Joe & Mika on @ 7...the show is taking the entire first hour to eviscerate the pig before roasting

YES,,,this is a DISTRACTION orchestrated by Trump, designed to take the focus off of failed TrumpCare and yesterday's voter suppression activities.

Still, for a cable-obsessed non-worker like Trump, sitting in front of the TV today is going to be one unpleasant little activity.

Other than his robotic wife's press secretary and the wookie standing in for Sean Spicer, few people have stepped up to "defend" him

I know it's a distraction, I know it's a ratings grab, that's OK.

It's like telling a NASCAR fan "it's just cars."

Six months of Trump means I need to hear a couple of hours worth of calling him an undignified pig.

C'est la vie.

We spent yesterday afternoon walking in the woods then barbecued for dinner. It was lovely.

But I couldn't wait till this morning to watch "Morning Joe" to see the reaction of the hosts and their panelists. I can't not watch this cat fight!

Later, we'll enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

His distraction's ALWAYS work. LOOK for a "war" in Syria, and a dust-up with North Korea.

Plus, as long as thuglicans have half a chance to destroy this country, it's inhabitants, and even their own constituents who voted for them/him, they'll stick with their president until the wheels fall off--thuglicans will follow him into the pits of HELL, if it means:


NO health care for children or for those who need/deserve it.
NO help for disabled or blind people, for cancer patients, or for the poor who work hard everyday.
NO health care for his/their own constituents.
NO Meals on Wheels for hungry elderly or hungry Vets who served this country and who voted for him/ them.
NO harsh words from Ryan, McConnell or from stupid HuckleLIAR.
NO to America.
YES to putin & the ruskies.
YES to massive tax cuts retroactively for the rich like them/him to the tune of
$7 MILLION PER YEAR. Not a one year tax cuts, but $7 MILLION PER YEAR.
YES to arm-twisting, to threats, & to BILLIONS in bribes from Santa McConnell to
throw 22 MILLION thrown off their health care.
YES to coffins & death for men women, children who don't matter ALL across this country.
YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, from his tRump's fervent supporters.


YES, his distraction's ALWAYS work. YES they always DO.

NOT much will change. Life with tReasonous, mentally deteriorating tRumputin goes on, with an assist from his YES people--the tReasonous thuglicans.

How about a post about about voter suppression activities instead of this crap?
