In general, I would agree with you about checking sources. But I'm not on Twitter, so I don't understand how someone could know it wasn't his tweet? Retweeting from what looks like his real handle? 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. I fell for it. I thought it was his. I need to be more diligent. I assumed you knew and was making a joke of it.

I assumed you knew and was making a joke of it. but on the other hand, what does it say when many people can't tell a joke/fake tweet from an uniformed what-a-joke/real tweet from 45. Just like it's getting hard to tell satire from the real news these days. crazytown

“Out of all the people in the world, why did the Trump campaign pick Carter Page? (and George Papadopolous, and Mike Flynn, and Paul Manafort?)”
Good question.

This by Gabriel Sherman...
“Nunes tells Hannity the “mainstream media is totally uninterested” in covering his memo. “It’s embarrassing.”
Prompted this response by Paul Waldman...
“What's crazy is that despite the fact that the memo was covered like it was the frigging moon landing, Hannity's audience will totally believe Fox was the only place that paid it any attention.”
True.

So very true. But they sent no bad signals to him, because it is the way of his life?

Trump to establish National Vetting Center for immigrants, visitorsBY OLIVIA BEAVERS - 02/05/18 09:37 PM EST President Trump is set to establish a "National Vetting Center" on Tuesday to improve the vetting process of individuals coming into the United States, according to a White House daily schedule. The national security memorandum Trump plans to sign will give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other government agencies a six-month deadline to establish the center, CNN reported Monday. Two administration officials told the news outlet that the center would aim to improve how different federal agencies share information about vetting, as well as streamline the process. It is unclear how the center will change how immigrants and travelers coming onto American soil will be vetted.

I fell for it. I thought it was his. I need to be more diligent. Oh, I wasn't calling you out, I was asking how would you know? How can you tell if you are retweeting from a fake account if it appears to have the exact same handle? I want to know what to look for in the future so I don't fall prey to a fake.

Nunes claims 'clear link' between Dems and Russia during 2016 electionBY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 02/05/18 11:16 PM EST .@devinnunes: "It seems like the counter intelligence investigation should've been opened up against the Hillary campaign when they got ahold of the dossier. But that didn't happen, either." #Hannity pic.twitter.com/zJuEu7xPwM — Fox News (@foxnews) February 6, 2018 “We have a clear link to Russia — you have a campaign who hired a law firm, who hire Fusion GPS, who hired a foreign agent, who then got information from the Russians on the other campaign,” the Republican chairman said. “It seems like the counterintelligence investigation should have been opened up against the Hillary campaign when they got ahold of the dossier. But that didn't happen, either,” Nunes Nunes also claimed that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court that granted the warrant against Trump aide Carter Page wasn’t informed of the political origins of the funding behind the dossier, though it's been reported that officials had disclosed the political nature of the dossier.The Republican memo claims that the Justice Department used information from the so-called Steele dossier to obtain a surveillance warrant against Carter Page. The memo, however, also makes clear that the federal Russia probe was triggered by information about former Trump campaign staffer George Papadopoulos, and not the dossier. thehill.com/homenews/house/372467-nunes-claims-clear-link-between-dems-and-russia-during-2016-electionEarlier today Nunes said: Republicans concede key FBI 'footnote' in Carter Page warrantHouse Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said Monday that the FBI had disclosed possible political backing for a Trump-Russia dossier in October 2016, but a controversial GOP memo released last week did not mention it.By KYLE CHENEY 02/05/2018 01:13 PM EST Updated 02/05/2018 02:46 PM EST www.politico.com/story/2018/02/05/fbi-footnote-carter-page-warrant-390795

But this would be a good place to reiterate the purpose of this thread This is a thread to comment about political issues that don’t warrant their own thread. If Liberials want a thread to make fun of conservatives someone else will have to start it.

Now this we can make fun of on this thread.
Arron Rupar...
“REPORTER: Speaker Ryan, you said the Nunes memo had nothing to do with Mueller probe.
RYAN: Right.
REPORTER: But Trump said the memo is 'complete vindication' for him. Why would the president say that if they are in fact unrelated?
RYAN: Look, let's change the topic.”
What a twit. He wants to run for President or he did. Good luck with that.

Carter Page: I've never spoken with Trump 'any time in my life'BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 02/06/18 11:18 AM EST Ex-Trump adviser Carter Page, at the center of memo showdown, sits down one-on-one with @gstephanopoulos: t.co/7Ix4gLnOwM pic.twitter.com/epEtQUCHvG — Good Morning America (@gma) February 6, 2018 Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page said in a new interview that he has never had any contact with President Trump.During an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday, Page was asked about his past communications with Trump. "You've been under surveillance ... since October 2016. Since that time, have you ever spoken to Donald Trump?" ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked Page during the interview. "I never spoke with him since. I never spoke with him any time in my life," Page said. "You've never spoken with Donald Trump in your life?" Stephanopoulos pressed Page. "No email, no text, nothing like that?" "Never," Page replied.

This by Jennifer Jacobs..
“NEW: Trump has NOT read the Dem memo yet but he has it, General Kelly tells me. Kelly says Trump will be briefed on it later today.”
Prompted this response from Paul Waldman...
“Since a 10-page memo is way too much for him to handle, a team of lawyers is now working to distill it down to a 45-second explanation, perhaps including some colorful visual aids, that will sustain his attention long enough for him to decide whether to release it publicly.”
Sadly I think there is a lot of truth in his comment.

EJ Dionne...
As #Trump administration greenlights work requirements for "able-bodied adults” on Medicaid, 5 states want to impose arbitrary lifetime time limits on benefits for politically disfavored categories of recipients. Important piece @ed_kilgore”
One of the examples given of who could be affected by this are the working poor that do not receive benefits and can’t afford the premiums for insurance on the exchange.
That sure says a lot about the folks pushing for this change to Medicaid doesn’t.

Trump: 'I'd love to see a shutdown' if Dems don't meet immigration demandsBY JORDAN FABIAN - 02/06/18 02:50 PM EST JUST IN: Pres. Trump: "If we have to shut it down because the Democrats don't want safety...then shut it down. We'll go with another shutdown." t.co/z2cDLnUWkj pic.twitter.com/z5FVkuOR79 — ABC News (@abc) February 6, 2018 President Trump said Tuesday he would "love" to see a government shutdown if Democrats do not agree to his demands on immigration. "We’ll do a shutdown and it’s worth it for our country. I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of," Trump told a gathering of law enforcement officials and members of Congress at the White House.“If we have to shut it down because the Democrats don’t want safety and, unrelated but still related, they don’t want to take care of our military, then shut it down," the president added. "We’ll go with another shutdown.” Trump's saber rattling came as lawmakers are rushing to meet a Thursday deadline to fund the government. His tough talk stands in stark contrast to comments made by Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate, who said they were close to a long-term budget deal. That proposal, however, would not include immigration legislation. --This breaking news report will be updated. thehill.com/homenews/administration/372576-trump-id-love-to-see-a-shutdownClass act!
