He started flunking remedial sociopath once Roy Cohn was no longer around to change his answers. For a number of years editors have tried to clean it up in postproduction, but for this fish the head rot set in a long time ago.

Sorry to hear about Mrs. Nance.

The leaker is probably not Trump, since technically he cannot violate that statute. My money is on Kushner.


Just curious - is there just one statute?  And could not the potus violating it be impeachable?  Or abetting someone else to violate it?
The president has the right to declassify anything. He can be impeached for misusing that power, but not with the current Republican eunuchs in the Senate.

See what you mean.  Impeachment only has to get a spotlight on what 45 has done, not be successful.   I've come around to thinking it's worth doing, to erode his support among the passive middle - I realize it would not penetrate the armor of his True Believers.  He could hand the missile launch codes to Putin in a gala ceremony in Yankee stadium and the TBs would still love him, and his Senate psychophants would stick with him.

I think the fault with the current Democratic crowd is in thinking President Trump is not ADDING to his stable of "believers".  Big night last night in New Mexico.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

“I never met her. She never treated me nicely. But I would like to wish her family well. She was a professional, and I respect professionals. I respect you guys a lot, you people a lot. She was a real professional," Trump stated.

I think this one is from his loss of mental capacity rather than his usual casual lying.

   The new report illustrates that abortions are decreasing in all parts of the country, whether in Republican-controlled states seeking to restrict abortion access or in Democratic-run states protecting abortion rights. Between 2011 and 2017, abortion rates increased in only five states and the District of Columbia.

One reason for the decline in abortions is that fewer women are becoming pregnant. The Guttmacher Institute noted that the birth rate, as well as the abortion rate, declined during the years covered by the new report. A likely factor, the report said, is increased accessibility of contraception since 2011, as the Affordable Care Act required most private health insurance plans to cover contraceptives without out-of-pocket costs.   

A touch of irony that a Democratic initiative may have done more to reduce abortions than all the "pro-life" marching and clinic harassing.

Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday accused President Trump of spreading “lies that put my life at risk” after the president retweeted a post falsely claiming that the Minnesota Democrat “partied on the anniversary of 9/11.”

Omar said the video of her dancing was taken not on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks but at a Congressional Black Caucus event. Earlier Wednesday, Trump had retweeted a post by conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams claiming that the video of Omar dancing was taken on the anniversary of the attacks. The original video appears to have been taken Sept. 13.

“This is from a CBC event we hosted this weekend to celebrate black women in Congress,” Omar said in a tweet. “The President of the United States is continuing to spread lies that put my life at risk. What is Twitter doing to combat this misinformation?”
  - WaPo

Is there no lie so vile that the "President" would refrain from tweeting it?  Apparently not.  If the Gen Xers and Millenials start looking back in a few decades and decide to blame us Boomers for the condition of the world, I hope someone reminds all those political geniuses that they decided they were too "busy" to VOTE.  They got exactly the "president" that they deserve for that attitude.
