Installing people to "monitor loyalty" throughout the government has a really familiar sound to it, but I can't seem to place it.

Trump is at a 37% popularity approval. Nixon was at 28% a few weeks before being impeached.

At what point does the GOP start thinking about cutting ties? Or are they convinced gerrymandering and disenfranchisement can withstand a sub 28% rating?

The UK basketball network is naturally on the GOP brainwash network. Heard late night on this ****

"So the Neil Gorsuch hearing is going to be held this week. Knowing Democrats they are going to do everything they can do to fight it"

OH I WONDER WHY

****s

Trump's approval rating probably doesn't factor all that much. I'm sure your typical GOP rep would strongly prefer Ronald Reagan, but they still benefit quite a bit from Trump's idiocy providing daily cover for all of the ****ty legislation they're advancing.

Sorry Lilu, but this is way too good not to respond to.

What did our very bright buddy hornbug say before Trump took office, on the subject of lazy presidents golfing and vacationing?

Damn guy likes to work despite being past retirement age.

And what does he say now that Trump is actually vacationing and golfing way more than that lazy Obama, and others point that out?

hornbug in that second post is pretty sure hornbug in the first post is someone else you're thinking of. Second post hornbug never said anything like that. Fake news.

For the love of God, please stop quoting the slappies. Seeing their empty rhetoric bypass the ignore feature causes aids. If you have to take their bait and respond to the idiocy will you please keep their quotes out of your posts. Thanks in advance.

Question on the vacation thing.

If you define Trump Tower and Maro-Lago as the North and South White Houses and not vacation locations, has Trump taken a vacation yet as President?

Staying in FL in winter doesn't seem unreasonable for an old man.

The last time a president appeared to be a "captive" of the White House was Jimmy Carter during the Iran hostage crisis. Is that what we want now, a president who can't leave the white house?

Trump in meltdown on Twitter again. No matter how often this happens I still can't get my head around this being the POTUS. It's like a parody.

If we define 'work' as 'tweeting nonsense' has there ever been a harder working president?

You could invent a new drinking game around it. Every time he types "Fake News!!!" you drink a shot.

You'll be on your ass quicker than that time I listened to an Ozzy Osbourne album and took a shot every time Zakk Wylde did a pinch harmonic.

Multiple that by watching cable news and he has already worked harder in his first two months than the last twelve presidents combined.

So it appears Trump hasn't been on vacation at all so far. You may think it sucks that Trump owns multiple homes and has permission of the US government to use the white house as another home. But so far he has been a stay at home(s) president.
