    Wait, he lied again?

    POTUS tweeted earlier that he's in the Oval Office. Per pool, as off 11 am there was no Marine guard outside the West Wing lobby, which there is when POTUS is in the Oval.

    Chaos in the White House is a hallmark of the Trump presidency – in just 2 years, Trump has churned 65% of his most senior aides – a record that rivals the entire 4-yr terms of his predecessors. From my annual for

    Actually, it doesnt appear that any US troops have yet left Syria.

    If anybody but Donald Trump did what I did in Syria, which was an ISIS loaded mess when I became President, they would be a national hero. ISIS is mostly gone, we’re slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants......

    Says the president who said Mexico would pay for the wall - or steel slats or whatever it is now - that he would be "proud" to own the shutdown, and that he would not blame the Democrats.

    I campaigned on Border Security, which you cannot have without a strong and powerful Wall. Our Southern Border has long been an “Open Wound,” where drugs, criminals (including human traffickers) and illegals would pour into our Country. Dems should get back here an fix now!

    Good lord. Claiming “socialism” was the driving force of Nationalist Socialist Party is like saying Scientology is a movement of scientist. NSP was the anti- Jews & Communist party. The Social Democrat Party was member of Labour and Socialist International. The Nazis crushed SDP.

    Liberal? No. But the fascists were socialists. Hitler led the National Socialist Party, remember? Also progressives like FDR were enamored of fascists like Mussolini. These are facts. W. Post can’t refute any of them so they create & knock down straw men

    We must not accept or be numb to amoral leadership. Thankful for patriots across the political spectrum who are speaking out.

    This “historian” thinks the Nazis were socialists just because of their party name.

    Thanks, Greg, for continuing to insist on this. "The Wall" is not "border security." The Wall is a symbol. Border security requires hard work and careful thinking. prefers symbols.

    Replying to @chrislhayes
    The conflation of "border security" with "the wall" is the central propagandistic device being employed by Trump and his GOP allies right now. The basic problem they face is that the public doesn't see them as synonymous.

    A VA secretary vacationing on the government's tab; an EPA administrator building a $43,000 soundproof booth for his office; an Interior secretary using a federally chartered airplane for nonofficial travel –– the D.C. "swamp" remains as stagnant as ever.

    It’s remarkable that Kelly now admits the chaos of travel ban implementation, thanks to Stephen Miller & Co, when he previously lied to the public and press. The reporting, it turns out, was spot on. Kelly was lying.

    The current theme out of some in the WH comms shop is “there’s no chaos to see in this White House,” a narrative Trump has hoped will replace the actual reporting. This Kelly interview affirms most of the real-time reporting about how it is there.

    For those who may have forgotten, there are still 24 Ukrainian sailors being held as “prisoners of war” by the Russians because they were sailing to a port in their own country.
