Come Heller high water …- Trump disgusts me on many levels, but his tweet mocking Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski revealed the last grotesque ounce of his character. If you missed it, he tweeted: “I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”
- Disgusting. If the guy can’t lead, the least he could do, you would think, is behave like a gentleman toward women. Or if he can’t do that, at least say nothing.
Republicans, as someone who was raised to hold doors for women, this guy is your president not mine. I’ve had 10 presidents during my lifetime. He’s not one of them. - But then should we have expected anything else after the Billy Bush video? We don’t have a commander-in-chief, we have a cad-in-chief.
- I had some lingering respect for Melania Trump for putting up with that doofus. Then her spokesperson said this about the Mika tweet: ‘As the First Lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder.” So much for the anti-cyberbullying campaign she keeps talking about.
- The Michigan DNR confirmed the first ever sighting of a cougar downstate this week in Clinton County near Lansing. Someone snapped a photo of it running across a road at night. This is creepy, of course, but I’ll bet you there are plenty of others. The trails in Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore have had cougar warnings posted for years.
- Michigan United Conservation Club members voted this week to seek sandhill crane and mourning dove hunting seasons in the state. Sandhill cranes have been protected for 100 years and mourning dove hunting was overwhelmingly rejected by voters 10 years ago. So, naturally, expect this to immediately pass the state Legislature, which doesn’t give a damn about what you or I think if we happen to disagree with what their donors think.
- Apparently it’s pessimism day today in the column. Can you blame me?
- Listen, if I lived in Flint I wouldn’t pay my water bill either. Why should people be forced to pay for poison? That’s ridiculous. Yes, I know it’s supposedly now safe, but would you trust it if your health was at risk? No, you wouldn’t. A lot of pipes haven’t been replaced, and many people, if not most, are still filtering or living off of bottled water. The state caused this problem, the state should pay for water until the entire city is lead-free.
- Tell me again how Obamacare is falling apart? A Fox News poll says only 27 percent of registered voters support the Senate’s health care bill. Fifty four percent oppose it. If Obamacare was that bad, would that many people oppose it? I don’t think so. Other polls show even more disdain for the Senate’s plan. Nicely done, Mitch McConnell. Nicely done.
- Michigan is giving Amazon – soon to be known as the Empire, as it continues its mission to wipe out all retail everywhere – $5 million in state funds to build a second distribution center here. Amazon is worth in the area code of $430 billion? So why does it need to extort money from a poor state? Makes no sense to me.
- If you’re thinking, “Worth it for 1,600 jobs,” consider that at least one study estimates Amazon has caused the elimination of 149,000 more retail jobs than it has created with its warehouses. Don’t know if the study is accurate or not, but it’s something to consider. What happens to society when there are no stores anymore?

For the record, he’s not my president either. He disgusts me as no other has ever done. The saying “”tis better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it” is about all I have to say about Trump.
And that really says it all, Judith. Perfect.
So with you too, Judith (& Andrew). Read in a post that someone was “mortified by his ignorance”. Yep~ on so many levels.
Yep, He is the right winger’s president, and I hear they are quite proud of him and themselves for voting for him.
(Watch, one of them might call me a filthy name that reveals something about himself any minute now and the other will bring up Bill Clinton).
So much for civility and mutual respect, but I do respect the Legislators who are calling him out on this. I caught the Melania quote, also…apparently it’s ok to cyber-bully if you’re DT, just like it was ok for him to bash President Obama, and ok to insult the Democrats, invite only the Republicans to a meeting, and complain about obstructionism. If he would put his phone down and attempt to do his job, maybe the world could see if he’s capable of doing it.
I have no need to call Fred a nasty name or to bring up slick willey clinton. It would be just a waste of time. However, I will state that if a conservative was to hand Fred a boot full of water with the instructions printed on the bottom on how to empty the boot, Fred would have a hard time understanding the instructions.
I am not happy with some of the things that President Trump says on twitter. He needs to either slow down his comments and also send them through one of his support staff.
But democrats have very thin skins and cannot tolerate anybody that does not blindly accept their way of thinking. Democrats are so 1984 (the book that is).
No matter what President Trump does they will find a specious reason to oppose it.
Okay Andrew, what was the comments that were made by Mika Brzezinski and by Psycho Joe that upset President Trump. Sorry, I had to use psycho Joe because I do not know who he is.
On a side note again, the city council of Detroit (mainly democrats) has taken money set aside for schools and parks and recreation and moved to another account to help fund the new arena for the Pistons in downtown Detroit.
This is money that is being given to billionaires that should be paying for the new stadium out of their own pockets, not fleecing the taxpayers.
“Okay Andrew, what was the comments that were made by Mika Brzezinski and by Psycho Joe that upset President Trump. ” Wait a minute. Didn’t you just say Democrats have then skin? I remember Obama was the target of trump’s birther movement for years and he barely acknowledged it. That is what tough looks like, in case you aren’t sure.
“On a side note again, the city council of Detroit (mainly democrats) has taken money set aside for schools and parks and recreation and moved to another account to help fund the new arena for the Pistons in downtown Detroit.”
So how do you feel about what these republicans are doing? “Michigan is giving Amazon – soon to be known as the Empire, as it continues its mission to wipe out all retail everywhere – $5 million in state funds to build a second distribution center here. Amazon is worth in the area code of $430 billion? So why does it need to extort money from a poor state? “.
Make sure you check the bottom of your boot for the answer. I am pretty sure it is not in your head.
Fred, should our paths ever cross, coffee and danish are on me.
I’m far more worried about the GOP mimicking the Handmaid’s Tale – published in 1984.
OK, now I have to go read that.
What is this thing Trump has about women bleeding? In today’s tweet, he wrote about Mika, “bleeding badly from a facelift.” ??? And, do you recall he got in trouble early in the campaign for tweeting about Meagan Kelly “bleeding from her eyes or somewhere”? ???! These are not nice tweets, but what the heck is he even talking about?????
And, Andrew you are younger than I. I just made a quick list. I have had thirteen Presidents in my lifetime.
Mine are Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama. Then there’s a four year gap ending in 2020.
So, you really have had 11 Presidents. Cheers. Born during the Kennedy Administration is a very good thing. You and I might have ridden our bikes around together, back when America still was great. I might have played Little League with your older brother. ( Older sisters were not allowed to play baseball, back then… That was not a good thing, but, still, it was a glorious time to grow up in the USA!)
Nope. Just 10. Trump holds the office but he’s not my president. Not any longer. I’m done.
Meanwhile unhinged Democrats are literally shooting at Republican Congress members and security staff because fake news generating liberals will tell any lie in order to attack President Trump and Republicans. “Antifa” terrorists attack people, set fires and create IEDs to try and kill Trump supporters.
I don’t care one bit about his tweets. I carry a handgun to protect myself and my family from Democrat terrorists. Your side are literally committing mountains of felonies and you cry about tweets?
Cry harder And…. Cry harder!
Good Lord, ONE unhinged Democrat takes aim at Republicans and you act like it happens every day. I won’t even bother to go down the list of right wing extremists that have killed DOZENS of people in this country. I can say with 100% certainty, though, that they weren’t Democrats. Or liberal.
Won’t waste my breath on the “antifa” comment. Liberals despise their actions just as much as you do.
“Mountains of felonies”? Sorry, that would be Trump and his swamp colony.
Ha. Yup.
Along that line of thinking I guess the nut job that stabbed the officer at bishop is a republican terrorist because Trump has created more hate than there was before. Don’t worry about democrats they are your friends. Worry about terrorists that Republicans have created through your hatred. They are your enemies. Oh and by the way I got a son in law that fought in Afghanistan for your freedom and mine. Guess what ? He’s a Democrat. Terrorist? I don’t think so?
Has it been a week since the shooting of Republican Scalice took place? The words regards insulting language, civility, joining together were spoken by Pres Trump in a solemn statement. Sadly he doesn’t understand or care that as president he’s speaking as leader of the USA. This trash talk will not stop. There is no dignity in the White House, no sense of history and awe of what it stands for. His press spokesperson defends his tweets today as his response to being criticized every day.
I’ve got an idea…ignore the criticism, quit tweeting ,act like what you are supposed to be the representative and leader of ALL citizens of the USA. F..ing grow up.
It’s kind of hard to grow up when he has such thin skin. He is 71 years old, if he hasn’t grown up by now, he never will. I think the more he tweets the deeper the hole he is digging for himself gets. So, lets keep him tweeting.
He doesn’t represent all Americans or even some of them, he is too immature for that responsibility. He represents himself and maybe his family, with some perks to the wealthiest of the nation. His base likes to pretend that he represents them, for a multitude of irrational reasons, but so many of his policies are a clear disregard to even their interests.
The rest of the GOP is in a lose/lose situation. They can stick with trump and sink with him, or they can oppose him and lose the support of his base. They sure are struggling to pass anything while having control of Congress. trump says that is some how the Democrats fault, but they are just sitting back and watching the chaos unfold. The GOP owns this mess, whether they acknowledge that or not.
Don’t get me wrong though. Democrats, we dropped the ball in the last election. trump should had lost by a mile. Let’s make sure he is crushed in 2010, if he makes it that far. He is not what makes America great, the humanity and compassion of our good and decent citizens who cherish our freedoms and cultural diversity is.
The sad thing Fred is he has made this great country the laughing stock of the world. The bad thing is he has done nothing as a president but what he hasn’t done will take a long time to undo!
Maybe the CRYING-STOCK of the world. Can you guys believe we live in this nasty country, with all these mean, dopey leaders? This place is NOT what any of us ever expected.
The man is walking Id
Neil Gorsuch will be on the SCOTUS for about 35 years. How does that make you feel? 🙂
The travel hold against people coming from terrorism hot bed countries kicked in today at 8pm as well. How does that make you feel? 🙂
As a life long Republican I am truly embarrassed.
About as Giddy as the visitor ban Vermont just put in place for States it feels are breeding domestic terrorists. See where this is going???
Truly childish,
Truly inept,
Truly callous,
Truly Donald.
Positively immature,
Positively heartless,
Positively greedy,
Positively Donald.
Really selfish,
Really juvenile,
Really despicable,
Really Donald.
You know that feeling you get when your kid is about to wipe out on his bike and there is nothing you can do to stop it in time?
You cringe and feel the pain without even knowing you moved a muscle.
Your baby has a boo-boo.
Now think in whole country terms. No, let’s make it global.
That face-plant in a heartbeat into a tree or cement with rerod through your eye is what we are watching and arguing about in slow motion.
Our county is being run by a very wealthy carnival barker adept at misdirection.
“Look! You won a HUGE stuffed polar bear for your dying child!”
“Oh, the kid’s dead? I’ll tell my staff to type up something seemingly heartfelt. The “felt for his heart will be HUGE … the biggest.”
4 am Prez Tweat … “Polar bears are mean. Polar bears eat people. Who needs to carry around a big, hot, stuffed polar bear for a kid at a carnival, anyway? Bad polar bears. Mean.
That feeling is the feeling I get for our WHOLE country every time he opens his mouth or chooses to keep it shut to our country’s detriment. It make me cringe. It’s beyond embarrassing.
Spot on, Andrew! On all counts! What saddens me the most is how many people – mostly younger folks – are totally oblivious to all these issues that should cause immense widespread concern.

President Trump’s tweets are beneath the dignity of the White House where presidents diddle interns with cigars and run guns to Mexican drug cartels.
Instead you elect a guy that diddles anything he can get his hands on and does business with the Russian Mafia…oh wait…He is a member of the Mafia.
That’s right , dad. All things have to be taken together. So when Clinton transgressed, the left should have said “Well, Nixon …” How dumb.
The tree of lunacy must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of female TV personalities.

It’s OK to lie about Melania doing porn or about Barron being autistic but DON’T YOU DARE mention the fact that Mika Brzezinski had a facelift!
Don’t recall Mika or Joe saying Barron was autistic or Melania did porn. Oh that’s right, I forgot. If one person says it, all Democrats say it. Gotcha. How dumb II. That argument is beneath you.
As I have said several times already, I love seeing liberal heads explode! And, boom, there are many here! President Trump is my president, all of your president, so get over it. Hilliary lost! Now we can finally start on our way up.
Amen!
I agree–liberal heads explode! The reason why? There is so much knowledge, information, and caring for their fellow humans inside of those heads that they can be over loaded with all of the Bovine Scatology coming from the “conservatives.”
On the other hand, when conservatives are faced with facts and truth from outside of their craniums–they implode! Who knows, when that happens some light might filter through the cracks and, occasionally, they might learn something. Of course if there was something inside of those skulls, they might be able to resist some pressure.
In Michigan, we need to institute a Travel Ban, to keep out people who have dangerous right-wing delusions. People from at least six states need to be excluded from our home state. Which six states? Oklahoma, Kentucky, Mississippi…? What other states?
Singing Donnie:
“These hands are made for grabbin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these hands are gonna grope all over you”
Now it comes out that both Joe and Mika were screwing around on their spouses, while they were married. Boy – These two lying, liberal whores are going for the record on skank behavior!
No wonder liberals like Andy Heller love them so much!
When you stand up for people that cheat on their spouses, it really makes people wonder about the moral integrity of your marriage.
Mika and Joe
They dish it out, but they can’t take it!
In regards to a certain troll who likes to comment here; he can’t possibly be so stupid to not realize that everything he just said applies to donald trump. He is clearly just trying to incite a reaction and cause chaos, because he is a sick old man with nothing better to do, much like donald trump himself. Be a responsible adult. Please don’t feed the trolls.
What has President Trump been up to since the collective left has gotten their panties knotted up in bunch since this stupid spat between President Trump and those two hosts of Morning Joe?
Gave a speech on energy plans for the future. I will not list all the plans. just a couple.
Expanding nuclear energy use (except for the 20% that hilliary sold to the Russians when she was the SOS), a new petroleum pipeline to Mexico and laying ground work for a company called Sempra Energy to sell more natural gas to South Korea.
One other thing he did was to rollback/repeal obamma’s onerous epa regulations that would allow the epa to monitor ground water (especially that which comes from rain). In this regulation the epa would have had the authority to monitor and water hole that drained into a drainage ditch, then to a creek. If you had a overly zealous epa regulator he/she could fine you for draining a mud puddle on your property. It was even worse for farmers.
Loved the cartoon in Fridays’ Flint Journal on page A-9. The participation awards for democrats.
Fred you are the troll. I do not advocate violence. It is the democrats who wear hoods and face masks to attack those that are not in line with their views. It is the snowflakes at some of the universities that get their panties in a bunch and threaten and actually carry out acts of vandalism if a conservative is asked to come and make a speech.
The Berlin wall was not built to keep the West Germans and NATO out of East Germany.
It was built to keep the East Germans from escaping from East Germany.
The communists of Russia have more in common with the democrats than they do with the republicans. I know that Fred will into his usual denial of the truth.
Fred, compadre, I suggest you take your own advice, and stop responding to the trolls. Unfortunately, you still will be obligated to read the trolls, but we have no need actually to respond to them.
Let their words drop, and let them twist slowly in the breeze. You still can make valid points here, but you need not respond directly to the ding-dongs. Especially, that one guy who writes about how he carries a gun, and tells us about his family finances. Yikes! Do not debate him directly, please. He might decide to take his pistol to your neighborhood.
Yeah, that is the one guy I am referring to. The other one is just misinformed and out of touch. There might actually be a shred of hope for him.
As for the one who likes to go on about liberal heads exploding….LOL
Do not feed their need for a reaction.
The ones who actually say something with context and are just misinformed, well that is who you want to debate with. I won’t rule out responding just because I disagree, as long as it is a matter of exchanging different views and learning to understand our positions. That is how we find common ground and learn to work together.
As for those who just throw out something completely stupid, they just want a reaction. Don’t feed those trolls.
