Tom Arnold Will Be On Kimmel Tonight....

I bet he'll talk about the Apprentice N-word tape.

Has Tom Arnold Weighed In On The N-Word Tape Yet.....

As I recall - didn't he say something about such a tape a while back?

Has Omarosa Been Called Before The Mueller Investigation?.....

Sounds like she might have some insight into the daily goings on at the WH and that she might be valuable to Mueller. Is this why the WH is trying to paint her as a 'disgruntled fired employee"?

How Is It That The WH Isn't More Secure Than It Is....

Really - one would think that there are all kinds of means to prevent any taping of conversations anywhere in the WH (unless it was the president doing the taping). But the Situation Room? Wouldn't you think there are bugging detection devices in all places of the WH and certainly in the Situation Room.

I have to say if anybody - Omarosa - or any WH staff member was able to tape conversations in the WH - than it is the fault of the administration itself for not taking proper precautions to prevent such taping and they should take the blame.

They're Calling It The Party Of Trump - But.....

if any of the other Repugs that competed in the Repug primary won the nomination and became president - would major platforms of the Repug Party (tax cuts; judicial appointments; immigration issues; Mideast policies; reduction in environmental regulations; healthcare (destruction of ACA); equality issues (black, brown, women, LGBTQ): voter suppression (gerrymandering); etc - really have been all that different than what Trump has done.

Now I realize that Trump is not very politically astute and does thing like a bull in a china shop. But other Repugs that might have taken the nomination and won the presidency - would these same major issues have been accomplished - but maybe more tactfully than Trump handled them - with less controversy?

Take away all the Russian influence in the 2016 election and all the talk of collusion and Trump being a Russian asset and the Mueller investigation - these are all Trump problems. Take away all of Trump's dalliances - the p grabbing; Stormy Daniels; alleged payoffs to other women; emoluments issues; his lying and campaign rallies; etc.

Would any other Repug having won the presidency - pushed for the same major Repug platforms mentioned above - and pulled them off?

I guess bottom line I'm taking issue with the talk of 'the Party of Trump' rhetoric and trying to make the point that really what has gone on behind the Trump antics - are really the policies of the Repug Party.

Any thought?

Trump Wants This Investigation To End But He Himself Is Holding It Up......

by not agreeing to an interview with Mueller. The longer this negotiation drags on - the longer it will take for this investigation to end.

Could it be that maybe Trump is calling for an end to the investigation - yet he really wants it to drag on? What would be the reason?

Maybe - because in the meantime - he can do all sorts of destructive things to this country; regulations; judge appointments; tax breaks; corporate giveaways; etc.

Once this investigation comes to a head - it might spell an end to his presidency and that is something that both he and the Repugs don't want to happen until they can do more damage to our democracy.

What Does Gates Having Affairs Have To Do With The Charges Against.....

Why are they even brought up in this?

Do You Think That Trump Has Ever Engaged In Insider Trading?.....

Listening to the FBI detail the charges against Collins - one comment was that 'no one is above the law'. When I heard that I got this weird feeling that they might have similar information on Trump that he has been involved in insider trading and that this charge of Collins is a 'shot across the bow of Trump'.

Again - this is just a feeling I got listening to the FBI detail the charges against Collins.

Knowing what we know about Trump - it's not hard to believe that he wouldn't take advantage of insider trading along with all the other crap he's been involved in.

Just saying.
