More comedy gold from last night. West Wing character C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) holding a press briefing on Samantha Bee's "Not the White House Correspondents Dinner".
If they're going to cling to legal guns and the absurd gun culture, at least they're trying to educate and train people to handle them correctly and be more aware of laws and regulations. The conflict resolution aspect doesn't hurt.
So the possibilities here are Trump is straight up lying to further deceive his voters (highly likely), or he doesn't actually know or care what's in the GOP's latest bill (also highly likely). Either way the cultists will love the result, even if it crushes them personally.
Trump on Face the nation, reading this makes your head hurt but still way better than listening.
Trump doesn't understand his own bill, the host goes back and forth trying to get an understanding of if pre-existing conditions will be covered like in ACA, or if they're being optional by the states, or if they're guaranteed, Trump at one point says stuff to support all 3 positions, and finally seems to say there's a specific clause that guarantees that pre-existing conditions will be covered.
Then brilliantly drags the Russia stuff front and center again.
When President Trump called President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines on Saturday, the American leader’s national security aides saw it as part of a routine diplomatic outreach to Southeast Asian leaders. Mr. Trump, characteristically, had his own ideas.
During their “very friendly conversation,” the administration said in a late-night statement, Mr. Trump invited Mr. Duterte, an authoritarian leader accused of ordering extrajudicial killings of drug suspects in the Philippines, to visit him at the White House.
Now, administration officials are bracing for an avalanche of criticism from human rights groups. Two officials said they expected the State Department and the National Security Council, both of which were caught off guard by the invitation, to raise objections internally.
The White House disclosed the news on a day when Mr. Trump whipped up ardent backers at a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pa. The timing of the announcement — after a speech that was an angry, grievance-filled jeremiad — encapsulated this president after 100 days in office: still ready to say and do things that leave people, even on his staff, slack-jawed.
Daily Show comedian Hasan Minhaj absolutely killed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. He mentions near the beginning that he was asked not to criticize Trump in his absence, and then for the next 25 minutes he completely goes to town on Trump and his entire administration, and also rips into the press. Very funny stuff. He gets a bit more serious towards the end with some heartfelt closing remarks.
Mehhhh. Pretty hack, not much new and nothing cutting edge IMO. Also he was born in California yet claims to be an immigrant....
Too bad Parice O' Neal is not around anymore he would've been perfect for this.

What I love is how undoubtedly proud he and his cult are of his staggering ignorance and lack of knowledge. Oh and he has talked many times of his love of Andrew Jackson, so to not know either a) when he died or b) when the civil war was ....yeah lol

I'm actually less concerned about the fact that he evidently has no idea that Andrew Jackson had been dead for 16 years when the Civil War began, and even more evidently no clue about what actually precipitated the war, than I am about the fact that he openly lionizes a man that history has shown to be a genocidal maniac.

Agreement over govt funding till September agreed on, doesn't have a heck of a lot for Trump. Including:
1. There are explicit restrictions to block the border wall.
2. Non-defense domestic spending will go up, despite the Trump team’s insistence he wouldn’t let that happen.
3. Barack Obama’s cancer moonshot is generously funded.
4. Trump fought to cut the Environmental Protection Agency by a third. The final deal trims its budget by just 1 percent, with no staff cuts.
5. He didn’t defund Planned Parenthood.
6. The president got less than half as much for the military as he said was necessary.

Seems like the Whitehouse did a bang up job of negotiating. I guess they are really getting it done if getting it done means not ####ing it all up with stupid ideas.
This dummy continues to amaze me almost every time he opens his mouth, off a teleprompter.
Trump abruptly ends interview with CBS' Dickerson after wiretapping questions
Quote:
But when Dickerson brought it up during an interview taping on Saturday, Trump said, "I think our side's been proven very strongly and everybody's talking about it and frankly, it should be discussed."
Trump added, "We should find out what the hell is going on."
When Dickerson pressed him, Trump said: "You can take it any way -- you can take it any way you want."
Dickerson: "I'm asking you because you don't want it to be fake news. I want to hear it from President Trump."
Trump: "You don't have to ask me. You don't have to ask me."
Dickerson: "Why not?"
Trump: "Because I have my own opinions, you can have your own opinions."
Dickerson: "But I want to know your opinions. You're the president of the United States."
Trump: "That's enough. Thank you. Thank you very much."
