"Isn’t it just the best thing that we’ve finally got a President of the USA who calls a shithole a shithole? In fact of all Donald Trump’s many qualities, I think this may be his greatest and his most underrated strength.....
........Here’s a thought experiment to help them along. You’re a young Iranian woman who has just been serially raped by the guards in the shithole cell of your shithole prison as part of your shithole-state-sanctioned punishment for appearing in public without your hijab, as part of a demonstration demanding women’s rights in this hellish, misogynistic theocracy. In the shithole cell next door you can hear the screams of one of your fellow campaigners being tortured. Chances are, this misery is only going to end when some kangaroo court sentences you to death by firing squad or hanging from a crane. Who would you prefer to be in charge of U.S. foreign policy? a) Barack Obama, the guy with the Harvard Law School dignity and the Davos-style diplomatist’s smoothy chops patter who’d almost never use words like “shithole” in polite company, not least because ideologically he can’t see how the oppressive white male hegemony of the U.S. is really any superior to differently special nations like Haiti or Somalia – or Iran; b) Donald Trump, the guy who knows a shithole when he sees one, tells it like it is, and actually does something about it."www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/01/14/james-delingpole-trump-making-world-great-one-shithole-time/Just as an aside: I have never trusted D1ck Durbin after first seeing how he talks to the TV cameras in debates rather than to the Senators he is meant to be debating with. Nobody else at the meeting seems to recall the 'shithole' comments from the President. Strange.

Scott Adams Blog "The Small Business Optimism Index hit an all-time high. That’s the new Presidential Approval Poll.
In olden days (pre-2016), candidates for president were not so different from each other. I can remember pundits complaining endlessly about how similar the Democrats and Republicans had become. In that environment, you can easily imagine someone who voted for Candidate A warming up to Candidate B. In those simpler times, a presidential approval poll meant something.
Today, a “presidential approval poll” is little more than taking attendance. If you’re a Democrat, you disapprove of President Trump as a lifestyle choice. If you voted for Trump, you probably still approve of him because you knew exactly what you were getting. And if you are an anti-Trump conservative, you allow cognitive dissonance to rule your brain and you say he’s doing a good job but you disapprove of him anyway. David Brooks accidentally described this phenomenon in this article......."Read more at: blog.dilbert.com/2018/01/09/president-trump-earns-highest-presidential-approval-level-time/#more-16728

Re the New York Times link in the above extract. In one part it says: "I sometimes wonder if the Invisible White House has learned to use the Potemkin White House to deke us while it changes the country."
I don't think that it 'learned' to do that - I think that the press is being pwned on a continual basis except that they don't realize it. It is the same as Durbin coming out and claiming Trump said 'Sh1thole' to take the news cycle away from Democrats' failure on the DACA negotiation. Trump's Whitehouse is getting the press to run in circles all the time. Sometime soon - spring? I suspect we will see a rapid change to a 'so what have the Democrats done?' and 'don't trust the media further than you can spit a grand piano'. The people will have extra money in their pockets, jobs are increasing especially for minorities, stockmarket up - and could suddenly come to the conclusion that the people with a mental problem are the 'never Trump' RINOs and Democrats.

Of Crudeness and TruthThoughts on President Trump’s latest verbal tempest Andrew Klavan January 12, 2018 Politics and law Enter President Donald Trump. He is a rude and crude person. He speaks like a Queens real estate guy on a construction site. And because he does not have good manners, he thoughtlessly breaks the rules with which the Left has sought to muzzle those who disagree with them. In this regard, I frequently compare Trump to Randle Patrick McMurphy, the loudmouthed, ill-mannered roustabout from Ken Kesey’s brilliant novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. McMurphy comes into an insane asylum controlled by a pleasant, smiling nightmare of a head nurse named Ratched. Nurse Ratched, while pretending to be the soul of motherly care, is actually a castrating, silencing tyrant. Her rules of good manners, supposedly fashioned for the benefit of all, are really a system of mental slavery. All of McMurphy’s salient character flaws suddenly become heroic in the context of her oppression. Only his belligerent ignorance of what constitutes good behavior can overturn the velvet strangulation of her rule.
For Nurse Ratched, read Hillary Clinton, CNN, the New York Times, Yale University, Twitter, and Google/YouTube—all the tender ministers of polite silence and enforced dishonesty. If Donald Trump’s boorishness crashes like a bull through the crystal madhouse of their leftism—well, good. It’s about time.

I love visiting Arizona, it is a great place to vacation. The Grand Canyon, Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, Canyon De Chelly and soooo much more. What a shame that they have 2 "Republican" Senators that are as much an embarrassment as my 2 Democrat Senators here in The Peoples Republic of New York.
