When "George Conway" directly calls out his dingbat, sociopath, congenital-liar wife, I'll start to take him seriously. Until then, however, the two of them must be seen as running a "good cop, bad cop" routine on the country, and nothing more dignified than that. - D. Lowther tweet

Uh Oh. I Think The FBI Director Is Getting A Pink Slip
President Trump tweeted a lengthy quote Sunday night from a conservative commentator criticizing FBI Director Christopher Wray.
"'Just another abuse of power in a long series of abuses of power by the Democrats that began during the Obama Administration, continued through the Mueller FBI operation, & now the baton has been passed to Jerry Nadler to continue to abuse power to harass President Trump and the Democrat National Committee,'" Trump tweeted, quoting Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

‘Mass purge’: Sarah Sanders implements new standard that disqualifies ‘almost the entire White House press corps’

‘Mass purge’: Sarah Sanders implements new standard that disqualifies ‘almost the entire White House press corps’
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has quietly implemented a new standard that has resulted in what one journalist calls “a mass purge” of “almost the entire White House press corps.”

You just know Sarah Sanders is loving purging people who ask her hard questions.

Nudes, Money & Roger Stone. Eww.
Roger Stone is under the gun and under-funded for his legal defense -- so, ironically, he's ripped a page out of Stormy Daniels' playbook -- making big money at a Virginia strip club.

”He’s the president of the United States. You have to respect the office.” - Tiger Woods, asked about Trump's immigration policies.

”He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” - The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
-------------------

I need to sound off about Tiger Woods, who is the greatest golfer in history, bar none. He was also one of the greatest cheaters in history, not at golf but at marriage. We know his back injury was not from golf. So now Tiger tells us to respect the office of the presidency, yet I saw no respect from Tiger towards the lives of the 100+ women with whom he had affairs. He has also done zip for society outside the 19th hole.

Tiger & Trump: Birds of a feather flock together.
