Can you even imagine working for and being a fierce supporter of someone who publicly, more than once, calls your husband a "stone cold loser?" Or if your spouse worked for someone who called you a loser? I would be so livid if my husband's boss called me a loser. What a weird relationship those two must have. I can't imagine what life is like around their dinner table. I can't imagine what the Cruz's life is like either. I'd show DH the door in double quick time if he supported anyone that said all the things about me that Trump said about Heidi Cruz that time. Right!!! It is completely mind boggling what those he has attacked so viciously allow him to continue to do so and/or now sing his praises. It HAS to be money, threats, or blackmail.
It's One reason why republicans attack democrats for speaking out and calling out that bullshit....we don't stand for it, it is wrong, needs to be stopped and the republicans would rather we sit down, shut up, and take it up the bum.

Jesus Christ, I can't believe we are talking about people associated with the highest office in the land this way. It's like we are all the victims of incessant mindfuckery. If someone had made a movie with a story line that was anywhere near all that has happened over the last 3 years, we'd all be sitting here now discussing how far fetched the story line was, how that would never ever happen in real life, no one would tell that many lies.....oh the list of quotes are endless but.....here we are with the reality!

Interesting.
From AP...
“US judge blocks oil, gas drilling over climate change”
From the article...
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A judge has blocked oil and gas drilling on almost 500 square miles (1,295 sq. kilometers) in Wyoming and says the government must consider the cumulative climate change impact of leasing broad swaths of U.S. public lands for oil and gas exploration.
The order marks the latest in a string of court rulings over the past decade — including one last month in Montana — that have faulted the U.S. for inadequate consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when issuing leases and permits for oil, gas or coal production.
But U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington, D.C., appeared to go a step further than judges have previously in his order issued late Tuesday.
Previous rulings focused on individual lease sales or permits. But Contreras said that when the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) auctions public lands for oil and gas leasing, officials must consider emissions from past, present and foreseeable future oil and gas leases nationwide.
“Given the national, cumulative nature of climate change, considering each individual drilling project in a vacuum deprives the agency and the public of the context necessary to evaluate oil and gas drilling on federal land,” Contreras wrote.
The ruling coincides with an aggressive push by President Donald Trump’s administration to open more public lands to energy development.
It came in a lawsuit that challenged leases issued in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado in 2015 and 2016, during President Barack Obama’s administration. Only the leases in Wyoming were immediately addressed in Contreras’ ruling, which blocks federal officials from issuing drilling permits until they conduct a new environmental review looking more closely at greenhouse gas emissions.
Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Kristen Lenhardt said the agency was still reviewing the ruling and “determining a path forward regarding the implications.”
The case was brought by two advocacy groups, WildEarth Guardians and Physicians for Social Responsibility.
WildEarth Guardians climate program director Jeremy Nichols predicted the ruling would have much bigger implications than a halt to drilling in some areas of Wyoming — assuming the government does what Contreras has asked.
“This is the Holy Grail ruling we’ve been after, especially with oil and gas,” said Jeremy Nichols, WildEarth Guardians climate program director. “It calls into question the legality of oil and gas leasing that’s happening everywhere.”
The BLM already does the correct analysis of greenhouse gas effects at the leasing stage, which changes once it knows whether and how many oil and gas wells might be drilled on leased land, an oil and gas industry group said.
“The judge is asking BLM to take a wild guess at how many wells would be developed on these leases,” said Kathleen Sgamma with the Western Energy Alliance.

”To be clear, GOP wins elections when they’re about ideas not when they’re personality contests like Dems & media want. We’re clearly better off because of @realdonaldtrump. His record of accomplishment is why he’ll win re-election especially when compared to Dems’ leftward lurch.”

”I just want to be clear.
Trump is attacking a deceased war hero.
Because the dead guy didn’t thank him for his funeral.
Which he couldn’t.
Because he’s dead.
But Trump approved the funeral.
Except he didn’t.
Congress did.”
I wondered who really approved the funeral. But you know, it’s all about trump.

Maggie Haberman...
”Trump has usually gotten a positive reception at his rallies when he has gone after McCain. But today, at an army tank plant in Lima where POTUS said a third of the workforce is comprised of veterans, there was a very quiet response.”
Someone responded...
”Everyone of them should have walked out when he started his hateful rant on McCain.”

Another one dropped on his head as a baby. Ryan, yes! But remember FOX News board will be paying him $300,000... I wondered who really approved the funeral. But you know, it’s all about trump. Congress approved the funeral and the use of the Rotunda, but dt sent the military plane to transport the family and his body. He also approved the horses and carriage. The National Cathedral approved its use.

I imagine that the Conway’s don’t have much of a marriage at this time. I wonder how things were between them before Trump? I would think it would be a deal breaker to have your boss talking about your husband like that, but I also think it would be a deal breaker if my spouse was a liar and avid supporter of Trump. Can’t imagine that it’s a good one, especially given what trump says, Kellyanne supports and has shared publicly that she doesn’t share her husband’s concerns. I’m sure it’s taking a toll—just look at her— ***Disclaimer I’M NOT MAKING FUN OF HER LOOKS**** She is looking so haggard, sallow coloring, her skin is gross, her hair is straw, her eyes are hollowed out and sunken in, and she always looks disheveled. Surely the job and/or marriage is taking its toll. How could it not be? She’s lasted way longer than any of the others. Longer than is healthy, for sure.

The trolls are winning, says Russian troll hunter www.pri.org/stories/2019-03-13/trolls-are-winning-says-russian-troll-hunter"Roaming the halls when she could — cameras were everywhere — Savchuk discovered the IRA was full of different “departments.” There was the “news division,” the "social media seeders", and a group dedicated to producing visual memes known as “demotivators.” Despite the division of labor, the content was remarkably uniform. The US, the EU, Ukraine’s pro-European government, and Russia’s opposition were regular targets for scorn. And then there was Russian President Vladimir Putin — seemingly no Russian triumph under his rule was too small to warrant a celebratory tweet, meme or post. “Each worker has a quota to fill every day and every night,” Savchuk says. “Because the factory works around the clock. It never stops. Not for a second.” "

A response..
”Opposing party always wins in mid-terms. Why would we take proposed budget seriously after Trump saved Obamacare after threatening to repeal it?”

linkRendon was petty and smug in his response by bragging about the additional Democratic seats CA picked up in the mid-term. But the idea that Pence thinks CA can work with DC “to build on our successes in the year ahead” is ludicrous. CA is against just about everything trump and company stands for. Newsweek... “ TOP CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT MOCKS PENCE, THANKS DONALD TRUMP ADMIN FOR HELPING ELECT MORE LIBERALS“ “A top California Democrat scoffed at Vice President Mike Pence’s offer to foster collaboration between the state and the federal government and thanked Pence for helping the state elect more Democratic officials. Pence sent California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon a letter on February 28 promoting greater ties between the state and federal government. "We value the opportunity to work with you to build on our successes in the year ahead," Pence's letter said. "We recognize that when California succeeds, America succeeds. To that end, please find enclosed contact information for your liaisons in key Federal agencies. We look forward to hearing from you and working together to strengthen the State of California and our Nation." Rendon responded this week with a letter that clearly elucidated his scorn at Pence's offer. He noted that Democrats gained five more seats in the 2018 election, giving them control of 60 seats out of a possible 80. One Republican assemblyman also announced in January that he would switch parties, citing President Trump as his motivation. "I would have to say you and the President have already done quite a bit to help us with that,” Rendon wrote to Pence. “Thanks to your policies, voters in California added five Democrats to the Assembly in the last election. In addition, one Republican has decided to jump to the Democratic Party, citing the President’s extreme positions. We now have a three-quarters majority—plus one." He took aim at Pence's appeal to federalism and collaboration with states, noting the frequent disagreements between California and the Trump administration. Rendon asked how the commitment to work with California aligned with the administration’s attempts to "prevent California from ensuring clean air," "prevent California from educating the children of immigrants" and "interfere with the health rights of women in our state." The speaker also corrected Pence's grammar and encouraged the vice president to increase the proportion of women and people of color listed as federal liaisons. Rendon ended the letter, "Our success is built on diversity." Rendon has previously taken aim at Trump. The day after Trump won the 2016 election, Rendon and Kevin de León, the California Senate president pro tempore, issued a statement vowing to resist efforts to alter progressive policies in California, according to the Los Angeles Times. California leaders have frequently faced off with the Trump administration. San Francisco Chronicle reported that the state has taken the administration to court 47 times in the last two years. Former Governor Jerry Brown frequently criticized the Trump administration over issues, including the federal government's plan to roll back EPA regulations and its policy toward climate change. Last month, when declaring the 46th lawsuit against the Trump administration, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra praised the state's legal record against the federal government, according to The Sacramento Bee. "If I were a baseball player, our batting average would be phenomenal," he said. "It’d be out of this world. I’d be a free agent making some good money." Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized that he wanted to collaborate with the Trump administration. "I don’t want to be a sparring partner with President Trump," he said. "We want to be a working partner, but he makes it all but impossible when he plays these games and manufactures a crisis and creates the conditions where we have no other choice but to sue the administration."
