    Normally sound advice from doesn't apply to . For Trump, acting like a spoiled child is second nature while acting presidential is completely foreign to him.

    President Trump becomes first president since 2002 not to visit troops at Christmastime.

    Yesterday, Gen. James Mattis USMC provided House and Senate GOP with a standard of behavior based on conscience, character, courage and commitment to values rooted in something larger than self survival. Who among the GOP will step up?

    Really McConnell? Have you been in a cave for the last 2 years? has repeatedly displayed his global ignorance, his subservience to Putin and you act all innocent? You are complicit and guilty of selling out our country’s interests.

    More important is how many Republicans in Congress are looking in the mirror now asking themselves what the fuck have we done to the country and how do we stop this madman, right now? The answer is none.That’s what’s appalling. The is without a moral compass.

    Just wondering ...How many people who voted for - for whatever reason - look in the mirror now, asking themselves, “What the fuck have we done?”

    The first Gov. Cuomo (Mario) was talking about this in the 1980s and 90s but couldn't get a divided, intransigent legislature to clean up the $$$ in politics. This will be a big win for (Andrew) and for all New Yorkers if he gets this done.

    We can’t let special interests control our democracy. We will close the LLC loophole, ban corporate campaign contributions, enact public campaign financing, and end outside income for lawmakers.

    How long until rally mobs start chanting “Lock him up” when Trump mentions Sessions by name?

    ....a persecution of the President.” Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal. Thank you, people are starting to see and understand what this Witch Hunt is all about. Jeff Sessions should be ashamed of himself for allowing this total HOAX to get started in the first place!

    Maybe during the job interview they’ll swap stories about who was better at committing adultery when married to their first wives. Now, years later and are a match made in heaven.

    Anyone remember other world leaders turning a terrorist attack into a cheap political tweet? Me neither.

    Another very bad terror attack in France. We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and Nancy must give us the votes to get additional Border Security!

    New sign on the Resolute desk: “The buck stops anywhere but here.”

    BREAKING: GOP consultant tells me Trump is “absolutely enraged” by the news coverage of his meeting with Pelosi and Schumer today. Trump apparently blames Pence for not speaking up. He thinks Pence “lost it for him.” And he wishes he never held the meeting, calling it a “set up.”

    First bill that House Democrats should pass and send to GOP Senate is item #1 on list - and include "presidents" as well as candidates. Let's see how many Republican Senators actually have the backbone to stand up for integrity and ethics.

    How can we strengthen our democracy? Recommendations by our bipartisan National Task Force: ✔️ Presidential candidates must be required to release tax returns ✔️ National security review of financial holdings ✔️ Laws to prevent firing of special counsels

    We need distric lines that keep communities together as much as possible. It’s just not that hard. Independent Commissions will do what cheap politicians never will. is 100% right on this.

    An independent redistricting commission would be a win for and democracy in the state.
