You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait till the new Congress convene in January and see that the vile pig will be looking to dance naked in the public square nearest to the WH. Beginning of the end to our National nightmare.

He hasn't realized what he would be facing. His hidden IRS taxes are going to be subpoena and the truth of his 5 bankruptcies and money trail of his dubious empire will come into the open. It's going to be a very entertaining two years . Team Blue and TRM are winning big. All of a sudden , his Nigeria a*s licking teams are in hibernation.

There's check and balance now. Do you see how the dotard went off on Jim Acosta ?. He's surely losing his marbles. Nothing presidential about him . I guess he's going to use his EO to do away with 1st Amendment.

It could be because voters in those states trusted Trump to bring back the lost jobs and grow the economy. But they were disgusted to see that 83% of the gains of the Republican tax-cut law benefited the top 1% of income earners.
The Dems flipped the house, 7 governor seats, 7 state legislative chambers, 350+ statehouse seats. Might not be the wave people expected but these are very solid numbers

The new AG came with a plan to end everything Mueller is doing. He already said that "he could reduce Mueller budget to so low that his investigation grind to almost a halt" oh well, I see he was hired as someone who could stop the Mueller investigation.
I think they should let him finish for a learning experience as a country. Not that it changes anything anyway.

Jim Acosta finally gets the boot as White House suspends his Press Pass.
The White House on Wednesday evening suspended CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s White House press room pass after a combative exchange with President Trump in which he refused to give up the microphone and wrangled with a female intern trying to take it back.

“President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

“This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question.”


She continued:

President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history. Contrary to CNN’s assertions, there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not being supportive of a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of an hour and a half – including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it is an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration. As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.


The exchange happened Wednesday afternoon as the president was giving a press conference to discuss the results of the midterm election. Acosta began his question by saying he wanted to challenge him on calling the caravan an “invasion.”

As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion. It’s a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S. Why did you characterize it as such?” he asked.

Because I consider it an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion,” Trump responded. Acosta then asked if he thought he “demonized immigrants” in the midterm election.

Trump responded, “I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process. I want it to be a process. And I want people to come in. And we need the people.”

Acosta then followed up with an assertion that migrants in the caravan would not be climbing over walls, and that they were “hundreds and hundreds of miles away.” “That’s not an invasion,” he told Trump.

Trump told Acosta, “Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN — and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.”

Acosta then attempted to ask another question, but Trump tried to move on several times. Acosta repeatedly refused to give up the microphone. When a female intern tried twice to take back the microphone, Acosta pushed her arm away.

Acosta then asked two more questions before the intern succeeded in taking the microphone away.

Trump told Acosta, “I’ll tell you what: CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.

Acosta protested that he thought, “that’s unfair.”

“You’re a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. And the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way,” Trump countered.

Mr bright man, how did Obama fare in his own first mid term elections even in states he won in 2008? It is a historical trend in us elections that the party in power usually loses the midterms. President Trump laid out the facts in his press conference yesterday. He actually outperformed Obama and Bill Clinton in every aspect of their first midterms. If Obama and Clinton won reelection, then you must admit that Trump is well on his way to being reelected

God Bless President Donald John Trump !!!

That so called journalist's behaviour was really disgusting. I couldn't believe I was watching an adult journalist who is even a white house reporter behaving like a spoilt child. I am happy his access has been revoked. He has no manners at all and deserves to be punished for his bad behaviour

Jeff Sessions resigns as Attorney General

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-resigns-at-trumps-request/2018/11/07/d1b7a214-e144-11e8-ab2c-b31dcd53ca6b_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.76be70a2da17

Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned on Wednesday at President Trump’s request, ending the tenure of a beleaguered loyalist whose relationship with the president was ruined when Sessions recused himself from control of the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.

In a letter to Trump, Sessions wrote that he had been “honored to serve as Attorney General” and had “worked to implement the law enforcement agenda based on the rule of law that formed a central part of your campaign for the presidency.” Trump tweeted that Sessions would be replaced on an acting basis by Matthew G. Whitaker, who had been serving as Sessions’s chief of staff.

“We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well!” Trump tweeted. “A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.”
