He's telling donald, show them your hands aren't small, you have BIG beautiful hands! You have a BIG beautiful mind.
Show everyone you are NOT stupid, you can go toe to toe with Bob Mueller! Prove your lawyers wrong! YOU are NOT as DUMB as everyone says you are!

Very few that have as big a platform as he has.

I'd never vote for him or anything else, he's got his history. But he's proving to be quite useful in trying to reach at a number of conservatives and shaming them unlike a lot of others.

Scarborough has MILLIONS who follow him on Twitter.

All this week he's been ripping Paul Ryan, McConnell and Nunes to shreds. Calling them spineless clowns among other derogatory names. I don't hear any other pundits or MSM networks doing this to the degree Scar and his crew are.

Which I understand, but it's blinding them because they're not paying attention to what one area is saying that does have an impact. Even just in the sense that MSNBC is "allowing" it to happen seemingly daily.

Congresscritter explaining that Flynn, et al are in trouble for lying to FBI, not underlying crimes, that they were trapped. Joe is adding context that Mueller was smarter than all of them. Then pushing DOTUS to prove he's smarter than Mueller and all of them.

He's too dumb/scared/guilty/whatever. In what ever political/social context one tends to engage, it should be mentioned why Trump won't talk. It'll drive him nuts.

They were talking about the Dow dipping down yesterday and past financial crisis. Then the discussion went to the current Treasury secretary and Ratner said there are lots of qualified people who could do this job, unfortunately none of them are in this cabinet. Now that is scary, especially at our age (60's) and our savings is dependent on the Donald being able to pick a good cabinet. They threaten our social Security and our savings also.

on CBS Sunday Morning. They asked her if she was disappointed that the Dumbass in the WH didn't keep her on. She had some tremendous credentials, but of course that coupled with the fact that she's a woman and about ten thousand times smarter than the Dump, well, of course she was let go.

On another note, one of the best signs from this past Women's March was "I've seen better cabinets at Ikea." LOL

I retired the first of this year and will live the rest of my life on my retirement savings and it's pretty damned scary with the group of imbeciles now running things.

"Barack Obama was too much of a wimp to chug a gallon of weed killer on camera. I bet Donald Trump could do that. It's too bad he won't show us how brave he is by doing what Obama just flat-out refused to do."

"That's right, Mika. Obama was also too cowardly to impale himself on a Japanese katana, if you can believe that. Do you think Donald Trump is brave enough to try that? How will we ever know? (shrugs)"
