Above link is before the meeting, while below link contains the press conference. Now there is one tall drink of water... not the PM, the actual glass to his right. :)

Sorry Elizabeth I don't have an immediate link for you. Maybe someone else has? I actually just happened to catch coverage of it on television while it was taking place.

i've always considered myself somewhat out there.

"Is there anyone out there!?"

Yes, but two things have blown up. One is my water heater, which must be dealt with.

The other is the Pressure Cooker In Chief, who has left an awful mess. I don't see any deals happening. Trump is certifiably nuts, can't be trusted and everybody, with possible exception of Hannity, knows it. According to the usually reliable leakage out of the White House ("Your Most Trusted News Source"), Senior Staff are talking among themselves about tackling the President should he go "nuke happy"....and not in a metaphorical manner. I mean physically taking down a 300 lb, 70 year old man, with a low center of gravity centered slightly north of his hips...before he can start WWIII. The Constitution provides little practical guidance on how to do this.

This is the New National Normal.

I missed the big presser today - I'll watch it later and give you my impressions ...

"That is quite a low bar you are setting for the Trump White House ...

I wonder how low it can go."

Do we REALLY want to find out the answer to that question?

I mean, this is the President who just speculated about pulling NBC's operating license over them reporting something he did not like. Isn't that what Dictators do?

C.W. what's your journalistic response to that?

Also, Elizabeth, what did you think of the Prime Ministers question and answer time with the press after his meeting with Trump?

CW, this was from a Politico article. I won't read their crap, but I thought you'd have caught this truly embarrassing Romney imitation.

Have a little patience. Maybe he's saving it for FTP's MDDOTW award ...

I mean, it's not like we don't have enough information today to make the right decision.

Joe Biden punching left-

Forget that Americans are struggling and angry, he wants Dems to love the rich and corporations, and thinks anti-populism is the way for Dems to win.

Oh Joe.

Sorry, Don, but you understand I couldn't resist. Heh.

If the next president fails to accomplish this critical goal, then I'm afraid that America will have lost its way - at home and in the world.

We should remember this whenever we feel the urge to note when this administration succeeds in reaching the lowest common expectation.

Time to decide which one it is.

Perhaps it is due to John Kelly's influence, but whatever the reason, over the past month or so the White House has gotten much more engaged on actual legislative policy ... the interesting thing that few are noticing is that the Trump administration -- after almost ten months in office -- is finally involving itself in the legislative process in a meaningful way.

Perhaps Trump has learned that just shoving a bill through and threatening everyone to vote for it just hasn't worked and isn't likely to work any time soon. Or perhaps it is Chief of Staff John Kelly's influence. Whatever the cause, though, and however the process ends, the fact that the process even exists is what is noteworthy, for the Trump White House.

That is quite a low bar you are setting for the Trump White House ...

I wonder how low it can go.
