to put a spotlight on the feelings but discipline doesn t last very long. i agree it s bad on both sides 120 republicans he has come down one republicans in the past and on the other side of h the agenda with the u-letter s mca trade deal then talk about nafta. but that would be suicidal. is not just all politics the president took thisul decision to pull 1000 troops back from the turkish border than they made the decision to move into northern syria. the president presumably has been taken this from senator rand paul who is an isolationist. so yes you cannot just do these things on the assumption there will not be consequences there are real substantial r
surprised really? they re sitting down at a table and they re facing off and a he s looking at this woman who has commenced an impeachment inquiry into him. it just says something about the toxic nature of that event and how we are unlikely to have any comedy, any civility or any progress on any issue in washington. paul: if you re the president, shouldn t your goal here be to marshall a defense on impeachment and then separate that out from your agenda and be able to and put pressure on nancy pelosi and say all right, you re going to do impeachment but let s what are you going to do for the american people? are you going to pass the usmca agreement? are you going to do something on the rest of your ayou jen da or not? agenda or not? you see brief moments where he seems to be interested in doing that. a couple weeks ago he gave a speech on health care and said look, the democrats are not doing anything for you here. we need to make fixes and changes, here s what i m doing, puttin
and so it s with great respect that i speak of him and proud to say that i worked for him. it s been a seismic cascade of events since last weekend s arrest of a former penn state defensive coordinator on charges of raping and molesting a number of other boys. two of the university officials are charged with failure to report those crimes. paterno is charged with nothing, but says he wishes that he had done more than simply tell his superiors what an assistant reported to him back in 2002. i want to go now to penn state campus and cnn s jason carroll. jason, we know it was a pretty rough night last night. what s been the atmosphere on campus today. reporter: things much, much calmer out here today. vast difference from what was experienced out here last night by many. so many of the students trying to get a handle on things today. just about half-an-hour ago some students gathered just behind us here trying to speak out, trying to speak in terms of the victims. but just a
that would be a focus of concern. so i do think that trump is going to continue to play a role in terms of what we all talk about in the echo chamber. unless, of course, he shows that he has no discipline whatsoever and continues to talk about the birther issue a lot for the coming weeks. discipline doesn t seem to be his strong suit. so buckle up. here comes more trump. all right, dana milbank and maggie heavierman, thanks for joining us. president obama s vowing to do something about high grass pri prices. now that the numbers are in and democrats are on the track, paul ryan isn t sounding so tough. we ll tell you why he s backpeddling.

when he called that press conference on june 16th, 2009. the only person who seemed not to know it was john ensign. and so he has been dragged, kicking and screaming, every step of the way. people expected him to resign in the summer of 2009. look how long this has taken. there is a mountain of evidence that ensign has done wrong. again, depending on how you define wrong. the ethics committee has all of that. whether or not the department of justice ever could have prosecuted him, criminally, we may never know. but to just say that he could be censured by the ethics committee, i don t think he wanted to stick around under those circumstances. john, real quick, if he does resign, is it over? i mean, does he just get to ride into the sunset and doesn t have to worry about any kind of investigations? while we were having those technical problems, he actually put out a release, finally announcing what i reported about an hour ago, which he put out a release, that s headlined right in f
