Rex Tillerson confirmed. Woo Hoo!

President Trump and Ivanka currently on Marine One, flying to honor and pay tribute to William "Ryan" Owens, the SEAL Team Six operative killed in the Yemeni raid last weekend.

Outstanding!!! Especially after the Failure-in-Chief, who typically couldn't be bothered because he had a pressing golf game.

Just like your washed up ex-President, who could not keep his mouth shut the customary year, but had to start flapping his gums after only 10 days, you appear to live in a fantasy world where real change is something unimaginable. I simply will not waste my time responding to every one of your specious, silly points.

Agreed. And what POTUS did was stop his day to fly to the airfield where CPO Owens's body is arriving. Not fit it into his schedule as a briefing tomorrow or the next day.

Edit to add, just in case someone misunderstands: this is not a "photo op." The meeting is private; no press. The family will receive the body, be given time together, then will meet with President Trump.

:patriot: President Trump
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

You may not agree with all of his stances, but dang, I think we got more than what we paid for so far.

Here's a sample of the liberal lies and talking points being debunked. Notice how the reporter wouldn't answer the question Spicer asked him and started deflecting.

I also love Spicer's response, “So I apologize that NBC News’s reporting is based on the Times’ false reporting.”

The liberals continue to lie in their effort to discredit Trump. It's doing nothing but backfiring.

Not only that, it's not costing us a penny. He is refusing the POTUS salary. I've never seen anyone work harder for less in my life. :cheers2:

Does anyone else think that all this unrest is taking a very dark and serious tone? Now you have Hollywood celebrities and Democrat politicians applauding last night's riot at Berzerkley and others calling for a military coup. The unhinged leftist, marxist agitators make me concerned about potential growing clashes as the sides become more and polarized and the left gets more violent.

The tangentially related supreme headscratcher of the administration so far:

Publisher's Weekly reported yesterday that the #1 selling book in the country after 10 days' of the Trump Presidency is...wait for it...wait for it...George Orwell's 1984.
John Maher, for Publisher's Weekly wrote:Print sales of the Signet Classics edition of 1984 for the week ended Jan. 29 were almost 26,000 copies at outlets that report to NPD BookScan, making it the biggest selling book in the week. Sales the previous week were about 4,500 copies.

"In one week, Signet Classics has reprinted 500,000 copies of 1984," Signet v-p and executive publicity director Craig Burke said. "That’s [over twice what] we sell in a typical year."
Our leftist educators adding maybe a little something to the spring and summer quarters about the election of Donald Trump? :banghead:

Now the left is opening calling for military coup. I hope AG Sessions will consider sedition charges.

It concerns me, but only because we do not have an Attorney General yet. I don't believe that President Trump and his administration is going to be as easy-going on violent protestors and advocates of overthrowing the government as the previous administration.

As for the leftists themselves, they should be very careful with their words calling for like minded people to start punching those who disagree with them. I'm not sure they understand how well armed their opposition is.

Speaking of the previous administration, the former President could put all of this unrest to an end by publicly telling his side to cut it out.

Yeah if people like Judd Apatow and Sarah Silverman would step out of their echo chamber for a moment and realize what they are up against hopefully they would shut the heck up. As it is, I am in favor of arresting them for incitement to domestic terror.

And how many of those 97% did you see becoming violent, rioting, and calling for a military coup because they strongly opposed President Obama's policies and administration? We may not have liked his policies and predilections, but he was the President of the United States of America. We respected the office. Now that officeholder has changed.

Dear Sarah Silverman: Get over it, sweetheart.
