“It is simple:
They loved the FBI when it investigated Bill Clinton.
They loved the FBI when it investigated Hillary Clinton.
They love the FBI when it reopened the Hillary email investigation just before the election.
They hated the FBI as it investigates Trump & Russia.”
Can’t argue with that.

From Newsweek“TRUMP'S NEW RULE COULD TAKE BILLIONS IN TIPS FROM WORKERS AND GIVE IT TO THEIR BOSSES” “President Donald Trump's Department of Labor wants to give restaurant owners greater control over pooled tips— but agency officials reportedly purposefully hid evidence that shows this rule change could take billions from restaurant workers and give the money to their bosses.Labor announced in December that it would work to undo the Obama-era regulation that stopped employers from collecting and redistributing workers' tips however they’d like if the workers earn the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Department officials say the new rule would allow back-of-house staff get a share of tips generated by the waiters and other service employees.“ Any of those rust belt folks who thought trump “heard them” and was going to “take care of them” were conned by don the con.

From Reuters“EXCLUSIVE: U.S. consumer protection official puts Equifax probe on ice - sources reut.rs/2GRSm5B” I should have a stamp made “Anyone who believe trump was going “to take care of them” were conned by don the con. Or maybe the stamp should read “Elections have consequences”.

From Newsweek“Pentagon can't account for $800 million, report shows bit.ly/2nKL0rL” And yet we want to give the military more money at the expense of services and programs that help people and protect people on a daily basis. Look I’m all for a strong military but you read stories like this all the time. Plus we already spend more on our military than the combined total spenting by the next 7 countries and that includes China and Russia. Maybe before we lavish money on the military we should find out what they are doing with the money they already get. Maybe it could be better spent within the military.

From Newsweek“Nunes says Trump never met campaign adviser George Papadopoulos even though there's a photo of them together bit.ly/2EGFaQ4” We now know why trump tweeted this comment this morning... “Representative Devin Nunes, a man of tremendous courage and grit, may someday be recognized as a Great American Hero for what he has exposed and what he has had to endure!” Oh Californians in the Fresno/Tulare Area you have got to get rid of this embarrassment to your area and the entire state.

In case you are wondering why it’s a big deal that the Equifax investigation is being shelved..
From Randy Bryce.
“Equifax exposed the personal information of up to 145.5 million people.
They waited 6 weeks to tell the public.
3 Equifax execs sold shares of the company after the discovery of the breach but before their public disclosure.
We need an investigation.”

redistributing workers' tips however they’d like if the workers earn the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.The first is they would like them to make Federal minimum wage $7.25, which means many don't. New Jersey, like many states, has a $2.13 minimum wage for restaurant servers, so "they live on tips" is simply a fact.

Sooo trump is in Ohio ignoring the tanking stock market..
From CNN...
“President Trump mocks some Democrats for their reactions to his State of the Union speech, calling their responses "treasonous" and "un-American" cnn.it/2nJKdY4”
Actually you dimwit they were exercising their first amendment rights. And since when did it become “treasonous” not to respond the way you think one should just because you were flapping your gums?
Here is some more from Huffington Post...
“WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump accused Democrats on Monday of being “un-American” and “treasonous” in a campaign-style speech in Cincinnati that was actually meant to tout the recent GOP tax bill and the economy.
“Can we call that treason?” Trump said, referring to Democrats who did not clap for him during his State of the Union address last week. “They certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”
At the State of the Union address, it is typical for politicians of the president’s party to enthusiastically applaud, while lawmakers in the opposite party usually have a muted response.
Trump also spoke at length about the midterm elections, even though White House officials said the speech “isn’t a political event.”
Can anyone make a case this type of talk from a sitting president is ok?

So who thinks trump will approve the release of the Democratic memo?

ha! if he approves release of that memo, I'll be very surprised. If he does, it will be at the absolute END of the 5-day review period. They'll want to drag it out as long as possible, in hopes that the 'memo' topic will have dropped out of the news by then. Look for something spectacularly stupid to happen, to try and distract the media, and us, in the meantime.

Bold mine! But very important. HE has nothing to hide so I am sure he will sign off right away.

Mexican-American judge that Trump attacked could hear case on border wallBY LUIS SANCHEZ - 02/05/18 06:21 PM EST The federal judge who President Donald Trump attacked for his ethnicity during the 2016 presidential campaign could end up judging whether the president gets to build his proposed border wall. U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who Trump said might be biased against him in a lawsuit concerning Trump University because of Curiel's Mexican heritage — will hear a case on Friday that could determine Trump’s ability to waive environmental laws in the construction of the wall.
Curiel could hinder the administration's efforts to build barriers on unfenced portions of the border if he rules against Trump. If the judge rules in favor of the administration, it would allow Trump to issue the waivers needed to build sections of the border. thehill.com/homenews/administration/372436-mexican-american-judge-that-trump-attacked-could-hear-case-on-borderAll fingers and toes crossed for Friday!! May the LAW prevail!

This bothers me because while they think they're being clever, it just takes attention away from very real issues. Let's face it, the man and the administration provide plenty of fodder day after day to make fun of no one needs to go making it up. And now there's an instance you know someone will spout as fake news and use it as an example to dismiss and disbelieve the real (awful) news that needs to be heard and needs to be believed.

In fact for most people I think it would have been obvious that it wasn't genuine purely by how Jones was spelt, even DT surely knows that it's Dow Jones and not Dow Joans

I have to disagree on the last sentence, I would not be at all surprised that a tweet of his went out with a misspelling! I'm amazed every day at what he appears not to know and/or notice.
