Courtesy of Raw Story:Trump just literally blew a kiss to James Comey at a WH reception for law enforcement pic.twitter.com/HwVq9DNdZd

On Sunday evening, Pres. Donald Trump welcomed FBI Director James Comey and a group of law enforcement personnel and first responders to a White House ceremony and appeared to not only blow Comey a kiss across the room, but also nuzzled his cheek in what looked like a kiss.
“Oh, here’s Jim,” said Trump in video from the White House before he made a moue-like shape with his lips that some viewers say looked an awful lot like the new president was blowing Comey a kiss.
“He’s become more famous than me,” Trump said as Comey crossed the room to his side, where the director received a hug and what appeared to be a peck on the cheek.
What do you think he whispered into his ear?
"Heck of a job Comey?"
One has to wonder if Trump is not attempting to influence the investigation into some members of his team by the intelligence agencies?
Currently they seem to be focusing on his new National Security Advisor:
U.S. counterintelligence agents investigated National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s communications with Russian officials, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday night.
Flynn is the first person inside President Trump’s White House whose communications are known to have been combed as part of a multiagency investigation by the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency, among others, into whether Russia’s government secretly helped elect Trump.
Yeah, I think that Trump would very much like to put a stop to this.

Yes, he's about to say, "Fuck 'em, every last one of them. My supporters are such fuckin' dupes. Thanks for giving me so much power!"
DeleteTrump is really saying, we'll get our dangingly bits together soon.
DeleteEven Trump's Friends Think He's a Five-Year-Old
ReplyDelete... But news coverage soon fixated on the protesters across the country Saturday that far outnumbered his supporters the day before. Trump was increasingly angered by it, sending his press secretary out to fuzz up the situation and to brag about Trump’s support, in the face of knowable facts that contradicted what he said about record crowd sizes.
....That Trump wanted Sean Spicer, the press secretary, to go out with props in the White House briefing room — two large pictures of the crowd — was trademark, people who know him say. Trump loves props.
One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House, like the news conference idea, and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV, this person said, so it is important to minimize that.
This person said that a number of people close to him don't like saying no — but that it has to be done.
How astonishing is this? This is coming from a putative friend and supporter, who's describing Trump exactly the way you'd describe a five-year-old.

DeleteTrump’s Whining Backfires as Media Rejects Lies, Posts More Pics of Small Crowd
ReplyDeleteIn the wake of Sean Spicer’s bizarre statement yesterday on crowd size, Margaret Sullivan observed that “the traditional way of reporting on a president is dead. And Trump’s press secretary killed it.”
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/01/23/trumps-whining-backfires-media-rejects-lies-posts-pics-small-crowd.html
NYT“With False Claims, Trump Hits Media on Crowd Turnout.” Trump, of course, would like that to read “With Alternative Facts.” "They ignored Trump’s totalitarianism in favor of treating him with kid gloves and obediently attacking Hillary Clinton."
DeleteDid Margaret Sullivan offer any ideas on how to resuscitate 'the traditional way of reporting' that spicer 'killed'?
DeleteSullivan gets paid well. She should offer up some solutions to go along with her fear mongering.
Revolting as usual! Every time he acts as though he's kissing (and he's doing it more often!) it's truly ridiculous. IT IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL!!!
ReplyDeletePlus, his anus lips and their protrusion are absolutely gut wrenching ugly!
He's a horrible potus and will never pull in the majority that opposed him from campaign days!
Nah -- his anus lips are in "kissing and suckling" by default. No kiss thrown I can see. Sucking up to him to get something, yes.
DeleteThat's how they do it in Russia only both cheeks.
DeleteHe is telling Comey: remember to plead the Fifth and I have the documents to pardon you all ready to go.

CIA: Trump Brought His Own Cheering Section to Saturday Visit
CBS News has confirmed what we all suspected about President Trump's visit to the CIA on Saturday:
An official said the visit “made relations with the intelligence community worse” and described the visit as “uncomfortable.”
Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign.
An official with knowledge of the make-up of the crowd says that there were about 40 people who’d been invited by the Trump, Mike Pence and Rep. Mike Pompeo teams....There were about 400 members of the workforce who RSVP’d for the event out of thousands who received an invitation in their email late last week. Officials dismiss White House claims that there were people waiting to get into the event.
We now have a president who travels with his own private cheering section and allows the press to film his events only from approved angles that hide this fact. People keep comparing Trump to Mussolini, but I'm beginning to think this might be unfair to Il Duce.

ReplyDeleteSince his mouth and anus are identical, how can we be sure he didn't fart at Comey?
ReplyDeleteRight. He's spewed too many brain farts.
DeleteThis is the way to combat them, let them know we are not buying their alternative facts, insults and bullying.
ReplyDeleteAlso we should respond when they “apologize” with the “it was only a joke”. Let them know we are no longer accepting their alternative apologies.
Midterm elections are coming up next year, we need to begin to let them know NOW, we are not putting up with this republican crap any longer.

Indiana GOP lawmaker faces instant backlash after posting meme mocking ‘fat women’ at Women’s March
..
Per USA Today, Indiana State Sen. Jack Sandlin faced instant backlash after he posted a meme on his Facebook page that showed a photo of the Women’s March with the caption, “In one day Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years.”...
Social media users quickly flooded Sandlin’s page with angry comments, and the senator deleted the post from his page late last night — and then claimed that he wasn’t the one who posted it on his own account.
“Not sure how that ended up on my Facebook wall but that certainly does not reflect my opinion of women,” he wrote. “People who know me will know that’s not my view.”.....

ReplyDelete"Sean Sphincter", according to the NYT
ReplyDeleteBefore his rise to Mr. Trump’s White House, Sean Spicer, the press secretary, was known around Washington as the somewhat beleaguered communications chief at the Republican National Committee, and before that, a spokesman around Republican quarters of the House.
But his brushes with the news media — and ensuing raw feelings — go further back than that, to his school days at Connecticut College, where he was a student government senator and his relationship with The College Voice was, shall we say, not terribly cordial. He may have even coined the meme “Sad!”
It started in April 1993, when The College Voice’s “This Week in Assembly” column detailed an amendment to ensure that an antismoking regulation would not affect existing rules for the creation of smoking and nonsmoking rooms for exams, sponsored by one “Sean Sphincter.”
That May, The College Voice allowed that Mr. Spicer was “unintentionally misidentified” and that the paper “regrets the error.”
This did not satisfy Mr. Spicer, who dashed off an angry letter to the editor about the article “in which my name was ‘misspelled.’”
“While those involved claimed that this was a copy joke that went unnoticed, I believe that it was a malicious and intentional attack. For a paper which claims to be run by ‘professional’ standards, I find it a bit sad that this type of reporting is explained as a simple part of production.”
And speaking of Mr. Spicer
The White House press secretary’s emphatic insistence that 1.5 million people attended Mr. Trump’s inauguration has become quite the national punch line.

CBS Confirms Trump Brought His Own Studio Audience To Clap For Him At CIA Speech
ReplyDeleteCBS News confirmed reports that President Donald Trump brought a studio audience to his visit with the CIA on Saturday. The news agency reports that an official said the visit left a wake of "unease," “made relations with the intelligence community worse," and was “uncomfortable.”
...Intelligence people were “stunned” and “offended by the president’s tone,” CBS reports. “U.S. government sources tell CBS News that there is a sense of unease in the intelligence community after President Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday.”
Also, Trump did bring cheering props, which fits with how he has operated previously in requiring a cheering section – a sort of laugh track of supportive extras like those his campaign hired for his announcement event. It has been confirmed by Trump insiders that the President loves props.
“Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign,” CBS continued.
The crowd was filled out with about 40 Trump invites and also, the front rows were senior CIA who were not cheering (on the video you can see their heads pivot to the cheers and laughter while not joining in), “An official with knowledge of the make-up of the crowd says that there were about 40 people who’d been invited by the Trump, Mike Pence and Rep. Mike Pompeo teams. The Trump team expected Rep. Pompeo, R-Kansas, to be sworn in during the event as the next CIA director, but the vote to confirm him was delayed on Friday by Senate Democrats. Also sitting in the first several rows in front of the president was the CIA’s senior leadership, which was not cheering the remarks.”
They told CBS that Trump certainly does have supporters in the CIA workforce, and they were standing off to the right, which I observe was the direction Trump directed his most needy remarks.

We are so totally screwed.
DeleteIs there anything this Trump cabal tell the truth about? Lying about numbers of people at a rally is very, very small potatoes as to what is coming.
DeleteThere wasn't even one day of "honeymoon" by the press for these liars, nor should there have been after media let the cheat to win the Presidency & Congress by their forelock-tugging, ratings-hungry 2-year-long coverage.
If they are to redeem themselves, their subsequent reporting starts NOW and it better have teeth in it. Do we give them a chance?
If they do well, email them, to let them know we are watching and will applaud when they put country before greed, and truth before "alternative facts" -- what a 1984 phrase.
A Free Press is not guaranteed; everything will be done by this admin. to put a stop to it. The media has to decide what side they are on even if it means they are shut down (in their present form).
It is encouraging to see how dumb Trump & his surrogates are. Too dumb to know they are dumb. I guess when you sell your soul, your brains stop working.
It is clear how evil fascism & dictators rise. We are watching it happen. We have to stop whining and fight, march, donate time and money -- and praise those media outlets (and Republican congressmen and women) that grow up and fight for Democracy, even if they lose their jobs, and impeach this imposter psychopath, who, now that he as won is bored and will escalate to win something even bigger -- world domination...?
And -- we need to work & vote at the grassroots level to keep fascists off of school boards, etc.
Politics is local -- do you feel safe? That's what freedom feels like.
Democrats Are Getting Payback As Trump WH Throws A Fit Over Blocking Of Nominees
ReplyDeleteAt his first press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer complained without a hint of irony about Democrats blocking the confirmation of President Trump's cabinet nominees.
...The fact the Trump White House is complaining shows that the Senate Democratic tactics are working. Democrats promised in December 2016 that they would delay Trump’s cabinet nominees and chew up most of his first 100 days in office. Republicans brought this on themselves with their unprecedented obstruction of President Obama.
Senate Democrats don’t have the power to block Trump’s nominees, but now that the shoe is on the other foot, it’s payback time.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/01/23/democrats-payback-trump-wh-throws-fit-blocking-nominees.html
They shouldn't just delay. They should resist every single one of them. Every Democrat needs to vote NO! NO to everything!
DeleteNo working with the Republicans on anything. No approving of anything or anyone coming from TRUMP.
They need to give Trump the "Obama treatment" only more so. Double it down. I don't want to hear from one spineless Democrat who caves and then tries to justify and explain his collaboration with the enemy. Because they *are* the enemy. They are the enemy of Democracy. They are the enemy of the United States. They are the enemy of the people.
There must be someway to change this.....ponder....ponder.....make my brain find answers to change intended outcome.

Here are the facts:
ReplyDeleteA sure fire way for trump to raise his approval ratings: RESIGN !!!!
------------------------------
Poll: Trump’s opening weekend gets lowest approval of modern era
Trump’s approval rating in the Gallup survey, conducted last Friday through Sunday, opens at 45 percent — the same percentage of Americans that said they disapprove of Trump’s first weekend on the job...
Barack Obama’s opening approval rating in January 2009 was 67 percent, George W. Bush’s was 57 percent in 2001, Bill Clinton’s was 58 percent in 1993, George H.W. Bush’s was 51 percent in 1989 and Ronald Reagan’s was also 51 percent in 1981.
Jimmy Carter’s first approval rating in 1977 was 66 percent, Richard Nixon’s was 59 percent in 1969, John Kennedy began his presidency in 1961 with a 72-percent approval rating and Dwight Eisenhower’s first approval rating in 1953 was 68 percent.
Trump’s initial approval rating is also lower than the scores for Gerald Ford (71 percent) and Lyndon Johnson (78 percent), who entered the Oval Office following – respectively – the resignation and assassination of their predecessors.......
Among respondents contacted only on Friday evening, 39 percent said Trump’s inauguration made them feel “more hopeful” about the next four years, while 30 percent said it made them feel “less hopeful” and another 30 percent said it didn’t impact how they view the next four years. That is on par with reactions to the second inaugurals of Obama and George W. Bush, though far short of the 62 percent who said after Obama’s first inaugural they were more hopeful about the four years to come.

What the Democrats NEED to do is keep their eye on the ball and start now for a push to win the war. That means taking back state legislatures and governor's seats as well as the House and Senate.
