Trump to speak at religious conference during Comey testimony

Source: The Hill


BY JONATHAN EASLEY - 06/06/17 10:37 AM EDT


President Trump will address a group of religious conservatives at a hotel in Washington on Thursday as former FBI Director James Comey testifies on Capitol Hill.

The Faith & Freedom Coalition announced Tuesday that Trump will address the “Road to Majority Conference” at Washington’s Omni Shoreham Hotel at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.

Comey’s highly anticipated testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee will be going on at the same time.


Trump fired the FBI director in a dramatic move last month that has led to charges that the White House was seeking to influence an FBI probe into alleged ties between Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

I think his life is spiraling downward at an ever accelerating rate. It wasn't supposed to go this way. Who knew so many people would wake up and oppose The Don and his merry band of crooks?

Nope, this is not what they expected at all. I think little hands end of life experience isn't going to go the way he visualized it.

There is not enough wealth on the planet to convince me to step into that clown's shoes: nasty, nasty business he's gotten himself into.

So sad.

He could have said, "just kidding!", walked away, and written a book. No sweat. Now he's in big trouble.

but I truly wish he'd been able to restrain himself and not have rained down abuse on the oh so deserving Dumpster during the White House Correspondents' dinner. If you look at that video and study Dumpy's expressions you know that had something to do with his decision to stay in. Plus hey, if the black guy could do it, how hard could it be to run the country?

When I read in the reviews that they hosted CPAC and other right wing conferences it got deleted off my list immediately. The stretch of sulfer will be permeating there big time on Thursday, the hotel of Satan in my opinion.

Hotels take in travelers and conferences of all kinds. Pretty sure that's the law. They don't get to pick and choose who they let stay there.

Social Security checks and all he'd have to do is promise to pray for them. Surprising he hasn't done it before.
