Adam Schiff....
“[Putin] said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times. And I believe... I think he is very insulted by it.”
You know who else is insulted by it, Mr. President? The American people. You believe a foreign adversary over your own intelligence agencies.

LA Times... “Brett J. Talley, President Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Assn.’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing “Hillary Rotten Clinton” and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn. On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.” This is how low the GOP has sunk. And yes they will be dragging the rest of the country down to their level. Would those who keep telling us our complaints are just sour grapes because your side won like to come and defend this choice to approve this guy by the Republican controlled Senate Judiciary Committee? And of all the disastrous actions by this administration, this is the one that will have the most serious ramifications for our country...dozens of unqualified whack jobs in lifetime appointments.

Ben Rhodes..
“The President who divides at home and surrenders US leadership abroad believes Putin over our own intelligence community and said so (again) at an international summit. Why do people keep asking what Putin got out of this?”
The fact that trump believes Putin over our own intelligence is a major embarrassment to the United States and weakens our security.
Again I invite those on the right who accuse the left of a double standard when we voice our concerns about trump to come here and defend his words.

AND the reason there are so many judicial appointments for him to make is that the Senate let many positions go empty during Pres. Obama's term. So now we are stuck with all these political hacks and no balance for decades to come. This is unconscionable. Mitch McConnell is really a horrible person.

Does anyone else here follow Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on Facebook? She is always up to date on the happenings. The latest is that a bunch of Psychologists have written a letter to all members of Congress. Here is a piece of it if you aren't on FB. "Mr. Trump has far exceeded our usual threshold for detaining someone in order to evaluate for signs of danger. Just a few of these signs would be: verbal threats of violence, a history of sexual assault, incitement of violence, an attraction to violence and powerful weapons (the more powerful the weapons, the greater the temptation to use them), and the taunting of hostile nations with nuclear power. Traits that are highly associated with danger include: impulsivity, recklessness, paranoia (perceiving threats where they do not exist), loss of touch with reality (real consequences matter little), a lack of empathy (devastation to other people will not deter), feelings of worthlessness (for which violence can feel like a quick antidote), rage reactions, and a constant need to demonstrate power (a destructive war or use of weapons can counter an intolerable inner sense of weakness). These traits make one incapable of thinking rationally, and the usual deterrents, such as a nuclear holocaust or even the annihilation of humankind, will not likely deter someone who is preoccupied by internal needs." I had read that too—unfortunately it will be played off as “democrats are the enemy”

FiveThirtyEight....
“But if you were looking for a state where a Republican candidate could survive such a huge scandal, it would be hard to pick a better one than Alabama.”
Sorry peas who live in Alabama but I think they have a valid point. The ex-governor was embroiled in his own sex scandal, the State AG was going to investigate the allegations against the governor but ended up being appointed to the Senate once lying Jeff Sessions was appointed trump’s AG.

From AP....
“BREAKING: Senate leader Mitch McConnell says he believes women who have accused Roy Moore of inappropriate sexual contact, says Moore "should step aside."
My guess is old Mitch doesn’t really believe the women but based on the current mood surrounding sexual harassment of any type he is willing to throw Moore under the bus to protect his majority in the Senate.

EJ Dionne....
"Ignore the spin. #Trump and the GOP have made a devil’s bargain with Roy Moore." @theplumlinegs Rule 1: Ungrounded charges against Democrats are to be believed immediately. Rule 2: Well-founded charges against Republicans are politically motivated.“
Yup.

Newsweek....
“Questionable crowd-size claims now run in the Trump family.
Ivanka Trump on Monday said she drew rock star–sized crowds bursting with support for her father's White House during her recent trip to Japan — even though reports of the appearance said there was such a low turnout that ushers scrambled to fill empty front-row seats.”
To be that insecure.

AP..... “US stocks deliver strong gains one year after Trump's election. apne.ws/dW478Wv” This is based solely on trump /GOP promises of tax cuts and trump keeping his promise to roll back regulations. While it great for my 401(k) how does this translate into US jobs when businesses are investing in technology and increasing their presence outside the US so the can compete in the global market? Neither of which is going away. I just sold all of my stocks last week and did a happy dance that I got out at the top of the market, before it crashes. I may be really wrong but I see a big crash coming when reality sets in.

NY Times....
“WASHINGTON — One of President Trump’s most controversial judicial nominees did not disclose on publicly available congressional documents that he is married to a senior lawyer in the White House Counsel’s Office.
The nominee, Brett J. Talley, is awaiting a Senate confirmation vote that could come as early as Monday to become a federal district judge in Alabama. He is married to Ann Donaldson, the chief of staff to the White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II.
Mr. Talley was asked on his publicly released Senate questionnaire to identify family members and others who are “likely to present potential conflicts of interest.” He did not mention his wife.”
While this “oversight” may not be illegal or even unethical one has to wonder why he didn’t mention the fact his wife worked at the White House. It’s not something, I would think, that a spouse would forget.
To those on this board who think the government is corrupt you may want to pay attention because we ARE seeing first hand the corruption of our government by the current administration.

I Ivanka, the problem is that NY and NJ have an issue with the property tax deduction, lack there of! There are a few more states also. www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/11/senate_republican_tax_bill_delivers_even_bigger_bl.html New Jersey, for example sends $3,478 per person more to Washington than it gets back, more than any other state, according to a study by the State University of New York's Rockefeller Institute of Government. ********** Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch said on the Senate floor that the tax bill would provide a much needed boost to the economy. "We are listening to those calling out for relief," said Hatch, R-Utah, whose state gets $256 per person more from the federal government than its residents pay in taxes.

president “I got your back” trump...
“Happy to announce, I am nominating Alex Azar to be the next HHS Secretary. He will be a star for better healthcare and lower drug prices
He is the CEO of Lilly & Co. Which just happens to be a pharmaceutical company. Just the person you want to negotiate lower drug prices which was one of trump’s campaign promises.

just when I think the cronyism and conflicts of interest can't POSSIBLY get any worse. Wouldn't he have to step down from the CEO position to take a Cabinet position? or is that no longer required??

All hell broke lose when First Lady Hillary Clinton worked with members of Congress on health care reform.
