When USA has 7000 nukes, enough to kill every man, woman and child on the planet,

do we have the moral authority to tell any nation, whether it be North Korea or Iran, that they can't have their own nukes?

Clown adds up the number of "Fake News Media" and "enemies" and it comes to "110 million people."

Only the Fake News Media and Trump enemies want me to stop using Social Media (110 million people). Only way for me to get the truth out!

It is time GOP lawmakers told Trump to go. They know it, but are too spineless to put country first

In the past few days, Trump has told the police they need to rough up detainees. He has behaved like a self-obsessed bully in front of boy scouts. He has told thousands of Americans who have put their lives on the line that they will no longer be welcome in any capacity in the forces. He has overseen his new communications director's foul-mouthed tirades against fellow Republicans. He has done nothing other than Tweet insults and threats at fellow Republicans during and after the healthcare debacle, and shown a level of ignorance and stupidity that has never been seen before. And I have not even mentioned those lying, creepy family members who gave testimony on their shady dealings with Russia to steal the election. He is now busily Tweeting away, threatening to remove the healthcare from congressmen, insisting on a new bill, after only yesterday claiming he was right from the start to say let Obamacare fail then do a bill.

If any one of these things happened in any other developed country, the president or prime minister would have to resign. Other lawmakers would not accept it. I don't believe there is a lawmaker in America that truly believes this is acceptable or good for the people of this nation or the world at large. Why don't they find a backbone. Look at Reince Priebus - treated like shit by Trump and the mooch, and all he can say is it was a good idea of Trump's for a reset. For God's sake, be a man and stand up for yourself. Don't be a quivering wimp. Your country needs you. Three GOP senators had the gumption to stop the healthcare bill that was a travesty. But this is about a lot more than even the 16 million people who would lose healthcare. We have a spiteful imbecile in the Whitehouse. He needs to go before he does any more damage. We can't wait for the GOP to grow a backbone. When are they going to stand up to Trump and put country first?

Dear Jeff Sessions, please feel free to use my media statement for your own purposes:

This is the kind of media statement Jeff Sessions needs to write:

1/ To save his own job
2/ To assert his authority
3/ To put Trump in his place



On March 2, 2017, I recused myself from all investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States. In doing so, it enabled the appointment by the deputy Attorney General, without my involvement, of a special counsel to investigate any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the election campaign of the president.

Since this time, the president has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction that I recused myself from investigations related to the presidential campaigns. If I had not recused myself, the president would be in a position to order me to fire the special counsel, of whom he has been publicly critical. In recent days, it seems that the president has been intent on insulting me, perhaps in order to prompt my resignation, thereby enabling the installation of a new Attorney General who would be able to fire the special council at the president’s command and cease investigations into links between Russia and the presidential campaign.

As the United States Attorney General, I am responsible for the Department of Justice and the law enforcement. Although I have recused myself from matters now being investigated related to the presidential election campaign, I have instructed that all attempts to pervert the course of justice should be pursued vigorously. I intend to focus on my job of serving the American people to the best of my abilities, and I suggest that the president does the same.

Jeff Sessions
United States Attorney General

If Trump fires Sessions won't he be admitting there may have been Russian collusion?

Trump has tried to deny that Russia was involved in the election. If he fires sessions now, it will look like Trump believes the Russian ambassador over Sessions, but what the intercepts are showing, according to reports, is that Sessions may have signaled to the Russians reasons to invest in Trump. That adds weight to the very theory of Russian interference that Trump has been denying. So by firing Sessions, Trump would make it look more likely that he is only president because of Russian involvement.
