Said the Birther. :lol:


The other day he said no politician had ever been treated as badly as he had been. Which resulted in a hell of a lot of people pointing out the assassinated Presidents.

Now he is claiming it is the greatest witch hunt, despite (as you said) he himself being one of the main proponents of the ridiculous birther witch hunts.

:lol:


The schadenfreude this is allowing us is wonderful :'D

Can American liberals now start some conspiracy theories that Trump had Roger Ailes killed to avoid him spilling the beans on dodgy Trump dealings?

Hear me Jesus, I will give you my soul if you allow us to see Trump literally crying on live television within the next few weeks, moaning that everything is unfair. Make it so, o mighty one.

Trump weighs downsizing Spicer’s public role
Several officials say Spicer is no longer expected to do a daily, on-camera briefing after Trump's foreign trip.

President Donald Trump is considering scaling back White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s public role, according to several officials familiar with the president’s thinking, as Trump also weighs a broader shakeup of his communications shop in the wake of several scandals.

The press secretary, who has turned into a household name over the past five months and garnered sky-high television ratings for his daily press briefings, has also drawn the ire of the president. He is no longer expected to do a daily, on-camera briefing after Trump’s foreign trip, the officials said.

The briefings have become one of the most dreaded parts of the president’s day, and Trump has told allies and aides he doesn't want Spicer, who has developed a belligerent persona from behind the podium, publicly defending and explaining the message anymore, officials added.

Plagued by crises that are engulfing his administration, Trump, in recent weeks, has been increasingly pointing his finger at the communications department to explain the administration’s failings. But that frustration isn’t new — in February, during an interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump gave himself an A+ for effort and a low grade for communicating.

Pence Creates PAC ahead of 2018, 2020 Elections

Vice President Mike Pence is launching his own PAC — the "Great America Committee" — to aid his own future political interests, including helping Republican candidates ahead of the 2018 midterms.

The group, which filed paperwork with the FEC on Wednesday, will be able to use the funds to cover the costs of the vice president's travels on Air Force Two to campaign on behalf of GOP candidates across the country.

This is the first time a sitting vice president has formed such a separate political arm. Former administration officials have used either party or campaign funds to cover travel costs.

A source close to the Vice President said the organization will "provide resources for the Vice President to actually support candidates who are supportive of the president's agenda."

The source also dismissed that there is any forethought into PAC being an infrastructure for a 2020 run of Pence's own. "Don't read into 2020 as anything other than his running for re-election as vice president in 2020 and supporting other candidates," the source said.

The group's formation will also allow Pence to transfer his old political profiles on donors, digital platforms and other campaign data to the leadership PAC.

Leadership PACs can accept individual donations of up to $5,000.

Two of Pence's top aides — Nick Ayers and Marty Obst — will head the new organization.

Ayers chaired the vice president's bid in 2016 and Obst, a longtime top Pence aide, served as his director of operations during the vice presidential run last year.

The pari helped launch "America First Policies," the pro-Trump super PAC established by several former campaign advisers following the election. Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh joined the organization last month.

Several past presidential candidates, including Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, established leadership PACs ahead of announcing their White House bids in 2015.

Donald Trump Jr could have inadvertently confirmed the Trump/Comey conversation

(Or he could be trying to say "even if it did happen, what's the big deal"

Top Republican on Senate intelligence panel: Michael Flynn's lawyers say he will not honor subpoena -

Got something to hide, eh?

Chaffetz to announce early departure from Congress

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is expected to announce Thursday that he is resigning before the end of this congressional term, according to three sources familiar with his plans.

Chaffetz did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. Multiple sources say he will leave Congress on June 30.

Chaffetz, 50, is chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the top investigative body in the chamber. He recently subpoenaed James Comey's memos, and invited the fired FBI director to testify next week before his panel.

So does that mean Chaffetz is supposedly resigning from the committee as well, or just distancing himself from Congress?

Can't imagine why unless he's being forced out, akin to Comey, which is the most suspicious move possible for Trump et al.

Whaaaaat? Is the US now at war with Syria? Or are they using that 'temporary combat zone' deal to avoid such things?

My name is Sean Hannity, commander of the Armies of the Right, General of the Fox News, loyal servant to the true emperor, Roger Ailes. Host of a terrible show, husband to a long suffering wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Anyone who has Hannity as their main source of news will be amazed if Trump get impeached as they'll have zero idea why other than it being some kind of liberal plot.
The guys just a complete joke.
