by 2020, the year Mr. Trump will be up for re-election."
Pop your Xanax, dearie!
But seriously taking trump out is not the way forward especially not for Bernie supporters. Hopefully you get a less compromised leader and become a legitimate opposition party. Trump is destroying the machine that keeps your voices from mattering. You should be cheering him on.
I want to believe this and I saw a way forward with it during the election. But since then certain things have bothered me, mostly his lack of focus and difficulty in proving that he can substantially change things that we're on board with changing. We also are not comfortable with his instinctive attacks against the independent judiciary or the media. An attack or two against this outlet he considers unfair or that is fine, but he seems to make a very angry unfocused crusade out of believing that he can destroy/attack entire networks or even the media as a whole. I can't believe that would come across as feasible. Every president has enough power to shape reality and not just respond to it, but his inconsistency is disconcerting. He just seems to change his mind way too often for us to trust that there is a solid direction at all. And his micromanaging and installation of proudly ambitious mini-disrupters with fiefdoms in their own right seems especially difficult. Steve Bannon doesn't have the qualifications to head NSC, he needs to have been more than an officer for that, but Trump trusts him and has trouble taking advice from others and seems to have bought into Bannon's vision that America is destined to become the next Holy Roman Empire to do battle with Islam. I think that's dangerous and as much a distraction as all the wars these guys complained that their predecessors were irresponsible in getting us into. And Trump should realize that we're not Europe. Europe has its own problems and is justified in responding to them in a much more draconian and consuming way to border control than I think serves us any good.
I'm sure there's much more that I can prattle on about but it's fascinating that despite all this the Washington machine is so entrenched that we simply found common cause around a much more fundamental and simultaneously conservative and progressive value: That screwing over the working class was not only unfair, but creating untenable disruption/chaos in American society and had to be ended.
Oh well, I guess we'll solve this whole thing another night.
Have a good one -
You too Toothless!
Roy Lofquist, that is true. My own Golden Retriever looks very put out and insulted because I compared him to Inga, when we both know he's much smarter.
I'll give him an extra treat to make up for it.
" But since then certain things have bothered me, mostly his lack of focus and difficulty in proving that he can substantially change things that we're on board with changing."
Now that is a fair enough criticism and one that concerns me as well. That entire 1:03 AM post was a legitimate and thoughtful comment - you can make them when you stop with the vitriol and honestly engage with the conservatives here. To be fair, I know Achilles has been much better at writing measured responses in this thread than I am, but when you lead off with insults, it's tough not to respond in kind.
My bulldog is prettier than Exiled. Nightly night, make sure to put in your tooth guard dearie.
No need for a mouth guard. I'm sleeping wonderfully well these days.
It's you that is crying herself to sleep over the Trumpenfuhrer.
I wake up and think "Hillary is not president and never will be" and it fills me with joy.
Remember that, little Inga. Trump won. Hillary did not.
Good night, Madame Dumkopf. Enjoy your utter powerlessness.
Hey, #51 are you Sugartits, or is your much, much stupider sister #11 Sugartits?
And which one of you is Inga?
#55 is so less stupid than either of you.
She cuts and pastes so much better than you.
Exiled,
I'm quite sure with your personality you sleep alone too. My bulldog saw a picture of you and ran away whimpering. Seriously though Exiled, you do need to ask yourself why your responses to commenters on a blog are so over the top angry most times. Yoga could help or meditation, you're such an angry woman, that can't be good for you in the long run.
The best way I could put it...
I'm so old I remember when Madame Trollyou used to send her used panties to bagoh20.
I just finished watching the rally on Youtube just now and skipped forward about 150 comments to say this:
Huzzah President Trump.
.223
Chickie,
Tell Bagoh he should send them to Exiled. She needs something feminine and pretty to wear to make her feel better about herself. Maybe she'll feel like a woman.
I'm sleeping alone tonight because my boyfriend is at a conference.
And what about you, The Not So Merry Widow, since you want to pry into other people's private lives like a creepy old Gladys Kravitz peeping through the window? Does that Republican plumber still hang around? If he's smart, he bolted like hell and found himself a nice, sane Waukesha County Trump voter.
Goodnight, Socky and Trolly, "Another day's useless energy spent"
Hahahaha, yeah riiiiiight. That's OK Exiled, no need to lie. When you get my old panties you'll feel much better and you might actually catch a man, good luck honey. Chins up!

Oh, my, I forgot about that. Yes, desperate for male attention, Inga was.
Obviously, she still is. Making a jackass of yourself daily on Althouse doesn't seem like a good way to go about it though. Hang around Whole Foods with a pussy hat on. Maybe some gray haired ponytailed hippie will talk to you for a while.
"When you get my old panties you'll feel much better and you might actually catch a man, good luck honey."
Yep, see, she is Inga. I can always spot her by her stupidity and spite.
Your old panties do not bear thinking about. You're in your 60's and you are sending men your panties? How disgusting is that? That's exactly the level of class and maturity I would expect from you. The poor men probably have to call a Hazmat team to get them removed from the premises
Exiled,
Displaying your vile personality and vicious temperament on a blog to strangers in political discussions reflects poorly on you. I actually do feel sympathy for you.
We are supposed to take the political insights of an old woman who mails her panties to men seriously?
Nah, you're not sad and delusional at all.
Exiled that was a joke from Chickie. But you seem to have no sense of humor, sad angry woman that you are. What makes a person so hateful? I always come away from any exchange with you with a very sad feeling for you. I really need to follow my instinct to avoid speaking directly to you.
Sure Inga, everyone loves you here! Nobody but me thinks you're a stupid old crone! Right. You're the laughingstock of this blog and I'm vicious to you because you richly deserve it.
Sad and delusional - and hungry for any attention, even mockery.
Now I really am saying goodnight.
You're right, it really isn't nice to make fun of such a pathetic, pathological attention seeker. I will say a prayer for you instead, Inga.
Toxic.
Wow, I think she may be both Inga and Sugartits!
Box wine? yes/no?
I'm delighted about that Jefferson quote. On Twitter I frequently post a list of quotes about the media, and that one heads my list, including complete attribution. I wonder if it was one of my own postings of that that got the attention of Trump's staff. Knoll's Law is also on my list.
Here are a couple of others on my list.
"The fat Russian agent was cornering all the foreign refugees in turn and explaining plausibly that this whole affair was an Anarchist plot. I watched him with some interest, for it was the first time that I had seen a person whose profession was telling lies—unless one counts journalists."
--George Orwell, "Homage to Catalonia" (1938)
"Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, not even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellectuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’."
--George Orwell, "Looking Back on the Spanish War" (1943)

Madame Trollyou said...Bernie says Trump is a pathological liar.
Bernie sold out to Clinton....CLINTON!
And I voted for him in the CA primary. You can't buy back integrity after it's sold.
More and more, when leftists screech about impeachment, or babble desperately about Trump lasting less than a year in office, what they're really saying is "please, oh please dear god, will somebody assassinate this man..."
Even the most hard-core leftist loonies know, in their heart-of-hearts, that the chances of Trump being legally removed from office are a pipe-dream, and despite all their screaming temper-tantrums, they are fundamentally powerless to stop him...
so the only fig-leaf they have left with which to shore up their fragile, battered psyches, is to fantasize that some "white-knight" SJW champion will come along and take him out, for the good of the country, or something... These people are having some serious mental issues over this election, and the only thing keeping them from slitting their own throats at this point is this sad, desperate fantasy.
So whenever you hear one of them talk about "impeachment"... don't be fooled... use the word you know they *really* want to say *wink, wink / nudge, nudge* and recognize the face of your enemy, a neofascist leftist.
Trump woud not have won the primary had JEB not been run.
Trump would not have won the general had Hillary not been run.
It's so simple.
Chuck blabbitied:
McCain and Graham (both of whom face no elections until after Trump's term as president)
Wrong. First term.
I would literally smash your head flat with a brick for your calumny of Barron Trump, but I'd rather watch you do it yourself after President Trump is reelected.
Approximately 9,000 people attended Trump's 2020 re-election rally.
Melbourne, FL has population of 80,000. Florida's population is nearly 20 million.
The Women's March brought out millions of people in the US and around the world.
Trumpies are getting worked up about 9,000 people. Jeez, take a tablet or some Oxycotin to relieve your pain.
Scrolling through the comments, the overall impression is, "Madame Trollyou, I am soon embarrassed for you."
"soooo" not "soon"

About your comment just above; you aren't really addressing that to me, are you? Because I expect that I have been more avidly pro-gun rights, for much longer, than Donald Trump. I am fairly certain that I have spent thousands of hours more in the field hunting with a firearm than Trump.
And very much unlike me, Trump supported the federal assault weapons ban in the 1990's. I believe firmly in the validity and permanence of Heller and MacDonald. Trump now seems to like the decisions as well, but as a more recent convert.
If you are attacking me on a gun rights issue, I have to ask; why?
Bernie sold out to Clinton....CLINTON!
Let me explain how politics works to the amateurs and other socially handicapped people.
You don't burn bridges, bite the hand that feeds you, or cut off your nose to spite your face.
There's no reason on earth to presume that Sanders thought Trump was a better candidate for him to support than Clinton. Trump campaigned on a message of bigotry (whether anyone agrees or not that was the impact), mendacity and instability, and had a record of supporting more oligarchs and plutocrats to buy off for his cause. Trump's cabinet picks alone are reason enough for no Democrat to have anything to do with him, let alone Sanders. And his erratic performance has tested most Republicans.
If you don't think that's reason enough for Bernie Sanders or anyone who got to run in the Democratic primary and rally that many millions of votes to support his opponent, then you know less than the guy who runs for town dog catcher and really don't have any business opining in a way people can take seriously about basic political reality in the U.S.
Seems this would be a good journalism project for a high school junior. retrieve the transcripts of 3 press briefings by year going back to beginning of Eisenhower's term and determine which asked adversarial questions, perhaps measuring aggression in the questions. e.g. "Mr. Kennedy have you and Jackie stopped you bisexual trysts yet? How long did it take your Gonorrhea to clear up?" Mr. Johnson.. Mr.. Nixon.. etc. Plot them year over year to see the trends from one side to the other and arguably who got the best press vice most competitive press (as would like to drive him out of office), especially when examined in the light of "facts" illuminated by history. Jack, when did your father stop shtupping his chauffer with her coming so loudly it could be heard up the street with your mother in adjoining room? What suggestions do you have for men to satisfy so completely their kept women in the same way? Ditto assassinations in Vietnam.
Certainly someone else said it but, Ann, is Fox News really a news organization or is it Faux news as I have heard it derisively stated?
Was there an attack in Sweden????? No, that's fake news. Donald Trump Style.
Can't believe anything he says.
Vicki from Pasadena
Unlike almost everyone else in the 18th century, Jefferson and Thomas Paine wrote in a contemporary (to us) style.
"The media is trusted by around 30% of the public. 59% believe trump keeps his promises."
The people who believe Trump keeps his promises are less perceptive than those who distrust the media.
"The people who believe Trump keeps his promises are less perceptive than those who distrust the media."
Many of those people belong to both camps.
"Trump has to deal with McCain. And Lindsey Graham. And Ted Cruz. And Mitch McConnell."
And those 4 senators will have to deal with their own constituents in Arizona, South Carolina, Texas, and Kentucky — states that voted last November for Trump, respectively, 48.1%, 54.9%, 52.6%, and 62.5%.
I noticed that the First Lady used the Book of Common Prayer/Protestant version of the Lord's Prayer, as opposed to the King James/Presbyterian, or Roman Catholic version. This could split the Religious Right./sarc
