[Looks like President Trump nailed it in Europe when he took fellow NATO members to task about their defense spending. Besides Merkel’s epiphany, other countries are starting to realize that they’re pretty much incapable of doing sh!t when comes to defending themselves. Now that's presidential leadership.

“Napolitano told Smith that he doesn’t anticipate the president will take today well.
“I know how strong and towering his personality is and I know how strong his opinion is of his own ability to get things done,” he continued. “You may see that clean sweep in the west wing that’s been rumored for a long time, from and after today.”
“You’re talking Sean Spicer,” Smith began counting off on his fingers. “Jeff Sessions.”
“Well, that was a shock too, to learn three days ago that his strongest supporter, his longest time supporter, his first supporter among Republicans in the U.S. Senate, the person he probably talked to about becoming Attorney General a long time ago, is so disgusted with the way things are going that he offered to resign,” Napolitano replied throwing up his hands.”

Keeping fishing and pulling out those beautiful boneless browns….trout that is, not POC. There is a difference between POS and POC, but let’s get back to Golden Shower.
So far all we got is Trump is a big fat liar, the Left has no sense of humor and takes everything sooooo seriously, and the dirty little secret is that they have nothing on Flynn in regards to the Putin Connection, except an auxiliary Scotter Libbyesque charge. Akin to Martha Steward folding sheets in The Big House….and not for playing the market with insider information.
It’s all in Trump’s Golden Shower tax returns. Look there. After drowning some worms, don’t forget to set the hook.
Uncover, discover, discard is the way to Enlightenment. Or not. Colin Kap is still unemployed, the smoking gun is a cap pistol, and the prairie fire promisec by Mainstream Fake Media is just a smoke bomb.
You know, I was skeptical of Global Warming at first, but seeing all the Snowflakes melt since Trump won the election is making me come around to thinking there might be something to AGW. Shoot howdy, today already I heard more pops from exploring heads than you hear pops going off at a Chinese New Year celebration.
Keep digging, keep fishing, and please keep uncovering, discovering, but never discarding.

well well well. We got us an old fashioned Obstruction of Justice investigation going down with Trump as we speak. Game on. Remember guys its pronounced Bob Muller. Some of you may be confused like Mr. McCain. Very confused. Indeed it’s great that it is now a fact that the Boy President canned Mr. Comey to obstruct the investigation. So y’all Repubblies, righties and fascict types should best settle in for a nasty couple years, with more than a couple indictments of Trump pals and cronies. Old Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is in a world of hurt from what we also heard today. Something about that undisclosed and mysterious Russian meeting and some big time perjury I reckon. Not to mention the multiple other investigations going on spanning the globe to see what the hell was going on with family and business Trump and Kushner, Mannefort and Stone, not to mention Mr. LockerUp himself, the soon to be Mr. LockHimUp. I cannot wait to watch the perp walk. Now lets just take a look at those tax returns and make it easier on everyone.
It is true karma that Trump will be known forever in history as a serial liar and certified obstructor of justice. very cool. And so very much deserved.
