monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Crowd estimates from Women’s Marches on Saturday are still trickling in, but political scientists say they think we may have just witnessed the largest day of demonstrations in American history.

Now if anyone was really serious about draining the swamp, they'd kick all the men out of DC and replace them with women.

"Alternate facts" are facts the media omitted in their misleading reporting, eh, Ollie?

I must make a public apology to georgeob1 for personally insulting him on two separate occasions. If I could, I would delete my posts. My comments were rude and childish.


I also owe layman an apology. There are two ways to reply in opposition to another’s member's post: the right way and the wrong way. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong way. I had a legitimate objection to make, but I lost my temper and played the hypocrite. My reply to him was demeaning and extremely harsh. Again, I’d delete my post if I could.

I am ashamed of myself for submitting these posts. Believe it or not, I actually don’t behave this way in real life.

In light of what has happened, I will not be posting again for a while.

Hmm...How come they didn't resist him AT THE BALLOT BOX???

They did by almost 2.9million votes more than tRump got.

Whether she is an EFFECTIVE bully remains to be seen, however I think it is clear that her INTENT is to bully. I think that is concerning in a person in her position.

Alternative facts are a real advantage: now everyone can get her/his own facts, nothing is imposed, you have reality in your own hands, facts to the people!

If you think Conway is a bully, you're far more of a snowflake than I thought.

Using the same epithets to describe, without discrimination, all of Trump's advisers is intellectually lazy, not to mention childish.

"Snowflake"? How urban-dictionary-cool you are. But as I used to do some backcountry skiing, I got myself educated on avalanches and snow crystal formation. For example, under certain conditions, crystals can form as plates (imagine a six-sided stop sign). I've only seen this once (your eyes have to be very close to the snow surface). Quite beautiful.

As to the rest of your post, I didn't describe "all" of his advisers that way. I have described Trump with that word, and Conway, probably Spicer, and now Preibus is trying to play the big mean bully as well. None of this is debatable.

As far as I'm concerned, if a member of the media is caught purveying fake news they should be banned from the WH press room.

If the news agency that employed him doesn't denounce him the agency should be banned.

They should try those tactics in a Communist country and see how long they live.

The alt-republic needs an alternative name. Universal Shams of Alteristan?

The WSJ said it's unclear when the inquiry began or whether it produced any incriminating evidence. Its unknown if the matter is closer or ongoing. The report came hours after Flynn was sworn in Sunday, along with other senior advisers.

The key focus is a series of calls Flynn made to Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak on Dec. 29, the WSJ reported, the day the Obama administration announced sanctions against Russia.

The goal of the probe is to determine the nature of Flynn's contact with Russian officials and whether it may have violated the law, people familiar with the matter told the WSJ.

The report follows a similar one from the New York Times published Thursday that said intelligence and law enforcement agencies are looking at intercepted communications and financial transactions from former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and campaign advisers Carter Page and Roger Stone.

Trump is “not going to release his tax returns.”

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care," Conway said. "They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: Most Americans ... are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like."

“On taxes, answers (& repeated questions) are same from campaign: POTUS is under audit and will not release until that is completed,” Conway tweeted.
