    Take a step back. Puerto Rico hasn't gotten $91 billion in hurricane emergency funds. I'm surprised that isn't the first reaction. Even by Donald Trump bullshit standards, that number is crazy. Why not just round it off to $1 gazillion trillion dollars? You can add up every PROPOSED budgetary item related to Puerto Rico that has nothing to do with disaster relief, and I don't know if you can come up with $91 billion without reaching pretty far up your ass.

    The GOP failed to come up with a rational healthcare plan long before POTUS showed up. It's antithetical to the conservative mantra of less taxes, less spending, smaller government.

    Remember the R's crushing any proposal from Obama to put a "Czar" in charge of a problem area? I guess now that we got tight with Russia Czars have become acceptable..

    He obviously wants someone who will handle immigration in a thoughtful and measured way. The candidates are Kris Kobach and Ken Cuccinelli.

    Trump considering naming an 'immigration czar'

    100 percent agreed. That was a big failing on his part. I think he figured Clinton was going to win, so it didn’t matter. But he allowed the GOP to set a terrible precedent that would have been worth fighting even if Clinton had won. He rolled over on that one.

    Yep, he should have said I'm president until January of 2016 and I intend to fulfill all of my duties until then, including naming justices to the Supreme Court. What the Senate is doing, by not even considering my nominee, is unconstitutional, and so, in their choice not to to even advise on this, I'm walking Merrick Garland up the court steps and into his office and literally seating him. Try and stop me — or do your job.

    It seems like there was some wiggle room in the language. Even if there wasn't, my biggest problem with President Obama was that he often tried too hard to play nice.

    His stupid base will still believe him.
