Trump Has a Secret To Tell You.
Trump tells the Philippine President strategic secrets about where 2 of our nuclear subs are positioned. What is wrong with this man? Does he think letting world leaders we can not trust our secrets makes him a strong leader? Or, is he so immature and just can't control or help himself?
Either way he is clearly unfit to lead this nation.
And, in other Trump news
Trump hiring a private lawyer to handle his side of the Russian investigation is probably a good idea .
Is anyone else exhausted by this man and the people around him?

Trump Pleases His Masters & His President
Either Donald Trump is in bed with the Russians or he and his advisors are clueless or just flat out stupid.
The day after Trump fired the FBI Director he has leaders of the Russian diplomatic team in for a private Oval Office meeting. Granted it was already scheduled but the optics of it in light of the Comey firing it was a little cringe worthy.
Since this was a high level meeting of course it was private. Or was it?
It was indeed private but only to the U.S. media but it was open to the Russian media.
You know the tool that Putin uses to spread all that fake news the Trump supporters, Fox News and unenlightened nitwits who are Tea Baggers actually believe, they were given exclusive rights to coverage something at our White House. American news outlets were barred. And, there was not one complaint from Tea Baggers and their puppets (GOP controlled Congress).
Why do Tea Baggers and Republicans love Putin so much? Do they hate democracy? Do they love dictators?
Yes, yes they do.
If Donald Trump was not in bed with the Russians than why was their state controlled media allowed inside the Oval Office and our national media outlets were not?
He needed to appease his masters. I am sure President Bannon is well pleased with his old dog.

Trump on North Korea
He wants a war - it will prove
- That his penis is not small
- He is a real man
- His hands are not small
What will happen when North Korea uses a nuclear bomb?
How will Trump respond?
How will Spicer mangle up the spinning of it?
Will Kellyanne ConArtist wear her inauguration Gucci uniform?
I am making fun but this is serious - Trump is gunning for a war. Why?

A few things this week
She is a racist, she is anti-Semitic, she is the islamophobias poster child and she is Donald Trump's candidate of choice for President of France. Marine Le Pen
Will Trump allow the Treasury Secretary to continue to block Exxon from circumventing the U.S. sanctions?
In Putin's Russia this is happening and only Nikki Haley seems to care. Imagine that? Doesn't Mr. Trump admire Putin?
In happy news
Bette Midler is getting rave reviews for Hello Dolly

President of Brazil Cancels US Visit
A consequence of of Edward Snowden's leaking.
The President of Brasil has postponed her official state visit to the United States as a result of the disclosure that the NSA was spying on Brazilian officials.
The NSA was doing what it was mandated to do by Congress.

Remember a few weeks ago when our President stood up to Putin and cancelled a summit with the Russian leader. Remember when President Obama decided to not reward Putin's bad behavior with a summit meeting. As I recall most of us thought it was a good idea.
What is the message of President Rousseff state visit cancellation? She is punishing the American President for the actions of one of this nation's spy agencies
Are her actions justified?
Does her snub diminish Obama's standing in the world?
Edward Snowden has decided that he and he alone knows what is best for this country and he has decided that spying is bad.
We do not know the long term or total damage to American foreign policy. And, it will be many years before we know the full impact of Edward Snowden's actions
