Ireland Prime Minister says protests are 'allowed' and 'welcome' for Trump's visitBY OWEN DAUGHERTY - 05/16/19 10:54 PM EDT Ireland's Prime Minister said President Trump will be welcomed to the country when he visits next month, but so will protests against his visit. Leo Varadkar, Ireland's Taoiseach, said Thursday that protest “is allowed and is welcomed” when Trump makes his first visit to Ireland as president in June for an event in Dublin, according to the Irish Times. “I’d say to them, this is a democracy and peaceful protest is part of democracy,” Varadkar said when asked what he would say to citizens planning protests for Trump’s visit. “And I would certainly never criticize anyone for taking part in a protest if that’s the way they wish to express their views.” Trump is expected to arrive in Ireland on June 5th for his first visit since taking office. Ireland will be a middle stop between three days in the United Kingdom and before traveling to Normandy to commemorate the WWII battle site. Varadkar noted that Trump is welcome in the country during his trip. “But you know, as has been the case always in the past, the President of the United States is welcome in Ireland,” he said. “And I believe it’s important that we should respect the office even if people have particular views about the current incumbent.” The Irish Times reported that Irish officials are currently trying to organize a meeting between Trump and Varadkar. Trump’s original visit to Ireland scheduled for last November was canceled, though no reason was given. Protests were also expected if that visit occurred. Trump is expected to use his golf resort in Ireland as a base during his stay. thehill.com/homenews/administration/444202-ireland-prime-minister-says-protest-is-allowed-and-is-welcome-forYAY Ireland!!

This is so sad—
"Farmers are in the midst of six consecutive years of falling commodity prices and depressed farm income," Perdue told Newsweek Thursday. "In that time we've definitely heard increased concern from our membership, and other organizations have as well, related to folks in their community not doing well in terms of their mental health."

"In that time we've definitely heard increased concern from our membership, and other organizations have as well, related to folks in their community not doing well in terms of their mental health." My husband talked to our crop insurance agent this week to verify some aspects of our coverage that may kick in this year and during the course of that conversation he said that he was very concerned about a few of his clients and their mental stability. He is and older gentleman, nearing retirement himself, and said that he had never thought that before despite living through many ups and downs in the ag world. I think it would be different if we were *just* facing a year of unprecedented weather, which you can certainly hope would turn. But when you are loading that on top of an industry that the president is using as a pawn in his own insane game, it feels hopeless most days.

The whole reason behind the current abortion push, BTW. Whether Roe gets overturned or not, keeping this issue at the forefront reminds gullible voters that even though the GOP is tearing your house down, 'leftists' want to kill the babeeeeeeez, so you can't vote for them.

”My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!”
Jon Cryer...
“The President’s campaign was populated with criminals at its highest levels.
Here’s the President accusing the federal investigators who uncovered that fact with a crime that is punishable by death.
Tell me again how he’s not a wannabe tyrant.”

EPA covers for Pruitt yet again!! ** Lawmakers are blasting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for refusing to hold former agency head Scott Pruitt accountable for $124,000 in extravagant travel expenses.Democrats on Capitol Hill Thursday criticized EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler for deciding against asking his predecessor to pay back thousands in what they said were excessive and unjustified travel costs during his time heading the agency. “Mr. Pruitt’s lavish tastes, and his use of taxpayer money to finance them, have become a punchline. But this isn’t a joke, and the Trump administration should take it seriously and take responsibility,” U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.), who had called for an Office of Inspector General's (OIG) investigation into Pruitt’s questionable flying habits, wrote in a statement. The EPA’s OIG released a report Thursday that said Pruitt and his staff had overspent nearly $124,000 on “excessive” first class travel over the course of ten months in 2017. The government watchdog recommended the EPA request Pruitt pay back his share of costs. “Yet Administrator Wheeler’s EPA rushed to defend Mr. Pruitt’s indefensible conduct following the release of this report – and the report itself indicates Administrator Wheeler’s team retroactively approved Mr. Pruitt’s travel, a de facto pardon of this unacceptable abuse of taxpayer money," Udall said. ** thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/444129-lawmakers-take-epa-head-to-task-for-refusing-to-demand-pruitt-repayScott Pruitt. The gift that keeps on giving. What’s that? He’s now a consultant to the coal industry. Shocker.

”It now seems the General Flynn was under investigation long before was common knowledge. It would have been impossible for me to know this but, if that was the case, and with me being one of two people who would become president, why was I not told so that I could make a change?”
President Obama told him not to hire Flynn. But when it’s trump it’s always someone else’s fault. Man can’t take responsibility for his own actions.

We saw an interview with a farmer from Ohio who was very solemnly describing how dire the situation is for his family... doesn’t foresee how they will survive this and not lose the family farm. But before the end of the interview when questioned if he would still support Trump in 2020, he said he would have to wait and see who the candidates were to be able to pick the best one 🤦🏻♀️. We about fell out of our seats yesterday when we finally saw an interview with a farmer who called out this fuckery for what it is and said he would not support Trump in 2020. Part of me really wants to track that guy down and thank him for showing that we are not all a bunch of idiots willing to pick party over our own families’ survival.

I really hope the farmers here (many of whom are soybean farmers being hurt directly by Trumps tariffs) will speak with their votes. I have some hope. It was the farmers that drove the vote for the democratic senators we had for many many years until they retired. Well, that and they were a actually decent people and senators.

linkIn the linked article are the newly found tapes of “John Barron” a person who more then a few are saying is actually trump. This character gives phone interviews building up trump. Listen to the video and tell me that isn’t trump. And its odd that John Barron last name is the same as trump’s youngest son.

Stephen Miller strikes again......... Well almost!! White House senior adviser Stephen Miller’s attempt to engineer a second shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security was blocked this week by acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan, who later threatened to resign unless he was given more control over the agency.Administration officials told The Washington Post that the closed-door clash revolved around Mark Morgan, a former FBI agent who is President Trump’s pick to be the new director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Miller Wednesday reportedly urged the president to put Morgan atop the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) instead. McAleenan told acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and others the next day that he was in charge of the department and would make or should at least be involved in DHS personnel decisions. The DHS acting secretary prevailed and ensured Morgan will take his role atop ICE as planned. Matthew Albence, the current acting director whom Miller wanted to lead ICE, will return to his job as deputy director. “This was a power struggle between McAleenan and Miller, and McAleenan won,” one senior official with knowledge of the situation told The Post. ** Miller engineered a shakeup at DHS last month that led to the ouster of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and the previous acting ICE director, Ronald Vitiello, among others. Miller, a well-known immigration hawk, reportedly urged Trump to form a team that will more aggressively execute his policies at the border. Nielsen and Vitiello before the shakeup had reportedly challenged a plan by Miller to carry out mass arrests of women and children eligible for deportation in 10 cities. Officials told The Post that Miller told colleagues he would support McAleenan following his nomination. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/444372-acting-dhs-secretary-threatened-to-quit-after-clashing-with-miller

John Cornyn...
”House Ds took serious issues and passed partisan messaging versions, as you know, or pretended to solve non-existent problems. For example, there is no threat to coverage for pre-existing conditions. We all agree they should be covered. No sincere effort to build consensus.”
Yea so where is the Republicans plan? They have had years to come up with one.

Source: CNN Farmer done with dt.... video AmandaA sassyangel papercrafteradvocate Speaking about farmers.... several people mentioned this last night (Wednesday) about the subsidies, the millions of dollars for the farmers. There is a pair of brothers, Battista is their name, who live in Argentina. I think they are Argentinian(?) maybe. They have committed Crimes and cannot come here to the US. They own thousands of acres of farmland. They were paid $62 MILLION in subsidies. The person speaking said the $$$ should be for American family farmers, not the hugh conglomerates ... Wish I could find it in writing or remember who was talking about it.....

Pelosi does long-game thinking
" Speaker Nancy Pelosi racheted up the pressure this week when, faced with a 12-page letter from the White House counsel saying Congress had no "legislative purpose" in its investigations, shot back that the purpose could, in fact, be for impeaching the president.
"We hope we don't have to do that," Pelosi said. "We want to see what we can get respectfully. First, we ask. Then we subpoena friendly. Then we subpoena otherwise. And then we see what we get."
Democrats say they're not ready to impeach the president. But opening an impeachment inquiry would provide legal weight to their investigations that would be tougher for the administration to ignore. Already, a judge indicated last week Congress may have a right to review some of Trump's financial documents. As Trump instructs his White House to reject the requests from Congress, more legal battles are coming."

MSNBC: Rep Justin Amash ( R-MI) President Trump has engaged in actions, behaviors that meet impeachment thresholds. He stands alone as a GOP speaker. Marches to his own drummer. It is a break in ranks....... ETA: A Michigan Republican and member of the House Freedom Caucus broke with his party Saturday in a rare series of tweets accusing President Trump of "impeachable conduct."
Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) tweeted Saturday that the president's actions to potentially obstruct the now-shuttered special counsel investigation warrant impeachment by the House. He also accused Attorney General William Barr of "deliberately misrepresenting" Robert Mueller's report of the investigation's findings. "Here are my principal conclusions: 1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report. 2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. 3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances. 4. Few members of Congress have read the report," Amash wrote Saturday afternoon. "Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," the Michigan Republican continued. "Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence."
