I love this little gem: “It wasn’t until I became a politician that I realized how nasty, how mean, how vicious and how fake the press can be" Huh. Couldn't possibly be because of the hateful nasty crap that comes out of your mouth, now could it? My 12 yr old takes more responsibility for her actions than this idiot.

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. It would be more terrible, IMO, to ignore and not say it about (this) president.

How to add to the distrust some people have in the government and to add more who now feel the same way.
From the intercept
“THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY maintains a page on its website that outlines its mission statement. But earlier this month, the agency made a discreet change: It removed “honesty” as its top priority.
Since at least May 2016, the surveillance agency had featured honesty as the first of four “core values” listed on NSA.gov, alongside “respect for the law,” “integrity,” and “transparency.” The agency vowed on the site to “be truthful with each other.”
On January 12, however, the NSA removed the mission statement page – which can still be viewed through the Internet Archive – and replaced it with a new version. Now, the parts about honesty and the pledge to be truthful have been deleted. The agency’s new top value is “commitment to service,” which it says means “excellence in the pursuit of our critical mission.”
Those are not the only striking alterations. In its old core values, the NSA explained that it would strive to be deserving of the “great trust” placed in it by national leaders and American citizens. It said that it would “honor the public’s need for openness.” But those phrases are now gone; all references to “trust,” “honor,” and “openness” have disappeared.
The agency previously stated on its website that it embraced transparency and claimed that all of its activities were aimed at “ensuring the safety, security, and liberty of our fellow citizens.” That has also been discarded. The agency still says it is committed to transparency on the updated website, but the transparency is now described as being for the benefit of “those who authorize and oversee NSA’s work on behalf of the American people.” The definition of “integrity” has been edited, too. The agency formerly said its commitment to integrity meant it would “behave honorably and apply good judgment.” The phrase “behave honorably” has now been dropped in favor of “communicating honestly and directly, acting ethically and fairly and carrying out our mission efficiently and effectively.”
The new list of values includes the additions “respect for people” and “accountability.” But the section on respecting people is a reference to diversity within the NSA workforce, not a general commitment to members of the public. Accountability is defined as taking “responsibility for our decisions.” The one core value that remains essentially unchanged is “respect for the law,” which the agency says means it is “grounded in our adherence to the U.S. Constitution and compliance with the U.S. laws, regulations and policies that govern our activities.”
In response to questions from The Intercept on Tuesday, the NSA played down the alterations. Thomas Groves, a spokesperson for the agency, said: “It’s nothing more than a website update, that’s all it is.”

It is a change in policy to reflect the integrity of the current administration and it's values.

Trump immigration plan hits wall of oppositionBY SCOTT WONG AND RAFAEL BERNAL - 01/26/18 02:08 PM ESTPresident Trump's immigration plan is running into heavy opposition on and off Capitol Hill, suggesting the much-anticipated framework has failed to move the needle as a bipartisan group of senators try to negotiate a deal. Trump’s one-page framework calls for granting a pathway to citizenship for nearly 2 million young undocumented immigrants in exchange for tens of billions of dollars for his border wall and other policies that would dramatically restrict legal immigration in the coming years. *** “Illegals have No Right to be here & have ALL violated our laws. This #Amnesty deal negotiates away American Sovereignty,” Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), an immigration hawk, tweeted Friday.*** Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, a group that advocates for reduced immigration, had embraced an immigration proposal by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.). That bill includes a path to legalization for nearly 800,000 DACA recipients — the first time since 1986 that NumbersUSA has supported any proposal along those lines. But the White House proposal goes too far for Beck. "NumbersUSA has no choice but to oppose what is being suggested as the White House 'framework' for a mass amnesty," Beck said. *** “There should be no amnesty for anyone who broke the law to come here,” one Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.), told The Hill. “It’s a slap in the face to those who follow the law.” *** Greisa Martinez Rosas, a DACA recipient and policy director for United We Dream, a youth network of Dreamer advocates, said Dreamers — even those benefitted by the proposal — would not accept its price. "The immigration proposal presented yesterday by the Trump White House is nothing more than a white supremacist ransom note. A 'Sophie’s choice' by an immoral and horrible man whose aim is to wipe immigrant families from this country," she said.
*** thehill.com/homenews/administration/370920-trump-immigration-plan-hits-wall-of-oppositionDACA 'kids' have NOT broken the law. They did not come here on their own, they were brought here. They contribute to society and pay taxes etc. Yes, their parent/s broke the law. Rep King (R-Iowa) has an immigrant past as most everyone in the USA does! Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.), I would interested in his ancestry!

Don't they know the old adage "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"? Only a fool would believe Trump will ever be presidential, grow into the role or suddenly become a moral, ethical guiding light.

Chris Geidner... “The Senate Judiciary Committee releases information on Friday at 6:25 p.m. about letters sent on Thursday "regarding Christopher Steele’s work on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary for America." Grassley and Graham are after Christopher Steele and the potential influence he may of had on the FBI. To that end these two sent out a series of letters. This is one of the questions from the letter sent to the DNC. The part I bolded I believe set the tone of their investigation. As far as we know the only people Christopher Steel was “spreading allegations” to was the FBI. I don’t believe it was ever disclosed who released the dossier to, was it Mother Jones and Buzzfeed? I doubt if it was Christopher Steele. If for no other reason than this type of research is what Steele does for a living now and he isn't going to jeopardize it by releasing information to the press. 9. Did anyone at the DNC inform Secretary Clinton of Mr. Steele's efforts, whether by name or not, or ofthe allegations he was spreading? Ifso, who and when? Please provide all related documents. Letter to the DNC
Letter to Donna Braille
Letter to John Podesta Hillary for America
There were other letters but copies weren’t posted. But not to be outdone Senator Diane Feinstein sent out a whole bunch of letters about the Russia investigation in general. To quote lucyg we are doomed. We really are.

No. Not that I have seen. In addition to IOKIYAR, our twisted society does not blame a beautiful woman for her husband's Tomcatting. Only the ones they consider ugly, like Hillary. Princess Diana and Prince Charles? Same thing. She was blameless (even in her own adulteries) because Charles was running off with Camilla, who couldn't possibly match her beauty. Like it or not, there is a double standard. Beautiful = Good, "Ugly" = Bad.

And then there's "ball buster," which is how the Hillary haters usually see her. But whatever. It's still Hillary's fault her husband cheated, Hillary's fault any time his affairs were publicly denied, and Hillary's fault their marriage/partnership survived. I miss Hillary. I'm pretty much over Bill, though.

The interview I saw this am (I cannot give the name of the Evangelical leader, watched while pea'ing) was clear that the Mulligan was only for pre-election bad boy behaviour and that should it occur again, they will withdraw support. That being said, it is only a matter of time, dontcha think?

I am on a Senator's mailing list and I just got this......
"Yesterday we learned that Republican leaders in the Senate have scheduled a vote Monday on legislation that would enact an unconstitutional 20-week abortion ban, just one week after the Trump Administration introduced new rules granting health care workers the license to discriminate against women seeking an abortion.
Here’s the truth: I am sick and tired of Republican politicians playing politics with our health care and going out of their way to target women’s constitutional right to choose in the process. We deserve better, which is why I’m asking you to take action:"

linkWhat a whiny little coward. He expects May to control the protests but yet he can’t control the protests in the US. What an embarrassment to this country. From the IBTimes UK “ Donald Trump tells Theresa May he won't visit the UK unless she bans protests”
Donald Trump is refusing to visit the UK unless Theresa May can ensure that he is not met with protests. Bloomberg revealed that Trump complained in a phone call to May about the "negative coverage" he has received in the British press. May told the US president that that was how the UK media operated and she could do little to change it. Trump went on to say that he would not visit the UK unless there were guarantees that he would not be met with protests. Advisers who had been listening to the phone call are reported to have been "astonished" at the demands. The pair are due to meet for bilateral talks at the World Economic Forum in Davos today (25 January). Trump's complaints and demands are the latest indicator of the increasingly fractious "special" relationship between the UK and US after Trump pulled out of a visit to Britain. The president had been billed to open the new US embassy in London in February but cancelled the trip citing his displeasure at its "off location" in south London. The old embassy in Grosvenor Square was deemed a major security headache that could not be fixed, which meant a new building had to be put up somewhere else in London. It was eventually decided to relocate it to a more secure location, just a few miles away in the Vauxhall area. Trump has stoked anger in the UK ever since he came to power nearly a year ago He attacked the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in the wake of terror attacks in London, prompting the mayor to call for any visit by Trump to the UK to be called off. Public disdain for Trump escalated further when he turned his anger on May. She condemned him as "wrong" to retweet posts by members of the far-right group Britain First.” Trump tweeted back: "Theresa May, don't focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!"

Brian Fallon... “In racist tirade, Fox host tells Dreamers to pay back their welfare, misquotes stats to suggest Dreamers are academically inferior and commit more crimes than natural-born population.” What welfare? Smart as Whips! .... bet far less crimes........ Crime According to FactCheck.org, "there is no evidence that DACA holders are more likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens." Factcheck.Org noted that "numerous studies have found that immigrants do not commit crimes at a higher rate than non-immigrants."[43] Economy Fact-checkers note that, on a large scale or in the long run, there is no reason to believe that DACA recipients have a major deleterious effect on American workers' employment chances; to the contrary, some economists say that DACA benefits the overall U.S. economy.[11][13][12][44][45] Economists have warned that ending DACA could adversely affect the U.S. economy, and that "most economists see immigration generally as an economic boon."[12][45] Almost all economists reject Jeff Sessions' claim that DACA "denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens."[12] Sessions' claim is rooted in what economists call the "lump of labor fallacy" (i.e., the idea that there is a limit to amount of work force available in any economy).[11][46]

Well this fool just lost a long term customer.

“.@homedepot co-founder Bernie Marcus: "Democrats, use your stupid brains. You don't have any brains." #Cavuto”
He was talking up the $1,000 bonus HomeDepot is giving some of his employees. He is telling the Democrats to use their brains because $1,000 means something. Yes it does. But it is also a one shot deal. It would mean something more if he was increasing their wages instead or committed to giving the bonuses once a year.
I happen to live between a Lowe’s and a HomeDepot but always would go to HomeDepot. That ended tonight. I hate it when people call you stupid because you aren’t buying the load of crap they’re selling.
