Looks like we flipped a deep red seat blue for the MO House of Representatives yesterday. Midterms get a bit closer every day.

“In the “old days,” when good news was reported, the Stock Market would go up. Today, when good news is reported, the Stock Market goes down. Big mistake, and we have so much good (great) news about the economy!”
There you have it. “Big mistake.” I’m surprised he hasn’t said it was the Democrats conspiring against him that caused the market to tank.

Looks like we flipped a deep red seat blue for the MO House of Representatives yesterday. Midterms get a bit closer every day. When mid-terms come along and the house and senate have flipped, he'll probably spin it that he was a democrat all along and did this intentionally to get the majority back in the democrats hands.

Was just coming to post this. She lies so easily. Yet she thinks she's a good Christian. For me the worst part is that lying, slimy bitch has children. They are exposed to her every single day. What the hell kind of example is she setting for them.

This by Christina Wilkie..
“This tweet was sent at 11:10AM. According to Trump’s official schedule, his daily intelligence briefing began at 11:00AM. Perhaps it was especially brief today.”
Was in response to this by trump..
“NEW FBI TEXTS ARE BOMBSHELLS!”
Or he got all excited by something he heard or thought he heard in the briefing and decided to share by a tweet...

FBI official texted 'POTUS wants to know everything we're doing': reportBY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/07/18 11:45 AM EST Lisa Page, the FBI official accused of harboring an anti-Trump bias, sent a text message in September 2016 saying that then-President Obama wanted "to know everything" about the FBI's probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. The text message exchange with Peter Strzok, another FBI official with whom she was having an affair, contains a message from Page about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to Obama. The exchange, in which Strzok wrote that Obama "wants to know everything we’re doing," was included in a report released Tuesday by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Republican staff on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Fox News first reported on the exchange on Wednesday. thehill.com/homenews/senate/372722-fbi-official-texted-potus-wants-to-know-everything-were-doing-reportIf I am the boss and I was told by law enforcement there was an investigation of an employee I think I would ask for whatever information they were at liberty to give me, understanding that every detail might not be available. I would want to know if my company was at risk or could become at risk, if there was something I should or should not do accordingly. It does NOT mean that I wold discuss all details, if any at all, with said employee. I would ask LE what they would want me to do in that situation and go from there. And that may very well have been the case. Time will tell........ On another note: "wants to know everything we’re doing," It could be a snarky statement in that why why why?

"Wants to know everything we're doing" is much different than "wants to control everything we're doing."

Top Rope Report... “Estimated cost of Trump's military parade: $17.2 million Cost to provide housing for every homeless veteran in America (40,000): $24.7 million Trump wants a military parade in his honor. Veterans want to sleep out of the cold & rain. Where do you want your tax dollars to go?” Ouch. While I totally agree with the sentiment and don't want to see a penny go to a military parade just so Trump can feel powerful ... the math involved in that statement about housing vets is iffy. I figured it out to $617.50/head, which isn't going to house them for long, anyway.

Why wouldn’t Obama want to know everything the FBI was doing 3 days before he was to meet with Putin regarding the election meddling? I don’t understand why this is a big deal?

I didn't realize the significance of the dates. I think, regardless, of course he would want to be kept on top of it. As he should. Can you imagine the backlash if he didn't know what was going on?

Senate leaders announce two-year budget dealBy Lauren Fox, Phil Mattingly and Ted Barrett, CNN Updated 1:32 PM ET, Wed February 7, 2018 (CNN)Senate leaders unveiled a two-year budget deal Wednesday, a major victory for both parties that could prevent a government shutdown at the end of this week. But the plan still needs to pass the House, where it's already facing strong headwinds. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell unveiled the deal with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor, which would boost military and non-defense spending by $300 billion over the next two years as well as and more than $80 billion in disaster relief. About $160 billion would go to the Pentagon and about $128 billion would to non-defense programs. The agreement includes spending on a variety of other needs, including disaster aid to respond to recent natural disasters. Some congressional negotiators also wanted to include a hike in the debt limit, which the US is expected to hit next month, though the exact parameters were still being negotiated when the deal was announced. "I am pleased to announce that our bipartisan, bicameral negotiations on defense spending and other priorities have yielded a significant agreement," McConnell said. Asked about the debt ceiling parameters, the Senate's No. 2 Republican, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, replied "Apparently that has not been closed out. Some discussion of that remains."

linkFrom FiveThrityEight... “There are more than 1,400 chemical sites in the federal Toxic Release Inventory that handle large amounts of hazardous chemicals and also happen to be in areas FEMA says have a high risk of flooding.” Those 100 year floods seem to be happening more frequently these days so that could be problematic for those who live near these facilities.

Lindsay Graham..
“I fully support @potus @realdonaldtrump's decision to have an annual military parade honoring the best among us.
It is long past time we have a national event saying ‘Thank You” to our men and women in uniform.
They have been fighting so hard for so long to protect us.”
and..
“My hope is this parade will not focus on military hardware, but on military service, sacrifice, and saying ‘Thank You” to those who protect our nation.”
What a dimwit.
I hate The Wounded Warrior commercials. You know why? I hate that they have to exist. My thinking is if the government is going to send our men and women to fight in these wars then the government takes care of them when they come home, no matter what they need and not leave it to a third party to pick up the slack. Wounded Warrior commercials remind me what is lacking from the people who send these men and women into harms way.
So Lindsay Graham, trump, and others in government instead of giving them a stupid parade to honor their service how about you take care of them instead. I think that would be appreciated by our military folks and their families more then a trump ego feeding parade.

“sr admin official tells @andrewrestuccia that a) chief of staff John Kelly already knew Rob Porter had a restraining order against him b) Porter, whose job was reviewing all documents that go to the president, didn't have full security clearance b/c of it”
Well I see that
a) Rachel Maddow has another name to add to the growing list of those departing from the trump administration. b) and trump is living up to his promise of hiring only the best to work in The White House.

As I was thinking of that video I was also thinking about the men who surround dt. Military bald or buzzed. Page bald or shaved and many more. He seems to prefer men with little to no hair. Bannon the exception but he is gone anyway.

If she is still standing, it is now almost 8 hours. I think it was stated she started at 10am ET
ETA: Longest speech in the House 8 hours 7 minutes in recorded history! (at least that is what AC news said).

“sr admin official tells @andrewrestuccia that a) chief of staff John Kelly already knew Rob Porter had a restraining order against himb) Porter, whose job was reviewing all documents that go to the president, didn't have full security clearance b/c of it” And.......... "Porter has been dating White House communications director Hope Hicks, one of the most influential figures in the West Wing, several people familiar with their relationship say." And before Hicks there was: "A third womanBoth Holderness and Willoughby were contacted by a woman claiming to be Porter's girlfriend in 2016. In Facebook and text messages reviewed by CNN, the woman, described "repeated abuse" from Porter and sought help from the ex-wives on how to leave him. "I work in politics, and despite Rob's repeated abuse, some of which I think many know about, he continues to rise and I'm afraid to go against him," the woman wrote to Holderness in December 2016. "I'm sorry to bother you. I wanted to reach out and hear your story if you are willing to share -- as well as how you broke out of it with him and mostly, how you recovered." "Rob was abusive, degrading, a liar and a cheater and during the course of my relationship with him, I found out that he was to others, too," the woman wrote to Willoughby in February 2016. "I am just searching for someone who might be able to relate to the hell I have gone through. The woman currently works in the federal government. CNN has repeatedly attempted to reach her and is not naming her."www.cnn.com/2018/02/07/politics/rob-porter-ex-wives-white-house/index.html(or maybe Hicks is the third woman?!?!?)

“White House communications director Hope Hicks, who has been in a romantic relationship with Rob Porter, was involved in crafting the response to the allegations of domestic abuse leveled against Porter on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the matter tell me”
Why would anyone with half a brain want to have any kind of romantic relationship with anyone who has a restraining order filed against him by one of his ex-wives?

"This is somebody who likes to eat"

"I never thought she was good looking. Her lips are too big."
"Does she have a good body, No"
"She's 5'1. You have to like short girls. She's very very short"

Check this out, today on the Trump News Network: Ridiculous "Article"This is what passes for journalism at Fox. An "article" full of speculation and insinuation, taking text messages out of context. It's no wonder half the country can't tell truth from fiction.

Right-wing media obsesses over FBI text message story; hours later it's debunkedby Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy February 7, 2018: 6:55 PM ET Members of the pro-Trump media acted like they hit the goldmine on Wednesday morning. Led by Fox News, these outlets went into a frenzy over what they presented as an explosive story that not only cast former President Obama and Hillary Clinton in a negative light, but simultaneously helped vindicate claims then-candidate Donald Trump made about the investigation into Clinton's private email server being "rigged." But a CNN review of the story's premise indicates that key text messages the story relied on were taken out of context, and portrayed as meaning something entirely different than what they actually meant. In the early hours of the morning, Fox News published an article on its website based on newly-released communications between senior FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The text messages were released Tuesday in a report produced by the office of Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. In one September 2, 2016, text message, Page wrote that there was a meeting at the bureau setup because Obama wanted "to know everything we are doing." Johnson, in his report, said the text message raised questions about Obama's involvement in the FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server. In fact, the message more likely indicated that Obama wanted to be kept informed of an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. ** People familiar with the matter strongly dispute the assertion that the text message referenced the Clinton email probe. The text message, they say, was actually referencing Obama's desire to be kept abreast on the FBI's investigation into Russian election meddling.** Fox News continued to discuss the story on its air Wednesday afternoon, even after multiple outlets -- including the Wall Street Journal, which is controlled by Fox head Rupert Murdoch -- had reported contrary information. Much more a link: money.cnn.com/2018/02/07/media/right-wing-media-fbi-text-message-clinton-investigation/index.htmlSomeone here called it!!

Vanity Fair: White House staffers questioning Kelly’s judgement after Porter's resignation BY BRANDON CARTER - 02/07/18 08:21 PM EST White House staffers are questioning the judgement of chief of staff John Kelly for his defense of staff secretary Rob Porter before his resignation over domestic abuse allegations on Wednesday, according to a new report. Four Republicans close to the White House told Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman that Kelly’s defense of Porter frustrated staffers in the White House. “It’s beyond disbelief,” a former White House official told Vanity Fair, according to Sherman. “Everyone is trying to figure out why Kelly is leading the charge to save him.”** Kelly and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders both issued statements of support for Porter after the initial reports of the abuse allegations surfaced Tuesday night. Kelly called him “a man of true integrity and honor.” ** More at link: thehill.com/homenews/administration/372864-vanity-fair-white-house-staffers-questioning-kellys-judgement-afterHummmmm............
