The Lewandowski Hearing has started. Ten minutes in, my take:
Doug Collins is a total ass.
Lewandowski is stonewalling, and is a "dictator fuck faces" puppet.
There are way too many WH lawyers with him
This is the most corrupt, soul less collection of Republicans gathered together

trump...
”Just departed New Mexico for California, where we are delivering results!”
So he has this little video attached to the tweet taking credit for jobs created in this state along with the lower unemployment rate. That in reality he had nothing to do with. I would love to sit down with him and ask him specifically, with examples, of how he is responsible for these jobs.
Watching the news and the idiot just landed.

Does anyone wonder what Lewendowski must have been threatened with by the White House/Trump to keep him from answering with anything but the WH party line?

His brazen assholian responses make me sick.
I FUCKING HATE THIS ADMINISTRATION.
The committee MUST hold him in contempt. Executive privilege does not apply to him.
God God. They are moving our government into authoritarian and fascist rule right before our eyes.
This is killing me.

So the White House tweeted this and trump retweeted it...
”John Adams called the drafting of the Constitution—the bedrock of the rule of law for our Nation—"the greatest single effort of national deliberation that the world has ever seen."
Happy #ConstitutionDay! 45.wh.gov/RNWaaW”
I wonder if dimwit donnie has even seen a copy of the Constitution? I know if he has, he certainly hadn’t read it.

trump’s motorcade did go by the protesters. What is not clear is if the balloons were deployed.
The fundraiser is at the home at some past CEO of Sun Micro Systems.
No phones allowed inside the house. That means no leaked video tapes. Rats.

I posted earlier that Greta Thunberg when standing in front of the White House and asked if she wanted to meet trump. Her answer was no, she didn’t want to meet with people who don’t accept the science.
But she met with this guy.
President Obama
“At just 16 years old, Greta Thunberg is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates. Her age might have something to do with it. With full knowledge that her generation will bear the heaviest burden of climate change, she’s unafraid to believe that progress is possible—and fight for real change. She’s an example of why Michelle and I started the Obama Foundation — because we believe in a future that’s shaped by the courage and hope of young people like Greta.”

The revocation has long been expected as part of Trump’s effort to roll back former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which mandates that automakers double the fuel economy of all new cars and light trucks. However, sources familiar with the decision told the Times that this is the only confirmed change as Trump’s policymakers have struggled to find legal and scientific justification for the full overhaul.
The federal government has sanctioned California’s waiver for nearly 50 years, and 13 other states also follow California’s car pollution standards. In June, Canada ended two decades of aligning itself with U.S. fuel standards and signed on to California’s rules.
Mostly nothing to do with Obama!!

Is this about his revocation of California’s higher vehicle emission standards? Hopefully to be thrown out (and heavily stomped upon) in court. Why? Why? WHY?? Why is he so damn determined to needlessly hurt people?

Build that wall you fool! Trump border wall may damage archeological sites: report President Trump's efforts to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border could damage 22 archaeological sites currently supervised by the National Park Service (NPS), according to reporting by The Washington Post. A 123-page internal NPS memo from July found that expanding an existing fence near Arizona’s Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument could harm artifacts from ancient Sonoran Desert peoples.It noted previous research that found archaeological sites “likely will be wholly or partially destroyed by forthcoming border fence construction.” Construction has already begun on converting a 5-foot vehicle barrier to the 30-foot-high border wall envisioned by Trump. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has sought to build at a quick pace in order to keep up with Trump’s campaign pledge of completing 500 miles of wall before the 2020 election. But at risk in the process are a number of well preserved pre-Colombian artifacts left in what used to be a well-traveled trade route that passes along a spring and wetlands that provide important habitat for area species. “We’ve historically lived in this area from time immemorial,” Tohono O’odham Nation Chairman Ned Norris Jr. told the Post. “We feel very strongly that this particular wall will desecrate this area forever. I would compare it to building a wall over your parents’ graveyards. It would have the same effect.” According to the Post, the Department of Homeland Security has relied on a 2005 law to waive numerous federal requirements that could have been used to slow or stop construction, including those in the Endangered Species Act as well as the Archeological Resources Protection Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.** more at link: thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/461783-trump-border-wall-may-damage-archeological-sites-report

MSNBC..
“Trump says homelessness hurting real estate prestige, will destroy cities”
The homeless are living in "our best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to building," Trump said.
“President Donald Trump renewed his complaints about homelessness Tuesday during a swing through California, talking about the harm it does to taxpayers seeking prestigious real estate and warning that cities will "destroy themselves" if his administration doesn’t intervene.
The homeless are living in "our best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to building," Trump told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One with him to a string of fundraisers in California. "People in those buildings pay tremendous taxes where they went to those locations because of the prestige.”
”Trump went on to say he has been talking to "foreign people, foreign tenants" in California who want to leave the country because of the homeless problem. Trump has been increasingly raising concern about homelessness, and said the White House would be taking some sort of action soon.
"In many cases they came from other countries and they moved to Los Angeles or they moved to San Francisco because of the prestige of the city, and all of a sudden they have tents," Trump said. "Hundreds and hundreds of tents and people living at the entrance to their office building. And they want to leave. And the people of San Francisco are fed up, and the people of Los Angeles are fed up. And we’re looking at it, and we’ll be doing something about it."
Trump’s administration sent officials earlier this month to California to look into the problem there, but it is unclear how much the federal government can do on an issue that is mostly the responsibility of state and local governments and law enforcement. Trump said he has been taking to Ben Carson, the secretary of Housing and Urban Development, about potential solutions.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, asked Trump on Monday to approve more housing vouchers through two existing programs and to increase the value of the vouchers to help people cope with rising rents.”
Ah the real reason trump wants to end homelessness and it’s not to find some way to get these folks the help they need. And the only people he’s talking to are in his head.

Well, when the newest residential building in the city has used “great restraint”, due to the current market, and priced it’s LOWEST apartment at 6.5 million. Restraint? Oh, yeah, a 6.5 million $ apartment is really slumming it. ( it’s a butt ugly building anyway )
When “affordable” housing is $1700/month people are going to be homeless that’s just a fact.

Does anyone wonder what Lewendowski must have been threatened with by the White House/Trump to keep him from answering with anything but the WH party line? He's such a dolt to begin with, I'm not sure that he had to be threatened!!! He followed and helped this campaign even after he was fired!!!! He stayed around, and did anything he could to "help".
He had that fucking haughty/bully face. I swear, I've never been angry enough to want to be violent, but I wanted to punch him in the face!!! He has NOTHING to do with this government or the President, so, why isn't he free to speak? He acted like he did his duty in speaking to Mueller and others in the past (20 hours, I believe??). BIG.DEAL. Baby!!!!
This wasn't an "invitation". You're there to give information, so, speak up. Instead, he deferred, referred to his stupid piece of paper saying that he really couldn't say much of anything, he looked lost/stupid/angry........ I suppose that was his wife (blonde) behind him. Unreal, how utterly stupid these people seem to be!!! Take the suit off of him and he'd fit right in around here. Moron!

Vanity Fair..
“White House Describes Saudi Oil Attack as “Their 9/11”
Not even close.
Reuters..
“Saudi Arabia promises concrete proof Iran behind oil strikes ”
A random response. “Just like to they had proof they had nothing to do with Jamal Kashoggi?”
Iran is certainly isn’t a saint, but neither is Saudi Arabia so who knows what the truth is.
But whatever it is, it’s no concern of the US. So if those two countries decide to go head to head, the US had better be sitting on the sidelines.
