I just want to give Trump a shout out! Since tearing up the Iran deal, our gas prices have risen $.40 to $3.05. So happy for all his oil friends who continue to reap the rewards of higher gas prices. NOT!!!Yep, depending upon where you live, it's almost $4 in some places. Yikes! I hope we don’t get to that point again around here!

NOT!!!Yeah, well, I had my head bit off here by several peas when I was happy gas prices dropped below $3 a few years back. One was super upset I was ‘rejoicing people loosing jobs’. I’m like, um, no, I’m happy I can afford to go to the grocery store when I need to but what ever. I can be happy I can buy food and afford gas for the lawn mower and not be rejoicing that oil companies chose more profit over families that work for them.

Just a reminder...
Jesse Hamilton...
“U.S. banks reported first quarter profit of $56 billion, according to FDIC today, absolutely smashing the record. Tax break went a long way, but even without it, agency said the industry would have had more than $49 billion in net income — also a record.”
Jon Favreau.....
“Just an extra $5 billion for banks from the tax cut while Republicans try to cut food stamps and school lunches and Medicaid and health insurance subsidies.”

Vanessa Gezari....
“Lesley Stahl asked Trump in semi-private meeting why he’s always attacking the press. His answer: “I want to demean you and discredit you so that when you do negative stories about me, no one will believe you.” @deadlineclub #deadlineawards”
Problem is very little written about trump is speculative. The media just runs videos of trump talking and report his actions.

this commemorative coin is just UGLY, too, in my opinion... "Weird, odd, a dumpster fire"^^^ that is the headline on the story, NOT [just] my opinion. "The coin announces Kim’s title as “supreme leader”, despite there being no official position with that name in North Korea. Kim is usually referred to as chairman of the state affairs commission in state media, while he is also chairman of the ruling party." one of the Twitter comments-- "I think the coin does a good job of capturing Donald Trump's wattle" lol! one of the other ones: "there's no way a President pre-pressing a a challenge coin to commemorate a not-yet-held summit with the North Koreans could ever go wrong" lol! <---oh, I beg to differ! DT is resourceful; if there's a way to f&ck something up, he'll find it!! The Time.com story reports Deputy White House spokesperson Raj Shah said in a statement that the administration “did not have any input into the design and manufacture of the coin” ...yeah... uh-huh. I believe that one.

I can't bring myself to read/address the immigrant children being separated from their parents, and how much of a bigoted weasel Jeff Sessions is... so I'll post this here instead, because I think it's another UGLY coin. As well as what the item description says: WH Gift Shop website, Trump challenge coin. #1) I think it's a horrible depiction of Trump. #2) Item description: " Challenge your friends to prove their loyalty to our President by asking for a "coin check." President Donald J. Trump Presidential seal challenge coin makes a great gift."

Is there a suggested salute and/or secret handshake to go with it? Yikes. Does he approve these things?

Another petty move by the toddler president.

Finally a bipartisan action!! Senate panel overwhelmingly approves amendment blocking Trump on ZTEBY HARPER NEIDIG - 05/22/18 12:16 PM EDT A Senate panel on Tuesday rebuked President Trump's efforts to ease sanctions on the Chinese telecom firm ZTE, which the intelligence community and trade regulators have warned poses a national security risk for the U.S. The Senate Banking Committee approved an amendment in an overwhelming and bipartisan 23-2 vote that would block Trump from easing sanctions on ZTE without first certifying to Congress that the company is complying with U.S. law. ** The move comes the same day The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration and China are closing in on a deal to ease off ZTE in exchange for trade concessions. That report raised concerns among lawmakers of both parties who have advocated for a crackdown on Chinese technology companies. “If the president and his team won’t follow through on tough sanctions against ZTE, it’s up to Congress to ensure that it happens," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. ** In response to Tuesday's Journal report, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in a tweet that the move would constitute a surrender to China and promised to work on "veto-proof congressional action."More at link: thehill.com/policy/technology/388791-senate-panel-overwhelmingly-approves-amendment-blocking-trump-on-zte

This seems to be a warped version. In the military coins are given out by high ranking people, visiting VIPs for example or the commanding officer or command Sgt Major etc for a job well done and a “coin check” is jokingly done say at a bar, and the person with the lower ranking person’s coin buys the round. It’s more for show and tell and bragging rights, not loyalty.

oh, yay- another win for the swamp people! The House just sent the bill loosening bank regulations to Trump's desk- the House passed it by a vote of 258 - 159. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ here's another random thing I just saw on the WH Gift Shop website: a bobblehead of DT, 'standing proud with his thumb up, valiantly standing above a colorful Great Seal' with his name on the base. Thing is, he's standing ON the Great Seal of the United States. sort of fitting, no? (considering he's trampling all these long-established Presidential norms, and all... )

No one should be buying themselves a challenge coin except as a souvenir. Not to be used in a challenge. So crass.
