Just what do we think is happening with an inordinately high funded ICE? A brown-shirts Trump police force roaming the cities and countryside. Positioning for civil war. Very worrisome!!

FCC commissioner admits Colbert's firing is 'a consequence that comes from Trump' Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chief Brendan Carr suggested that late-night host Stephen Colbert was fired as "a consequence that comes from" President Donald Trump.During a Sunday interview ...

They refuse to face reality. Colbert brings eyes and ears. If he werenโ€™t popular, he wouldnโ€™t be there. Fox admitted in its lawsuit that they lied so they wouldnโ€™t lose their audience. FCC commissioner admits Colbert's firing is 'a consequence that comes from Trump'

Heโ€™s been running away from reality for years. The narcissism wonโ€™t allow him to see critical truth. Now that his handlers are all sycophants, there are little or no guardrails.

Trump Melts Down in Unhinged Revenge Rant: โ€˜They Must Payโ€™ The president is still trying to convince people that unfounded claims against Barack Obama are the โ€œcrime of the century.โ€

He must think the louder he shouts the more believable his fโ€™ing lies are. Not so!! The man is a weak moron who finds it necessary to push others down to make himself seem bigger. Just looks even weaker. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

Truly asinine remark. Numbers are numbers. The Government should be in the business of reporting accurate numbers. Trump is in panic mode and takes the immoral road by lining the messenger. Despicable!!
