When will Hollywood stop portraying guns and violence in their movies? Or will that actually hit their pocketbook, so it's too inconvenient to care about the safety of children?

I always thought Biden would've beaten Trump. This proves it. He gets under Trump's skin almost like no one else.

I agree, I think Biden would've beaten him easily. If Biden somehow gets the nomination in 2020 (Which is a big "if" and I doubt he runs) and Trump somehow makes it a full term without resigning/being impeached/whatever, he'll easily beat him then too. Biden, for all of his "wacky" shtick, comes across as a decent guy. Plus, like you said, he gets under Trump's skin and can beat him at his own game.

Leave it to Alabama politicians to use the Ten Commandments for political grandstanding purposes....



I will be voting no.

This is a slope covered in Crisco. When we start letting the majority dictate freedoms in this country, it's a dangerous precedent.

When will the Christian bakers from Oregon get the same treatment?

John Bolton replacing McMaster because this administration didn't have enough evil pieces of human garbage in it, apparently.

Can't wait to see which war we start first!

Have y'all see the steaming pile of junk that is the omnibus bill? $1.3 trillion in spending. This will amass $2 trillion in debt in Trump's first 2 years. I have little hope that Trump will veto it. Because somehow fully funding planned parenthood, while permitting unsustainable spending is all 3D chess.

I hate this little worthless turd. The NRA and gun manufacturers should thank him for selling more memberships/guns than they could imagine. It was actually because of him and the other morally decrepit, posturing kids who exploited Parkland to advance their radical agenda, I made a very large contribution to the NRA.

Rumors are that Guccifer2.0 will be indicted tomorrow.

Surprised the latest on Guccifer 2.0 isn't a bigger deal than it is. If what everyone's reporting is true, I'd say it's a huge deal that a Russian foreign intelligence officer was hacking the DNC and helping the Trump campaign.

I used to think that nothing would come of this investigation and it'd just eventually end without any consequence for Trump/his administration. With everything that has happened lately, I'm not so sure on that anymore. There's a reason his lawyer jumped off the ship and other lawyers refuse to take the case. I hate to use the "smoke/fire" cliche, but there's a hell of a lot of smoke around all of this. Which, I won't be at all shocked if he ends up firing Mueller.

Just waiting for one of the many embers to catch fire and lead to a public outrage, forcing Congress to do something...

Bolton is first a class neocon and just the type Trump was supposed to drain from the swamp. Total opposite of what he promised his base. With all the difficulties Trump is having in his personal life and with the Russia investigation closing in, watch out for Bolton to advise getting a war started somewhere so that Trump can have a distraction from the heat and allow himself to be wrapped in the flag

They are about to go into recess. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mueller got fired then.

I've read quotes from more than one Republican congressman/senator (can't remember who or which it was) that firing Mueller would "Be the beginning of the end of Trump's presidency." I'm curious to see if they'd stick to that if it happened. If I had to put money on it, I'd put a lot on "no".

There aren't many promises he has kept with his base. No Obamacare repeal. No significant progress on the wall. Pivoting on DACA. Outright gun grabbing comments. There is only so long you can ride the Gorsuch nomination and tax cuts.

Now, the omnibus bill. This kind of spending would've been right at home with the Obama admin. A 2,232 page bill that was written in secrecy, unveiled late Wednesday night, passed the House yesterday, and then must be passed by the Senate before the end of today or the government will shut down. Trump has signaled support for this bill. What the actual heck.

I suggest you read through Rand Paul's twitter feed on some of the ridiculous stuff in this bill. But nah, there's no government abuse of taxpayer money.

Rumor was wrong.

Trump signed the omnibus bill citing he had no choice. Lol, quit being a lazy POS along with the other republicans and put something worth a crap together. Come on Mueller. Find something. Please.

I guess Trump was too busy tweeting at Biden and making booty calls to porn stars to stand up for the conserative platform supposedly ran on. When Schumer and Pelosi are smiling, there’s a problem with that bill.
