    Fun chatting with you Sandy. Be sure you get me on the list on the rest of your accounts. I know you'll probably forget occasionally, but I'm sure I'll pop up somewhere to remind you.

    I don't know if you have been asked this question, but which conservative values do you agree with?

    I saw that and wanted to apologize. As luck would have it, the site went down. I tried for over an hour to send my message of apology, but the site stayed down and I gave up.

    I want to take this opportunity to apologize now. I'm sorry.

    I don't have multiple accounts on this forum. I made a simple mistake. Your comments seemed relevant to me. I forgot to look up and see they were meant for somebody else. It happens.

    Why did Obama go on Fox news rarely ever?

    Trump has done enough things to go after, but when you guys act like children and drumb up stupid ideas such as this thread you lose more and more credibility

    The guy thinks you are me because of a simple mistake and some very bad luck. I was working in a hurry one morning, and I replied to him thinking he was addressing me. He was addressing you. Later I caught my error, and I wanted to apologize. At that point the site went down. I tried for over an hour to get my message through, but I gave up and went on with my life.

    Then I learned today that he thinks I have multiple accounts on this forum. One of them is you. First of all, I am not that clever. Secondly, why would I do that? Unlike so many that have pseudonyms, "Sandy Shanks" is my real name and my pen name (I'm an author and a former columnist). I want everyone to know this is me talking. It is a Sandy thing.

    I really sorry for the confusion I caused. Maybe he will just go away.

    Why has Trump not held a White House press conference since February?

    Why does Trump refuse to face reporters in an open setting?

    Why does he act guilty? If he is not guilty of misconduct, he has nothing to fear from reporters and he can stand his ground. But that doesn't happen. Why?

    Those are not a stupid issues. They are very important issues to the American people. It is noted that Trump fans like yourself refuse to answer those important questions.

    Do you want a President who hides behind the walls of the White House? Will you at least answer that question?

    A person "acting guilty" is not evidence of guilt Sandy Shanks.

    Of course it's evidence!! It's not, in and of itself, proof though.

    I don't see what you see Sandy. I see that Democrats are enraged by Trump and have no articulate ways of explaining why.

    The media is currently getting paid less and less attention by the entire Trump team. Spicer does not show up and Sanders is angry at the questions. Trump no doubt tells them to do important work. Why bother when the Media has such a rash of angry people in their field trying to make Trump look bad.

    I am amazed how well coordinated the media is with the comics at late night.

    I used to comment I was not watching TV due to no cable hook up. I solved that and now get up to 90 channels due to an indoor antenna. I am next buying the fire stick unless i find it has problems. When my research ends, it seems like i will settle on that for the cable channels I currently miss.

    I was amazed at how every last comic, Fallon, Kimmel etc has gone off the rails. They think their Trump hate is funny. I find them far less than amusing. I recall how the comics kissed the butt of one Obama. I knew they were on his side, but at least they did not focus on one thing all the time. It got boring very fast. When i was in Hawaii in May, I learned there how to get satellite and not pay monthly charges.

    When Trump is not at the beck and call of reporters, how can anybody who is rational decide that is what makes Trump supposedly be showing guilt. All the man is, is the guy who appoints managers and keeps tabs on their duties.

    Really, no sh*t.

    So, we are in agreement again. Trump acts guilty. He may not be guilty, but he acts guilty. Might have something to do with his intelligence.

    How this guy ran a business empire is beyond me.

    It is clear why Trump has not held a White House press conference since February. He said some things in the interview with Times reporters yesterday that are questionable at best. The interview was both interesting and strange and, at times, very un-presidential, a trademark of Trump interviews.

    Where to start? Well, we can start with the denunciation of his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. "Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else." Trump added, "It's extremely unfair, and that's a mild word, to the president. So [Sessions] recuses himself. I then end up with a second man, who's a deputy."

    Trump apparently feels that attorneys in the DOJ are his own personal lawyers who are appointed to serve him. Sessions swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. He did not swear a loyalty oath to Trump. The President still seems confused about that point.

    Sessions isn't going anywhere. The White House said Trump “still has confidence” in Sessions despite his harsh criticism a day earlier. The attorney general also told reporters he would stay on the job for as long as "appropriate." Trump continues to want it both ways, another trademark of his rhetoric.

    What about that second man? Trump had some choice words for him, too. "So his deputy [Sessions] hardly knew, and that's Rosenstein, Rod Rosenstein, who is from Baltimore. There are very few Republicans in Baltimore, if any. So, he's from Baltimore."

    No comment.

    Trump is hopelessly obsessed with Comey. "Now, perhaps I would have fired Comey anyway, and it certainly didn't hurt to have the letter, O.K." "[Comey] illegally leaks, and everyone thinks it is illegal, and by the way, it looks like it's classified and all that stuff." "[Comey's] testimony is loaded up with lies, O.K.?"

    The White House has never substantiated any of the charges made by Trump against Comey. His comments, therefore, constitute a "witch hunt."

    There are times people wonder how his mind works. It is not always clear from his statements.

    Trump said Mueller would cross a red line if he started looking at Trump family finances going beyond any Russia connection. ''I think that's a violation. Look, this is about Russia.”

    Bloomberg reports that today:

    The U.S. special counsel investigating possible ties between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia in last year’s election is examining a broad range of transactions involving Trump’s businesses as well as those of his associates, according to a person familiar with the probe.

    FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings, Trump’s involvement in a controversial SoHo development in New York with Russian associates, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, the person said.


    There have been very few, if any, leaks involving Mueller's investigation. Bloomberg's disclosure begs a question. Did Mueller just call Trump's bluff?

    The White House said today that Trump has no intention of firing Mueller.

    Robert, you still don't get it. I don't care what Democrats are doing. I care even less what Fallon and Kimmel say. By the time they come on, I'm watching a movie.

    I only care about what I say, and I have noticed that every time I write a post you never challenge what is in the post. You can't. Instead, you change the subject to Democrats and liberal comics, none of which had anything to do with what I said.

    "Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job, and I would have picked somebody else."

    That comment by Trump on Wednesday has a number of White House staffers nervous. If Trump is threatening Jeff Sessions in this way, no one is secure.

    Sessions was the first Senator to endorse Trump and he did so early in the campaign. Sessions played a key role in the election campaign and his advice helped Trump win the election.

    If Trump is turning on Sessions, everyone is in jeopardy.

    Trump just made a very serious mistake. He, and he alone, created serious dissension within the ranks. What purpose was served other that striking fear in the hearts of everyone on his staff from the chief of staff on down.

    I wrote those comments yesterday. Today we learned that Sean Spicer resigned and is being replaced by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Spicer resigned in protest of the decision to bring on Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

    Marc Kasowitz is out as Trump's personal attorney. Kasowitz has represented Trump since the early 2000s, and led his defense in the Trump University fraud case.

    Mark Corallo had been handling the White House's defense in the Russia investigation. As of today, Corallo is gone, too.

    Trump did not turn on Sessions. Trump simply stated a fact. When you pick a leader, you do not expect the leader to walk off mumbling to himself. Trump likes strong leaders. Sessions had never done wrong things to make him recuse himself. Trump likes a man he puts on the job to do it. Sessions is so scared he said he stands in the job. LOL

    Really? If the press was in the tank for Trump like they were obama, Trump would have many more press conferences.

    I believe Trump should shut out the left wing media altogether....like obama did Fox news.
