It was fun while it lasted, Trumpsters. Time to sell up and move on:

The Payday Loan (”tax cut”) will be due before Trump’s time is up. Trump will achieve nothing in 3 years and after the 2018 elections the barely Republican congress will have no votes to pass anything. Each budget will be a struggle.

'Trump accuses Dems of "treasonous" behavior'
President Trump on Monday accused Democrats of "treasonous" behavior during his State of the Union address, escalating partisan tensions during a crucial stretch for Congress.

Trump took aim at Democratic lawmakers who refused to applaud during his speech last week when he mentioned his achievements during his first year in office, a reaction he called “un-American.”

"Can we call that treason? Why not?" the president said during a speech in Ohio. "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."

Trump signaled that Democrats’ refusal to cheer “very positive news” in his speech, such as low unemployment rates for Hispanics and African-Americans, will make it difficult for him to work with them on government spending and immigration.

NYT: Why I Am Leaving the F.B.I.
excerpts:
One of the greatest honors of my life was walking across the stage at the F.B.I. Academy and receiving my special agent badge from the director at the time, Robert Mueller. After 21 weeks of intensive training, my class swore an oath and became federal agents entrusted with the solemn duty of protecting Americans and upholding the Constitution.

After more than a decade of service, which included investigating terrorism, working to rescue kidnapping victims overseas and being special assistant to the director, I am reluctantly turning in my badge and leaving an organization I love. Why? So I can join the growing chorus of people who believe that the relentless attacks on the bureau undermine not just America’s premier law enforcement agency but also the nation’s security. My resignation is painful, but the alternative of remaining quiet while the bureau is tarnished for political gain is impossible.
There is, however, a difference between oversight by those in charge of holding the F.B.I. accountable and criticism by politicians seeking partisan gain. Political operatives are weaponizing their disagreement with a particular investigation in a bid to undermine the credibility of the entire institution. “The system is rigged” is their slogan, and they are now politicizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act process used to collect critical intelligence about our adversaries.

The assumption among confused and dismayed F.B.I. employees is that the attacks are meant to soften the blow should the investigation by Mr. Mueller, the special counsel, lead to additional charges. However, these kinds of attacks by powerful people go beyond mere criticism — they could destroy the institution. Although those critics’ revisionist supporters claim their ire is reserved for institutional leadership and not the rank and file, it is the F.B.I. agent on the street who will be most severely affected as public support for federal law enforcement is sacrificed for partisan gain.

Tax bad! Trump good! Winning!

Democrat leaders should be shot as traitors:
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, they want to raise your taxes and they don't want to give the money to the military," Trump said during a speech outside Cincinnati, Ohio, referring to the Minority Leaders in the House and the Senate, respectively.

Imagine being a working class stiff and following Trump, a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. How little awareness do you have to have to find yourself doing that?

Trump must be loving all this attention. Positive or negative does not matter so long his mugshot is on the front page or he is the centre of criticism on news programmes it satisfies him and his thicko supporters.

It didn't look serious to me. Looked like he was kidding - his expressions and gestures, and tone. Somebody commented on youtube or Twitter or something, he said. And, he throws up his arm "why not?" Sure! Why not?

Didn't seem like a big deal. But, this is a guy who can't have a scoop of ice cream or a peice of steak without getting criticized, so kidding around is right out.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

The president of the United States jocularly agreeing that it's treasonous when people who don't give him the adulation he believes is his due doesn't seem like a big deal to some because this particular president has discarded any semblance of dignity and respect for the office that he holds. He wasn't joking when he said that Democratic members of Congress not applauding him was un-American. 'L'etat c'est moi,' indeed.
