LOL, same here. Those other decors were definitely not even close to my style, not that the modern one was either.

I recall choosing the dark cavernous decor, no weapons, and the poor lonely tree stump to sit on.... LMAO

LOL, I chose the stump, too, and no weapons...the plot thickens.

An ex-CIA officer: the Trump Jr. meeting shows how the Russians exploit intelligence targets

To me, it's clear that Russian intelligence has been involved with Donald Trump for years. I also believe it's clear, though it's harder to establish, that Donald Trump actively sought that involvement and has consented to it at some point.

It also seems certain that Trump is uncontrollable and would not ever consider himself a spy, but many spies don't consider themselves spies and often don't even know that they're spies. And intelligence services could care less about that.

What matters to them is exploiting people, and that is what is happening here.

On FB, I've posted numerous articles re: Trump that I found to be important and meaningful. No one posted a like or commented on any of them.

A few days ago, I posted a meme, and received a dozen likes. So what's the problem?

There is a disturbing trend for people not to think too much, and just react to the simplest information. That's not good for society in general.

White House sends new US citizen welcome letter from President - signed by Barack Obama



I don't know about you, but if I was a new US citizen, I'd rather get a warm, friendly welcome from President Obama than what could be a sour, narcissistic letter from UnPredisent Dump.

I'm reading the Republicans have failed to replace Obamacare, so the new tactic is going to be to repeal it first (with a delay of 2 years) without having a replacement ready, and then in the second step to force Democrats and Republicans alike to support Trumpcare. The idea is they will then have to choose between Trumpcare or nothing, as opposed to Trumpcare vs Obamacare.

I guess that should go over much better with "moderate" GOP senators

This might actually even get the attention of the so-called "Trump voters"
And if they still don't care (which is my guess), then maybe I can still hope that 8 years from now that group will be decimated enough by natural causes.....

On the brighter side, apparently the nuclear agreement with Iran has moved from being horrible, total crap to now being acceptable for the time being. Who knows if that's going to last, though.

Good news.

‘Plan C’ on Obamacare, Repeal Now and Replace Later, Has Collapsed

Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, all Republicans, immediately declared they could not vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act without a replacement — enough to doom the effort before it could get any momentum.

I'm a scientist. I'm blowing the whistle on the Trump administration

I mean, SERIOUSLY?

Nearly seven years ago, I came to work for the Interior Department, where, among other things, I've helped endangered communities in Alaska prepare for and adapt to a changing climate. But on 15 June, I was one of about 50 senior department employees who received letters informing us of involuntary reassignments.

Citing a need to “improve talent development, mission delivery and collaboration,” the letter informed me that I was reassigned to an unrelated job in the accounting office that collects royalty cheques from fossil fuel companies.

A few days after my reassignment, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke testified before Congress that the department would use reassignments as part of its effort to eliminate employees; the only reasonable inference from that testimony is that he expects people to quit in response to undesirable transfers. Some of my colleagues are being relocated across the country, at taxpayer expense, to serve in equally ill-fitting jobs.

Trump can’t make a health care deal because he doesn’t understand health care

However, can be easily summarized with one sentence, so let me try:
"That's the difference between a real president and a fake golfer-in-chief".
