Watching the Daily Show and they are showing the video of trump showing Macron the Oval Office. That man is such an embarrassment to this country. As Trevor Noah said it was like a ittle boy trump was showing off his toys to a grown up.

Maybe parts of the US could be put into "foster care" with their former owners until this Trump mess is over. He's clearly an unfit parent. England can take the original 13 colonies, Spain can have Florida, France the Louisiana Purchase territories, Mexico can take Texas and most of the southwest ... just until things settle down and a responsible adult is in charge again. Can MN go with Canada? Please? Yes! Then we could meet!

Barry R McCaffery....
“Very bad public embarrassment for Pres Trump to not invite both parties Cong leaders to State Dinner for Macron. Terrible precedent. Foreign Policy must be American Policy ...not partisan warfare.”
trump is a petty little man so “partisan warfare” is all you’re going to get.

trump...
“Busy day planned. Looking forward to watching President Macron of France address a Joint Session of Congress today. This is a great honor and seldom allowed to be done...he will be GREAT!”
Snippets from the speech...
Kyle Griffin...
“You can play with fear and anger for a time, but they do not construct anything. Anger only freezes and weakens us... Closing the door to the world will not stop the evolution of the world. It will not douse, but inflame, the fears of our citizens." (CBS)
ABC News...
“French Pres. Macron on lowering carbon emissions worldwide: "I believe in building a better future for our children, which requires offering them a planet that is still habitable in 25 years...we must find a smooth transition to a low carbon economy."
NBC News....
“French President Macron to Congress: "We are killing our planet. Let us face it: There is no Planet B.”
ABC News...
“Macron: "We have to fight against the ever-growing virus of fake news, which exposes our people to irrational fear and imaginary risks.
"The corruption of information is an attempt to corrode the very spirit of our democracies." abcn.ws/2r02z8I”
Macron got a standing ovation for this one. trump thinks he is talking about all the media outlets but Fox. I’m sure.
MSNBC...
“President Macron makes an appeal to Congress and President Trump to remain in the Iran Deal.
"We should not abandon it without having something substantial, or more substantial, instead."

Rep. Joe Kennedy III...
“Impact of #GOPTaxScam. Multinational company Philips Lighting announces $342M profits in 2017 & $187.4M in planned share buybacks in 2018. Immediately lays off nearly 200 Fall River workers and moves factory to Mexico.”
The corporations are responding to the tax cut as predicted but not as predicted by trump/Ryan & Company.

“WASHINGTON — The White House on Wednesday doubled down on its support of Department of Veterans Affairs secretary nominee Ronny Jackson, as the embattled doctor continued to face allegations of impropriety.”
Our veterans deserve better then this. Even if the allegations were “embellished” the man does not have the management experience needed to run an agency this big.

Another loss, for now, against trump’s mean spirited and stupid policies. Abstinence is how he thinks this should be done. Dumb shit.

“Patriots owner and Trump friend Bob Kraft: “The problem we have is, we have a president who will use [kneeling during the anthem] as fodder to do his mission that I don’t feel is in the best interests of America... It’s divisive and it’s horrible.”
Couldn’t agree more.

^^^ good point. he's never been one to care about his past, or how things 'look' to other people, either. I think he truly believes that the rules (socially accepted norms, laws, etc.) everyone else lives by really don't apply to him.

Yesterday I posted a tweet from Chelsea Clinton to the author of the latest book on Hillary. Chelsea claimed that the author put incidents involving her in the book but did not fact check them. They were minor things.
Today Katy Tur from MSNBC commented...
“The man fact checking @amychozick's book is the same one who fact checked mine. The same one who is so nit picky that he called Delta to confirm flight times. I would bet on Chozick here, not @chelseaclinton.”
What is missing from her tweet is that she took take the time to check if the fact checker/author did indeed fact check the stuff about Chelsea before putting it in the book before commenting. So she is “assuming”. And she is a reporter so you think it would be second nature to her to check the facts.
Some of the responses...
“That's nice. Circle the wagons against all things Clinton, just watched Andrea Mitchell do the same. Shame on you Katy Tur.”
“Irrational hate. Now Katy calling Chelsea Clinton a liar seems to be following in the bitter steps of Andrea. So gross, and disappointing!”
“There is no reason for @chelseaclinton to lie about these minor incidents. Did you check with the fact checker before you commented? If not it would appear the public should now question your reporting and if it’s reliable. Not a good thing for a reporter.”
“@katyturnbc You had the right to remain silent. Your choice of words caused a nose dive in my opinion of your judgment.”
“Would you? Then I am positive the fact checker you adore will be thrilled to turn over his records of checking with Chelsea. Easy peasy!!!”
1)” Yeah bc Chelsea has some deep dark secrets about her hair. 🙄 One thing twitter shows is how reporters close ranks when any of their brood are criticized“
2) “Not to mention that you using the same fact checker makes you somewhat less than unbiased”
“They will close ranks when it comes to the Clintons, & emails. I do not understand the obsession & ill will they have for the Clintons, while Trump treats them like dirt & they normalize him.”

This was a slam at trump. Problem is, he’s too dumb to know it.

linkThe Hill... “Carson proposes rent increases for Americans on housing assistance”“ Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson on Wednesday unveiled a plan that would triple the rent for Americans on housing assistance, as well as impose work requirements for the program.Carson's plan, proposed in the form of congressional legislation, would raise from 30 percent to 35 percent the amount of their income that Americans on housing assistance pay toward their housing. It would also require that the money be made by at least 15 hours of work at the federal minimum wage level. That plan would cause rent payments for low-income families to rise from about an amount not exceeding $50 per month to $150 per month, The Washington Post reported. "The system we currently use to calculate a family's rental assistance is broken and holds back the very people we're supposed to be helping," Carson said in a statement. "HUD-assisted households are now required to surrender a long list of personal information, and any new income they earn is 'taxed' every year in the form of a rent increase. Today, we begin a necessary conversation about how we can provide meaningful, dignified assistance to those we serve without hurting them at the same time." Once again we see how much the GOP hates the poor.

That plan would cause rent payments for low-income families to rise from about an amount not exceeding $50 per month to $150 per month, The Washington Post reported. This is a base rent for those who lose a job(before unemployment kicks in), have no job, no income. The jump from 30%-35% is huge and is calculated on GROSS income, not net, income also includes value of a car, a percentage of money in the bank, if people are attempting to get it together to move forward/move out. Also presently there is a credit for childcare, medical expenses, which I understand Carson is attempting to also eliminate. That makes the final rent go up more without the credits.

This is how dt treats people and US! With threats and retaliation....'I'll get you' attitude! 6 min ago Trump: Democratic senator who ran oversight on Jackson should have a "big price to pay"From CNN's Dan Merica President Trump says Sen. Jon Tester — who led the congressional oversight on Dr. Ronny Jackson’s now-failed nomination to lead the VA — should have a “big price to pay in Montana.”Tester is up for re-election in a state the President won by more than 20 points in 2016. The senator was the most public critic of Jackson, including interviews with CNN and NPR. “I think this is going to cause him a lot of problems in his state,” Trump said on Fox News Thursday morning. Earlier this week, Tester said Jackson was known as "the candy man" inside the White House, citing reports from individuals who raised concerns about his nomination. www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/ronny-jackson-trump-va/h_cc5628ba6d1a69e36e2773e3b0a614a9
