I thought she was Scottish. It's only on the paternal side that he's some failed Junker castaway.

Or are you saying he thinks his mother is an alcoholic beverage?

You need to watch the Full Frontal segment on how much people in Scotland hate him from last week. It includes him saying, "I love the Scotch, my mother was Scotch" at a press conference.

Hopefully that travel ban will keep people out of South Carolina until we can figure out what the hell is going on there

Obviously they are friends with the illegals, and should have recused themselves.

I'm pretty sure Trump is Scotch, which is the old school way of saying Scottish.

A vodka joke would fit in here pretty well now.

Judging by my coworkers, it's working. Perception is reality.

Also, Trump is saying he inherited a mess a lot. And I imagine people are buying that. I'd really like to trade what he got with what Obama got coming in just to see what would happen.

Flag will be so happy. We finally found evidence of some fake news published by a reputable source.

Re: POTUS 45.4 - What's a Battle?

Bravo for NBC's Peter Alexander for this exchange after he corrected Trump false comment about his electoral college victory:
“Why should Americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive of being fake, when you provide information that’s not accurate?” Alexander asked.
“I was given that information,” said Trump. “Actually, I’ve seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory. Do you agree with that?”
“You’re the president,” Alexander replied.

A totally expected "it's not my fault" dodge by Trump, who in the same press conference, insisted he can handle when the press points out something negative that is true.
The only problem I have with Alexander's question is "what took you so long?" There have been dozens of instances in the past six months when he could have asked the exact same question--if someone had the balls to do it.

I guess we've given up on that whole "uniting the country" thing.

.”They are not the Republican people that our representatives represent,” the president said of the protesters.

BREAKING: Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus were kicked out of a meeting between lawmakers and the President Trump's top immigration enforcement official.

Not being satisfied with "140 character news" (not aimed at you DGF) and wanting the details:

Several House Democrats said they were kicked out of a meeting with a top federal immigration official Thursday, and accused Speaker Paul Ryan of the strong-arm move.

"I'm pretty shaken," said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.). "I've been here 25 years and I've never been told by the Speaker of the House that I can't attend a meeting I've requested."

Ten Democrats attended the meeting with acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan, according to a list obtained by POLITICO, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-N.M.).

A source inside the room said House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte told Democrats not on the list to leave. The Virginia Republican defended his decision, saying in a brief interview afterwards that the arrangement was "agreed upon ahead of time" and noting there were more Democrats than Republicans in the meeting.

"The speaker’s office organized a small bipartisan briefing that was, at the request of DHS, limited to members with jurisdictional interests in immigration enforcement," said AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan, who did not attend the meeting.

Is Homan one of Trump's or a hold-over from Obama?
Why the limited (members with jurisdictional interests in immigration enforcement) attendees?

"The news is fake because the news is fake."

That's it, I'm keeping my kids away from Penn. Not saying it's their fault, but I'd rather not risk it.

Penn is just the entity that his daddy paid to buy him a degree. None of his ostensible classmates remembered him as in any way achieving anything there. I assume he just commuted and had his servants do his take-home exams.

And anyway, it wasn't Penn, it was Wharton -- business school. People go into business if they aren't smart enough to go into medicine, imaginative enough to go into academia, hard working enough to go into law, or ethical enough to go into auto repair.

Additional details not included there, Homan was supposed to meet with the entire CHC earlier this week but cancelled on them in favor of a bipartisan gathering (where CHC members could be replaced with friendlier Rs). Pelosi also said after the meeting that she had to fight to get the CHC Chairwoman invited.

Re: POTUS 45.4 - What's a Battle?

According to the federal complaint document, on January 5, 2017, McDowell posted to Facebook an anti-semetic screed referencing Dylann Roof, which included the statement: "they should be Feasting on the enemy that stole their Heritage and their bloodline and trying to run us off of this Earth you can post pictures of ********** Viking and swords all the s*** you want to post if you ain’t got the heart to fight for Yahweh like dylann roof did you need to shut the ******* up…”

But remember, Christian Taliban are in no way a terrorist threat in this country...

So who is this Homan jamoke?

Partial answer: https://www.ice.gov/leadership

The way the bio reads he's a hold-over (took over as Acting Director on Jan 30).
