CNN interviewed dems that crossed over for Trump in Youngstown Oh
Shock of shocks! They love him more 1 year on.
Blue collar democrats are fleeing the party
I typed in a lot of play-by-play to the remote corners of the world every NFL Sunday and especially during the bowls and playoffs. I even came in on my days off from time to time just to do this. It was like posting the Sunday Talk show thread!
Thanks for doing that. A brief respite to those who proudly serve and sacrifice so the rest of population including the idiots can enjoy freedom
Mulvaney painstakingly explains how we have 51 votes in the Senate but need 60 to keep the govt. from being sabotaged by illegal loving demoncrats.
Mistakenly turned on TV and saw Chrissy Wallace never get this point......
Exactly brilliant point!This is the first time we have had a President who is willing to fight for the right thing in a long time.
Exactly DiGenova is a pro he knows his stuff and very few go up against him they know they will lose.
my take on the shutdown is Trump, who I’m sure has had many labor relations experiences in his building / contracting businesses views this as a “ strike”.
Sometimes one needs to be taken to break the cycle of brinksmanship that is often at the heart of this.
It was a major mistake.
Make us freemen not sheep
Remember the NG in the airports with m16s? I do
It reminded me of being in Italy and having the polizia slip the barrel of an SMG in by ear at leonardo divici air port while sipping coffee on official business
No thank you
Hows that terrorism crap working out for Europe?
I’m afraid the Deep State, although not New, has been allowed to grow out of control since Bush the first!
Watch the movie “ American Made” the story of Bobby Seal, and you will see, ever so briefly the connection between Mena, drugs, FBI, Bush Sr and Bill Clinton...
that movie and Snowden are coming to life before our eyes as the deep state is revealed

Anyone who has a few minutes and wants to know one heck of a lot about the uranium One debacle just give George Webb a few minutes here and you will know more than you ever dreamed.Whey Uranium is so important how it gets processed the entire scenario from bringing is our of the ground to smuggling it all over the world.
Thus DACA and the Schumer Shutdown. The 'Rats need millions if illegals and their "votes" or they are toast.
I like Mulvaney. He's a quick thinking, fast talking, on point spokesperson.
How many votes does it take in the US Senate?
60
and how many Senators do the Republicans have?
51
Chucky Schumer says he offered President Trump money to pay for the entire wall
Schumer offered full authorization, which is nothing. Appropriation = money. Authorization = no money. The wall was authorized a decade ago but no money was appropriated.
Go Mulvaney!
Well, either that, or he and the President are finally working together, and this is a massive RAT-trap, designed to put a lot of pressure on Schumah and the party of dirt-eaters.
Hey, if we knew about it already it’d have no power over him!
Sometimes I think that Chrissy Wallace can’t be that stupid, that he’s just rehearsing Mick Mulvaney for the other networks ...
Good take. They soften up the opponent by running their script at them, so the next one knows how to pile on...
Guess what. We don’t cower anymore and play nice with you....
Mulvaney is just following in the Donalds... Give no ground approach..
Finally a reason to smile..
It’s a tricky thing, in that the polls show the people backing Trump on the issue, but the MSM makes such a stink that Trump probably doesn’t want it in the air for the SOTU. Then there is also the damage it causes to the military, etc.
If this is real, Seth Rich was assassinated.
There was no attempted robbery. It becomes a political hit.
We absolutely MUST HAVE a Special Counsel/Prosecutor for THIS alone.
NSA failed to preserve some data related to surveillance court case: report
The case was back during the Bush era, but then there's this sentence in the article that seems like a red flag to me:
The spy agency also revealed to the court that backup tapes of the intercepted communications were also erased in 2009, 2011 and 2016, according to Politico.
Hmmmmmmm ... wonder if this "honest mistake" will pop up as an issue with what is currently going on.
When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.
In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.
He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.
Since Donald Trump’s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, “We’re not backing down.” Determined to salvage Obama’s legacy, it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change.
Obama is intimately involved in OFA operations and even tweets from the group’s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump’s upset victory.
“It is fine for everybody to feel stressed, sad, discouraged,” he said in a conference call from the White House. “But get over it.” He demanded they “move forward to protect what we’ve accomplished.”
Far from sulking, OFA activists helped organize anti-Trump marches across US cities, some of which turned into riots. After Trump issued a temporary ban on immigration from seven terror-prone Muslim nations, the demonstrators jammed airports, chanting: “No ban, no wall, sanctuary for all!”
Run by old Obama aides and campaign workers, federal tax records show “nonpartisan” OFA marshals 32,525 volunteers nationwide. Registered as a 501(c)(4), it doesn’t have to disclose its donors, but they’ve been generous. OFA has raised more than $40 million in contributions and grants since evolving from Obama’s campaign organization Obama for America in 2013.
OFA, in IRS filings, says it trains young activists to develop “organizing skills.” Armed with Obama’s 2012 campaign database, OFA plans to get out the vote for Democratic candidates it’s grooming to win back Congress and erect a wall of resistance to Trump at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
It will be aided in that effort by the Obama Foundation, run by Obama’s former political director, and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, launched last month by Obama pal Eric Holder to end what he and Obama call GOP “gerrymandering” of congressional districts.
Obama will be overseeing it all from a shadow White House located within two miles of Trump. It features a mansion, which he’s fortifying with construction of a tall brick perimeter, and a nearby taxpayer-funded office with his own chief of staff and press secretary. Michelle Obama will also open an office there, along with the Obama Foundation.
The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents. Critical to the fight is rebuilding the ravaged Democratic Party. Obama hopes to install his former civil rights chief Tom Perez at the helm of the Democratic National Committee.
Perez is running for the vacant DNC chairmanship, vowing, “It’s time to organize and fight . . . We must stand up to protect President Obama’s accomplishments,” while also promising, “We’re going to build the strongest grassroots organizing force this country has ever seen.”
The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents.
“You’re going to see me early next year,” he told his OFA troops after the election, “and we’re going to be in a position where we can start cooking up all kinds of great stuff.”
Added the ex-president: “Point is, I’m still fired up and ready to go.”
