Da old Rex is back B. The monologue on Da COAL was AMAZING B.

On Wednesday, he put Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson in a bad spot after a reporter asked if President Trump’s dismissal of the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, hours earlier would “cast a shadow” over their meeting. Mr. Tillerson turned away without answering, but Mr. Lavrov wisecracked: “Was he fired? You’re kidding! You’re kidding!”

A poll asked people the first word that came to mind with Trump — and the results were brutal


1. "Idiot," 39 times
2. "Incompetent," 31 times3. "Liar," 30 times4. "Leader," 25 times5. "Unqualified," 25 times6. "President," 22 times7. "Strong," 21 times8. "Businessman," 18 times9. "Ignorant," 16 times10. "Egotistical," 15 times

In an August 2015 Quinnipiac poll, respondents were asked the same question about the presidential candidates. The most common words associated with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton were "liar" and "dishonest," while the top responses for Trump were "arrogant" and "blowhard."

Trump floats canceling White House press briefings

President Trump defended on Friday morning the slew of contradictions in the White House's account of FBI Director James Comey's firing, suggesting he might cancel "all future 'press briefings'" in the name of accuracy.

"As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!" Trump tweeted.

Prominent inconsistencies emerged  in the White House's version of Comey's ouster on Tuesday evening. Trump and his team first said the FBI director was fired after the recommendation of the attorney general and his deputy, but the president himself contradicted that version only a day later.

"I was going to fire regardless of the recommendation," Trump told NBC's Lester Holt. 
Trump’s account on Thursday not only ran counter to his letter, but to the narrative recounted by Vice President Pence and White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, both of whom sought to portray Comey’s ouster as a carefully made decision rooted in the Justice Department’s recommendation. 
Sanders also claimed Wednesday that Comey had lost the faith of the rank-and-file FBI and that the agency's probe into Russian election meddling was a minor matter, claims that were both contradicted  by congressional testimony from new acting FBI chief Andrew McCabe.

Sanders on Thursday acknowledged that she had briefed reporters on Comey’s firing at the White House a day earlier using incomplete information. But she insisted that the administration’s account of the episode has remained consistent, despite a number of contradictions. 

"If you want to talk about people in the dark, our story is consistent," she said. "The people that are in the dark today are the Democrats."

It's wild, folks made no effort to actually inform themselves of current/proposed policies that could affect them and their community and they​ can sit back and assume both sides are working towards the same goal. You would rarely make an uninformed decision like that in your daily life.

sure, give them the break they've been waiting on to fully control the narrative. Only a stupid man doesn't see the role they play in defining his legacy.

Relegated to da dustbin of history b, that's why Tillerson signed this declaration to confirm its relegation

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-en...-signs-declaration-recognizing-climate-change

 
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson  signed on Thursday a declaration acknowledging the threat posed by climate change to the Arctic and indicating the need for action to curb its impact on the region.

The move appears at odds with the Trump administration's broad skepticism of climate change and comes at a time when President Trump is weighing a potential withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on fighting its effects.

Tillerson signed the Fairbanks Declaration  in Fairbanks, Alask,a at a meeting of the Arctic Council, a forum made up of indigenous groups and eight countries with territory bordering the Arctic Circle. 

"In the United States, we are currently reviewing several important policies, including how the Trump administration will approach the issue of climate change," Tillerson said at the meeting.

"We are appreciative that each of you has an important point of view, and you should know that we are taking the time to understand your concerns. We’re not going to rush to make a decision. We’re going to work to make the right decision for the United States."

Trump and some of his top administration officials have expressed deep skepticism in climate change, despite overwhelming agreement among scientists that it is real and caused by humans. Trump himself has called the phenomenon a "hoax," and vowed on the campaign trail to pull the U.S. out of the Paris agreement.
