I suspect trump won’t be bragging about or taking credit for this. Somehow it will be Obama’s fault.

Michael Steele the former RNC Chairperson....
“The folks at @theonion after reading the #NunesMemo have sent a cease and desist order to the House Intelligence Committee for stealing their material.”
Now that is funny. 😀

Security Council official behind 5G network plan no longer at White House: reportBY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/02/18 10:56 PM EST The U.S. official behind a memo arguing for the development of a nationalized 5G mobile network has reportedly left the National Security Council (NSC). The Washington Post reported Friday that Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert Spalding's detail on the council ended on Jan. 31 and was not renewed. Spalding was the author of a memo and PowerPoint presentation that outlined a plan to centralize the nation's 5G network. That proposal was reported on Sunday by Axios. thehill.com/policy/technology/372130-national-security-council-official-behind-5g-network-plan-no-longer-at

We trade more w/Canada each day than w/Japan, Germany and the UK COMBINED! Canada is our largest export market. It's going to kill exports. But Trump doesn't care about logic & reason, just brute force and "winning".
$2Billion/day.

Actually a “limited strike” against North Korea may just have people running to the polls to but the Democrats in the majority to rein in this guy since the Republicans seem to have lost their senses.

The Hill.... “Republican Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) said the FBI's surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser detailed in a controversial intelligence memo released Friday "constitutes treason." Gosar said in a statement that he will co-author a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions seeking "criminal prosecution against these traitors to our nation," referring to those who authorized the surveillance warrant.” You know what’s so scary is that people actually elected this guy to Congress.

Thank for generously giving me your time. The one thing we never have enough of! This is darker, indeed, but I get it. It seems correct .I will read it to DH in a bit, he is doing some of our travel planning.

And then there was this from the AP... “BREAKING: White House: GOP memo `raises serious concerns' about `integrity of decisions' at FBI, Justice Department.” Seth Abramson has a great thread debunking that notion on Twitter. The WH is clearly aiming their statement at low information voters.

linkNewsweek... “LEAVING NAFTA WILL IMMEDIATELY COST 1.8 MILLION AMERICAN JOBS” The problem with these trade agreements very few folks really understand them and what they entail. Including me. But I’m not surprised by this at all. Republican congressman Will Hurd from west Texas just posted on his FB about how hard leaving NAFTA would hit his district - the loss of jobs and income would be huge in an area that, frankly, doesn't have a lot of replacement jobs. It's extremely remote. But I guess a few Mexican sympathizers in a majority-minority district west Texas aren't as important to Trump as the white coal miners of Appalachia. (It's a very beautiful area that everyone should visit - tourism helps their economy. Big Bend National Park is a treasure.)

Big business will dump Trump in two seconds if he leaves NAFTA. It will be the thing that may finally start impeachment proceedings.
And his vaunted "Look at my stock market" will tank. That started a bit yesterday.
They got their tax cut. At this point, he is there at the good graces of the GOP fat cats. Piss them off and impeachment.

Why sitting presidents should be able to be indicted. rantt.com/why-a-president-should-never-be-above-the-law-3b0e55fef273"the question of whether political office, not just skin color or bank account value, can be used as an honest to goodness, literal get-out-of-jail card even for high crimes and misdemeanors. Because if it does, then democracy will die overnight since a court system to which those in power are no longer accountable is the final step in every autocracy or dictatorship cementing their power over the long term, dismantling the very concept of separation of powers. It gives criminals every incentive to barge their way into high office, then, to preserve their place, intimidate and silence the opposition. Imagine if Trump couldn’t be indicted for money laundering until he stepped down. He would unleash his followers on every opposing politician and pressure the DOJ to investigate and disqualify them. This is the same thing that happened to the popular Russian lawyer and investigative journalist Alexei Navalny when he tried to challenge Putin. He keeps getting attacked and jailed and has been slapped with a criminal conviction that bars him from running for any public office, despite the case against him being questionable, to put it mildly."

linkThis I don’t get... Yes I get there is something negative called “San Francisco Values” . And I’m guessing that is why Pelosi has a target on her back. But what is so bad about SF Values? “Republicans dust off anti-Pelosi playbook for midterms. Will it work?”From the article. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — No one knows how to run against House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi better than Rep. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio. In 2010, he made her the central figure in his campaign to win a rematch against then-Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, who had defeated him by little more than 2,000 votes in 2008. "Her record mirrors Pelosi's," Stivers said back then. "Really, my focus is going to be on Pelosi and Kilroy." Across the country that year, anti-Pelosi ads were a fixture in Republican campaigns, and Stivers, who ended up winning Round 2 by a whopping 13 percentage points, became part of a freshman class that delivered the House back into GOP hands after Pelosi's four-year run as speaker. Now, as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Stivers is charged with fending off a Democratic wave and keeping the GOP's House majority in this year's mid-term elections. And he's dusting off the old playbook. "Nancy Pelosi has stayed in the spotlight," Stivers explained said this week as he outlined the GOP's fall campaign plan at a press conference on the sidelines of a congressional Republican retreat here. The question is whether Pelosi is as toxic now, with Republicans in control of the White House and Congress, as she was then. Republicans are certain that she is. On Wednesday night, Vice President Mike Pence told Republicans here that Pelosi is “out of touch with the American people” because she described corporate bonuses of $1,000 as "crumbs" compared to the benefits the wealthy will receive under President Donald Trump's signature tax cut. The next day, in front of the same audience of House and Senate Republicans, Trump likened the remark to Hillary Clinton's formulation that half of Trump's 2016 campaign supporters were "deplorables." Some Democrats fear that the prospect of Pelosi taking the speaker's gavel from Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., will hurt their party's chances in swing districts. Her approval ratings have hovered just below 30 percent. And Conor Lamb, the Democratic candidate running for the House in a western Pennsylvania special election next month, has said he would not vote for Pelosi to lead the party if he's elected.

This tweet by tiny hands...
“This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!”
Prompted this response from Walter Shaub...
“Shaub thinks this tweet makes the President look desperate, but Shaub admires the boldness of referring to oneself in the third person. Shaub gives credit where credit is due.”
Sometimes this form Ethics Director can across as somewhat prissy. But I do love his sense of humor.

It just goes to show that Republicans and conservatives will lie, day in and day out about things that are easily proven false, and the go on a rampage to belittle, bash, and trash any democrats and liberals.

The WH is clearly aiming their statement at low information voters. I will have to remember that phrase "low information voters"... DH and I were discussing the statements from John McCain last night and that was exactly the population I was trying to describe when we were debating if the Russian interference did have an impact on the outcome of the election. My POV being that it might not have changed significant votes from D to R, but rather may have impacted it by getting so many low information voters to the polls who- got all riled up and finally involved based on snippets or partial information or misinformation they picked up on social media or from right wing "news".

Paul Ryan tweeted this...
“A secretary at a public high school in Lancaster, PA, said she was pleasantly surprised her pay went up $1.50 per week ... she said (that) will more than cover her Costco membership for the year.”
He then deleted it. I wonder why.

I wonder why. Did he seriously Tweet that? Let them eat cake I guess. If she's happy, I'm happy for her, but if he's reaching if he feels that's one for the 'win' column of his tax plan.

I guess tiny hands is off the golf course. This is an interesting group of tweets....
“Great jobs numbers and finally, after many years, rising wages- and nobody even talks about them. Only Russia, Russia, Russia, despite the fact that, after a year of looking, there is No Collusion!”
“The four page memo released Friday reports the disturbing fact about how the FBI and FISA appear to have been used to influence the 2016 election and its aftermath....The FBI failed to inform the FISA court that the Clinton campaign had funded the dossier....the FBI became....
...a tool of anti-Trump political actors. This is unacceptable in a democracy and ought to alarm anyone who wants the FBI to be a nonpartisan enforcer of the law....The FBI wasn’t straight with Congress, as it hid most of these facts from investigators.” Wall Street Journal“
There is 15 minutes between each tweet.
Look how he is trying to connect dots that don’t even exist. Problem is there are fools who are going to believe this crap.
Noticed he didn’t say anything about the stock market tanking last week. On Friday alone it went down 665.75 almost 666.....

We trade more w/Canada each day than w/Japan, Germany and the UK COMBINED! Canada is our largest export market. It's going to kill exports. But Trump doesn't care about logic & reason, just brute force and "winning". $2Billion/day. You ( the US ) don't actually trade directly with the UK or Germany. The trade agreements are made via the European Union. The goods might end up in the individual countries but the actual agreement is with the EU. With Trump deregulating safety and regulations for a lot of businesses and corporations that exports he's also putting the agreement in jeopardy. The EU have pretty strong safety and regulations on anything that is imported to the member countries and if the US don't comply with the same safety standards as the EU then they won't let the goods in. If you only take this list of the top 15 and add the 5 EU countries it's over $200 billion and that doesn't include the other EU countries. It's all very well for him to cut the safety and regulations but he obviously hasn't thought of the wider implications. Canada: US$266 billion (18.3% of total American exports) Mexico: $231 billion (15.9%) China: $115.8 billion (8%) Japan: $63.3 billion (4.4%) United Kingdom: $55.4 billion (3.8%) Germany: $49.4 billion (3.4%) South Korea: $42.3 billion (2.9%) Netherlands: $40.4 billion (2.8%) Hong Kong: $34.9 billion (2.4%) France: $32.4 billion (2.2%) Belgium: $32.3 billion (2.2%) Brazil: $30.3 billion (2.1%) Singapore: $26.9 billion (1.8%) Taiwan: $26 billion (1.8%) Switzerland: $22.7 billion (1.6%) link
