Steve Dwoskin... “Trump just sent out an email to fundraise off of the shutdown. He titled it Democrats CAVED. Well, I'd bet he just made sure that the Democrats will never give an inch ever again. Good luck getting his agenda passed now or especially after the midterms.

Republicans Start To Notice Trump 'Is Not A Fair Broker' By John Amato 1/21/18 4:43pm ************* Now comes the good part. "Because of the fact that President Trump takes different positions on the same day and is not a fair broker when it comes to negotiations. He often changes his mind. Doesn't remember what he said or changes his mind about what he said and changes positions and it's making people on the hill very nervous right now that they are having a one on one discussion," Stoddard said. Sounds like some people on the Hill are worried about Trump's mental capabilities in dealing with complex government negotiations on legislation. And it's not Democrats that are making these claims to a reputable journalist. It's Republicans. Trump already proved to Democrats he's not to be trusted when he blew up the real bipartisan negotiation which I'm dubbing "Shithole Thursday." Now Republicans are admitting the same thing. Are you ready for Trump, year two? crooksandliars.com/2018/01/capitol-hill-trump-not-fair-broker-when-it?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=idealmedia&utm_campaign=crooksandliars.com&utm_term=68739&utm_content=2179120If only!!

Paul Ryan Collected $500,000 In Koch Contributions Days After House Passed Tax LawThat’s peanuts compared with what the Koch brothers will save. By Mary Papenfuss 01/20/2018 Just days after the House passed its version of the federal tax law slashing corporate tax rates, House Speaker Paul Ryan collected nearly $500,000 in campaign contributions from billionaire energy mogul Charles Koch and his wife, according to a recent campaign donor report. Koch and his brother David spent millions of dollars to get the tax law passed and are spending millions more in a public relations campaign in an attempt to boost support for the law, The Wall Street Journal reported. “It looks like House Speaker Ryan is quickly being rewarded for passing this legislation that overwhelmingly benefits the Kochs and billionaires like them,” Adam Smith, spokesman for campaign finance reform nonprofit Every Voice, told the International Business Times, which first reported the Koch contributions. More at link: www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/koch-paysout-to-ryan-after-taxlaw_us_5a63ce41e4b0dc592a09697c?ncid=tweetlnkushpmg00000016§ion=politics&__twitter_impression=true That disgusts me.

In contract law, one of the most frustrating and unrewarding situations to get into is trying to enforce an agreement to agree. Just saying. Pfft.

Didn't McConnell screw her over on the tax bill vote? He promised something regarding Medicaid to be attached in exchange for her yes vote and reneged.?

Maddow Blog... “Why can't Jared Kushner get a security clearance after a year of trying? And why are they still allowing him to see the PDB?” A comment and a question. 1. Old Jared after a year still doesn’t have a permanent security clearance. 2. Since Jared doesn’t have a permanent security how is it he gets a copy of the President’s Daily Briefing? New Yorker Mag “Jared Kushner is China’s trump card.” This article lays out why maybe Kushner shouldn’t be in the White Hiuse and certainly shouldn’t be getting the PDB.

WHEN DOES HE STOP?!?!?!?!?! Trump used accent to imitate India's prime minister: reportBY AVERY ANAPOL - 01/22/18 10:13 AM EST President Trump reportedly uses an accent to imitate Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Senior administration officials told The Washington Post that Trump has been known to “affect an Indian accent” to quote Modi, who last year condemned U.S. activity in Afghanistan during a private meeting with Trump. “Never has a country given so much away for so little in return,” Modi said at the time. The U.S. Army is currently preparing to increase its presence in Afghanistan by as many as 1,000 more troops, according to the Post. Trump has already added at least 5,500 service members since taking office. The Post's report about Trump using an accent to imitate Modi comes on the tails of his reported “shithole countries” remark during a private meeting with lawmakers to refer to immigration from Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations.At an event honoring Native American Code Talkers in November, Trump referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as “Pocahontas,” which many consider to be a racial slur, to refer to her claimed Native American heritage.thehill.com/homenews/administration/370076-trump-known-to-use-indian-accent-to-imitate-indias-prime-ministerI do not understand how he thinks this is a good idea?!

No way. I bet there are minimal intellectual responses, so not quite sure if Kushner is really getting an advantage.

And in the trump administration 14 people beside trump get the PDB and Kushner is one of them.

Oh, waaaaaah. I was fine w/Trump when I thought he was only going to screw OTHER people. I'm happy to see some Trump voters come to their senses. It's unfortunate that it has to be because of a difficult situation. And unfortunately he doesn't give a crap about these people because they are useless to him. More and more Americans will see this truth as the days go on.

And then there is this from CREW (citizens for Ethics)
“President Trump is accused of paying $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels to hide an affair a month before the election. In what is probably just a coincidence, the Trump campaign transferred $130K to the Trump businesses a month after the election.”
Is it a coincidence? We know trump likes to use other people’s money to pay for things. We learned that from his failed foundation.

Reuters...
One dead, multiple victims wounded in Kentucky high school shooting Reuters Staff (Reuters) - One person was killed and multiple others were wounded in a shooting at a high school in western Kentucky on Tuesday, but a suspect was arrested shortly after the violence, state police reported on Twitter.
The shooting erupted at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, a town about 130 miles (210 km) northwest of Nashville, Tennessee, according to Kentucky State Police posts on Twitter.
Official details were initially sketchy, but police said the person who opened fire was apprehended within 15 minutes of the shooting.
The scene is secured, (and) the suspect is in custody," police said. The state police's initial Twitter alert reported "multiple victims, one of which has been pronounced dead."
A Marshall County sheriff's deputy took the shooter into custody, Sergeant Josh Lawson, a state police spokesman, said by phone. Lawson said he had no further details about the assailant or the extent of the injuries.
School officials and the county sheriff could not immediately be reached for further details.
The school has an enrollment of 1,146 students in grades 10 through 12. Marshall County has a population of about 31,000 people. Benton is the county seat.
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin called the shooting a "tremendous tragedy" in a statement posted on Twitter.“
How about that yet another mass shooting. Oh well.
And no it’s not ok but unfortunately my comment above seems to be the accepted one these days.

This is how screwed up this country has become...
ABC News...
“NEW: Sen. Feinstein, Rep. Schiff urge Facebook and Twitter to investigate involvement of Russian bots in pushing "Release the Memo" campaign: "If these reports are accurate, we are witnessing an ongoing attack by the Russian government through Kremlin-linked social media actors."
Prompted this response from Andrew Janz who is Nunes’s Democratic opponent in the upcoming mid terms...
“We need to figure out how closely @devinnunes and his team are working with these #Russian bots. This is a serious attempt to undermine our democratic institutions. #RemoveNunes “
Yes this political spiel but it’s a good question that should be answered. Especially when you consider Nunes on going attempt to discredit the Mueller investigation to protect trump.

Re Kush & China. Wendy Deng Murdoch. Ivanka gal pal. www.newsweek.com/who-wendi-deng-murdoch-chinese-spy-jared-kushner-ivanka-trump-782006Popular woman: "In 1999, she married News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch, 86.... The pair married on Murdoch’s yacht Morning Glory less than three weeks after his divorce from second wife Anna Murdoch was finalized. Deng Murdoch and Murdoch were together for 14 years and had two children, Grace Helen and Chloe, before Murdoch filed for divorce in 2013. Since then, rumors have linked Deng Murdoch romantically with several high-profile figures and world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
In 2016, Ivanka Trump posted several photos of the two posing together while on holiday in Croatia."

I was going to say I don’t If this is true but based on his past actions it could be true. But after reading the post above this I’m changing it to yes I can believe it. 😀

Tom Nichols...
“The Russians are attacking us, quite intelligently, at our two most vulnerable (and related) points: our fascination with social media, and our staggeringly low level of cultural and political literacy. They're using the net to spread stuff they know Americans will believe.”
He’s got a point.
