Robert Mueller version of "From Russia with Love."

Yes, it's a little wishful thinking perhaps.

But you have to admit that it is well done.

So Robert Mueller interviewed Reince Priebus yesterday.

Courtesy of Politico:  

Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team on Friday, according to his lawyer, William Burck. 

“Mr. Priebus was voluntarily interviewed by Special Counsel Mueller’s team today. He was happy to answer all of their questions," Burck said.

The interview, which took place at the special counsel's office, was expected as part of Mueller's sprawling Russia-related investigation. Priebus had been preparing for several weeks, according to people who spoke with him.

Mueller's team is expected to interview a number of other current and former White House aides, including former press secretary Sean Spicer, current chief counsel Don McGahn and communications director Hope Hicks.

I know that Trump is forcing his staff and administration to sign NDA's but I wonder if those hold up to interrogation by Mueller's team?

After all Trump humiliated Priebus during his entire time with the White House. One would think that he would not be terribly determined to keep his former bosses secrets for him.

And we certainly know that Priebus knows him some secrets.

In other news Roger Stone may, or may not, have revealed the guy who connected him to Julian Assange.

Courtesy of CNN: 

An attorney for Roger Stone says the longtime confidante to President Donald Trump has complied with the House Russia investigators' request for him to provide the identity of his intermediary to WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange. 

But Stone's attorney, Grant Smith, would not say whether that meant Stone had in fact revealed the identity of his WikiLeaks go-between to the House intelligence committee. 

"Mr. Stone has complied with the committee's requests. No further statement will be issued," Smith said, declining to answer any additional questions.

I do not have a lot of faith in this House investigation and to not expect them to come up with  much, but hopefully if they get any information it is being fed to the Special Counsel.

Every day it seems we get just a little closer to the truth.

Lawyers for Trump aides advise them not to lie to protect their boss.

Courtesy of Politico:  

Lawyers representing Donald Trump’s current and former aides are giving their clients one simple piece of advice: Don’t lie to protect the president. 

As special counsel Robert Mueller and congressional investigators prepare to question high-ranking aides — including Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer — in the coming weeks, Trump’s long history of demanding his employees’ complete loyalty is being put to the test.

But Trump stalwarts know the president is closely following the media coverage of the Russia case — and the last thing they want is to be deemed a turncoat whose answers end up becoming further fuel for investigators. 

Several of the lawyers representing current and former aides told POLITICO they’re actively warning their clients that any bonds connecting them to Trump won’t protect them from criminal charges if federal prosecutors can nail them for perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice. 

“What I always tell clients is you can’t protect anybody. You can only hurt yourself,” said a lawyer representing a client involved in the Russia probe. The attorney added that any overt attempts to protect Trump will raise wider suspicions of a cover-up, making matters “worse for everybody.”

At this point, considering the loyalty that Trump demands of his people, I would be willing to bet that somebody is going to get charged with perjury. I think is kind of baked into the process at this point.

They will either do it out of some sense of gratitude or loyalty, or because they actually believe that Trump will ultimately protect them.

I would suggest that neither Sean Spicer of Reince Priebus are among those in danger of facing jail time however, as I see both of them as having been around politics too long, and having been too mistreated by Trump, to sacrifice their freedom to protect him from what they likely see as his unavoidable fate.

The thing about this Mueller investigation in particular is that he is going to gather a ton of folks who have knowledge of certain events, and if a Trump loyalist's story does not match that of everybody else they are truly FUBAR'd.

I am not certain that a person like Hope Hicks completely appreciates the gravity of their situation however.

She would be my first choice as one who would go down with the ship.

Robert Muelller wants to talk to White House aides. Including the ones that Donald Trump treated like crap.

Courtesy of WaPo:

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has alerted the White House that his team will probably seek to interview six top current and former advisers to President Trump who were witnesses to several episodes relevant to the investigation of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the request. 

Mueller’s interest in the aides, including trusted adviser Hope Hicks, former press secretary Sean Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus, reflects how the probe that has dogged Trump’s presidency is starting to penetrate a closer circle of aides around the president. 

Each of the six advisers was privy to important internal discussions that have drawn the interest of Mueller’s investigators, according to people familiar with the probe, including his decision in May to fire FBI Director James B. Comey. Also of interest is the White House’s initial inaction after warnings about then-national security adviser Michael Flynn’s December discussions with Russia’s ambassador to the United States. 

The advisers are also connected to internal documents that Mueller’s investigators have asked the White House to produce, according to people familiar with the special counsel’s inquiry.

My favorite thing about this is the fact that Trump TOTALLY abused and humiliated both Reince Priebus and Sean Spicer, so you have know that they want to spill their guts big time.

That Hope Hicks woman might be a tough nut to crack, but both Priebus and Spicer look like the prison bitches in those movies who sing like canaries the second the screws bring them into the warden's office.

Mueller has others on his Christmas list as well.

In addition to Priebus, Spicer and Hicks, Mueller has notified the White House he will probably seek to question White House counsel Don McGahn and one of his deputies, James Burnham. Mueller’s office has also told the White House that investigators may want to interview Josh Raffel, a White House spokesman who works closely with Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. 

White House officials are expecting that Mueller will seek additional interviews, possibly with family members, including Kushner, who is a West Wing senior adviser, according to the people familiar with Mueller’s inquiry.

Kushner is another soft touch who will start talking the minute he learns the only food they provide during the interrogation is from a vending machine.

Once again, Donald Trump is fucked.

The Mooch is out!

Scaramucci is OUT as WH comms director. Chaos in the Trump WH much? Just wait till he gets us into a stupid war. https://t.co/qiSP6ZVoII

— Steve Silberman (@stevesilberman) July 31, 2017

Courtesy of the New York Times:  

President Trump has decided to remove Anthony Scaramucci from his position as communications director, three people close to the decision said Monday, relieving him just days after Mr. Scaramucci unloaded a crude verbal tirade against other senior members of the president’s senior staff.

Mr. Scaramucci’s abrupt removal came just 10 days after the wealthy New York financier was brought on to the West Wing staff, a move that convulsed an already chaotic White House and led to the departures of Sean Spicer, the former press secretary, and Reince Priebus, the president’s first chief of staff. 

The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci, who had boasted about reporting directly to the president not the chief of staff, John F. Kelly, came at Mr. Kelly’s request, the people said. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge.

Okay so I think currently Scaramucci holds the record for the shortest White House tenure in history.  Especially considering the fact that the Mooch did not officially have the job because his business affairs were not yet settled.

Is there a such thing as a negative number tenure at the White House.

Right now somewhere Reince Priebus is bent over with laughter.

By the way keep in mind that the hunt is now on for a THIRD White House Communications director, and this presidency is only seven months old. 

Reince Priebus is toast!

Courtesy of Politico:  

Reince Priebus, is out as White House chief of staff, and President Donald Trump announced on Twitter on Friday that Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly will replace him. 

A senior White House official said Priebus had resigned on Thursday. 

"I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American and a Great Leader. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration," Trump wrote. 

He added, "I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!" 

Priebus' resignation follows a sustained attack campaign from new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who went on an expletive laden rant against Priebus to the New Yorker earlier this week, calling the chief of staff a “f------ paranoid schizophrenic” and accusing him of trying to “c--- block” him and keep him out of the West Wing. Scaramucci had also accused Priebus of leaking to try to undermine him. 

So I guess the Mooch stays and Priebus gets the bum's rush.

Let's face it Scaramucci is Trump's kind of people.

Brash, loud, vulgar, and completely full of shit.

By the way I seriously doubt that the source of the White House leaks leads to Priebus.

I have a feeling that somebody dodged a bullet and is laughing their ass off behind the scenes.

Let's see, since taking office Trump has fired White House usher Angella Reid, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, US Attorney Preet Bharara, FBI Director James Comey, Chris Christie (According to some), former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was allowed to resign to avoid the shame of being fired, Sean Spicer up and quit, and now Reince Priebus gets the boot.

For somebody who claims he hires "the best people" he certainly goes through them in a hurry.

Sean Spicer quits.

BREAKING: AP sources: White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has resigned over hiring of new communications aide.

— The Associated Press (@AP) July 21, 2017

I guess Spicey did not like the news that Trump is bringing in Anthony Scaramucci to do his job.

I'm telling you right now this is just the beginning.

Remember the spokesperson for Trump's legal team also just quit.

There are also rumblings that this is a temporary position for Scaramucci and that his ultimate job trajectory has him taking over for Reince Priebus.

Shit's getting real now. 

So what about that bizarre televised cabinet meeting today where each member took time to kiss Trump's ass publicly?

Courtesy of CNBC: 

Typically, a president's initial comments mark the end of on-camera coverage of White House Cabinet meetings, with administration aides then escorting members of the small press "pool" out of the room. But Trump invited reporters to remain as he called on his senior-most advisers to "go around, name your position" and say a few words about the administration's work. 

"Start with Mike," Trump said, referring to his vice president. Mike Pence, whom Trump kept in the dark for two weeks after learning that then-National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had given the vice president false information earlier this year, responded by saying that serving as Trump's number two is "the greatest privilege of my life." 

"An honor to be here," said Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who recently offered his resignation amid strains over the Russia investigation. 

"My hat is off to you," said Energy Secretary Rick Perry, referring to the president's explanation of his decision to abandon a global climate change agreement. 

"We thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the American people," said Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, the subject of recent reports that Trump may fire him.

Okay seriously, WTF?

It's like Trump has gathered together a cabinet of Stepford wives who have been programmed to only deliver up compliments to their dear leader.

That creeped me out so bad it gave me chills.

Senator Chuck Schumer decided to find the humor in the event.

Yeah would be a lot funnier if this were not the fucking reality in the White House.

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus suggests that they might change libel laws so that Trump can sue the press.

Q: Is POTUS considering a constitutional amendment to change press laws?

PRIEBUS: "I think it's something that we've looked at." pic.twitter.com/fwZRMvsEjz

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) April 30, 2017

Courtesy of Mediaite:  

While he was still a presidential candidate, Donald Trump floated out the idea of changing the libel laws to make it easier to sue media outlets over their reporting. Now that he’s president, it appears that this is potentially one promise that he’s looking to keep, commenting last month about changing the laws to go after the New York Times. 

Appearing on ABC’s This Week, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was pressed on this and he let it be known that the administration is considering going down that path. (Of course, it isn’t clear what they can do as libel laws are different in every state.) 

“I think it’s something that we’ve looked at,” Priebus told host Jonathan Karl. “And how that gets executed or whether that goes anywhere is a different story.”

“So you think the president should be able to sue the New York Times for stories he doesn’t like?” Karl asked. 

After Priebus said news agencies “need to be more responsible” with their reporting and Karl pushed back that the real issue here is whether Trump should “have a right to sue them,” the Trump advisor merely said he answered Karl’s question and that they are looking into it.

Okay personally I think that on the New York Times Christmas wish list is that Trump try to sue them over one of their stories about possible Russian collusion.

Could you even imagine what they would do for their journalistic credibility?

Through the roof my friends, through the roof.

By the way it took Adolph Hitler almost a full year to take over the press and bend it to his will.

So if Trump wants to outdo his idol he has a little time to work on this. 

Secret Service on verge of collapse under strain of protecting the First Family.

Courtesy of The Independent:  

Protecting Donald Trump's family is putting a major strain on Secret Service agents, a senator from the US leader's Republican Party has claimed. 

"They are flat worn out," Jason Chaffetz told The New York Times, adding that more staff were needed to keep up with the demands. 

The agency has seen staff levels drop to approximately 250 agents and 350 administrative and technical staff, but it currently has around 40 per cent more people under its protection than in previous non-campaign years. 

Mr Trump's wife Melania and son Barron are currently living in New York's Trump Tower and agents have also been required to guard his four adult children and their families. 

The US leader has also requested protection detail for aides like Reince Priebus and Kellyanne Conway. 

As a result, dozens of agents have been temporarily pulled off criminal investigations to serve two-week stints protecting members of the first family.

So the Secret Service cannot conduct in depth criminal investigations because they have to split their forces between Washington, Florida, and New York and also protect the likes of Kellyanne Conway? 

Is this what the deplorables voted for?

You know perhaps the first thing that Donald Trump could do to attack the deficit is to insist that his wife and son join him in the White House, like EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT BEFORE HIM!

But instead he guts the EPA and takes 9.2 billions from education.

This is how Trump makes America great again. 

Trump administration enlisted top intelligence officials to counter reports about Russian/Trump investigation.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

The Trump administration has enlisted senior members of the intelligence community and Congress in efforts to counter news stories about Trump associates’ ties to Russia, a politically charged issue that has been under investigation by the FBI as well as lawmakers now defending the White House. 

Acting at the behest of the White House, the officials made calls to news organizations last week in attempts to challenge stories about alleged contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives, U.S. officials said. 

The calls were orchestrated by the White House after unsuccessful attempts by the administration to get senior FBI officials to speak with news organizations and dispute the accuracy of stories on the alleged contacts with Russia.

The White House on Friday acknowledged those interactions with the FBI but did not disclose that it then turned to other officials who agreed to do what the FBI would not — participate in White House-arranged calls with news organizations, including The Washington Post. 

The White House insisted the officials speak on the condition of anonymity — a practice President Trump has condemned.

Well, this is troubling.

You might also remember that Reince "twice and" Priebus recently stated that he was "authorized by the top levels of the intelligence community to denounce reports on Trump campaign contacts with Russia as false."

However there is no confirmation of this which has now placed quite a lot of pressure on a certain FBI Director to come clean:  

As the FBI declined to discuss the matter, pressure mounted on Comey to either counter or affirm the White House's account. Even the Trump administration urged him to come forward, which as of Friday was not happening. 

"Politicized assertions by White House chief of staff Priebus about what may or may not be the findings of an FBI investigation are exactly the wrong way for the public to hear about an issue that is of grave consequence to our democracy," Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement. "The American people deserve real transparency, which means Director Comey needs to come forward, in an open hearing, and answer questions." 

The push on Comey to publicly discuss the bureau's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is especially acute given his statements in the run-up to Nov. 8 that many Democrats believe cost Clinton the election. He detailed the results of the FBI's investigation at an unusual July news conference, testified on it for hours on Capitol Hill and alerted Congress less than two weeks before Election Day that the FBI would be reviewing new emails potentially connected to the case.

One would think after the Hillary Clinton debacle that Comey would feel compelled to gain a little credibility back by setting the record straight here.

But so far, nothing.

I swear the further this thing goes the more I wonder why this entire administration is not facing federal charges.

Oh that's right, all this only counts when Democrats do it.

Chris Wallace to Reince Priebus: "Barack Obama whined about Fox News all the time, but I gotta say he never said we were an enemy of the people."

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

The Fox News Sunday host, who earlier attacked Trump over referring to the media as “the enemy of the people,” went after Priebus early, at one time lecturing him, “You don’t get to tell us what to do any more than Barack Obama did. Barack Obama whined about Fox News all the time, but I gotta say, he never said we were an enemy of the people.” 

Addressing a New York Times report that claimed that top Trump operatives were in contact with the Russians prior to the election, Priebus complained about the media using “anonymous sources,” before calling it “fake news.” 

“I can assure you, and I’ve been to say this, that the top levels of the intelligence community have assured me that that that story is not only inaccurate, but it’s grossly overstated and it’s wrong and there’s nothing to it,” Priebus asserted. “If I can say that to the American people, then what does it say about the story?” 

“I get the fact that you don’t like some stories,” Wallace replied. “You say, because you weren’t part of the campaign before so that you can’t speak to that, you say that the intelligence community says that there were no contacts between anyone in the Trump campaign, no associates of Mr. Trump and anybody involved as a Russian agent, as to the campaign and collusion in the campaign.” 

“They made it very clear that that story in the New York Times is complete garbage,” Priebus replied. “Quite frankly they used different words than that, okay?”

To his credit Wallace pointed that Priebus, who had just complained about "anonymous sources," just did the same exact thing to argue that those news stories were incorrect.

It is interesting that Reince "once and " Priebus planted this flag so firmly in this absolute certainty that the intelligence agencies are not going to reveal that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Especially since these investigations are ongoing, and nowhere near completion yet.

That is unless Priebus knows the fix is in and that with Trump's new people in place there is simply no way that anything untoward will be revealed.

Things that make you go "Hmmm."

Trump team now coming out pretty aggressively against this recount effort.

 

"But this is the president-elect’s position right now and I would say he has been incredibly gracious and magnanimous to Secretary Clinton at a time when, for whatever reason, her folks are saying they will join in a recount to try to somehow undo the 70 plus electoral votes that he beat her by. I mean this — you know, I was asked on CNN and elsewhere, goodness a thousand times, will Donald Trump accept the election results? And now you’ve got the Democrats and Jill Stein saying they do not accept the election results? She congratulated him and conceded to him on election night. I was right there. And the idea that we are going to drag this out now where the president-elect has been incredibly magnanimous to the Clintons and to the Obamas is incredible."

 The above was from this morning, but Conway was also talking about it yesterday: 

“What a pack of sore losers,” she said in a statement on Saturday. “After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ‘Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality.” 

“Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident,” Conway said.

And then both she and Reince Priebus talked on NBC and Fox News about the recount:

Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Conway said the recount effort was “confounding and disappointing.” And Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, said on “Fox News Sunday” that the planned recount would serve “only to divide this country when we need to come together.”

No, actually this recount can serve to bring the country together by proving beyond any doubt that Trump legitimately won this election, (You know aside from all of that Russian hacking, unnecessary GOP investigations, and FBI putting their thumb on the scale of course.)

The only way it would further divide the country would be if.....Oh, so perhaps there is something to find here?

By the way do I even need to remind everybody that Trump once said this: 

"I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election - if I win," he said. 

He added he would accept "a clear election result," but reserved the right to contest or file a legal challenge in the case of a questionable result.

And that was BEFORE the election even took place.

Yet now that he has "won," he would fault the Hillary campaign, or anybody else, for wanting to request a recount?

I guess it really doesn't matter that my irony meter has been broken for over a year now, because this would probably just break in anyhow.

Bernie Sanders' campaign manger heaps praise on RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.

Courtesy of Politico:  

Noting a report that quoted a Clinton source remarking that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz "poured gasoline on the fire" in the wake of the chaos of the Nevada Democratic Convention, Jeff Weaver told MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that she "really escalated the situation."

Weaver dismissed the notion that there are back-channel conversations about replacing her as chairwoman but remarked that, "I think unity in the party is much easier to achieve if we have consensus and a chair who was committed to playing the traditional role that the chairs of parties play." 

What Wasserman Schultz did is "really not the role a party chair should traditionally play," he continued. "I mean, if you look at the Republican side, the party chair there has been working day and night to try and you know, keep everybody together and to try unify the party." 

I'm sorry what?

By just about every standard Reince Twice and Priebus has been an unmitigated disaster since the very beginning of his tenure.  And he lost control over his party the minute that Donald Trump started winning primaries.

Weaver's hatred of Debbie Wasserman Schultz has blinded him to the facts, and I have very little doubt that the same is true of his boss.

Speaking of blinded to the facts, the Sander's campaign recently demanded that Kentucky recanvass the primary results searching for some malfeasance, and guess what?

Fayette County election officials finished the recanvass in Lexington in 20 minutes and they didn't find anything wrong.

So yes Bernie Bros Hillary Clinton DID indeed win Kentucky.

And the lesson for today is that the system is not rigged just because you lose.

GOP Chairman Reince Priebus is worried about holding onto the Senate in 2016. And he should be.

Courtesy of The Hill:  

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus conceded it will be "tough" for his party to keep its majority in the Senate in the 2016 elections, but voiced confidence the GOP will maintain control of both chambers of Congress. 

"The Senate is important. It's very critical and it's always tough to hold the Senate, but I think we're doing everything we can do to that," Priebus told host John Catsimatidis in an interview airing Sunday on “The Cats Roundtable” on New York's AM-970. 

 Democrats are hopeful they can take back control of the Senate, which they lost to Republicans in the 2014 midterm elections. 

The electoral map is tilting in the Democrats' favor. Republicans must defend 24 Senate seats, including more than a half-dozen in toss-up or Democratic-leaning states. Democrats are only defending 10 seats. 

The demographic makeup of the electorate in presidential years is more favorable to Democrats than it is to the GOP, something Priebus seemed to acknowledge. 

I think that "Rinse Twice and Priebus" SHOULD be concerned about the Senate, because it is VERY likely that the Democrats will take back control. 

I am less confident about the House, though there ARE thirty three Republicans retiring in 2016 compared to only fourteen Democrats.

But even if the Dems only get the Senate back that means a Democratic President will have a far easier time, at least at the beginning of their term, than President Obama currently enjoys today.

And that is good for the country.

However I think that might be short lived.

This next part is pure speculation on my part but I feel pretty strongly about it.

I think that IF we take the Senate that it could only last until the next election cycle in 2018, unless there is a very significant shift in the demographic between now and then.

What's also quite possible, and in my opinion probable, is that Hillary only gets to serve one term and is ousted in 2020.

There are a couple of reasons I think this is likely,

The first is that there will be incredible blowback against her from the Republicans starting even before she takes the oath of office, just like with President Obama.

The second is that by 2020 Democrats will have held the presidency for twelve years and no party has lasted longer than that since Democrats Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman held the office for twenty years combined.

I think the Democrat's only hope of hanging onto significant power moving forward is if the GOP keeps devouring itself from within, and continues to allow clowns like Donald Trump to hold center stage.

But to be honest I am not entirely sure that is good for the country.

Just like clockwork here comes Sarah Palin to defend Donald Trump. Have your vomit bags at the ready. Update!

Hey, Media, Try Again To Take Down Trump (and Cruz for Understanding the Trump Context) 

Herd mentality running rampant with hypocritical and/or naive pundits trying to crush Donald Trump because he's committed to clobbering the bad guys, and putting the good guys first. Trump's temporary ban proposal is in the context of doing all we can to force the Feds to acknowledge their lack of strategy to deal with terrorism. 

(Say what you will about racists and the religiously intolerant, at least they stick together.)

I said it back in 2009 and got beat up by the Left but understood by the commonsense Right, and I'll say it again: if it saves innocent lives, "profile away!" (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/palin-on-muslim-profiling-i-m-all-for-it) When information shows someone comes to America after being in a radical Islamic stronghold, and embraces the Death Cult's ideology that mandates butchering the innocent - then we are right in calling for shucking the political correctness that is fundamentally transforming America (Wait, I thought it was OBAMA who was fundamentally transforming America?), and finally putting the security of innocent Americans FIRST. Slow this down via Fed intervention (it's the Federal Government's first and foremost job - national security!) until and unless we have a plan in place to sufficiently vet, AND to utterly and completely destroy the terrorists. (Note to President: start with letting our United States Military, the greatest and most ethical military power on earth, do its job.) 

(Yeah Obama, stop sending the military to bomb ISIS strongholds and kill terrorist leaders and let them do their jobs! Wait....)

The Feds are talking the talk, saying the same thing I said in '09 with their "If you see something, say something!" profiling directive. The Feds have always banned whomever they choose from entering the U.S., they have the ability, we've given them the right, and they have a track record proving it. Trump's idea isn't new. (President Carter banned Iranians, rounded up Iranian students, "profiled" and targeted a populace based on religious ideology in 1979-1980, and was PRAISED by the Left.) 

(Actually Carter cut off ties with Iran, told Iranians in this country to report to the Immigration office with view to deport those who were here in violation of their visas, and provided sanctions against Iran, BECAUSE THEY WERE HOLDING 50 AMERICANS HOSTAGE! Not the same thing!)

"Because the feds have said repeatedly that they don't profile. But you certainly can. And hey, that gives them cover: We were just checking out a report of suspicious activity, Mohammad." (http://www.laweekly.com/news/janet-napolitano-urges-you-to-become-a-terrorism-snitch-at-staples-center-profile-away-2384843) 

 They have no plan to reform our flawed immigration vetting process. They cannot even utter the term Islamic Fundamentalism. (Perhaps because being a religious fundamentalist and being a terrorist are not exactly the same thing.) They will not declare war on ISIS. (What? We're bombing the hell out of them right now.) While the media twists and turns words, conservatives who propose action to combat the real threat facing America are demonized while the namby-pamby milquetoast politicians get a pass to go along their unaccountable merry way. 

A broken system allowed terrorists to come to our home and slaughter Americans. (Or our Planned Parenthood clinics. Don't forget that.) A bold, non-politician candidate calls for a pause in this flawed bureaucratic program so it can be fixed, to make sure it doesn't happen again. That's commonsense (Yeah, in 1930's Germany!), which is why the media and spineless pundits attack it. 

A private university President in Virginia encourages students to exercise their constitutional right to bear arms to defend themselves and their fellow man against terrorists. That's commonsense, which is why his courageous, wise advice is now attacked.

(He is talking about arming every university student on campus. How in the hell is that commonsense?)

Come together, America, to focus on proactive solutions to protect our children from terrorism, after 7 years of neglect. 

Ignore the White House as it spews talking point rhetoric accusing Trump (thus suggesting all who question their wrongheadedness) of being "unamerican." Yet it is their leader declaring his need to "fundamentally transform America" because he so wrongly sees our exceptional nation's foundation as fatally flawed. Now THAT is unamerican. 

- Sarah Palin

Isn't there a nurse on call somewhere?

Seriously where is this woman's medication?

Let's see Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Bill O'Reilly, and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, think Donald Trump has lost his ever loving mind, but Sarah Palin agrees with him, so at leas the has that.

Update: Damn, Palin is all alone. Even Netanyahu rejected Trump's anti-Muslim statements. 

What a moron!

GOP Chairman Reince Priebus speaks a little truth about the future of his party.

Courtesy of the Washington Examiner:  

"So I think that — I do think that we're cooked as a party for quite a while as a party if we don't win in 2016. So I do think that it's going to be hard to dig out of something like that," Priebus told the Examiner. "I don't anticipate that. I think ... history is on our side." 

This is not the first time Priebus has hinted at the troubles facing the GOP on the national stage. In June, Priebus told radio host Laura Ingraham that a third straight presidential loss for the party would result in them relinquishing their spot as a national party.

Okay Liberals do we really need ANY more incentive to get out and vote in 2016? 

I mean if the average age of the Supreme Court Justices was not enough to motivate you, surely the possibility of your vote destroying the Republican party will do that and more.

Hell as for me personally I am hoping that I vote so hard and so aggressively that it drives Priebus to his knees.

In fact I think I will envision driving a stake through the heart of some gigantic demonic beast while I cast my vote.

Because essentially that might be exactly what I am doing.

GOP Chairman Reince Priebus says Hillary Clinton is disqualified from running for President. If you guessed because of Benghazi you get a gold star!

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Sunday said Hillary Clinton should be “disqualified” from running for president because she declined to appear on five Sunday news shows days after the deadly 2012 attack at the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. 

Then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice went on the shows in her place, explaining that Clinton was too exhausted to make an appearance after a “grueling” week. 

“One of two things was true: Either Hillary Clinton had a grueling week and was tired and failed to report for duty, and therefore I don’t know how she can be president of the United States,” Priebus said on Fox News Sunday. “Or second, Susan Rice was lying and, in fact, Hillary Clinton wasn’t tired and that’s not the reason she didn’t report for duty.” 

“If she’s even thinking of running for president, I think she has been disqualified because of her actions here,” Priebus stated.

Yes because there has NEVER been a male President who became exhausted on the job, or who sent out a surrogate instead of doing interviews themselves, right?

By the way this is how Susan Rice herself explained why she appeared on the talk shows instead of Hillary:

'Secretary Clinton had originally been asked by most of the networks to go on,' Rice told Williams. 'She had had an incredibly gruelling week dealing with the protests around the Middle East and North Africa that enveloped our embassies. 

'She had to deal with the loss of our four colleagues in Benghazi and console the whole State Department, greet the families and the bodies. And she declined to do it. And I was asked by the White House if I would do it as the next senior American diplomat.' 

'We were talking about a range of issues that week,' she said. 'It wasn't just Benghazi, as you`ll recall. It was a broad spectrum of foreign policy and national security issues that I talk about publicly every day. So I was asked. I was willing to do so. 

 'It wasn't what I had planned for the weekend originally, but I don't regret doing that, Brian.'

Yeah dealing with grieving families, and doing her job, instead of appearing on Sunday news shows to explain an investigation that was still ongoing, how unprofessional of her.

This outrage on the part of Priebus, of course, is in response to the leaked chapter of Hillary upcoming book in which she states, “I will not be a part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans. It’s just plain wrong, and it’s unworthy of our great country. Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me.” 

That is what is driving Priebus and others in the GOP out of their freaking minds.

Which is made quite evident by this statement from the Chairman earlier today: 

“How did this chapter get leaked to the newspaper? It got leaked because their people are trying to stop any more criticism that she’s been receiving on Benghazi,” Priebus said on Fox. “Hillary Clinton is politics 24/7. This is no different.”

Yep, right out of their freaking minds.

RNC chairman Reince Priebus on Hillary Clinton: "I doubt whether or not she will run for president in 2016." Hah!

Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus says that he doubts whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will seek the presidency in 2016. 

Even if she does, Priebus doesn't fear her as a candidate, he said Sunday. 

"Given the month she just had, I doubt whether or not she will run for president in 2016," Priebus told NBC's "Meet the Press" host David Gregory. "I know a lot of people around her want her to run, and I think that they're purposely creating this environment around here which is causing us to talk about her today." 

You know some people should never play poker. Clearly Priebus is bluffing his ass off.

Reince Priebus must be staying up to wish on that first star every night, in the hopes that one of his wishes will keep Clinton out of the 2016 race.

And that is also why the Republicans are banging that Benghazi drum with all of their might, and why Karl Rove all but accused Hillary of having brain damage.

However with every one of these statements, and outrageous accusations, the Republicans reveal their overwhelming fear that Hillary WILL run in 2016, and that when she runs she will ultimately emerge victorious.
