Lying liars continue to just make sh!t up ...

45 has set SUCH a shining example of how to conduct yourself ...

A Republican congressman claimed that former President Barack Obama has chosen to stay in Washington in order to run a “shadow government” aimed at undermining President Donald Trump.

The Obamas have said they would keep living in the nation’s capitol until their younger daughter, Sasha, graduated from high school.

But Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) saw more devious motives at work.

“President Obama himself said he was gonna stay in Washington until his daughter graduated. I think we oughta pitch in to let him go somewhere else because he’s only there for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to run a shadow government that is gonna totally upset the new agenda,” Kelly told a gathering in his home state on Saturday.

He suggested that the former president was somehow blocking the Republican agenda, even as the GOP controls both chambers of Congress and the White House.

“People sit back and they say to me, ‘My gosh, why can’t you guys get this done?’ I’m saying we’ve got a new CEO, we’ve got some new heads in the different departments, but the same people are there, and they don’t believe that the new owners or the new managers should be running the ship.” the congressman said.

Thomas Qualtere, a Kelly spokesman, tried to walk back his boss’s comments on Friday ....

SO -- anyone who has been a teacher, or studied learning, knows that MODELING is our primary, most natural way of learning. "Monkey See, Monkey DO." THAT is why it matters that our leaders comport themselves with dignity, and model rational behaviors -- BECAUSE PEOPLE COPY THEM!

Even if some leader is TECHNICALLY INCOMPETENT, it STILL matters that they basically BEHAVE LIKE A GOOD PERSON ... 'cause ... MODELING!

what they are doing, is it any surprise that people don't fall in line? Really?

So it makes perfect sense that Bannon can't move to the White House during the school year but it doesn't make sense that Sasha would want to finish high school where she started. They are truly insane.

...they should demand them. Every single day until the criminal in the White House is gone.

Just my humble opinion.
