I tuned in to witness the Republican infighting and all I witness is avoidance.
C'mon, who's side are you on?
Who does Faux stand by, Trump or Bannon?
If Bannon shoots the wheels off the Trump train, is Breitbart looking to change horses?
If the reports of Trump's attention span are true, should he be trusted?

C'mon you guys, I know you all love to argue minutia. Let's get it on.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/04/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-to-end-policy-that-let-legal-pot-flourish.html
Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday rolled back an Obama-era policy that allowed legal marijuana to thrive without federal intervention.

The move effectively unleashes federal prosecutors to consider bringing marijuana cases, while stopping short of ordering them to do so.

“U.S. attorneys need to make decisions in these cases as they do in other drugs cases,” a senior DOJ official told Fox News.

The Obama administration back in 2013 announced via a memo from then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole that it would not obstruct states that legalized marijuana, on the condition the drug was regulated so as not to hinder key federal enforcement priorities. This included preventing the drug from being distributed to minors, preventing its movement to other states, and preventing it from being used as a cover for the trafficking of other drugs.
IMHO
Trump Administration is telling Congress 'do your job'. Make a decision about the status of those laws already passed and in effect and about to go into effect.

Ulterior motive: As the Cole memorandum was an Obama legacy, the Dims will oppose the change(also to obstruct Trump/Sessions). The Representatives on both sides from States where it's legal will also oppose the move, joining with the Dims. Legislation will be proposed to Federally control and TAX the sale in addition to the State regulations and TAXES in those States that choose legalization.

Dims win(kinda), Trump wins(REVENUE to offset the TAX Reform and pay for infrastructure).

Hmmmmmmm..........

Well, tRump just confirmed Bannon's version is correct. His dumbness had his lawyers send a cease and desist disclosures letter, he didn't have them send a stop libel and slander letter.

Eye, in 1016 Trump stated this is a states right issue. Now the party of smaller government wants to get bigger.
I draw 2 conclusions,
one Trumps has no consistent direction,
two, the Republicans are hypocrites, what a surprise.

SVT opinion.
The fact that writing a critical book about a president is nothing unusual, it has happened to most American leaders, but what goes out here is - as often before - Trump's reaction. When other presidents have tapped the books to death, Trump goes to a bombastic attack.
But it fits a pattern. When someone hits Trump, Trump returns, as hard as he can.
We've seen it on all sorts of confrontations, whether it's a widow of a dead soldier, or a member of his own party.

Many queued at night when it became apparent that the disputed book about Donald Trump's way to the President would start selling earlier. But everyone did not get their copies. In a bookstore in the US capital of Washington, it sold out in 20 minutes.
The idea was that Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" on Donald Trump's way to the Presidential Post would start selling on Tuesday, January 9th.
But after Donald Trump's lawyers turned to the publisher and demanded that the sale of the book be stopped, the publisher decided to sale it earlier.
According to Time, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" is now sold out on Amazon and other major chains.

As of this moment:
•Feds actively investigating Clinton Foundation•
Is the leading article. Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." Is not prominent.
http://www.cnn.com/
Yes... CNN
Hmmmmm


CNN... isn't that the Mainest of the Mainstream Media? What was that you said about them when they were investigating Donald Trump's campaign?

"The Mainstream Media stands for nothing excepting Political Hysteria, Social Hysteria, Lying Politically Inspired Rumors disguised as Facts and their Continuous Support for the Corrupt Washington Swamp."

But I guess this investigation you personally approve of, so they are somehow reliable again...

Myself, I hope all possible wrongdoing from all sides, parties and persons is aggressively investigated, publicized and if warranted, prosecuted.

And there it is in a nutshell...........

Thank You Mr B for detailing your lack of preference.

As the saying attributed to PT Barnum goes..."It doesn't matter what you do, it's what the people think you do."

Michael Wolff has a well deserved reputation for getting more facts wrong and 'mis-remembered' more conversations than any other 'writer'.

This book "Fire and Fury" may very well win a Pulitzer for fiction. It's better than 'Fire and Ice: A Game of Thrones' (from where most of the inspiration probably came).

Go ahead 'Sky Screamers' nail your future to that foundation. (And Please oh PLEASE, trot Hill-liary out for another run in 2020, if you can keep her sober long enough.....).

Bannon dismissed the notion of a Trump campaign conspiracy with Russia because the Trump team wasn't competent enough to conduct a conspiracy.

If that is the case, then your own DoJ is in serious trouble :-)

Which everyone here with two brain cells they could rub together have been shouting since 'When Bubba Met Loretta'(I'm considering filing a copyright on that as a future film title..) ":>

Yes, the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS and the DOS have some serious 'career leadership' problems. The rank and file are by and large good people trying to do their job. The leadership has been politicized and in some cases weaponized against the People's best interests and rights.

That is what 'draining the swamp' is about.

Yes, it is... Particularly former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch who was head of the DoJ during that time. Another in a list of highly questionable things she is accused of doing... IMO, time for a Court of Law to examine the matter. The Court of Public Opinion does no one any good.

Absent confession, could there be any evidence? Or it is just a huge waste of taxpayer money?

Has Trump been drinking?
His last tweet!
....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.
Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames.
I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star to President of the United States (on my first try).
I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that.

No, he doesn't drink. This is just another 'lighting of the hair' on the anti Trumpets. When you keep them busy putting out their flaming hair with their tiny little tack hammers they are distracted and angry which causes them to do and say things that usually work in Trump's favor.

Did they learn nothing from the Hill-liary fiasco?

Oh, that's right, to LEARN you need to be open to the actual facts and reality of what's going on around you.

In other words the Dims need to pull their heads out and check the scenery occasionally.

I wilI still postulate that there is a possibility that the basis of most of the Trump hysteria by the
twitter is an attempt to determine if the former president gave Ms. Lynch the unmasked news that the Rumpire was committing acts of espionage with the Russian government.
