You are starting to hear more whispers that he is getting more unstable. I think that is evident by his tweets yesterday, and how he seems even more detached from reality when he spouts of his lies. I think the GOP leadership knows this, but they are pretending not to see, because they want to pass their tax bill. The bill that heavily favors the rich and corporations, that studies have shown will not further stimulate the economy, has trigger points that will increase the tax burdens on the middle class to help combat the deficit, and they are laying the ground work to gut social security and medicare when this tax cut ends up being a burden. Trump is creating a bunch of damage that may take decades to overcome, if that will even be possible, but he would not be able to do it if you did not have a Congress and Senate who don't care about the damage as long as their donors are happy and/or they feel they moral viewpoint is restored in their twisted vision of a Norman Rockwell world. Also, depressing is Moore will probably get elected and ultimately sworn in without much real protest.

He thinks he is responding to the British PM's twitter account - it is another woman named Theresa May. I have made mistakes e-mailing the wrong person etc., but I think this is one instance I would triple check I was tagging the right person, unless maybe he really thought the British PM only had 6 followers. Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 10m10 minutes ago Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine! He does seem like he is getting more and more unraveled.

It would be nice if the government in Britain officially condemned him on the floor of Parliament for those retweets. I have seen the tweets from some officials criticizing him, but I would love to see something official. I would like to see some of our allies stop trying to maintain a good standing with him and just straight out call him out for what he is.

Right after his tweets where he acknowledges some people might have been offended by his Pocahontas remarks and he apologizes for being insensitive to how other people might feel. Regardless of what his feelings were of Warren, he should not have put his own personal issues above the event at hand and he is sorry and after some serious thought and reflection he can see how the name would be considered a slur and he was wrong to use it. The Joe Scarborough tweet where he implies he might have been involved with the death of an intern who actually died of a heart condition is also something I have a hard time seeing FDR or Lincoln do. Eric's tweet about Pocahontas being a Disney movie, so how could it be a slur made me again question which of the older Trump sons is a bigger blight on humanity. I finally make up my mind and then the other one will do something that makes me re-evaluate.

MHGA!

Trump referred to Warren as Pocahontas as he was honoring some Native American vets (but adding "But you know what, I like you.") Oh - and he did this in front of the portrait of Andrew Jackson.

Funny how the defensive parts of the mind works - I had completely blocked out and forgotten about Nishi.

If I did not know any better - this is something that you would have heard almost verbatim on one of FDR's fireside chats. Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 31m31 minutes ago Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!

Yes - I think it has stayed on KDAL during all of the station changes.. This made me check my childhood Twins staion, WELY. I was shocked to see they have a play list of artists like Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen and a FM frequency. Back in the day, it was like a mixture of a radio version of Red Green and a cable access show with a fair amount of polka. I also saw no reference to polka anywhere on their webpage (or fishing). It was rather unsettling - some things you think will always be there and never change.

The lifting of the ban on imports of elephant trophies bothers me. There is no reason for it other than to negate something Obama did or do it as a favor of his sons so they can bring home more exotic trophies. He really could be a cartoon villain from the old school Saturday morning TV. On a different topic, I am glad the House is passing a tax bill that won't hurt their constituents at all...

He does have experience as a right-wing blogger, which will help him write his opinions. He somehow forgot to disclose that he is the husband of the chief of staff to Trump's White House counsel: The pictures of Trump laughing at Duterte and looking like they are best buds is also a little sickening. Trump does like leaders who rule with an iron fist.

Technically not Trump - but reflects the golden age of politics that he represents. (Unfortunately, Trump is more of a symptom of the state of affairs, and his eventual exit will not magically solve the broken state of our politics). On why it is ok for a Senate candidate Roy Moore to be with a teen: "Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”@jimzeigler, Republican State Auditor of Alabama Sadly, Moore has such a sorted history besides, that it should not have taken this to have people question him. Also, putting aside we should have different standards than 2000 years ago, Mary did not exactly become a parent because of Joseph.

I would prefer Hosmer crossing his name off the first base award and giving it to him. Wasn't he the least worthy defensively of the three finalists? Congrats Brian -- although I suspect it was not the defense that won him the award.

Combine this with Pence's philosophy of never being alone with a woman (and calling his wife Mother) you have a group of enlightened leaders who are going to really move things forward. If any other person called someone Pocahontas it would cause an outrage. Trump barely even gets called out on it. The bar is set so low for him he could probably have trick or treated in black face and it would be moved on from two days later (unless he kept reviving it in his twitter feed). He called Warren Pocahontas again today, three days after proclaiming November 2017 National Native American Heritage Month. Also, there is something unsettling about the President of the United States wanting use the DOJ and FBI as if they were his personal task force.

I suppose better now than January or February. Best wishes to him.

I think it began, "my Father and my name are going to get me this degree, so I don't actually need to learn anything or develop any critical thinking" (or empathy or soul...).

Sadly, Trump's tweets today were in direct response to talking points he heard on Fox & Friends - he even tagged them. He has all the intelligence available to him from various sources, but he goes by what he hears on what is basically a propaganda network. Also, his comments attacking Schumer, while reprehensible just for the fact that the day after a Senator had his own constituents killed Trump attacks the Senator rather than offering support and condolences, were surprisingly not that accurate. The bill he was referencing was signed in 1990, while Schumer signed the bill he was a rather junior senator, and the bill was signed by Bush Sr. It is not like it was a signature bill of Schumer's and the Senator is not responsible for the killings as Trump would like to imply.

One of the bigger evils this Presidency has created is giving his sons a bigger platform. They have all the arrogance of their father with maybe even less self-awareness and without whatever strange savvy Trump Sr has. @DonaldJTrumpJr Follow Follow @DonaldJTrumpJr I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism.

Mauer trying to find ways to move on from the snub. I suspect those girls might have him wrapped around their little fingers.

Trump would be a great poker player. When you look at his twitter feed of the last week, he has been so calm, cool, focused and collected, you would have never known something was about to break. He will do great working with the Asian world leaders next week, including the king of China.

He does seem to talk a lot at first base - maybe he annoys the other players. (kidding - and I have heard he actually has a sense of humor in real life). I suspect the players and coaches don't have a lot of time to watch the other players except when they are playing against them, don't study their stats from the current season, and vote more on the player's general reputation rather than who actually deserves if for the current season. I think that is why it sometimes takes a deserving player a few years to get in the running and why they often are still considered after their defense has slipped.

He will just have to show them by winning the World Series MVP next year.

He has not even had found time to even give it a tweet of support or acknowledgement. He has tweeted about ten times today, and it is all patting himself on the back, still talking about the election, and airing personal grievances. He also had time to spend four hours at his country club. Sometimes I don't think the welfare of the country is his number one priority.

Only Trump would actually say "I am better at calling the families of dead soldiers than other presidents". Very galling due to the fact that it took him 12 days to publicly acknowledge the loss of the soldier in Niger. At least someone actually called him on it and he had to back away from his statement and former Clinton, Obama and Bush people all responded that was not the case. The way he makes people who he is at odds with issue statements how great he is is very unsettling. I would say Mitch sold his soul today, but he made the sale years ago.

Sadly, this has been proven to be true in just about any sort of situation where someone can vote.
