However, the unredacted communications show Parnas referring to Mykola Zlochevsky, founder of Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, as “mr Z” in a Word document outlining his notes after meeting with Zlochevsky. President Trump seized on the revelation of the unredacted material, calling it a “big story” on Twitter, and it is likely to provide further ammunition among Republicans who have accused Schiff of rushing to judgment on impeachment. well, then- maybe if they had been given ACCESS to all the information they NEEDED to DO their investigation, this sort of thing wouldn't happen, now, would it? But no one (no R's, that is) will think about THAT!!

Maybe Flynn's past military service should have taught him what was right, honorable to do to PROTECT our country! ** Former national security adviser Michael Flynn told a federal judge on Wednesday that he should be sentenced at a maximum to probation and community service over charges that he lied to the FBI. In a court filing Wednesday, Flynn’s attorneys repeatedly cited their client’s past military service and volunteer work as evidence that he does not deserve to serve time behind bars.“While the defendants in other cases cited by the government were working to benefit themselves, Mr. Flynn wrote a blank check on his life and put himself in harm’s way for more than five years in foreign deployments and thirty-three years of service to protect all Americans,” they wrote. “Mr. Flynn should receive a sentence, if any, of probation and community service.” ** thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/479379-flynn-asks-for-sentence-of-probation-community-service

Are you ready for this? (You only need to watch one video, they are the same)
"Don’t tell him Obama did it or he’ll try to destroy all the wheels in the world"
Speaking about Elon Musk: “Well, you have to give him credit,” Trump replied. “I spoke to him very recently, and he’s also doing the rockets, he likes rockets, and, uh, he does good at rockets too… And I was worried about him because he’s one of our great geniuses, and we have to protect our geniuses. You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison, and we have to protect all of these people that, uh, came up with, originally, the light bulb and the wheel, and all of these things.”
Although the president pledged to protect the inventor of the wheel, that inventor has been dead for millennia and lived before the United States of America even existed. Additionally, the wheel is in the public domain and not covered by any intellectual property laws.

protect him from what, exactly?!? Is someone out to get Elon Musk, or something? I don't exactly like Trump's last comment, either- "he's going to build a very large plant in the US; he has to. We helped him out, so now he has to help us out." ummm- that's not the way business works-- you don't threaten people with negative repercussions in order to get them to do something you want. (unless you're a mobster thug, which DT totally is)
as an aside, Trump actually sounds kinda coherent (at least the WAY he talks, not the content) in this video... it must not be very recent.
As far as his 'protecting Thomas Edison' and the inventor of the wheel gibberish... Honestly, I think a LOT of the time Trump just does NOT think about what comes out of his mouth. He talks- and then rambles- just to fill the empty space- and to make it SOUND like he's knowledgeable about whatever the topic is, not realizing that what he says makes him look the exact OPPOSITE of knowledgeable. (at least I *hope* he doesn't actually think that an American invented the wheel, anyway!!)

MSNBC...
”President Trump rails about the impeachment trial in morning tweetstorm, with multiple misleading assertions or falsehoods.”
Nothing new about that. That is all he does is lie.

It’s all about the money. It’s always about the money. And this is yet another example that it’s not such a good idea to let a “business person” make policy that affects the masses.
Reuters..
”Greta Thunberg is expected to keep a relatively low profile on Thursday, after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin took a new dig at the young climate activist.
Thunberg, who Mnuchin said should get an economics degree before making calls about fossil fuel divestment, is due to take part in a climate strike on Friday.”

Oh so now they care...
Reuters
Mnuchin says U.S. government must cut spending, shrink deficits: CNBC
(Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday the U.S. government cannot sustain federal deficits growing at current levels and will have to slow the rate of spending.
As he acknowledged the administration of Republican President Donald Trump was considering additional tax cuts to stimulate the economy, Mnuchin blamed government spending - and Democrats in Congress - for the federal deficit.
In an interview with CNBC, Mnuchin said increased military and non-military spending was the cause of the deficits, not the tax cuts pushed through Congress by Trump in late 2017.
He said he remained convinced that those cuts would pay for themselves over a 10-year period. Yet economic growth rates have slowed this year as the benefits of the tax cuts fade and tariffs imposed on Chinese imports hurt American farmers and manufacturers.
Trump felt it was important to rebuild the U.S. military, but to get that done the administration had to agree with Democrats to increase non-military spending, Mnuchin said from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"If you look at the increase in the deficit, a significant component of that is additional government spending," he said.
"There's no question we need to slow down the rate of growth of government spending because we can't sustain these deficits growing at these levels."

Sure glad it is at the other end of the state! ** Plans are being finalized for President Donald Trump’s “Keep America Great Rally” in Wildwood next week, but one thing’s already clear to the mayor: parking will likely be a problem. Early estimates for the rally were nearly 40,000 people for a venue that holds 7,500, and, on Sunday, Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-2nd District) — who Trump is coming to support during the Jan. 28 rally — said 100,000 tickets had been issued. And not everyone will get in, as it’s a first-come, first-serve basis for all ticket holders. Whatever the number ends up being, parking is likely to be at a premium, mainly because several parking spaces near the convention center will not be available to use. “All of the parking lots that surround the convention center are not going to be available,” Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron told NJ Advance Media. “You are going to have to go at least at least two or three blocks and probably looking in residential neighborhoods.” ** www.nj.com/cape-may-county/2020/01/driving-to-the-trump-rally-good-luck-finding-parking.htmlThis is why people are in line a day ahead.... Venue holds 7,500, claimed they issued 100,000 tickets.

A Buckingham Palace official has denied this was a snub, telling the BBC that the prince and Mr Pence had a "long and warm conversation" before the ceremony to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz began.

wow, I'm really surprised, then, at how coherent he sounded compared to most times he speaks in public. When he's reading, fails. When he tries to speak about most topics that he knows nothing about, he rambles. But, if you take a listen to podcasts or radio shows like Rush Limbaugh (his buddy), he sounds completely different!! He sounds more clear and focused, even though the topics are usually hate- filled or competitive garbage that he loves to ramble on about. It's almost like he has his NY/NJ accent on when he's comfortable. Still,he never makes any sense!!

There's also a video of them being introduced earlier on on this twitter feed ( sorry I don't know how to embed a video from twitter)

The one in the twitter feed I linked is the one of them actually meeting earlier just as the palace confirmed they did.

Yamiche Alcindor...
”Rep. Schiff: House managers take no position in the Democratic primary. But polls shows that President Trump had motive to target Joe Biden because Trump had a "growing concern" in Biden's candidacy.”
This shows you how much of a little coward trump is. If he really felt he was keeping all of his promises then whoever the Democrats put up as the nominee shouldn’t matter. But he is so damn insecure that he feels he had to cheat to win.

So I saw this from Carla Marinucci...
”Trump’s golf resort jacked up its room rates as the president decided on a last-minute visit there — possibly adding thousands of dollars in costs for taxpayers picking up the tab. huffpost.com/entry/trump-do… # via @huffpostpol”
Its the RNC Winter meeting.
So I checked trump’s schedule for today. He is flying to Miami and back today.
What an absolute waste of tax payer dollars and since we know big corporations aren’t paying any taxes that means we are the ones paying for trump’s little joy rides. That are geared strictly to his base.

This from Sen Marsha Blackburn
“Putting conditions on foreign aid is nothing new. Clinton did it. Obama did it.”
Prompted this very good response from Evan McMullin..
”Car thieves drive cars and many other people drive cars too. Therefore stealing cars is okay."
It's like there's a stable genius convention in the Senate right now.”

Alexander Vindman while she was supposed to be attending the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. Blackburn, who’s been criticized for not paying attention, was either tweeting from the chamber or left the Senate floor to tweet out her displeasure of the former Iraq vet. On the first day of the trial, Blackburn was caught spending most of her time talking to Fox News. Thursday she was observed reading a book that had nothing to do with the impeachment trial and tweeted multiple times attacking others. ** www.rawstory.com/2020/01/gop-senator-attacked-lt-col-vindman-for-not-being-patriotic-while-she-was-ignoring-the-impeachment-trial/
