    Changing the subject.

    Add Speaker Ryan to the list of those advising Trump to rethink his DACA stance

    He just gave 8 years of hard work and with a low count of vacation days. I can't imagine why it would matter to anyone but he's done plenty.

    How much have the Waltons donated? Or the Kochs?

    It's okay to scrutinize Trump for giving, but it's not okay to scrutinize Obama - he of newly minted $60MM book deal - for not giving a cent (instead, shopping for a compound on Martha's Vineyard).

    Two lots!

    One for $12MM and the other for $15MM

    That's a lot of paperbacks.

    Local real estate agents are tight-lipped on the reports that the Obamas are house-hunting, since part of the charm of this island is that despite its popularity, VIPs can still get plenty of privacy. That's why it's a magnet for celebs—including Bill Clinton, Larry David, Alan Dershowitz, and David Letterman—some of whom can be frequently sighted at low-key hotspots like the front porch of the Chilmark General Store. According to anonymous sources cited in the Boston Globe, the Obamas are shopping for homes or land lots in the northern, less populated regions of Aquinnah, Chilmark, and West Tisbury.

    Man of the people.
    How dare an ex-President get all uppity. They don't have any special needs like extra security and I'm sure any neighborhood would just love them moving in nextdoor.

    Or even better, the Obamas and their Secret Service Troop should rent out a whole floor on a public housing tenement. It would be no problem to for other tenants to move.

    Sorry if I'm not joining the hallelujah chorus yet. Considering that a reporter won a Pulitzer last year for demonstrating the cynicism and outright fraud of Trump's charitable "donations" over the years, maybe it's best to wait 'til some checks clear.

    That's right. Because we know Trump is a liar and a fraud. Also Trump has a place to live.

    But sure, criticize the guy whose finances were transparent while continuing to carry water for the dude who wouldn't release his tax returns.

    Awesome how defensive people get when you say the slightest disparaging remark on Obama. Very strange cult effect.

    Out in the middle of the prairie sounds like a good place for an old couple.

    What's that got to do with where the Obamas choose to live? Are you really making the case that they don't have a right to live where they want to?

    Its ok to look at Obama's charitable giving. They are available in his publicly disclosed tax returns. Is there any information to share with the rest of us about whether he plans to give to Harvey relief? Please do if you have any.

    How do you know he's not giving? Did he Tweet that he wasn't donating any money to Texas? Because other than that, I wonder how you would know. Most people who donate money do NOT make it public.

    It's called The Cult of Defending Good People.

    Defending a liar, a bully and an admitted abuser of women is more normal, I guess.
