Widening as i speak, with new names added on like a traffic lineup in manhattan. Theres still no indication that donald trump is anywhere near to making one of the key decisions of his presidency, who will serve as his chief diplomat. Vice President Elect mike pence ran through some of the top contenders yesterday. I think everyone that hes talked to and has been talked about, whether it be a Rudy Giuliani or mitt romney or General Petraeus or senator corker or john bolten, and others, bring extraordinary background and qualities to this. Nbc news reports that several new names have been added to that list, even if they remain outside contenders. The associated press, meanwhile, is reporting that prospects of Rudy Giuliani and mitt romney, they say, are fading. The new names include jon huntsman, who was critical of trump during the campaign, but who wasnt also reportedly in the mix, ceo of exxonmobil, rex the bulk of the time was with the President Elect, donald trump. I found it an

Like global warming. We cant do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the United States. You combine that with the fact that the State Department has essentially been neutered, e s eviscerated by this administration thus far and watching in real time as america and americas image withdraws from the world. Do you know any republican senator or member of the house whos a republican, any party member of any party who believes the president believes he was wiretapped, who even believes he believes it . I dont think anybody knows exactly what donald trump believes and what he doesnt believe. I think whats scary to many republicans is that theyve had the opportunity to walk this back and theyre putting not only the presidency and the reputation of the presidency, but the reputation of the entire country at risk, the longer that this floats out there. The reality is is congress can ask the Department Of Justice as to whether theres a wiretap, bul but if theres an active invest
Well show you the ballots on the senate floor after the brutal silencing laugh night of senator Elizabeth Warren. The decision s by the judges of the Ninth Circuit which may come later this week could test the limitations of president ial authority and expected to be ultimately be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Today President Trump defended his authority and attacked the judges who will render that decision as well as the court system, itself.

I mean, its so sad. We havent had a decision yet,
