Sooo….you surely have heard about the mess created today regarding surveillance of Trump & Co. OH, my gosh.
I watched earlier today when Devin Nunes said there’s proof that Trump WAS surveilled, blah blah blah…I thought “Hallelujah! Trump was RIGHT! This vindicates him!”
…not so fast, Z. Then we find out Nunes had just come out of the White House, where he supposedly told Trump (there’s a lot of talk that Trump told HIM what to say, considering that, last week, the WH said ‘you’ll know something next week’ and VOILA!) about someone telling him Trump HAD been surveilled… Also, Nunes is saying “he can’t present the paperwork where he saw this info on ..” (what?) Also, he never went to his own committee FIRST! Not even the Republicans on the committee, let alone that snake Adam Schiff who’s also on the House Intel Committee! Nunes just popped right over to the WHITE HOUSE???
WHAT WAS NUNES THINKING!?? SO, of COURSE, Schiff had a presser this afternoon during which all my hopes of vindication were TOTALLY dashed. Again, the Republicans handing grenades on a silver platter to the Democrats. WHY? WHY? WHY?
Anybody here think Nunes did the right thing? Anybody think he’s telling the truth and he did NOT get it from Trump people?
Martini time gets earlier and earlier these afternoons 🙂
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS.

Oh, Mal….I agree SO MUCH. It makes me sad to hear even YOU say “Donald, just cut out all this crap…” You are SUCH a fan and I’m so disheartened…
Something is JUST PLAIN WRONG in that White House and someone needs to GET A GRIP.
I believe great things can be done and that TRUMP WANTS TO DO THEM! But something’s not jiving. Obviously, a lot of it’s the leftwing media, but I think Trump’s spending more time in miniscule crap like twitter wars and over reacting to every little dumb thing that gets to his ego…He needs to show great dignity, ignore that stuff, GET ON WITH THE COUNTRY’S WORK.
And, “Great dignity” does NOT mean being a wuss and not telling the truth with background information on that truth when he wants/needs to! It just means BE A MAN….don’t take everything so personally, don’t let ANYBODY in your WH say anything that can’t be proven, and GET ON WITH IT. . How HARD IS THAT?
If Trump didn’t give a crap about everything miniscule, he’d be FABULOUS!

My thought is that Trump should really quit giving the Dems openings to slash and burn. He has a good agenda, just do it an shut up. He seems bound and determined to make everything difficult. Just go about your work and the Dems will crumble. They can really do nothing to stop him. Don’t give them ammo. Very frustrating.

No, Mr. Trump; don’t let up, just LET IT GO….be a MAN and DO YOUR JOB, SHUT UP about every little affront.
And, by the way, DJT….you can’t just go your merry way and say things that aren’t true….people find out in D.C. Unless you’re a Democrat; people find out and HIDE THE TRUTH 🙂

I am watching Jurassic Park for the umpteenth time, and it is not as exciting as the six o’clock news! Donald Trump does some interesting things, and most people cannot imagine why he does them. He obviously jumped the gun on the Obama wire tapping thing, but he probably had good reason to do that tweet, however with no solid evidence.
Now is appears that there was surveillance going on, and lots of it. The spin doctors are denying that the Obama administration had anything to do with it. Comey is just another lying little piece of dung, and we will never hear the truth from him. Indeed, he needs to be investigated for lying, but he frames stuff like Bill Clinton, and nobody could ever get anything on him.
Folks, this is just getting to be exciting. If we get the anti-Obama care thing passed, it wil be clear sailing for a while. If the Obama Care replacement does not get passed, things are going to get ugly.

I’ll just say for the umpty-dumpth time; For those of us who hoped what Trump DID would be better than HE IS, we’re disappointed…he’s not doing much but threaten senators, tweet dumb stuff, make undocumented accusations…etc. Sure, that first week got some good executive orders overturned but…………..what since?
They’re even saying tax reform won’t happen if healthcare doesn’t pass.
If this healthcare thing doesn’t get voted for, …wow. AND now they’re saying if they think it won’t get voted for, they’ll pull it instead of voting…and it could take A YEAR to get it tweaked enough to be a good bill.
I heard the WSJournal had a fabulous article in favor of it……..I haven’t read it.

Z, I am not upset by Trump’s tweets about Obama’s wiretapping. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump has Obama dead to rights on this. Whether he chooses to divulge the proof of what he’s learned…. well, I suppose that depends on how Obama, his former officials, Democrats and the Media behave going forward. Guess what, they all had to admit there was NO evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with the Russians in the election. So that ended that crap right there, regardless of what Comey said about the FBI investigating it.
I don’t think Trump is reacting with his ego to these attacks on him and his Administration. He gets what the opposition’s plans are and he’s counterpunching, keeping them off kilter. Trump is driving the game, not them!
I wish this game was nicer, more dignified, more respectful…. It’s not. Trump didn’t create this putrid atmosphere, he’s just the first Republican President in decades to fight back. And he’s fighting back to win.
Will this strategy work? Who the hell knows, but our dignified, “we Republicans are far too civilized to engage in that sordid vulgarity” tactic has been destroying our country. Time to kick ass and take names. At least the Left will come away bloodied and exposed as the rats they are and always have been. I like the fighter in President Donald J. Trump!
