“When Bill Clinton issued pardons on his last day in office, the incoming Bush DOJ launched an investigation, as did Congress. That scrutiny was legitimate. The D'Souza pardon merits the same oversight by the current Republican Congress. Instead, they will sweep it under the rug.”

The Hill...
“Japanese prime minister: "We cannot accept" US tariffs on car imports hill.cm/TTGe8bT”
“Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says his country "cannot accept" potential U.S. auto import tariffs being considered by the Trump administration.
"It's hard for Japan to understand and we cannot accept it," Abe said in a session of the Japanese parliament, according to NPR.
Trump has instructed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross to investigate whether auto imports pose a national security risk to the U.S. The investigation lays the groundwork for the administration to use a law to raise tariffs up to 25 percent on imported auto parts and vehicles.
Abe, who is set to meet with Trump on June 7 in Washington, said he would make Japan's concerns known and called for trade discussions under World Trade Organization rules.
Automakers and free trade advocates in both countries are opposing the potential tariffs, warning they could wreak havoc on both countries' economies.
The U.S. is the largest market for Japanese car imports.
A new study says the tariffs could boost the U.S. auto sector by nearly 92,000 jobs, but would cost a total of 250,000 jobs across other industries in the country.”
Let’s see, a loss of 158,000 jokes. #MAGA

Really?
Well he certainly has a different idea of what I would consider as fun. Jerk.

While I agree with the general sentiment, her history is foggy. African-American men have had the legal right to vote since after the Civil War with the 14th amendment. It's been 53 years since the Voting Rights Act which actually enforced the right to vote, did not confer it. That's what she's referring to. Besides that, black people generally voted Republican (the party of Lincoln) before 1965. Soon after, Nixon's Southern Strategy turned Southern Democrats Republican, which in turn drove most black voters to the Democrats. So his history is way off, but hers isn't so accurate, either. F www.crf-usa.org/black-history-month/african-americans-and-the-15th-amendment"The Democrats realized they were fighting for political survival. They feared ratification of the 15th Amendment would automatically create some 170,000 loyal black Republican voters in the North and West. In debates over the amendment, Democrats argued against the ratification by claiming that the 15th Amendment restricted the states’ rights to run their own elections. The Democrats also charged the Republicans with breaking their promise of allowing the states, outside the South, to decide for themselves whether to grant black male suffrage. Democrat leaders cited the low level of literacy in the black population and they predicted black voters would be easily swayed by false promises and outright bribery." |

So it's been less than 55 years since black people were beaten by police in the streets while peacefully marching for voting equality.

The Hill...
“President Trump wants to impose a total ban on the imports of German luxury cars, according to a new report from CNBC and German magazine WirtschaftsWoche.
Several U.S. and European diplomats told the news outlets that Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron about his plans last month during a state visit.
Trump reportedly told Macron that he would maintain the ban until no Mercedes-Benz cars are seen on Fifth Avenue in New York.
Shares of Daimler, Porsche and Volkswagen were lower on Thursday, shortly after the weekly German business magazine published the report.”
Such a child. Such a petty child.

I seem to recall a photo of Martha Stewart flipping off a portrait of trump which leads me to assume she is not a fan. Can you reject a pardon? Like , no thanks, I'm good. Don't know why but it occurred to me and can almost see her doing so if there is no real advantageous reason to her at this point in her life. |

“While everyone is busy expressing their outrage at Samantha Bee’s comments, let’s not forget that more than 4,600 of our fellow citizens died in Puerto Rico in the worst disaster in modern American history.”
He has a point. Between Samantha Bee calling Ivanka a cunt and trump abusing his pardoning power this very important story is being overlooked.

And how many millions of tax paper dollars are wasted so trump can go to one of his properties just about every weekend?
How many millions of tax payer dollars will be spent on a military parade just to feed trump’s ego?

Either the reason for hospital stay was worse then presented and she is still recovering or she ihas had it with trump.

Can you imagine the outrage by the right if this came out about an Obama cabinet head? Fancy pens and journals at tax payer expense.
From the Washington Post...
“
The account manager at the Tiny Jewel Box, which calls itself Washington’s “premier destination for fine jewelry and watches,” had promised to expedite the order of a dozen customized silver fountain pens — each emblazoned with the seal of the Environmental Protection Agency and the signature of its leader, Scott Pruitt.
Now all that the EPA staff member working with the store needed was for a top Pruitt aide to sign off on the $3,230 order, which also included personalized journals.
“The cost of the Qty. 12 Fountain Pens will be around $1,560.00,” the staffer emailed Aug. 14 to Millan Hupp, Pruitt’s head of scheduling and advance and a trusted confidante dating to his Oklahoma days. “All the other items total cost is around $1,670.00 which these items are in process. Please advise.”
Yes, please order,” Hupp responded later that day. “Thank you.”

I'm going to keep retelling this story so it sinks in. In 1983 trump would not allow one of my staff engineers on board his yacht because he was black. We cancelled the contract and he tried to sue me for breech of contract. He lost.

“A federal study found signs that surveillance devices, called IMSI catchers often used by Chinese and Russian intel services, for intercepting cell phone calls and texts were operating near the W.H. and other sensitive locations in the D.C. area last year.”
&
“If the reports are true that Trump has been using an unsecured phone in the White House, I wonder what the potential national security implications could be from this finding.”
trump just made it easy for them that’s all.

“Trump’s latest judge nominee has built his career around attempts to disenfranchise minorities. Why won't Chuck Grassley allow Senators @kamalaharris and @corybooker to question him
Yes there is a video attached showing Grassely interrupting Harris and Booker.
My thinking any judge that needs to be confirmed should be able to handle the questioning from “the other side”. If he/she can’t handle a bunch of Senators questioning him/her then maybe they shouldn’t be selected/confirmed.

The NRA really has become a joke and bears no resemblance to what they once were before the 1970’s take over by radicals.
