*Trump’s campaign is under investigation for possible hidden dealings with Russia and a possible conspiracy to violate campaign-finance laws.
*Trump's administration has been beset with a shocking number of scandals of various types.
*Trump is currently being sued for allegedly violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause, since foreign governments are directing money his way by booking large numbers of rooms and holding events at his properties.
*The attorney general of New York is seeking to have the Trump Foundation dissolved, citing a pattern of "persistently illegal conduct" that made the foundation little more than a scam devoted to self-dealing.
*In October, it was revealed in an exhaustively documented investigation that Trump, his father and his siblings engaged in a conspiracy to commit tax fraud on an absolutely epic scale, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
*Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump repeatedly misled buyers and investors about properties they were developing in order to acquire funding and pump up sales.

Pure . . .

. . . optimism, have I . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trump-was-room-during-hush-money-discussions-nbc-news-confirms-n947536)

". . . AMI admitted making a $150,000 payment "in concert with the campaign," and says that Pecker, Cohen and "at least one other member of the campaign" were in the meeting. According to a person familiar with the matter, the "other member" was Trump. . . Daniel Goldman, an NBC News analyst and former assistant U.S. attorney said the agreement doesn't detail what Trump said and did in the meeting. "But if Trump is now in the room, as early as August of 2015 and in combination with the recording where Trump clearly knows what Cohen is talking about with regarding to David Pecker, you now squarely place Trump in the middle of a conspiracy to commit campaign finance fraud.". . .

". . . The DNC is seeking recompense for what it says was millions of dollars in damages from Russia’s hacking of its internal emails, which were then published by WikiLeaks, with the encouragement of then-candidate Trump and his campaign. . . The civil complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan on Friday, is unrelated to the criminal investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, as well as congressional investigations into Russian meddling. . ."

One More . . .

. . . "good" choice . . .

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/23/us/politics/bolton-cambridge-analyticas-facebook-data.html)

". . . The political action committee founded by John R. Bolton, President Trump’s incoming national security adviser, was one of the earliest customers of Cambridge Analytica, which it hired specifically to develop psychological profiles of voters with data harvested from tens of millions of Facebook profiles, according to former Cambridge employees and company documents. . . Mr. Bolton’s political committee, known as The John Bolton Super PAC, first hired Cambridge in August 2014, months after the political data firm was founded and while it was still harvesting the Facebook data. . . In the two years that followed, Mr. Bolton’s super PAC spent nearly $1.2 million primarily for “survey research,” which is a term that campaigns use for polling, according to campaign finance records. . ."

Deals . . .

(from The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government)
". . . the two men (Dulles and Richard Nixon) first came in contact in late 1945, when young naval officer Richard Nixon was shuttling up and down the East Coast wrapping up war-related business for the Navy. While sifting through the military paperwork, Nixon came across eye-opening Nazi documents that had been shipped to an old torpedo factory on the Virginia side of the Potomac. Some of these documents revealed how the Dulles brothers had helped launder Nazi funds during the war. Loftus, citing confidential intelligence sources, alleged that Dulles and Nixon proceeded to cut a deal. "Allen Dulles," reported Loftus (John, former Justice Dept. Nazi hunter), "told him to keep quiet about what he ad seen and, in return, [Dulles] arranged to finance the young man's first congressional campaign against Jerry Voorhis.". . ."

High . . .

. . . time . . .

. . . somebody in the government put an end to the current farce that has been staged for the benefit of ill-equipped citizens who are sick and tired of what goes on behind closed D.C. doors. I, quite frankly, am both insulted and embarrassed that the chief executive of my country is not only unable to speak two consecutive coherent sentences, but either cannot, or refuses to read (and therefore, learn) anything, and I, as an American, can only sit back and watch. . . and cheez, is there a LOT to watch. . .

(http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/ and https://www.google.com/#q=trump+psychological+analysis)
". . . President Donald Trump claimed that former U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has definitively said the Trump campaign did not collude in Moscow’s interference with the 2016 election. . . Clapper’s comments have not been as definitive as Trump said. Later that day, Clapper directly contradicted Trump’s claim in a TV interview. . . "This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story," Trump said May 11. "It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won." . . . In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, then-FBI Director James Comey confirmed that his agency was investigating Russian efforts to interfere with the election. . .John D. Gartner said Trump “is dangerously mentally ill and temperamentally incapable of being president.”. . . He believes Trump shows signs of “malignant narcissism,” which is defined as a mix of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, aggression and sadism in Campbells’ Psychiatric Dictionary. . . In December, three leading professors of psychiatry wrote to Barack Obama expressing their grave concerns over Trump's mental stability . . . Through numerous interviews and his infamous tweeting sprees, it seems Trump only believes facts that praise him - anything else is ‘fake news’ in his eyes. And according to psychologists, this pathological disconnection from reality is dangerous. . ."

Good Job?. . .

(http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/27/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-house-intelligence/index.html)
The House Intelligence Committee, as well as its Senate counterpart, are investigating Russia's alleged attempts to influence the election, including any possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. FBI Director James Comey disclosed publicly last week that the FBI is doing the same.

(http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-cuts-billions-urban-areas-he-vowed-help-n734516)
President Donald Trump is proposing slashing billions in federal funding that helps heavily minority urban communities - just months after appealing on the campaign trail to residents of cities like Detroit, asking "What the hell do you have to lose?" . . . the budget calls for $6.2 billion of cuts to the nation's Housing and Urban Development agency, putting the already strapped federal housing authority under even bigger strain. . .The reductions come in a spending plan designed specifically to keep the president's many promises - "if he said it on the campaign, it's in the budget," Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters Wednesday - and one that advocates say will have disastrous effects in the largely African-American communities that Trump promised he'd "fix."

Spot . . .

". . . Attorney General Jeff Sessions's spokeswoman released a statement . . . after The Washington Post reported Sessions had spoken twice with Russia's ambassador last year — contacts he failed to disclose in his confirmation hearings. . .“I never met with any Russian officials to discuss the issues of the campaign,” Sessions said. “I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”. . .This is a remarkably misleading non-denial denial. Sessions, in the course of three sentences, manufactures a straw man, props him up and then knocks him down. He is denying a report that doesn't exist. . ."

Time . . .

. . . heals all wounds . . . or SHOULD it? (not in vengeance, but in pursuit of truth)

(http://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-questions-hillary-clintons-dnc-hack-response/)
". . . Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling an email hack of the Democratic National Committee an embarrassment for the party and the country. . . (Warren) also said she doesn't understand why Hillary Clinton has given former party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz a role in her campaign. . . Wasserman Schultz will serve as honorary chair of her (Clinton's) campaign's 50-state program to help elect Democrats. . ."

A Picture . . .

. . . is worth a thousand words . . .

(from http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/2/12/1484056/-Celebrated-Photographer-Yes-That-Is-Bernie-Sanders-Time-Magazine-Is-Lying)

". . . The Clintons are resorting to their same old playbook from the 2008 campaign where Clinton aides circulated a photo of President Obama wearing a turban during his visit to a village to paint him as a Muslim sympathizer. And now they’re doing the same thing to Bernie Sanders in which Jonathan Capehart parroted the Clinton smear by saying this photo of Bernie Sanders is not real. It is because the photographer, Danny Lyon, who took photos of civil rights leaders in the 1960s was there, and he said that the photographs of Bernie Sanders he took are real. . ."

Only Missing . . .

. . . the violins . . .

(from http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jan/14/chelsea-clinton/chelsea-clinton-mischaracterizes-bernie-sanders-he/)
". . . Hitting the campaign trail on her mother’s behalf, Chelsea Clinton attacked Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ universal health care plan. . . "Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance. . . I don't want to empower Republican governors to take away Medicaid, to take away health insurance for low-income and middle-income working Americans. And I think very much that's what Sen. Sanders' plan would do.". . . we decided to look into them (her claims) ourselves — in particular, her claim that Sanders’ plan would "empower" governors "to take away health insurance for low-income and middle-income working Americans.". . . Given that Sanders’ proposed plan specifically calls health insurance an entitlement for all, we found that this is a mischaracteriza- tion at best. . . Sanders has called the [his] plan "Medicare for all," referring to the the health safety net that covers those over 65. . . she is . . . right that states would be the primary administrators of the system. The bill calls it a "state-based American Health Security Program." However, the assertion that it would empower Republican governors to take away individual’s health insurance is misleading. . .Clinton’s statement makes it sound like Sanders’ plan would leave many people uninsured, which is antithetical to the goal of Sanders’ proposal: universal health care. . . We rate her claim Mostly False."

Outsider . . .

(from Bernie Sanders)
". . . About two decades ago, long before I ever imagined I would campaign for the presidency, I wrote a book titled Outsider in the House about how we used the authority extended from my electoral victories to make changes for the better in the lives of people who don’t have many allies in positions of power. My decision to run for president was inspired by the events outlined in that book, and if you really want to understand what this campaign is about and how we will leverage our political revolution to create real change after I’m elected, then you should read it. Because I think it’s important, I want to try something pretty wild here: For a very limited time, make a contribution to our campaign — of any amount — and we’ll send you a recently released updated version of my book, now titled Outsider in the White House. . . "

Framed . . .

(from http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/hillary-clinton-sexism-bernie-sanders-215375-with
MY insertions added)
". . . The once respectful Democratic primary has devolved into a slugfest about gender. . . " -artificially and NOT without intention on the part of the purported 'victim'- ". . . with Hillary Clinton surrogates expressing outrage over how Bernie Sanders is conducting his campaign — even calling for him to fire his staff over alleged sexist remarks. . . " -the operative word here being 'alleged'- ". . . And it’s sent a signal flare to Republicans, who have been reminded of the pitfalls of using the wrong language when taking on Clinton — and also of her campaign’s ability to turn it to her advantage. . ." -is this really what we want to see in our elections? ". . . (Clinton's people) said a recent Bloomberg Politics story that quoted Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver as joking that “we’re willing to consider her for vice president ... we’ll even interview her . . .How arrogant and sexist can you be? . . .” -Arrogant? Maybe. I must have missed the sexist part. Did YOU hear the sexist part????- ". . . (this 'development' began) in the first Democratic debate earlier this month, when the Vermont senator said “all the shouting in the world” won’t fix the country’s systemic problem with gun violence — a comment Clinton and her allies have since interpreted as an implicitly sexist filleting of the former secretary of state. . ." -I must have missed the sexist part. Did YOU hear the sexist part????- ". . . It also signals a widening gender gap between the candidates that could work in Clinton’s favor the more she looks like a strong woman under attack by a male opponent. . . " -A woman, granted. I think more disingenuous is more appropriate than STRONG.-I must have missed the sexist part.

Crackpots . . .

. . . abound . . .

Advice for Ben Carson. . .
1. Cancel your presidential campaign
2. Research Islam
3. Research the Constitution
4. Never run for president again

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/spokesman-ben-carson-thinks-people-would-decide-muslim-president-n430656)
". . . Carson campaign spokesman Doug Watts said Carson will likely reach out to members of the Muslim community in wake of the comments but said the interview should be "watched or read carefully." "He did not say that a Muslim should be prevented from running, or barred from running in any way," Watts said. "He [Carson] just doesn't believe the American people are ready for that." Carson said Sunday in response to an interview question that "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that." When asked if a candidate's faith should matter to voters, Carson said, "I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it's inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter." When asked if he thought Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said, "No, I don't, I do not." . . . "
