“Steve Bannon has been fired,” Baldwin said. “It has been a chaotic four weeks, even by these White House standards, so let’s just all take a moment just to remind you what has happened, incredibly significant events, one after the other.”
“So, in no particular order,” she began. “President Trump … fires his chief strategist, fires his chief of staff, hires a new one, hires a new communications director, fires him, hires a new one, his fourth in seven months, publicly shames his attorney general multiple times, loses a health care bill, publicly shames the three republicans who voted against it multiple times, bans transgender individuals from the military without telling the military, ticks off the Boy Scouts, makes up a phone call with said Scouts, makes up another phone call with the president of Mexico, thanks Vladimir Putin for expelling Americans, hundreds of them, takes days to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill and then blasts Congress for making him sign it, condemns leaks but then says he likes the leaks because it shows people love him.”
Baldwin then stops for a drink of water, before continuing:
“Encourages police to be rough with suspects during arrests, publicly shames the Republican leader he needs to get anything done—multiple times—embraces an unpassable immigration plan that sparks a debate about the Statue of Liberty and the definition of ‘cosmopolitan.’ He threatens North Korea with nuclear war, tells Guam it will help tourism, then his own chief strategist calls his bluff and says, no, there’s no military option in North Korea, threatens Venezuela with a military option, after a Nazi rally in which someone was murdered, the president blames both sides. After backlash, cleans it up, denounces those white supremacists, but then hours later erases all of it and makes everything worse by again blaming both sides, saying there were fine people there. No, they weren’t. They were Nazis.”
Whew!
Keep in mind that President Obama went through EIGHT YEARS in office without anywhere near this much chaos and drama in his White House.
God, Trump was right. All of this winning IS exhausting.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

I swear the number of insults this guy throws around on a weekly basis is almost incomprehensible.
For almost any other candidate even a tenth of these would have proved fatal to their campaign.

All of the terrible things Hillary Clinton has done (According to multiple conservative sources.) in one handy list.
A columnist by the name of Brett Arends compiled this list, and though most of them are pure unadulterated BS, that does not mean you will not be hearing them repeated ad nauseam as this political season moves forward.
Here we go:

Guess who made Time Magazine's Top 100 Influential People? And then guess who didn't.
Julianne Moore as described by fashion designer, director, and now Time Magazine contributor Tom Ford:
Fearless. That is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Julianne Moore. Of course, the words beautiful, elegant, smart, loyal and steadfast can be used to describe her too.
I was fortunate enough to witness Julianne’s incredible skill as an actress firsthand when we worked together on a film that I directed called A Single Man. I remember looking through the camera lens before the first take and realizing that she projects something very rare: an actual luminosity that is dazzling in life and that can be captured on film. This is the difference between an actor and a star.
Julianne’s character off set is just as magnetic as her onscreen presence. She has an inner beauty that will never fade. She is down to earth and real. For my 50th birthday we went white-water rafting in Idaho, where we had no baths or toilets for five days. She seemed just as comfortable in the wilderness, stripped of the trappings of stardom, as she is in front of the camera.
Julianne is one of the greatest actresses working today, but she’s also a wonderful human being. I am honored to call her my friend.
Well that is a rather glowing description. However it seems to fit the talented individual we have been hearing about for all of these years.
There are equally glowing descriptions (And some not so glowing descriptions.) of 99 more influential Titans, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, and Icons. These include such eclectic choices such as Lorne Michaels, Janet Yellen, Emma Watson, Amy Schumer, Chris Pratt, Tim McGraw, John Oliver, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Kim Jong Un, and even, believe it or not, Kim Kardashian along with many others.
However one name missing from the list, as it has since 2010, is Sarah Louise Palin.
You know it's almost as if constantly teasing that you might consider running for high office, and then never actually going through with it, while repeatedly taking to Facebook in an obvious attempt get attention by attacking more accomplished people than yourself, over time diminishes your credibility in some way.
But that would mean the entire Sarah Palin model for continued relevance was flawed in some way.
And that can't be right. Can it?

Sarah Palin listed among the top ten hottest women in Arizona politics. What's going on?
The above is the picture that Phoenix New Times used in their clearly tongue in cheek article about hot women in Arizona politics.
This was the blurb under her picture:
Sarah Palin, sometime Arizona resident, former Veep candidate, ex-Guv of Alaska, spoken of as a possible rival to McCain in 2016.
Three things.
First she is not running for office, in Arizona or anywhere else.
Secondly she is not hot, in Arizona of anywhere else.
Thirdly I think this clearly demeans women who are trying to give back to their communities and be recognized for their achievements instead of being seen as simply a nice set of tits and ass.
Except for Palin of course.
Which is why she dresses like this.

The Smithsonian compiles list of the "100 most Significant Americans." Both George W. Bush and Sarah Palin make the list, but the first African American President does not.
Courtesy of Raw Story:
This week, Smithsonian magazine asked its readers, “How much does Thomas Paine matter? More than Harriet Beecher Stowe? Less than Elvis? On a par with Dwight Eisenhower?”
But curiously, the in-house magazine for the Smithsonian Institution decided that George W. Bush is a more “significant” figure in U.S. history than the country’s first Black president, Barack Obama, who did not make the list.
Bush appears on the magazine’s list of the “100 most significant Americans,” released in this week’s issue. According to Smithsonian, it put together the list by considering data compiled by Google engineer Charles B. Ward and Steven Skiena, a professor of computer science at Stony Brook University.
But instead of relying simply on statistics to determine the result, the magazine said it split Skiena and Ward’s results into several categories of 10 Americans apiece, then made its own determinations of who fit the bill.
Other notable entries included former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) in the list of “First Women,” Hulk Hogan in the “Athletes” category, as well as Cotton Mather, who was a key figure behind the Salem Witch Trials, under “Religious Figures.”
So there you have it. According to the Smithsonian a with hunter, a witch, and a guy who pretends to wrestle on TV are more significant than the first black man to be President of the United States of America.
I guess ending wars, fixing the economy, and bringing prosperity back to this country is simply not as significant as lying the country into those wars, destroying the economy, and making the word hate America, right?
Here is the full list, just to fan your outrage:
