:pThe only time Barack Obama comes back Is when Trump surrogates deflect to him when they can't defend the Indefensible.
You're right he can't come back because he never left, he's just two blocks away from the wh.

I fear for the future of the Republican party and conservatism in America as a whole with Trump. The American population in general is far too left-leaning to have a true conservative as a president at this point, but at least a centrist Republican as president would slow the rate of deterioration. Trump I feel will turn out to be a gift for the Democrats in the long-run, as Jimmy Carter was to the Republicans, maybe worse. This kind of craziness is completely unprecedented, especially considering what Trump and his many associates are under investigation for, and it will make Watergate look like nothing I have been led to believe. Constitutional crises are possible, maybe even likely.

As a Brit I am sad to see this happening to our closest ally and world leader.
Don't believe the news. Believe the prophets...and prosper.

Unless President Trump shuts his open door and allows General Kelly to be his COS, nothing is going to change. The president needs to also route his tweets through General Kelly.

The real test for this new organization will be what the AG has to say Friday, and whether the AG is allowed to take questions from the press. I would recommend that the president and the press office read the transcript before it the speech, and that the press office handle any communications from the president and the AG. The president needs to wait until Monday after the AG's announcement, to tweet on it.

Not surprised...........now IF PENCE were President........that would be SWELL!

Does Trump attend these Studies?

I am not happy he is President, but I am also intelligent enough to realize that he is better than Hillary would have been. I wonder if any of our Christian friends here are TRULY happy with the "lesser of two evils?"

F.Y.I.

George W. Bush Says He Read the Bible Every Day of His Presidency, at Museum of the Bible Event

(excerpt)

"I read the Bible every day during my presidency," said Bush, who shared the stage with Hobby Lobby President and Museum of the Bible Chairman Steve Green.

"The easiest time to be faithful is during a time of crisis. The hardest time for faith is when all is well. Faith informed my principles and decisions, but not my tactics. It would give me strength, but I didn't use my faith to make decisions. Freedom is a faith informed principle," the former commander-in-chief said Sunday.

To say that I am "happy" with some of the personal failings of President Trump, would be silly.

To say am I "happy" with what has been accomplished and what he is trying to accomplish would be a VAST understatement. In this regard, I believe he even exceeds President Reagan.

Do I wish Trump was personally as white as the wind-driven snow? Sure.

Kinda like I could wish King David didn't murder a guy to steal his wife and then repeatedly commit adultery.

I'm inclined to agree that policy-wise he'll be more successful than Reagan when his eight years are up.

It's difficult to drain the swamp when everyone else keeps pouring more into it.
Good point! Hard to tell sometimes the swamp people from the others. What are the others by the way?

Politics is another story. I think there are quasi-inevitable things that may happen. Bad things that started long ago and would take an herculean effort and Divine Providence to avoid and remain a free people.

It's a sad irony that to drain the swamp, you must, yourself, enter the swamp and rely on swamp technicians.

As for Scaramucci, I give it 50/50 that this was planned from the get-go and that Gen. Kelly legitimately told the man to walk.

Kelly kind of reminds me of HR Haldeman. Or at least what I know of him historically. The gruff, gate-keeper type.

I feel compelled to respond to this.

Do not mourn our passing. I think one of two things will happen (and I'm an insider). Either a new, more authentic GOP will rise from the State parties and through the ashes of the national party. Or the two major parties will fold and you'll get a bunch of competing and interacting parties only without the freaky-deeky parliamentary coalition governments.

Conservatism is very much alive here in the US of A, we're just having something on identity crisis we have to mature through. For as ridiculous as Trump is, the Social Justice types are more ridiculous.

As I see it now, both ideologies are really at parity in long-term potential and both parties suffer from similar internal fractures.

What happens is in God's hands. We'll just proceed in the right as he has allowed us to see it, to paraphrase President Lincoln.

I fear for the future of the Republican party and conservatism in America as a whole with Trump.

The administration has so far been conducting like a river boat with a captain not even able to find New Orleans on a clear day.

Now the captain has arrived, and we will see who is in command, the captain or the river.

If that's true, there is a certain Republican virtue about it that I can't help but find delicious.

Republican in the sense of the form of government, not the party.

I should have used a small-r.

the secret to draining the swamp is knowing how to operate the pluming.......
