    Yeah. Thank God the Obama administration never revoked a security clearance in an act of political retribution.

    Trump is a self proclaimed Multi-Billionaire (without evidence). A man who said he’d self finance his presidential campaign (a lie). If he wanted a military parade, he’d pay for it himself. Bill Gates has donated a minimum $28billion to charity. Warren Buffet donated 3.17 billion to the Gates Foundation. And has made provisions to donate 37 billion from his estate.

    Trump? Not much

    It would be nice if he paid for his golf trips. I don't expect much from someone once soaked in $4 billion in debt, though.

    So basically every indefensible thing Trump has done, Obama and the Clintons have done too?

    When you're citing the Daily Caller, you'd need to draw five new cards to have nothing. PS: A personal peeve. Ocasio--Cortez foolishly closed a town hall in Queens to the press, although it was live streamed. She's said it won't happen again. National Washington reporters such as Haberman are still tweeting about it in full Peter Zenger mode. I'd love to see those motherfuckers spend a season covering the Patriots, or Nick Saban, or any NHL team come playoff time. I think doing anything for access makes for a lazy-ass reporter.

    You should be careful about reading articles from stooges in propaganda rags like The Daily Caller or the Babylon Bee. Contemptible racist and dishonest trash written for lowlife scum of limited intelligence.

    Looking forward to Trump's final walk to Marine One when his term is over and whoever follows him leans over while the troops are doing the traditional review and say "hey, you finally got your parade."

    The sick thing about the GOP - really sick - is that they rationalize jacking up the debt through spending cuts and military spending by figuring it will eventually force a cut to social spending when we can't even afford to pay the interest on the debt.

    So the judge in the Manafort trial says he has gotten death threats. So many questions:
    1) Isn’t it uncommon for a judge to reveal such things?
    2) Did the jury hear this revelation?
    3) Is he a big boy? Isn’t this part of the job at some point? QYFW.
    4) If the jury did hear, won’t this lead to a mistrial?
    Think about it. If I’m on the jury, I’m no longer thinking about justice. I’m most concerned with making sure nobody dies from this trial. So I’m going around the room and making sure there’s at least one vote on both sides of every count. We’re deadlocked, your honor. No chance of resolution on anything.
    The judge, whose contempt of the prosecution has been obvious before and during the trial, will be giddy to let them go. He’ll be on the stump for the Federalist Society in a week.
    I suspect a disproportionate amount of the threats are from those hoping for conviction. No matter. If I’m on the jury, I don’t care. I’m making sure nobody dies.
