HAS THERE EVER BEEN A POLITICIAN LIKE THIS?

Has there ever been a politician like this? Our President is not 'protected' by the press like the previous president was. I believe the 44th president went to sleep each night, in uncontrollable fits of evil laughter as he thought about all that he got away with each day as the press gave him a pass on... everything. Our current president, President Donald Trump, gets questioned on... everything. If he says that today is Saturday, The New York Times is capable of running an editorial denying it. Just look at this tweet that Trump tweeted late yesterday morning. He is not scared of these little dimwit lefties who are trying their best to deny him the respect and honor that his office requires.

Let me get this straight... Just because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had a conversation with the Russian Ambassador, this somehow 'proves' that they were in cahoots to control the election results in the United States? OK, democrats... here's another case for you.... Here is photographic proof of a meeting between James Bond and Auric Goldfinger. Does this also prove that James Bond was conspiring with Auric Goldfinger to sabotage the gold in Fort Knox? According to your 'logic' - I guess it does. Now I know that James Bond and Auric Goldfinger were fictional characters from the imagination of Ian Fleming, but since you subscribe to so much fake news, you might as well fight movie plotlines. Reality does not seem to be your forté.

The fact that I spent being as active as a book sitting on a bookshelf, as I was suffering from flu-like symptoms for a couple of days while on the road, probably did not help me this week. Even when I am not feeling well, my appetite almost never suffers. My weight this morning was 245.6 lbs.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

I admit it. I don't know what the deal is with Trump and Russia. This morning America was greeted with the news that now there is a cloud hanging over Attorney General Jeff Sessions because he allegedly spoke with the Russian Ambassador twice during the campaign season. Apparently the admission of these discussions failed to become public during his confirmation hearings. Let me be clear. I have a much increased level of forgiveness for Republicans. This level of forgiveness is not shared by Democrats or the press. When a Democrat lies (or misremembers, or forgets) it is not news. There are no calls for endless investigations. If lying was a problem, Hillary Clinton, would never have been allowed to run for president. She would have been disqualified by the press. She would have been disqualified by her own party. And she would have been disqualified by her voters. I can't imagine why (or how) Russia could have influenced the election results in the United States. Clearly their influence did not exist on the two coasts. For example, in Washington, DC, the voters supported Clinton over Trump by a factor of approximately 9 to 1. So, in Washington, James Comey's FBI pronouncements did not matter, wikileaks revelations didn't matter, the rigging of the primary election by the Democratic Party to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination did not matter. I admit it. I do not care if Jeff Sessions spoke with the Russian Ambassador. Maybe his conversation was similar to the conversation that Bill Clinton had with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac. They, too, likely discussed grandchildren and golf. Do you see where I am going here? Trump won the election. It is now his time to govern.

Note to Jeff Sessions:
The next time someone at a Congressional Hearing asks you a question that you feel uncomfortable answering. Do not lie. Do not misremember. Do not forget.
This is what you should say:
