I'll get worried when our President starts easing regulations for industries that have proven they'll find ways around even the most stringent regulations just to gain their support. Oh, wait...

This is the Russians covering for Trump and also letting him know they can make things really bad for him at the same time...
Hard to believe he didn't know about the Trump Tower meeting.
Trump's love of Putin and parroting of Russian talking points during the election was a major head scratcher for everyone but it's becoming increasingly clear that Trump was ok with throwing America under the bus in order to increase his personal wealth.

Trump on Khashoggi killing: " Saudi crown prince 'hates it more than I do. " .... "Maybe he did, maybe he didn't..

Watching the service at National Cathedral with Trump and former Presidents one thought crosses the mind - one of these is not like the others.

Watching the service at National Cathedral with Trump and former Presidents one thought crosses the mind - one of these is not like the others. Five U.S. Presidents and five Vice Presidents, all together. For the men in the front row, what a surreal feeling to see their own future in front of them.

Classic Trump body language - arms crossed in a defensive posture as 41 is praised for all the qualities Trump lacks.

In this time of Trump it makes you appreciate all that HW stood for. As a new graduate of SFS '77 and having accepted a position at CIA I had the opportunity to meet then-Director Bush at an employee forum. As a young know-it-all I asked a rather impertinent question and he answered with good humor and grace. I still remember my question. CIA Director Colby had just disclosed the "family jewels" about the past misadventures/misdeeds of the CIA and I asked Bush a question about the Agency interfering in other nations' elections, of all things.

He's beaten cancer and is going to live forever.

Probably was thinking whether Nixon had a state funeral like this one or a smaller one at home?

Five presidents attended (Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton) and even former VP Spiro Agnew attended, who had not spoken to Nixon in many years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_funeral_of_Richard_NixonApparently every deceased President since Eisenhower has received a state funeral. Harry Truman rejected one in favor of a small Masonic ceremony in his home town. The Eisenhower excerpt, below, is from 1969.

Relatively inexpensive considering....
I think it's a bad idea to have a President whose business interests are tied to his foreign policy decisions.

When the others read the Apostles’ Creed, he stood stoically. The hero of the religious right. Even the Muslim guy was into the Creed.
