Moore and steve bannon, a man described this way by peter king. This guy does not belong on the national stage. He looks like a disheveled drunk. A lot of lessons there for anybody who thought President Trump had rewritten the rules of american politics. His election may have been more about the man than the movement. A movement that may turn out to be not so much grassroots as astroturf. Smoke and mirrors. May no attention to the man behind the curtain. Turns out voters, even in the republican stronghold like alabama, are not in lock step with this president. His Approval Rating, just 48 there, in a state that he carried by almost 28 points just a year ago. Turns out that the man who as a candidate who famously said this. I could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldnt lose any voters. That man cant stand on the border of florida and alabama and swing an election. The laws of the political universe, still apply. And betting on voters who swept donald trump i

Wilson criticized the president. She told mrs. Johnson that her husband, get, knew what he signed up for but i guess it still hurts. Those were her recollection. Tonight the congresswoman still stands by those words and the statement she issued last night. That Statement Reads in part despite President Trumps suggestion i have recanted my statement, i stand firmly by my original account of my conversation. This account has been confirmed by family members who also witnessed mr. President trumps incredible lack of compassion and sensitivity. Chief of staff kelly is critical of the congresswoman. He was listening to the condolence call. Killed in afghanistan in action since 2010. He has not wanted to talk about his familys loss publicly. Today he did and didnt hold back much. Take a look. I was stunned when i came to work yesterday morning. And brokenhearted at what i saw a member of congress doing. A member of congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the United Sta
Accused child molester or the first democrat to the senate since 1992. This is an unpredictable race no matter what the outcome is. It just kind of fits into the whole narrative of what weve seen over the past 12 months or so basically since donald trump decided to run for president and quite frankly when he was sworn in january. Everything is quite unpredictable. But these are the odds right now against doug jones, the democrat. As you said youre talking about a state according to gallop 15 of the people describe themselves as republican. 43 describe themselves as conservative. 30 describe themselves as democrats, and another 16 describe themselves as liberals.

Is it really a win for the republicans or the democrats . How is each side going to view this . Well, if youre Mitch Mcconnell, its going to be a loss. Because youre goin
Turned for legal pot . Or might Jeff Sessions opposition be a big bummer, man . First, the president drew laughter and applause yesterday when going after what he recogas as fake news. Thats not new. What made it note worthy was where he said it. He was speaking to graduates of the fbi academy. These are individuals graduating from a tenweek program which is an accredited semester of study from uva. The episode reminded me of an appearance the president made at the cia headquarters in langley. He said then that visiting the cia was his First Official stop and he thanked them for their service. That was appropriate. As he stood in front of a wall memorializing officers killed in the line of duty, the more he spoke the more political he sounded. He defended his inaugural crowd size and even bragged about the number of times hed been on the Time Magazine cover. And he went after the media. As you know, i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on
