Hi...
So, it costs like $183 Million for security just for Trump Tower. Think of all the Meals on Wheels that would provide instead. Fake President isn't there anyway & not our fault his wife doesn't want to live with him. ;-);-)

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! Hope you are all wearing green.  I agree that it is ridiculous the amount we are having to spend to protect this President and his family. Of course, all Presidents and families should be protected, but this is ridiculous. As Linda said, it's not our fault that Melania wants to stay in New York. It's her choice, so Tweety should have to at least pay a portion of the additional cost for that. For us to have to pay for Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee (otherwise known as Don Jr and Eric) to flit around Dubai on Trump business is also not fair. Trump Corporation should be paying for that or at the very least a portion of it. We can't afford to feed people, but we can keep Melania safe in her glass castle as well as foot the bill for the Trump empire to grow even larger. Sean Spicer must have the hardest job in the world. How can he stand up there and continue to ignore all facts and logic? Sooner or later you'd think he'd just throw in the towel. There can't be enough money or fame in the world to make it worth it IMO. |

Did they do any research on choosing programs to be cut, or did they just willy nilly start slashing? Judging by the way the WH has functioned thus far, I think they just blindfolded Kelly Anne, spun her around a few times and let her throw darts.

Bill Moyers... Outsourcing –> Parts of Donald Trump’s drastic budget proposal — including the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting — were lifted straight from proposals from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, a group funded by corporations and wealthy donors to push extreme deregulation, tax cuts and climate denial in Washington. “Many of the White House proposal’s ideas are identical to a budget blueprint Heritage drew up last year,” Zaid Jilani writes for The Intercept. In response to Trump’s budget proposal, the Heritage Foundation had only one complaint: It doesn’t spend enough on defense. Huff Post article... highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/mercers/This is really is scary to think these people have access to Bannon. |

More and more keeps coming to light about payments to Flynn not just from Turkey but from Russia and who knows where else. So one is only left to wonder did Tweety's administration and campaign not do ANY vetting at all, or did they just not care until the you know what hit the proverbial fan and it was ditch Flynn to try and save themselves? If that was the strategy, it's not going to work.

I wonder if Spicer will hear "your fired" ....if not, if he even has an ounce of decency left in his being, Spicer should just quit, but I suppose power & greed has bitten him in the behind as well.

Very scary indeed. The Alt-Right with Bannon leading the way is taking over because Tweety doesn't have an actual thought in his head. He only wants to feel powerful, and he's quite happy to let Bannon run things while he goes around listening to his lemmings cheer. Felt embarrassed for Tennessee when he was in Nashville on Wednesday. That cheering crowd showed Tennesseans at their absolute worst. |

No one cares, Joyce, not even his supporters. What do all these people think will happen when the government they hate implodes & the country is left in chaos. Oh, sure there lives will be better!... Good god! I'm so sick & tired of these people....a bunch of whiners & complainers who care nothing for this country or their neighbors ...I'm more than proud to be a bleeding heart Liberal, at least I care, ...going to the bench cause I'm more than mad this morning! ..flipping off the TV when Trump was on is getting exhausting...

Tillerson cuts short his Korean trip citing fatigue. What was that about "low energy"  We sure kept hearing a lot about that a few months ago during the campaign, yet Hillary just kept right on going throughout her term as Secretary of State as well as the campaign just like the Energizer Bunny. But Tillerson needed to come home and take a nap, never mind that we are at a very critical time with what is going on in Korea. So what if the crazy guy in the North decides to wipe out the South and maybe California too just for good measure. |

Linda, I agree that his supporters don't think far enough ahead to care. They only like the fact that they won, but once they realize the effect some of these cuts are going to have on them personally they still probably won't put 2 and 2 together to realize that they did it to themselves.
Rational people who made the mistake of voting for him are already starting to see the light, but the problem is there are very few rational people who actually made that huge mistake.

If Spicer is ever fired it will be because Trump throws him under the bus because he is just going out there and saying everything Trump tells him to say. Sometimes I feel sorry for the guy but after the hissy fit press briefing he gave yesterday (and most days really) it is hard to feel sorry for him most of the time. |
