linkApparently trump is losing another case... Reuters... “ Appeals court rules against U.S. on funds for sanctuary cities”
From the article.... “Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday said the U.S. Justice Department cannot deny public safety grants to so-called sanctuary cities that limit cooperation with the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court injunction in a case brought by the city of Chicago. The appeals court agreed the injunction should apply nationally while the lawsuit proceeds in federal court. The case is one of a number of battles between the administration of Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic state and local leaders over immigration, healthcare, the environment and other issues.”

“Democrats are obstructing good (hopefully great) people wanting to give up a big portion of their life to work for our Government, hence, the American People. They are “slow walking” all of my nominations - hundreds of people. At this rate it would take 9 years for all approvals!” It's always the Dems that are delaying, but if you control both branches you have the control. But it is easier to blame the other side. He has no clue as to how government works. GET OFF THE F*CKING GOLF COURSE AND READ THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION OF CIVICS 101!!!!!! And most don't want to be tainted by the trump administration unless they are already wealthy enough/ or connected enough to benefit financially (although not ethically) by working for the administration.

The Daily Beast “Meet Donald Trump’s Top FBI Fanboy”. By Wayne Barrett From southpaw today.. “A reminder that Giuliani’s FBI connections during the campaign were just starting to be explored when Wayne Barrett passed away, and no one really tugged on the threads Barrett had exposed.” A from “southpaw”. 10/2017 “The late Wayne Barrett reported on the robust and seemingly improper connections between FBI and the Giuliani camp.” Then in his last story, Barrett reported that in 2015-16 Giuliani’s firms had been paid $560,000 by... the Mercers.” That name again “Mercer” as in Robert Mercer.

Serious question, how are they "obstructing the process"? By not approving of them and automatically rubber stamping them through? Or are they legitimately doing anything that could be considered obstruction? I don't think that word means what he thinks it means. Here's hoping he'll be finding out soon.

I think he has a pretty glaring record of not understanding what obstruction is 🙄. I long for the day that he gets "educated" on that.

Actually there will be 4 former Presidents. Both Bushes, Clinton, & Obama. And maybe Jimmy Carter which would make 5. It is said that Jimmy Carter doesn’t like Bill Clinton. But as members of the “President Club” they find a way to appear together in public when the occasion arises. trump will never be able to do that because he is too much of a coward.

I was not giving him an out... It is HIS fault he should not be there... He is 100% responsible for his behavior! Is the Beto other person election in November or do you have to multi candidates and top 2 run for the final.

Beto against Ted Cruz. Beto won the Democratic primary so he's our candidate in November. I knew what you were saying ... just adding on that Trump doesn't like to go where he may be protested. And Houston didn't vote for him.

Andrew Janz is the Democrat running against Nunes.
“Weeks ago the Fresno Co. Prosecutors’ Assoc. invited my opponent DevinNunes to attend their endorsement meeting. That mtg was today and he didn’t show up. His staff said he had an important vote today. House of Reps held no votes today. Maybe the important vote was in Russia. -AJ”
I wonder if Nunes is planning on not running for re-election or if he thinks because of his winning ways makes his re-election a slam dunk.

Michigan Republicans just rammed through a bill to strip jobless workers of Medicaid. This is what the lead sponsor of the bill had to say about it: “The best safety net ever created by God is family. I'm not sure that government is supposed to supplement that process."
Just pray the problems away. Cuz that works SO well.

"Karen McDougal is now free to talk, and she may have the raid of Michael Cohen to thank. The former Playboy playmate reached a settlement Wednesday with American Media, which publishes the National Enquirer, in a deal that allows her to spill about her alleged months-long affair with President Trump. And importantly, the terms of the deal appear quite favorable to McDougal. One possible reason, according to reports and experts: The Cohen raid bolstered her case." www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/04/19/the-dominoes-are-falling-after-the-michael-cohen-raid/

Meanwhile, the politicians always make sure that they are always covered by medical insurance at the taxpayers expense, some of them for life.

Forgive me if I missed this earlier on here:
(CBS News) — Former Playboy model Karen McDougal is now free to discuss her alleged affair with President Trump, after reaching an agreement with the tabloid company that had prohibited her from speaking, according to McDougal. McDougal said she is “relieved to be able to tell the truth” about her story.
McDougal, who alleges she had a sexual relationship with Mr. Trump over 10 months in 2006 and 2007, had sued over the $150,000 contract she had with American Media, Inc., the company that owns The National Enquirer, for keeping her from speaking about it. McDougal’s lawyer previously said the AMI contract “controlled her life” and she “wanted out.” The lawsuit had claimed AMI worked secretly with Mr. Trump’s associates and McDougal’s own lawyer at the time, Keith Davidson, to bury her story about the alleged extramarital affair.
So Keith Davidson was working with the National Enquirer and Trump's associates to help quash the story. Can you say disbarment? I can't wait to see how this one plays out.

This from trump...
“So exciting! I have agreed to be the Commencement Speaker at our GREAT Naval Academy on May 25th in Annapolis, Maryland. Looking forward to being there.”
Prompted this from Paul Waldman,,,
“What are the chances he doesn't know that the president gives a commencement address at one of the service academies every year, but thinks this is a unique honor that only he has been deemed deserving of?”
Pretty high I would say.
