Imagine

President Trump Thanks Putin For Ordering Expulsion Of U.S. Diplomats From Russia
President Trump said Thursday that he was "very thankful" that Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the expulsion of hundreds of U.S. diplomats from the country in response to sanctions — because the administration needs to cut the State Department's budget anyway.


By praising Putin for throwing 755 of our embassy staff out of Russia, Trump has proven beyond doubt that he is the dumbest POTUS in history. - Kurt Eichenwald





We can't be engaging in school boy rhetoric with North Korea. This is absurd. - General Wesley Clark

The relationship between India and China seemed to worsen Wednesday when the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that 53 people and an Indian bulldozer was in China's territory and advised India to pull them back. This followed a warning Tuesday when an editorial in the state-run China Daily said that the "countdown to a clash between the two forces has begun."

Women In Texas Face More Penalties
Texas is moving toward a plan that could see women buy insurance coverage for abortions after a House vote derided by critics as "ridiculous and cruel." The GOP-controlled House voted 95-51 Tuesday in favor of restricting abortion coverage in health insurance, under a rule that would ban coverage in private health insurance and force women to pay an additional supplement if they want coverage for the procedure.
If House Bill 214 is enacted, it will come into force at the beginning of December this year. It makes no allowances for women who have abortions after being victims of rape or incest...

'Merica 2017


As tensions with North Korea escalate, Trump retweets several comparisons with Obama
Amid increasing tensions with North Korea, President Trump has taken to Twitter to highlight comparisons between his leadership and that of former president Barack Obama, including an unscientific, nearly week-old poll asserting he is the better president.

Just think, we’ll be able to tell our grandchildren, “I remember the day President Trump tweeted the nuclear launch codes.” - Conan O'Brien





The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

President Trump is on 17-day vacation at a golf course — and tweeted 15 times today.
Meanwhile the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, is also on vacation. Which is kind of suspicious. It’s like when your husband and secretary go on a work trip together. - Jimmy Kimmel



Does This Have RUSSIA Written All Over It, Or What?
The two-year-old U.S. diplomatic relationship with Cuba was roiled Wednesday by what U.S. officials say was a string of bizarre incidents that left a group of American diplomats in Havana with severe hearing loss attributed to a covert sonic device.






President Trump is in the middle of his 17-day trip to his New Jersey golf course, but he says it isn’t a vacation. And the staff at the White House said, “For us it is.” - Jimmy Fallon




YIKES! Putin Is Playing With Trump
As if Washington had not had enough of talking about Russia, the country’s air force sent an intelligence-gathering jet above the U.S. capitol, flying over the U.S. Capitol, Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency at low altitude on Wednesday.










But the president swears he’s not taking it easy, tweeting: “Working in Bedminster, N.J., as long-planned construction is being done at the White House. This is not a vacation — meetings and calls!” Meetings AND calls! Wow! Both of them! Trump has to do all that during his vacation? Man, I would NOT want to work for Vladimir Putin. Tough boss! - Seth Myers

Scaramucci Acts As If He Misses The Limelight
Anthony Scaramucci says the profanity-laced phone call that preceded his ouster as White House communications director was recorded by a reporter without his permission.
Scaramucci used #lowlife to describe New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza on Twitter on Wednesday night.



Former communications director Anthony Scaramucci wants to turn his time in the White House into a sitcom. Networks say it’s impossible, because sitcoms have to last at least 30 minutes. - Jimmy Fallon


Scaramucci acts as though he's on cocaine, which would be right in line with Wall Street.
