William Henry Harrison lived only 31 days after his swearing in and holds the record as the shortest serving President.

Tomorrow Trump will have surpassed that mark.

Seems to be a lot in the news about the 25 Amendment and Trump. Apparently people feel he is unfit for office and can be removed using this amendment.

I have never experienced this level of contempt in the media for a new President this soon into office. Previously there was this sort of unwritten rule that the press did not get out their fangs until 100 days had passed. It was called a honeymoon. No so with this President. At least today Milo has kept the heat off the President, plus he was flying back from Florida, so it kind of a travel day so to speak.

Apparently people spent their President's day holiday at Anti President day Rallies. http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/20/us/not-my ... -protests/ I worked today. If I had the day off, the last thing I would have done was this.

Riots erupt in Sweden’s capital just days after Trump comments - The Washington Post - www.washingtonpost.com
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wor ... 7c706eb0fc

From the article. "Just Two days after President Trump provoked widespread consternation by seeming to imply, incorrectly, that immigrants had perpetrated a recent spate of violence in Sweden, riots broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood in the northern suburbs of Sweden's capital, Stockholm."

BTW this is from the news section not an edititorial.

So let me get this straight...
To prove that they are not responsible for violent attacks, the immigrants went on a violent rampage? Ok, I understand it fully now. :???:

They took it down. They are covering their tracks a lot now days. At least I copied the best part so their bias is preserved.

Sorry may have missed a few days.

I think yesterday Trump signed an executive order reversing Obama's Transgender bathroom edict. From reports you think he ordered all transgender people rounded up. I believe he just said states decide who can go in which restrooms in schools. Here is a typical news story about it. There were protest rallies in lib states who won't be affected at all.

Today he is speaking at CPAC. Quite a change from last year when they didn't particularly like him.

John McCain just systematically dismantled Donald Trump’s entire worldview - The Washington Post - www.washingtonpost.com

I used to support McCain, even sent him some money for his campaign. Wish I could get it back.

What's worse he was overseas.

McCain has been a Democrat in Republican clothing for a long time now. I don't know when he comes up for reelection, but I hope the fine folks in Arizona send him packing

I mirror that. I supported McCain and also gave his presidential campaign money. At the time, he was our only Republican chance.

To Jusme's question...we have a problem. He was re-elected to the Senate last year. I know, because I received whiny emails from his campaign every couple of days until I finally sent them all to my spam filter.

I honestly don't know. McCain has gone from the Republican nominee for president to a senator who seems completely off-party. RINO doesn't say it. McCain has either switched to Dem without announcing it, or he holds a tremendous grudge and will try to do anything he can to derail the Trump presidency.

If I lived in Arizona, I would be sending McCain daily emails telling him to properly represent the Republican party, or to resign.

Shoot. I sent him money for his disastrous presidential bid, so I'm as entitled as anyone to tell him to back off and give the new administration a chance.

I guess when you have nothing but fake news to report, when something "real" happens you have to take advantage of it. Never mind that all of those college administrators are singing Trump's praises for signing an EO to give black colleges more opportunities for federal grants, and research contracts, something Obama completely ignored during the past 8 years. Lets talk about a woman putting her feet on the couch. :banghead:

Two words for the MSM and Democrats: Monica Lewinsky
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Today Donald Trump did something historic. He signed an EO to promote, encourage, and require that historically black colleges get, if not equal, perhaps preferential consideration for Federal grants for research, development, and implementation of scientific, projects.

That is pretty hard to denigrate, even from the left. Obama had 8 years to do something like this but he was too busy playing golf.
The only thing the MSM is focused on is Ms. Conway's feet on the couch. I know the Clinton News Network will call of the College officials "Mediocre Negroes" but in my opinion it makes Obama look worse than Al Joleson in blackface. ( look it up)
