You say it as if its a bad thing, hallie jack sson. Msnbc headquarters here in new york. A day after the midterms, still a number of races to decide, enough results for both parties to take a victory lap. President trump will take his this hour, the president scheduled to appear in the eastern room of the white house for a News Conference roughly 30 minutes from now. Today hes already touted himself as the magic man for last nights senate wins. Never mind losing the house, though. President trump also had a message for the Incoming Democratic majority in the house. Investigate me . We investigate you. We also heard from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell just a few moments ago. The Democrats In The House will have to decide just how much president ial harassment they think is good strategy. Today is more than about democrats and republicans, its about restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the trump
administration. One of the first orders of business that i think that d
I think anyone who has listened to the president over the last couple months talk about the important work Police Officers do. That is something that is worthy of our respect and frankly its something that that the president has praised. I think it speaks to how important it is for Law Enforcement officers to build trust with those they serve and respect. Mr. Obama sometimes praises the police those remarks almost always go hand in hand about a message of bias wrongdoing and racism. A combination of bad training in some cases.

Its not just a one time thing. Its something that happen ss. One of the things that

Im just really sorry im sorry for it to be anyone, but im really sorry, again, my condolences to his family. Major general gene had his masters in National Security policy, also a ph. D. In the engineering field. He was one of more than a dozen people struck, the only one to die, in an attack for which we still have very few answers at this point. Lieutenant tony schafer has experience dating back more than a decade about these socalled insider attacks. What happened here . Simply put, i think you had an infill traitor who was either recruited or became subjected to the talibans influence while he was in the army. He took it upon himself. At this point, theres no direct evidence he was directed. But he took it upon himself to essentially kill the invader, which is the perception that the taliban has put forth about our efforts there in afghanistan.

And thats why theres a laser focus on nfl commissioner Roger Goodell and questions on the leagues handling of the controversy and its why senators are demanding a zer
