Matthew Vglesias...
“It’s remarkable how the conventional wisdom has pivoted from being overly harsh on so-so economic growth under Obama to overly elated about the exact same so-so economic growth under Trump.”
Good point.

This is why the wall is a waste of money. And this is why the budget of the Coast Guard shouldn’t be cut which trump/GOP plan on doing. You know to play for those tax cuts.

Well this fool just lost a long term customer. Fox News... “.@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. Exactly. Every time there is a "told you so" article published stating that "see? The tax cuts for business worked and it is trickling down" and their evidence is bonuses or some such I just laugh. We are not stupid. You got a huge permanent tax cut and are handing out bonuses this year to pay lip service.

Expertise - a person who has special skill or knowledge in some particular field; specialist; authority: a language expert.
ABC News...
“JUST IN: FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe stepping down from his post immediately, @abc confirms; will remain an employee of the bureau until his official retirement in March.”
The next on the trump hit list is FBI Attorney Baker I think his name is. And there is one other guy who’s name I can’t remember.
These are the men Comey told about his meetings with trump.
But more importantly the trump administration is driving out folks with expertise in their fields. Like the FBI, DOJ, EPA, & The State Department to name a couple. All of these departments play a big roll in keeping us safe in their own way. And all are suffering a “brain drain” that does not bode well for the citizens of this country. IMO.

Trump ordered aides to smear possible FBI witnesses: report New York Daily News DENIS SLATTERY Jan 27th 2018 4:06PM President Trump not only sought to have special counsel Robert Mueller fired, he also sought to discredit top FBI officials out of fear that they could be witnesses against him.Following former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the Senate intelligence committee last June, Trump ordered aides to smear three potential FBI witnesses who could confirm that the President tried to end or influence Mueller’s investigation, Foreign Policy reported on Friday. Trump targeted former acting and current deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Comey’s chief of staff Jim Rybicki and former FBI general counsel James Baker, after Comey mentioned them in his testimony, according to Foreign Policy.Trump’s lawyer, John Dowd, reportedly told him that the trio could be corroborating witnesses in a case of obstruction of justice, should Mueller pursue such a course. Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill have spent months attacking the three and tweeting that the FBI’s reputation is in “tatters.” www.aol.com/article/news/2018/01/27/trump-ordered-aides-to-smear-possible-fbi-witnesses-report/23345496/This is the reason that all testimony collected by all parties should NOT be made public until it is done. Now they will be 'discredited witness' in the eyes of some, if they need to be called....

Trump Jr.: McCabe going on leave 'to make sure American taxpayer is stuck paying him' BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 01/29/18 02:18 PM EST
Donald Trump Jr. hit departing FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for going on leave ahead of his retirement in March, saying the move means “the American tax payer is stuck paying him for the rest of his life.”
“So they will keep him on till then despite all this to make sure the American tax payer is stuck paying him for the rest of his life?” Trump Jr. tweeted Monday.
Multiple news outlets reported earlier Monday that McCabe would be stepping down as deputy director, more than a month earlier than expected. CBS News reported that McCabe was using built-up vacation time to go on leave until he’s eligible to retire with pension benefits in March.

You know to play for those tax cuts. Trump is about tangible branding. The wall is a huge, visible monument to himself. It is tangible and, if he gets his way, will be standing long after he is gone. The Coast Guard's work isn't tangible. I doubt Trump had any clue what the Coast Guard does and saw them as specialized lifeguards. His comments about their brand going up after the hurricane response efforts last year tells you all you need to know about what Trump knows of the Coast Guard.

Here is why there is a brain drain in key positions in the government. How would like to deal with this shit.
From NBC News...
“WASHINGTON — The day after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, he became so furious watching television footage of the ousted FBI director boarding a government-funded plane from Los Angeles back to Washington, D.C. that he called the bureau’s acting director, Andrew McCabe, to vent, according to multiple people familiar with the phone call.
Trump demanded to know why Comey was allowed to fly on an FBI plane after he had been fired, these people said. McCabe told the president he hadn’t been asked to authorize Comey’s flight, but if anyone had asked, he would have approved it, three people familiar with the call recounted to NBC News.
The president was silent for a moment and then turned on McCabe, suggesting he ask his wife how it feels to be a loser — an apparent reference to a failed campaign for state office in Virginia that McCabe’s wife made in 2015.
McCabe replied: “OK, sir.” Trump then hung up the phone.
Both the White House and the FBI declined to comment on the call.“

That shows you how bad the tax cuts are. If they were any good one wouldn’t have to spend a penny to sell it.

ONE month leave....... For heaven's sake, people do this all the time, which Trump Jr might know if he'd ever held a real job or been out in the real world. My dad retired from his school job at the end of August, and he took the previous two months off as the vacation and leave he had accrued. He was using the time he'd earned. And yes, now he has a state pension and the taxpayers will support him till the end of his life. Every state and federal employee has this. SMH!

Not likely since they are falling into line with him on everything now.

“There is a country whose leader is being investigated by an agency that's being investigated secretly by a legislator who was on the leader's transition team, which that agency is investigating for colluding with a nation that's subject to sanctions the leader refuses to enforce. “
