I was an independent. Donald Trump made me a Democrat. I was a voter. Donald Trump made me an activist. I was complacent. Donald Trump made me furious. I am not alone. And we’re coming for you in 2018, @gop.

Maddow Blog....
“What Republicans are doing is working their way down the list of witnesses that Mueller could call in an obstruction of justice case against Trump and trying to destroy their reputations. And if they destroy the FBI in the process, sobeit.”
Yes from the dreaded Rachel Maddow, but she may be on to something. The very men the GOP in Congress are trying to discredit are the ones Comey told what was said in his meetings with trump. It true it just shows you how low the GOP has sunk.

Newsweek....
“former U.S Marine who was charged on Friday for planning a terror attack in San Francisco on Christmas Day said President Donald Trump’s decision to name Jerusalem as the capital city was his motive for the attack.
Everitt Aaron Jameson, who converted to Islam after being discharged, left behind a note that said Trump’s controversial decision was his motive to plan the attack according to court documents, The Hill reported.
Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and recognize that city as Israel's capital sparked a violent backlash in the Middle East. Palestinian leaders also claim that Jerusalem is their rightful capital.”

Why doesn’t Congress play by the same rules when it comes to sexual harassment?BY ROSALIND HERENDEEN, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 12/23/17 01:00 PM EST
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL
Imagine if people accused of sexual harassment got to choose whether they would face consequences for their misconduct, and that victims would be prohibited from discussing their experiences with anyone outside their immediate family. Unfortunately, to the detriment of countless victims, this has been the precise system for addressing allegations of sexual harassment in Congress for the past 20 years. As an employment lawyer who has represented victims of harassment, including victims on Capitol Hill, I have seen how these policies and procedures — which Congress established to police itself when it comes to workplace harassment — are unsurprisingly largely self-serving and do little to empower victims. More at link: thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/366288-why-doesnt-congress-play-by-the-same-rules-when-it-comes-to-sexualBecause........... The same way they don't play by the same rules for health care at our expense. They get the best, some of us get NONE!

Dem lawmaker: Getting targeted by Trump will soon be 'a badge of honor'BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 12/23/17 05:50 PM EST Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) defended FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe against an attack from President Trump on Saturday, saying being targeted by the president will soon be a badge of honor. "Like being on Nixon’s enemies list, being targeted by this wholly unfit President will soon be a badge of honor," Himes tweeted.

— Jim Himes (@jahimes) December 23, 2017Himes called McCabe a "good" man in a separate tweet, saying he has never used his office to act politically while accusing Trump of "shaming the Oval Office." "Andrew McCabe is a good and decent man who devoted his career to keeping Americans safe. He in no way acted politically. You are shaming the Oval Office," he said.

BY JOSH DELK - 12/23/17 06:24 PM EST Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) warned the FBI on Saturday against removing top officials, including deputy director Andrew McCabe, over criticism from President Trump. "FBI would set a dangerous precedent if it forced out dedicated career public servants in capitulation to Trump and WH pressure," tweeted Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. "President has already removed one top FBI leader — Comey — over Russia; McCabe would be another," Schiff added.

There is an organization called “Women Vote trump”. And whoever heads this little group out of Georgia took exception to some folks donating to an FBI Association in trump’s name. So this person suggested that folks should donate to this organization in the name of the guy who donated to FBI in trump’s name. Curious I looked at the attachment and found this donation letter. This is some letter. “Dear Fellow (Winning) Patriot: Still need a Christmas present for that pesky lefty friend or family member? Want to let Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren or a Hollywood actress know that you are thinking of her during this wonderful Christmas time? Give the gift of infamy! Donate to Women Vote Trump in their name! Now that Tax Reform has passed and we are WINNING big time -- What better way to annoy your favorite leftist or frenemy than to make a donation to Women Vote Trump – IN THEIR NAME! And of course, the bigger the donation, the more infuriating it is to them .  Mila Kunis donated to Planned Parenthood in Vice President Mike Pence’s name. Now you can donate to us in her name! Or maybe your favorite Trump-hater. Or Harvey Weinstein. Or Al Franken. Maybe Nancy Pelosi? And what fun would it be if we tell them all about it and link their name with President Trump for everyone to see? Give us the name of your honoree in the donation form, and we will gleefully message them publicly and post it all over social media. Or if you’d prefer, we will send you a beautiful e-card featuring President Trump so you can have the satisfaction of wishing them a ‘Merry Christmas and a MAGA New Year” yourself. Here are more ideas: The cousin who attended the ‘Women’s March’ The aunt who ruined Thanksgiving with her non-stop “Impeach Trump” rant The friend who stopped talking to you after the election last year because you voted for ‘that idiot’ even after you took care of her sick dog Just donate any amount - $10, $25, $50 . But if you really want to annoy them, make it $100, $250 or even $500. Remember, the bigger the donation, the more maddening it is to them. Just choose the level of irritation you are shooting for: Mildly bothersome $10 Kind of aggravating $25 Pretty annoying $50 Really maddening $ 100 Full on exasperation $ 500 Head exploding fury $1,000 Other Come on – you know you want to donate to our work supporting candidates who support President Trump and the MAGA agenda . Now you can do that AND get back at a values-challenged lefty at the same time. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! To MAIL a donation via USPS to our headquarters, please send to : Women Vote Trump PO Box 72861 Marietta, GA 30007 In Liberty, The Women for Trump Team” |

linkAP News.... “BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — U.S. officials have approved a 60-million ton expansion of a southeastern Montana coal mine that serves one of the largest power plants in the western United States, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s office said Friday. The approval will extend the life of Westmoreland Coal Company’s Rosebud Mine by 19 years and adds 10.5 square miles (27 square kilometers) to the 40-square-mile (104-square kilometer) strip mine, Zinke spokeswoman Heather Swift said. The move comes as Westmoreland has seen its stock price plummet over the past year, prompting speculation the Englewood, Colorado-based company could be headed for bankruptcy.” There you go trash the countryside to extend the life of some plant in a dying industry. Stupidity at its best. 🚫 #MAGA Elections have consequences.

linkAnd as they say here is the rest of the story.... Chicago Tribune.... AT&T, which is giving $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 employees in the wake of the Republican tax overhaul, is also handing out hundreds of pink slips to workers in Illinois and five other Midwest states.About 600 workers across a variety of positions, from retail sales clerks to satellite technicians, were notified of the layoffs last week, according to sources close to the situation. AT&T’s holiday gift to those 600 workers..... Ho ho ho! That $1,000 bonus was an attempt to curry favor with the trump administration for the merger with Time Warner..

Speaking of Mueller! Things seem to be looking up a bit, but of course there are still those in Congress who say heshouldgo! Most Americans doubt Trump on Russia probe, while Mueller approval tilts positiveBy Ryan Struyk, CNN Updated 9:02 PM ET, Sat December 23, 2017 (CNN)More Americans say they approve of how special counsel Robert Mueller is handling the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election than say they disapprove, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS has found, while most Americans say President Donald Trump's public statements on the probe have not been truthful. Nearly half of Americans, 47%, say they approve of Mueller's handling of the probe into Russia's involvement in the presidential race and the possibility of collusion with the Trump campaign, which recently struck a plea deal with former national security adviser Michael Flynn. One third of Americans, 34%, say they disapprove. Nearly 1 in 5 people, 19%, are undecided on Mueller's work so far.

Newsweek.... “The percentage of U.S. adults who fear terrorist attacks in President Donald Trump’s America has reached one of the highest levels since 9/11, a poll released on Friday shows. Asked whether they believe there will be more acts of terrorism in the U.S. over the next several weeks, 70 percent of respondents said it was "likely," with 28 percent saying “very likely” and 42 percent answering “somewhat likely,” according to a CNN poll conducted by market research firm SSRS from December 14 to 17.” Gee why aren’t I surprised? link |

“WOW, @foxandfrlends “Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.” And they used this Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!”
Its so reassuring that the President of the United States gets his information from Fox & Friends.
Problem is the dossier, unless proven true or false, is but one tiny piece of the Special Council ‘s investigation. So no, the FBI isn’t tainted.

linkThis could be the tip of what trump is hiding..... From Newsweek. DONALD TRUMP’S DARK RUSSIAN SECRET HIDING IN DEUTSCHE BANK’S VAULTS? “It sounded like an exhausted parent scolding a tantrum-prone toddler with a penchant for tossing toys from his stroller. In November 2008, Steven Molo, an attorney for Deutsche Bank, wrote a letter to the Supreme Court of New York about one of the company’s most troublesome clients. At issue was $640 million that client had borrowed in 2005 to fund construction of a new hotel in Chicago. The client had personally guaranteed the loan, but a few years later, the Great Recession devastated the economy, and he defaulted on his payment, with $330 million outstanding. Deutsche was seeking an immediate $40 million from the client, plus interest, legal fees and costs. The debtor in question: Donald Trump, the future president of the United States.”

Frida Ghitis...
“Stop calling Mar-a-Lago the “Winter White House.” (You too, @cnn ).
That is a deceptive Trump branding effort. Mar-a-Lago is a for-profit business owned and promoted by Trump. It is not govt-owned and it is primarily a vacation resort, whose dues T doubled when he took office”
In the big scheme of trump world this is minor but still so very true.

But Britain’s relations with Trump’s White House have sunk to their lowest ebb since his election last year. The property billionaire does not hide his loathing of Mr Obama and is expected to be enraged if his predecessor gets the coveted call up when he won’t.” If the story is true it seems the happy couple are being pressured not to invite The Obama’s to the royal wedding because president tiny hands will become enraged because he won’t be there. Well this is one American who thinks The Obama’s should be invited first because it’s their wedding and they should be able to invite who they want and second because I want trump to become “enraged” when he realizes that he really is “rich white trash” and even becoming president of one of the greatest countries in the world is not going to change that.

Newsweek...
“A former manager for President Donald Trump’s campaign has defended Trump’s tweets attacking the FBI and its top officials, calling them an “insurance policy” against bias.
"The president's tweets are an insurance policy for the American people to make sure that its leading law enforcement organization remains unbiased," the campaign manager Michael Caputo told CNN on Tuesday.
The comments come as Trump, his team, and conservative news anchors attempt to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director whose team is investigating potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to help Trump win the 2016 election. Trump also has lashed out the FBI more generally, saying the bureau's reputation is "in tatters," and personally attacked former FBI Director James Comey, current Director Christopher Wray, and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.”
Yea right.
