I surprised at how restrained Trump is handling the Kavanaugh and Rosenstein thing over the last week. I'm sure the Press had hoped to send Trump into one of his trademark tirades and twitter storms. Maybe he's actually learning to hold his fire until his adversaries are in better range and entrap themselves. That's the last thing the Dems and Media Establishment want in advance of an imminent move to impeach if they take the House in the mid terms.
Kelly is keeping him drugged in the basement of the White
House, lest he Tweet crazy shyte about rape being okay, or some such other nonsense.

I came across this picture tonight and it really spoke to me about the present state of Yankee politics: the dog on the left would represent the Democrats, the one on the right would be the republicans, of course, and the white one... well, I think represents Trumpkins and the cat would be mostly Canadians watching this dog gone circus.

I think the fact Rosenstein was invited to meet Trump in the Whitehouse pretty well guarantees he won't be fired YET. Trump never fires people in person, except on TV. He does it by letter, or worse, twitter. But Rosenstein's position has become untenable. He'll be gone soon after the midterms. Trump actually seems to be learning how to act politically to his advantage in concert with a broad strategy rather than angry reaction.

Trump boasts of his accomplishments — and the entire UN bursts into laughter

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/watch-trump-boasts-accomplishments-entire-un-burst-laughter/


He can't even address the UN without portraying himself as a pathological egotistical narcissist.

"doctrine or patriotism"........... (not globalism)

Negative, defiant, arrogant, authoritarian, super critical and threats .....the NEW US )

(isn't that how Hitler operated??_

Last year it was Kim that was the object of Trump's ire. This year it is Iran. Kind of conforms to the theory that the US always needs a target / enemy.

Did Ford Make Colin Kaepernick the Face of Their New Ad Campaign?
A joke posted to the political humor section of Reddit was mistaken as genuine news by a number of social media users.

Man Torches Truck & Home After Reading Reddit Post That Colin Kaepernick Now Sponsors Ford Trucks.

OldJalopyNews.com
September 20th, 2018

At 2:15PM, a Plano, Texas man set fire to his Ford F-150 after reading that Ford has turned to Colin Kaepernick for its new 2019 advertising campaign. Cletus Butleiker used a charcoal grill accelerant to ignite his vehicle, which soon spread to the laundry area of his home. The Plano Fire Department responded within 2 minutes, however, the Plano Police Department had to clear the area, as a cache of small arms ammunition posed serious threat to the first responders. This contributed to near complete property loss.



Neighbor, Cindy Cantrell, noted that, "Cletus is an odd man. He took offense to football players who showed disrespect for the flag and national anthem, while at the same time instigating police officers at every opportunity." Another neighbor, who refused to be identified, stated that he "would walk around his property at night, in his underwear, while wearing a Make America Great Again hat and carrying an AR-15 rifle."

Plano police have detained Butlieker, pending a bail hearing, which is scheduled for Monday morning. He is being held on arson, property damage and assault of a law enforcement officer. One officer sustained minor injury to his arm and required the use of his department-issued stun gun to subdue the assailant. Butlieker's prior convictions included unlawful discharge of a firearm, multiple police evasions, resisting arrest, assault on arresting police officers, several counts of sexual assault, harassment of neighbors and property theft. His weapons are lawfully owned, according to Texas statute, so he will not be charged with the destruction of his residence due to firefighter safety concerns. Besides his priors, Butlieker is viewed as a model citizen.

Trump rejects globalism, emphasizes 'America First' foreign policy approach in speech to U.N.


President Trump declared his administration will reject attempts from other nations to impose constraints on the United States, vowing to take action in world affairs based on his judgement over how it would benefit Americans.

In a speech at the U.N. General Assembly, Trump issued a sharp warning to the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela and China over what he described as their rogue behavior. But the president also made clear that the United States under his leadership would not be bound by consensus among traditional allies and partners.

��The U.S. will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, control and domination,�� Trump said.

Trump is taking the country "rogue" America is becoming a loose cannon.
