Washington Post...
"Made in America week starts Monday at White House with a showcase of products from 50 states. Trump to sign Made in USA declaration on Wed."
The irony here is amazing. Of course it would be bad form to showcase trump goods but even if it wasn't they couldn't showcase trump goods because none are made in this country.
I guess this is a case of "Do what I say, not what I do.
🚫🚫 #MAGA!
I will add that if trump wasn't barricading himself in the White House because fragile ego can't handle protests against him, he would visit each of the 50 states and showcase homegrown products for that state.

Senator McCain...
"Thanks to @mayoclinic for its excellent care – I appreciate your support & look forward to getting back to work! mccain.senate.gov/public/index.c…"
While I'm glad Senator McCain and Congressman Steve Scalise are going to recover its rather ironic that these two men who are getting excellent health care that is paid for by their health care insurance are going to and have voted for a bill that will cause millions of Americans to lose their health care insurance.

From trump...
"Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent. That's politics!"
The take away from trump and company about this meeting is they honestly don't see anything wrong meeting with a representative of a foreign government that would not be considered as our BFF to get dirt on their opponents.

This is an interesting question/answer from the ABC Poll. But yet the Republicans and trump seem not to care. Q: Still on health care, which of these do you think is more important for the federal government to do: (provide health care coverage for low-income Americans), or (cut taxes)? Hide Results Detailed View Provide coverage for low-income Americans 63 % Cut taxes 27 (VOL) Both equally 8 (VOL) Neither 1 No opinion 2 Edited to add this op-ed by Greg Sargent from the Washington Post on why the Republicans just keep lying about their plan. link

linkFrom the article in America Progress "trump's budget is breaking his promises on manufacturing" "One of the reasons President Donald Trump won the election was his promise to bring back American manufacturing jobs. Indeed, just a few weeks ago, he told a group of manufacturing CEOs that “ringing manufacturing back to America , creating high-wage jobs was one of our campaign promises and themes, and it resonated with everybody.” President Trump’s recent budget proposal breaks that promise. It would defund the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, or MEP, which has been proven to help manufacturers create jobs. It would also defund the Economic Development Administration, or EDA, which helps communities affected by the disappearance of manufacturing jobs recover. And it would defund the programs that will enhance the future competitiveness of American manufacturing. Trump’s budget is yet another example of his betrayal of working families." My guess is tiny hands doesn't understand what these programs do. All he sees them as something to cut so he has money for tax cuts, building the wall, and beefing up the military. The jobs are only high paying jobs if they are not in right to work states. 🚫 #MAGA

linkBusiness Insider. "July 2016 Russia hired Internet trolls to pose as pro-trump Americans" trump jr's meeting was June 2016 and if this story is true that would mean a month later Russia started or increased the assault on our elections. Either trump and company were in on this or the Russians saw something they liked in the meeting. In either case we were screwed.

This is why trump doesn't "get" his actions will face scrutiny and repercussions as president. There has been discussions for sometime about if it was a good idea to arm these guys. trump has two meetings with Putin and poof.
Now we won't know if the decision was made because it made sense or because it was made because it's what Putin wanted.

Politico Playbook.....
"BUZZ: KARL ROVE told an off-the-record McDonald’s corporate conference Monday in D.C. that he would not have taken a meeting with Russian operatives, like Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner did. Rove told the crowd at the J.W. Marriott that if a campaign gets an email saying an agent of a foreign adversarial government wants to meet and pass on damaging information about an opponent, they shouldn’t take the meeting, and they should call the FBI. In a presidential campaign, Rove said, aides get lots of phone calls and emails offering tips on the opponent. Most should be routed through opposition researchers, and many are not worth the time."
I'm not a fan of Karl Rove but when he's right you got to acknowledge it.
