    "My eyes are fine.  You're a fake eclipse"!


    I imagine this could be a dinner conversation tonight:

    Child: Mommy, daddy my teacher warned us about not looking at the eclipse unless we have the special eye glasses.

    Parent: Yes, your teacher is correct

    Child: Then why did the president just hold up his finger to look at the eclipse? He didn't have the special glasses on.

    Parent: ????
    You've uncovered a resource that parents need. You know when there's a national tragedy, and there's multiple articles for parents on how to talk to their kids about it. Parents need one on how to talk to their kids about the President. 

    Haven't parent's been trying to figure this out since the campaign? He's a national embarrasment

    Maybe Barron could subtly leave some Highlights magazines lying around, open to Goofus and Gallant?

    "Goofus stares at the eclipse, Gallant wisely wears his eclipse viewing glasses".

    It's stupid stories like these that give Trump and his base reason to call CNN fake news. Who gives a shit if he looked directly at it. I would wager most of Americans did at some point, me being one because it was partially blocked by clouds. This isn't news. It's a comic strip caption at best.

    Yes, Donald Trump really did look into the sky during the solar eclipse


    It's a hopeless situation...

    GOP Senator: 'Difficult to Say' If Trump Will Be Party's Nominee in 2020

            

    A Republican senator raised eyebrows this morning by declining to say whether President Trump would be re-nominated by the GOP in the 2020 presidential election.

    Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who wrote in Paul Ryan last November rather than vote for Trump, made the statement in an interview in Bangor, Maine, with MSNBC's Hallie Jackson.





    Collins was asked about what it might take for Republicans to stop supporting Trump. 

    "Do you think he will end up the party's nominee?" Jackson asked. 

    "It's too difficult to say," Collins answered. 

    Her comment came after a discussion about Trump's response to the deadly Charlottesville white supremacist riots.

    She said President Trump "wavered back and forth" on condemning neo-Nazis and his statements "failed to meet the standard" of leadership of the office.

    Collins opposed Trump and most of her Senate colleagues on repealing ObamaCare, maintaining that the replacement proposals were not good enough. 

    She was joined by Republicans John McCain and Lisa Murkowski in voting with Democrats to block the repeal a few weeks ago. 

    Other Republicans have been highly critical of Trump in recent weeks, with Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) going as far as to question Trump's "stability" and "competence" after Charlottesville.

    If only he had stared at it long enough to go blind. Would that be enough to get him out of office? I mean, he already acts like he can't see anything so what would be the difference really.

    He's not great but it was about as presidential as he's ever been.  He talked about himself at times but exceeded expectations.

    So is he trying to be W?  He even mispronounced terror the same way (terra).

    This is old news.
    Anyone with half a brain, or less then half, knows that President Obama is to blame for everything bad that has ever happened in this country back to and including the Jamestown massacre.

    let's me guess... Graham and Mccain will praise trumps Afghan plan, most Dems will also.
    Trump brings GOP and Dems together with the bi partisan issue of endless war.
