We will love whatever you can share! Even if it's nothing, that's ok. Just to know you are going is exciting! They need cheerleaders. Please let them know that their supporters are not believing the fake news and want them to keep up the good work! We are not deterred.

I would so love for DJT to make congress live under the same medical care as the rest of the common horde. What sweet justice that would be!

He was the middle reliever brought in the face the left handed hitter. He does his job, then leaves the field.

I figured as much. It would be nice to know, though, whether or not Axios (and other media sources, for that matter) should be given any credence. Hope your trip to the White House goes well. We are anxiously awaiting a trip report.

Axios was started in January 2017 by a bunch of leftists from Politico.

Why on EARTH do you think Bannon would leak info to them? Boggles the mind that you think that.

“Why on EARTH do you think Bannon would leak info to them?”

I’ve answered that question to the best of my ability. Short answer: Jonathan Swan of Axios has a solid track record. He gets scoops.

You’re right that Axios is primarily leftist but I’ve not posted anything other than articles by Swan.

Final response: you no like, you no read. I ignore many threads on FR either because of the source, the author, or the poster.

If he wasn’t drunk, then he has no excuse.

I have nothing against drinking, but it is no excuse for bad behavior.

If it’s true that the mooch sold his business and lost his wife over the deal, that wasn’t really a good way to treat him.

Let's see - if potty mouth gave up his job at the import/export bank - that's a GOOD thing

the Mooch is a multi-mulit-multi-millionare. He'll be fine.

Of course he'll have to split it with his soon to be Ex ("Congratulations? Really? That's what you say to your wife after she gives birth - alone? He'd never walk into MY house again. What a louse.)

Nope, no solid track record at all. Bannon’s 44% tax idea? No confirmation at all, can’t remember the other one

I will ignore you if I want to. I can question what you post any time I like.

Axios head dudes, started in Jan. 2017. Swan is obviously a biased leftist media schmuck just like the others at Axios.

Jonathan Swan
National Political Reporter

Jonathan Swan is the national political reporter for Axios, covering the White House and Republican leaders on Capitol Hill.

Swan previously served as national political reporter for The Hill. He covered the 2016 presidential campaign, focusing on the Republican side and on donors and campaign finance.

Shortly before the election, Politico named Swan one of its “16 breakout media stars” of the presidential campaign. The article said he rattled both Republicans and Democrats with stories such as the one about the Trump campaign illegally soliciting foreign donations.

Looks like Swan got another scoop with this one. Now the Daily Caller is making the same claim:

Usually the ‘news’ reported from DC is whatever makes the powerful people happiest.
This pleases Trump and the GOPe.

It makes the ‘Mooch” appointment not a screwup by Trump.
And it makes the Priebus dismissal not a result of the GOPe sandbagging him
Win-win LOL!

You want people to behave in a certain manner.

You will live a life filled with disappointment

I agree. But I was responding to those that thought that Trump hiring him was brilliant, as though Trump couldn’t fire Preibus himself. Am I missing something here, something so brilliant I can’t comprehend?/s

Be-baw has very odd ideas of gold standard of truth and gets way bent out of shape if anyone disagrees with him/her/it/they.
