Thanks bud. Much appreciated. I’m looking forward to what Rex Tillerson has to say,most of the rest is pretty predictable.

The White House, which has offered varying reasons for Comey’s dismissal, will not be sending a member from its communications department to make the rounds on this week’s shows.

“Even Fox News is having trouble getting WH surrogate for Sunday shows: ‘They’re not answering the phone,’ Chris Wallace says of press shop,” a reporter from Bloomberg News wrote on Twitter.

There is nothing to tell. We are engaged in a war against the press, their egos and our President. Their job is to report what is happening - all they report are issues that upset them and not what Trump is actually accomplishing. i.e., I learned last night on Judge Jeniene that Trump talked to the representative of Russia AND Ukraine and spoke of peace. He’s doing a good job and I really don’t blame him for wanting to totally shut out the press. We the people will hear from Trump directly and that is good enough for me. You cannot hid Trump’s huge light under abusive coverage of press.

Just be patient! Job made it and so will Donald.

The MSM rewards the #NeverTrumpers Sasse, Lee, and Graham portraying them as the face of the GOP. Lee makes a rare appearance to put forth his view that Merrick Garland should be the new FBI Director. Graham will advocate his NeoCon views of putting more troops into Syria and Afghanistan along with increasing the pressure on NK even it means a military confrontation. And Sasse will be his usual crazier than batsh*t self.

Warner is on several shows to spew the Russian collusion garbage while the Chairman of the Senate Intel Committee, Burr, is nowhere to be found. Schumer and Schiff will make their predictable call for a Special Prosecutor. And Clapper will retract his categorical statement that there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

Tillerson will be asked about his climate change position and the signing of the agreement at the recent Artic conference.

All in all, this must be one of the worst anti-Trump Sunday morning talk show guests in history. This is payback for Trump suggesting that the daily WH briefings be changed to another format. Fortunately, viewership will be even less than usual with Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day to all.

What a line up! I think the media is trying to prop up the Democrat party, but both are dead...

Sounds like if Trump recorded his meeting/phone calls with Comey, congress will subpena those recordings.

Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft — who had close ties with the vice president and president — had his deputy, James B. Comey (now the FBI director), appoint a special prosecutor. Comey tapped Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney from Chicago, and Fitzgerald aggressively investigated for two years, ultimately convicting Cheney chief of staff Scooter Libby on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

I proclaim my expertise on the matter of Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame, bathroom attendant for the CIA.

Note in the copy and paste above, from the Washington Post, well goodness COMEY APPOINTED FITZGERALD!

Remember it was discovered that a buddy of Colin Powell released the info about Plame but this independent prosecutor, APPOINTED BY THE VERY HONEST AND DECENT COMEY, sent Scooter Libby to jail anyway, never mind the truth or anything.

And then there's Sandy Berger.

Here's my bigger question, why is some nobody on FreeRepublic telling this? Why don't the Republicans come out and tell this story over and over?

Instead we get Lindsay Graham on Meet the Press agreeing to appoint and independent prosecutor, knowing the awful history of this action.

Staying clear of morning shows this morning (no Fox on cable up here in the mountains east of ABQ), but can get over the air shows. CBS Sunday Morning has some good segments even though most are blatently liberal and pro-gay.

This morning’s lead segment was about an Afghan-veteran Lt. army colonel who was traveling with his family in Belgium when they got caught in the Isis airport bombing. His wife was killed and he and the four children were badly injured. The spokesperson for the segment is the 18-year old daughter who barely survived losing her leg. The father admits that while he was trained and could lead his men in combat, being Mr. Mom for four children, two of which are recoverying from serious injuries, is entirely something else. Though terrorism was the cause, it is not mentioned except at the start. A different but well done Mother’s Day segment.

Getting back to Trump, Drudge has links to the continuing White House leaks on turmoil in the Trump presidency. All attempt to portray Trump as overbearing and vindictive with his staff trying to stay on message when it may change even as they are speaking with the press, and them taking his criticism and blame for his mistakes. That, more than all the Destroy Trump Media stories about Comey, the Russians, health care, Congress, etc. bother me and the leaks from the White House absolutely must stop. They contribute to the narrative that he is unhinged and unfocused, and totally unsuitable for the job. Job one, IMO, is preventing these as they more than anything else have the possibility of destroying his authority and his presidency.

Tried watching. Enjoyed Kellyannes interview but that was it. The same mindless blathering talking points over and over. A beautiful day here, don’t need this stuff ruining the day. Stopped watching the “news” months ago but always used to enjoy the Sunday morning shows. No more. Not even a pretense of fairness/honesty.
