Thank you Doughty one! I believe it, as well. President Trump is feeling the power of God.

Possibly Kellyanne, and the black pastors who openly received him and prayed over him, Pastor Jeffers from Dallas, and many others have had their influence on a secular man, our Donald Trump, who found himself open to our Lord and to His Divine Assistance.
Let it be so. May our Lord be pleased to lay upon him Divine wisdom and a brave heart.

May God break the jaws of the Enemy in those who come against all goodness our beloved president.

Brennan and Ben Rhodes will be exposed.

I do not think there is a single private sector product that Obama’s family had produced that was not aggressively hawked each and every single time anybody in Obama’s entire administration had spoken on any occasion.

Thanks RitaOK.

I’ve read the Good Book, and I know how this ends.

She should show up for her next TV new show in an Ivanka dress with the tags still on it. "Accidentally" of course.

But help me out here. How is this different from Hillary saying she's a Yankees fan? Doesn't that imply that Hillary favors the Yankees over other teams, and that other people should also support the Yankees?

It is a Messianic parable and portend.

He doesn’t even ‘cut his hair’ (in a figure, what with his flowing mane everyone loves to mock), or drink. And he - gasp! - hangs out with that Paula White sinner.

On and on.

All the established wisdom (religious and political) is going down.

The spirit of the rule is that they shouldnt be using their position to profit by endorsing products in which they have a financial stake. I mean, Obama goes and touts Solyndra and GM so was he violating the law? Conway has no (to my knowledge) stake in Ivanka’s brand so she cannot profit by it and this is merely a case of foot in mouth. Let it go.

Obama's off the hook, because there is no "Cominskey Field."

Thank you Ezekiel. I didn’t know that.

Your explanation helped.

I agree with your conclusion also.

Try to catch today’s White House press conference with Sean Spicer. The new Treasury Department director made a statement and took two or three questions from the Press but Sean rejoins the presser shortly thereafter. But, in that conference, your question is answered.

The story may change before I can get it out here, but never-the-less Spicer reported that the conversation between the Russian and bassador and Michael Flynn was announced by the Trump Administration during the transition. On the 13th of January, as were all other foreign contacts as they occurred, of congratulations, plans and discussions to meet after the inauguration.

However it was 13 days later on the 27th of January before Obama’s justice department came forward with any negative possibilities of harm that Flynn might be subject to blackmail for having a detailed conversation on sanctions. Does this make sense?

It was at that point that Trump first provided due process for Flynn, and launched a White House counsel investigation, with long interviews with Flynn and with others whom Flynn had made comments to within the Trump Administration, on the matter.

It was very convincing and emphasized no laws were broken and this was not a legal issue, but a trust issue, given Flynn could not remember exactly what was said to the ambassodor in their conversation. He admitted sanctions were discussed, but only after he had said they were not discussed. He had misrepresented the facts to the vice president and the conversations he had with others in the administration evidently did not tell either. Including with Sean Spicer, for example.

I think she really failed today on Today show with Matt Lauer grilling her on Flynn. First time I ever saw her flustered, out of sorts.

"I do not think there is a single private sector product that Obama’s family had produced that was not aggressively hawked each and every single time anybody in Obama’s entire administration had spoken on any occasion."

Google a few phrases like "Obama's favorite books" or "Obama's favorite restaurants," and you'll get lots of hits. Obama endorsed stuff all the time; either that, or the media sought out his preferences on a whole variety of products, and circulated his replies, hoping to make those things "cool."

What Conway did was different from that; she made an off-the-cuff comment to push back against those who are trying to destroy Ivanka's business simply because she is Trump's daughter. Moreover, Conway would garner no personal financial benefit at all.

Maybe she was in a state of cognitive dissonance, unable to understand that someone could be driven out of the administration under such vague and confusing circumstances, without any clear indication that any laws had been violated.

Waiting for Trump to throw her under the bus too...

Almost seems Trump is falling for this crap. He better wake up and concentrate on Obamacare and tax relief. Trump is new and it is easy to be duped.

Obama endorsed books all the time, and the media lapped it up.
