lol this White house is hilarious, have Trump who is clueless about the outside world, and both he and Spicey talk about the big carrier group going Korea.

Jason Chaffetz not seeking re-election in 2018.

Quote:
After long consultation with my family and prayerful consideration, I have decided I will not be a candidate for any office in 2018.
Since late 2003 I have been fully engaged with politics as a campaign manager, a chief of staff, a candidate and as a Member of Congress. I have long advocated public service should be for a limited time and not a lifetime or full career. Many of you have heard me advocate, “Get in, serve, and get out.” After more than 1,500 nights away from my home, it is time. I may run again for public office, but not in 2018.

Probably trying to get out of the way just as the investigation crap hits the fan. Rats off the sinking ship.

Those Spicer press briefings are entertaining, but he doesn't really answer anything. Him trying to squirm out of questions about the misinformation of the whereabouts of the USS Vinson was pretty funny. It will now get there 'eventually'. Lol.

34 Patriots players skipped the team's trip to the White House today

I wonder if Spicer wishes Gronk had skipped? Lol

Unless you're an Oiler fan, it doesn't take a decade to figure out your cheering for the bane of humanity.

it goes to show how far the needle has moved to the right when a guy like Frum is now the voice of reason...

Mea Culpa - I used to hate that guy with the heat of 1000 suns... now I follow him on Twitter...

that's how crazy things have become in the US political arena...

Exxon has reportedly asked for a waiver from the Russia sanctions to work with Rosneft on a joint venture.

Which is just so brazen in the face of the Steele dossier allegations. It almost seems like it was put out there just for Trump to not approve it so that they could claim to not be in the back pocket of Russian oil interests.

Or, they roll it into negotiation of some peace deal in Syria... Russia backs off Syria a bit, in exchange the sanctions get lifted for Exxon/Rosneft, Trump claims he negotiated peace in the middle east, and Trump and whoever else got that 19% stake in Rosneft profits.

Why does the liberal media think Bill O'Reilly (@oreillyfactor) is a complete and total vulgarian? I don't think so!

He's not the voice of reason, he's the most sane sounding voice in a group of crazy people. He's still nuts, he's just surround by even crazier people. It's like the reverse halo effect.

Haha, love the Family Guy bit at the end of that one. O'Reilly is such a d-bag. I used to get a kick out of watching Jon Stewart go on that show and just completely destroy him.
