Discussion: WATCH LIVE: White House Press Briefing At 2:30 PM ET

Who’ll be the brave reporter who asks her about this? But if she’s asked, she’ll say the reporter has to check with the Treasury Secretary.

in a sign that Republicans are growing concerned about the political liability of soaring deficits, the House will vote Thursday on a constitutional amendment to require balanced budgets. Since such constitutional amendments require two-thirds of the House and Senate to agree, it is unlikely to pass Congress, let alone be ratified by the states.

But the flurry of recent legislation is making it difficult for Republicans to continue blaming President Barack Obama and Democrats for the government’s fiscal condition.

The only way I’d watch this miscreant is if I were assured that HIllary Rodham Clinton, herself, would march up onto the stage and slap the mendacious Sarah in the chops with a three week old mackerel, followed by a left jab to the jaw, and a punch to the solar plexus.

Trump’s recently released budget is a wake-up call. It projects that this year, a year of relatively strong economic growth, low unemployment and continued historically low interest rates, the deficit will reach $870 billion, 30 percent greater than last year.

The Rs have been woke ever since they acquired PP who they knew was, shall we say, malleable.

This is even better. He really does look like Mussolini; or the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius. But then again, I love Sibelius, so Mussolini it is.

They’ve got the slow-witted resentment and suspicion down perfectly. Bravo.

With every one of these so-called briefings, they become more and more useless and more and more a sick joke. Sarah Hamhock is as much an embarrassment to the nation as her boss, the fake president Drumpf. Who do they think they are fooling?

HRC was as serious as a heart attack when she said this. But did enough people believe her? No.

Somebody here whose username I can’t remember uses the pic of PP as his avatar. Pretty funny and prescient.
