“To recap: Trump asked Comey for loyalty; asked him to drop the Flynn probe; fired Comey; pressured Sessions not to recuse; pressured Sessions to fire McCabe; pressured Coats, Rogers, Pompeo &multiple congressmen to say he wasn’t under FBI investigation; and tried to fire Mueller.”
Busy little boy.

Good grief. And Im listening to Anthony Scaramucci defend by saying this was all confidential conversations and is blaming "interloping leakers." Nevermind the fact that it happened. Let's blame this on leakers.

Am I the only one here who believes he has no intention of testifying? He will never do that and what are they going to do about it? Handcuff him and drag him in to testify? He will ignore a subponea. He will refuse to testify under oath. Sounds like a job for Stormy Daniels...she could spank him with the subpoena.

Half watching MSNBC and they have a video of trump at Davos walking someplace and he is surrounded by his group and it occurred to me why. So he would always have someone around him. Remember the get together he went to and a couple of pictures surfaced of him sitting by himself while other leaders were standing behind him talking. It's the tv show Entourage, come to life!

President Donald Trump called for special counsel Robert Mueller's firing last June, The New York Times reported Thursday evening, citing four people told of the matter. But the President never went through with the order, according to the Times report, because White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to quit instead of carrying out the order. www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/politics/donald-trump-robert-mueller/index.html

Kyle Griffin.... “A growing number of Davos attendees are planning to walk out of Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum this Friday, several conference-goers told Quartz, to protest his remarks about African countries.” Oh oh and I hope so and I hope a lot more join in. Can you imagine that?!?!? He will throw a tantrum! So he would always have someone around him. Remember the get together he went to and a couple of pictures surfaced of him sitting by himself while other leaders were standing behind him talking. To keep him company yes, but also to keep him quiet or at least act as a buffer?

The White House asked to borrow a van Gogh. The Guggenheim offered a gold toilet instead. I was just hearing about that on BBC news! I seriously love those people at the Guggenheim right now "I'm sorry that painting is not available to you Mr Trump...yes, we lent it to Spain, but we won't let you have it...here have this well used toilet instead" Perfect response. I have a new hero. Give that curator a Bells!

Cyril Ramophosa, walk away please. We believe in you. We understand the temptation to cosy up to 45, like Zuma would, like Theresa May continues to do, like many continue to do. You are better than them. Walk away, please. I know she is not a pea but Gussie from Jacksonville, Florida, this is for you- I burst your eardrum one day in Orlando, in the laundry, when I read online that CR had taken the first step to oust JZ, who I hate as much as I hate 45. This is possibly what we spoke about that day.

I’m reading that many will be polite to his face, (it was specifically mentioned that they all gave better manners that he does!) but they feel that he knows nothing about global diplomacy so they are laughing behind his back—the thoughts are that if he continues to pull the US out of global trade, that opens doors for the rest of the world.

. We understand the temptation to cosy up to 45, like Zuma would, like Theresa May continues to do, like many continue to do. You are better than them. Walk away, please. I have to disagree a little with what you are saying here. Whilst I agree with you that some on the things she has done are difficult to understand ( the invite to Britian being the main one ) Her body language at yesterday's meeting said it all IMO. It's called diplomacy if you like and also that she has no desire to bring herself down to his level. I noted in particular when he said he respected what she was doing and they stood shoulder to shoulder her answer was, "we will always have a good relationship with the USA" Read between the lines. That was a dig that it was the country itself that mattered and not who was leading it. I would think she's also thinking along the lines....he'll be gone soon be it next week, next month or at the next election. Then things can get back to normal hopefully. She didn't hesitate to rebuke him a few weeks ago about the tweets and Downing Street has commented before that on things he has said about the UK.

Joe Kennedy III....
“From health care to economic justice to civil rights, the Democratic agenda stands in powerful contrast to President Trump’s broken promises to American families. Deeply honored to be chosen to deliver the response to the State of the Union next week. Stay tuned for updates!”
I’m telling you now the dream ticket for 2020 is Kamala Harris and Joe Kennedy III.

This from Fox & Friends...
“VARNEY: We had 8 years of 2% growth. Now we’ve started out in the first year under Trump with 3% growth. Capitalism works.”
Prompted this response from Paul Waldman....
“GDP growth in 2017 was 2.3%, but on Fox they just round that up to 3%, because Woo Trump! Before you know it, Republicans everywhere will be convinced we had 3 percent growth in 2017.”
Waldman is right. This is why Fox News is the leader in “fake news” or “alternative facts” whatever you want to call it.

Maybe if they ran this on Fox & Friends trump would get the message fossil fuel is on the way out and clean renewable energy is on the way in and stop trashing the country.
Reuters..
“Shell buying spree cranks up race for clean energy”
Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) has spent over $400 million on a range of acquisitions in recent weeks, from solar power to electric car charging points, cranking up its drive to expand beyond its oil and gas business and reduce its carbon footprint.
The scale of the buying spree pales in comparison to the Anglo-Dutch company's $25 billion annual spending budget. But its first forays into the solar and retail power sectors for many years shows a growing urgency to develop cleaner energy businesses.
The investments are not limited to renewables such as biofuels, solar and wind. Shell, as well as rivals such as BP (BP.L), Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) and Chevron (CVX.N), are betting on rising demand for gas, the least polluting fossil fuel, to power the expected surge in electric vehicles in the coming decades.
To that end, Shell agreed in December to acquire independent British power provider First Utility for around $200 million, according to several sources close to the deal. The value of the acquisition had not been previously disclosed.
Shell declined to comment.
With First Utility, the company hopes to find an outlet for its gas supplies via the retail power market, betting on rising demand as drivers charge electric vehicles at home.
Earlier this month, the company ventured back into solar after a 12-year hiatus when buying a 43.86 percent stake in Silicon Ranch Corporation for $217 million.
In the last three months of 2017, Shell also invested in two projects to develop charging stations for electric vehicles across Europe's highways. It has also signed agreements to buy solar power in Britain and develop renewables power grids in Asia and Africa.
According to analysts at Bernstein, Big Oil has invested over $3 billion on renewables acquisitions over the past five years, most of which went towards solar.
"Green" merger and acquisition (M&A) activity today averages 13 percent of total energy M&A activity, they said.
"However greater scale is needed for the majors to effectively operate and leverage their trading skills in this market, necessitating more M&A," they said in a note.
Other companies have also made investments.
BP got back into solar power with a $200 million investment in solar generator Lightsource late last year, six years after exiting the sector with a large
Total (TOTF.PA) bought battery maker Saft for $1 billion in 2016. “

Of course he did and because he lies so much you can’t believe him.

“Ignore the polls. Get registered. Get your IDs in order. Help friends register and check their IDs. Help those in need do both. Constantly make sure you haven't been removed from the voter rolls. REGISTER. VOTE. When Dems vote, they win. #FlipItBlue”
This was in response to the news the Democrat running against Cruz is within 8 points in the polls.
Having said that, while marches are nice, the real work is the list above. If people don’t vote then the inspiring marches just become a bunch of people taking a walk together.

So annual gdp growth was 2.3% What happened to all the 5, then 4, then 3% annualized growth the stable genius promised?
Just wait 'til his protectionist trade policies kick in. Y'ain't seen nuthin' yet.
I was in a meeting w/a Consul General from Canada yesterday. They are moving hard to TPP and envisioning a post NAFTA world. Trump thinks the world is going to sit on its hands and beg us. He is in for a rude awakening.

No scandals, but the right wing mud machine also hasn’t cranked up against him yet. We will see.

The Sate Dept is a disaster an awful mess........... read the whole thing............. Exclusive: Frustrated State Department employees hire attorneys, charging 'political retribution'Elise Labott-Profile-Image By Elise Labott, CNN Updated 3:10 PM ET, Fri January 26, 2018 Washington (CNN)A growing number of State Department employees are charging they are being put in career purgatory because of their previous work on policy priorities associated with President Barack Obama and in offices the Trump administration is interested in closing. The situation has got so serious that several officials tell CNN they have retained attorneys after repeatedly trying unsuccessfully to raise concerns about being assigned to low-level jobs in Foggy Bottom such as answering Freedom of Information Act requests. The issue has also come to the attention of senior Democrats on Capitol Hill. The issue of senior officers being reassigned has drawn the attention of influential Democrats on Capitol Hill. Elijah Cummings, ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, told CNN he is "deeply concerned that State Department employees are being pulled away from their critical duties relating to national security and foreign policy and ordered them instead to perform FOIA tasks outside of their areas of expertise-apparently with little or no effort to transfer their core responsibilities to other qualified officials." "This administration has already done serious harm to American diplomacy by forcing seasoned officials out and ignoring the expertise of career State Department professionals," Rep. Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN: "If the allegations are true that the administration is punishing public servants as a form of political retribution, those responsible must face consequences. I intend to get answers about this." www.cnn.com/2018/01/26/politics/state-department-employees-hire-attorneys-political-retribution/index.html

It's a redder than red area, so I expect it to be sparsely attended but am looking forward to it nonetheless.

From trump’s Holocaust message...
“Trump adds, "As I have said: 'We will stamp out prejudice. We will condemn hatred. We will bear witness, and we will act.'"
Yea right. More likely will fuel prejudice and hatred.
What a terrible thing to say about a US President. But what is worse is knowing that it is true.
