Earlier we saw Trump in his office showing his plan for AF1 featuring darker blue colors, more red, white and blue, and more closely resembling his own Trump plane. Everything that you might encounter online about this argues from appeal to tradition that it's always been done like this. I think there is a fondness for the sky blue color scheme because those colors were chosen by Jacqueline Kennedy. To writers of the pieces I've read, the colors represent her. Changing the colors means ending the loyalty of affection to Jacqueline Kennedy so change is felt with some resentment.
Trump responds the new colors can be considered Melania T colors instead of Jacki O colors although there is little to suggest Melania has anything to do with them.
What was striking right off about that interview was the presence of George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office confabbing with Trump in friendly terms.
My first thought was what is he doing there?
Why did Trump invite him?
Trump told the story of the snake that bites its benefactor then says, "you knew what I was before you picked me up and helped me" at least a dozen times at his rallies.
And now we see Trump picking up a snake and carrying it to Idaho and then to the Oval Office and granting an exclusive interview. With a known Hillary supporter. With all the appearances of letting down his guard in friendly animated revealing conversation. Why give Stephanopoulos an inch when you know in advance he will take a mile and that he is definitely not a friend?
Then, all that we hear about them together is Stephanopoulos asking Trump if he would accept damaging opposition research from a foreign entity.
Boom.
The whole week is saturated with liberal fury.
That other people who aren't me listened to. I skipped a million things about that over the last week.
There was one interview on the Daily Caller with Media Matters representative that I skipped half a dozen times. Apparently, the Media Matters representative argued ridiculously that there is no comparison between Trump accepting damaging information during a campaign (and reporting it to the FBI) and Hillary Clinton actually contracting foreigners for damaging opposition through three firewalls that was then offered United States Intelligence services by several avenues then useed for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. US intelligence services spying on campaigns. Then used to investigate.
Trump supporters insist this is Trump trapping liberals in exposing their hypocrisy.
But what good is that for the national discussion when 90% of reporting in avalanche doesn't acknowledge it, and the 10% of reporting that does show how liberal hypocrisy is exposed is also dismissed? It is not possible to shame the shameless. Not possible to outshout professional shouters.
Why even bother?
He knows more than I do. He knows better than I. He has a much larger picture than I do. Apparently he has his own reasons to endure this abuse; being bitten by snakes.
Is Trump thinking he can get out his message on platforms broader than his usual ways and deliver his own snakebites as he does so? Is Trump reversing his story so he is the snake who bites the reporters who help him get out his message while poisoning the journalists who help him?
What I saw is Stephanopoulos just got bit. But all that I hear is impeach, impeach, impeach. With zero acknowledgment what Trump suggested is legal while the things that Democrats actually did is high crimes.

Steffi is there because the Ozark Mafia wanted him there when they were the Left.
And his job is to be a little wise guy for the Demos. So Trump called it right.
BTW Jackie Kennedy is 59 years ago. And it's not her country, it's our country, and our country's colors are red, white, and blue.
I always thought the current scheme was awfully poofy.
Stuffin' envelopes was granted access so that Trump can maintain (honestly) that he has the most transparent administration in history.
