“WALLACE: If Trump takes Russian interference seriously, then why did he say 'Putin was extremely strong & powerful' in his denial of it during their joint presser in Helsinki?
BOLTON: Well, the president misspoke a number of times during that news conference.”
Prompted this reply from Jordan..
“Republicans mercilessly attacked Obama for accidentally saying “57 states” and held him to an objectively absurd standard where he was beyond forgiveness but are totally fine with Trump routinely “misspeaking” with negative geopolitical implications as a consequence.”
I remember that because someone brought that up in a negative way when we were having a discussion about President Obama.

“A local regulatory agency is nearing a decision on whether to recommend a review of Trump International Hotel's liquor license after seven D.C. residents filed a complaint arguing that the hotel's owner (Trump) is "not of good character."
”Not of good character” I love this. 😀

The wall, the wall, more about the wall!! Report: Trump admin in danger of wasting billions on border wallBy Rene Marsh and Gregory Wallace, CNN Updated 2:34 PM ET, Mon August 6, 2018 Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is at risk of wasting some of the billions of dollars it wants to spend on the US-Mexico border wall, according to a watchdog report released Monday. The Government Accountability Office concluded that the Department of Homeland Security has not conducted a full analysis of the costs of building the wall. Department officials have also not properly documented their plans for building a portion of wall in the San Diego area. Because of the shortfalls, "DHS faces an increased risk that the Border Wall System Program will cost more than projected, take longer than planned, or not fully perform as expected," GAO wrote. The report also said DHS does not consider costs when deciding where to build. That means it "does not have complete information to determine whether it is using its limited resources in the most cost-effective manner." ** A non-public version of the report released on Monday contained "information that DHS deemed sensitive," because it would reveal law enforcement information or proprietary details of the contracting process, according to GAO. ** www.cnn.com/2018/08/06/politics/border-wall-waste-gao/index.htmlThey haven't made the proper studies? Who knew? The best person is in charge? #Bebest!

“Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky said he asked Rand Paul to speak out in defense of Mariia Butina.
“If you, Senator Paul, are able to raise your voice in defense of Mariia ... you would show yourself to be a real man,” Interfax reported Slutsky saying.”
Isn’t she the woman we arrested for being a Russian spy? So if Rand Paul speaks out in defense of woman his country arrested for spying then he will be a “real man”.
Now that is pretty funny on several levels.😀

No wonder trump chose him.
CNN...
“Trump Supreme Court pick: Presidents can ignore laws they think are unconstitutional”
“CNN) Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2013 asserted that it's a "traditional exercise" of presidential power to ignore laws the White House views as unconstitutional, as he defended the controversial practice of signing statements prevalent in George W. Bush's White House.
The comments could put a renewed focus on Kavanaugh's time serving as White House staff secretary, who had a role in coordinating Bush's statements accompanying legislation he signed into law. Critics contend that the Bush White House abused the use of signing statements to ignore laws passed by Congress, though Bush and his allies said such statements were no different than the practices of other administrations.
Democrats have demanded full access to documents from Kavanaugh's tenure as staff secretary from 2003-2006 as part of his Supreme Court vetting process, citing in part his role over the Bush signing statements. But Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, has rejected those demands, saying they are irrelevant to his nomination and a Democratic attempt to drag out the vetting process, which already includes hundreds of thousands of pages from other aspects of his career.”

And then there is this. Why aren’t I surprised.
From the NY Attorney General’s office
“A.G. Underwood Files Suit Against Trump Department Of Labor Over Failure To Provide Records About New Amnesty Program For Employers Who Violate Labor Laws”
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood filed a lawsuit today against the U.S. Department of Labor for failing to respond as required by law to records requests concerning a new program that allows employers who violate labor laws to avoid prosecution and penalties. Today’s suit asks the court to compel the Department of Labor to respond to the Attorney General’s request for information sent to the agency in April 2018 related to the Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) Program.
“The PAID Program is nothing more than a get-out-of-jail-free card for predatory employers,” said Attorney General Underwood. “New York workers have a right to know why the Secretary of Labor decided to let employers off the hook when they don’t pay their workers. The Labor Department failed to provide required information — so we’re taking them to court to get the information to which we are legally entitled.”
The Attorney General’s information request, submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor on April 11, 2018 pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), sought information relating to the Attorney General’s concern that the PAID Program would erode workers’ rights by allowing employers to evade prosecution and penalties for wage theft under state labor laws that are more protective than federal law. The request additionally sought agency records concerning the development, implementation, consideration, and evaluation of the PAID Program, including communications with employers. To date, the Labor Department has failed to provide any agency records in response to the FOIA request.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York today, alleges that the Labor Department has failed to provide required information in response to the Attorney General’s request within the statutorily prescribed time limit. Under FOIA, a federal agency must respond within 20 business days after receipt of a request with a determination that must at least inform the requester of the scope of the documents that the agency will produce. As alleged in the complaint, the Labor Department has failed to provide the Attorney General with any such determination, more than 100 days since the date of the request.
In a letter sent to Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta and signed by ten other Attorneys General, the Attorney General’s office voiced concerns about the PAID Program when it was first launched in April. The letter to Secretary Acosta raised multiple concerns about the PAID Program, including that it releases employers from the obligation to pay penalties, liquidated damages, and interest on overdue wages.
Additionally, the PAID Program appears not to require employers to pay employees at any applicable higher state or local minimum wage or overtime wage rates, or to pay wages owed during longer state statute of limitations periods. For a New York City fast food worker, for example, that could mean the difference between recovering wages at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour rather than the applicable state minimum of $13.50. Finally, the PAID Program encourages employers to have employees sign separate releases to settle claims under state law – yet the Department of Labor refuses to oversee such state-law settlements to ensure their fairness.
This matter is being handled for Attorney General Underwood by Assistant Attorney General Kevin Lynch, under the supervision of Labor Bureau Civil Enforcement Section Chief Mayur Saxena. The Labor Bureau is led by Bureau Chief ReNika Moore and Deputy Bureau Chief Julie Ulmet. The Executive Deputy Attorney General for the Social Justice Division is Matthew Colangelo.

"Rick writes: “Everything we Never Trump folks warned you of, including massive, decades-long downstream election losses, is coming. Alienating African Americans and Hispanics beyond redemption? Check. Raising a generation of young voters who are fleeing the GOP in droves? Check. Age-old beefs, juvenile complaints, and ego bruises taking center stage while the world burns? Check. Playing public footsie with white supremacists and neo-Nazis? Check. Blistering pig-ignorance about the economy and the world? Check. … Shredding the last iota of the GOP’s credibility as a party that cares about debt, deficits, and fiscal probity? Check.”"

I think I remember hearing about that very thing- hiring people to attend the rallies-- a while ago when DJT held a rally or speech here in Phoenix. It wouldn't surprise me in the LEAST. They probably get paid $20-25, and get a free tee-shirt (like that Russia is better than Democrat one). You know, if that's true, it's almost more palatable to me than thinking there are actually people out there who WANT to attend his rallies and act like fools (because they are fools).

Rudy Giuliani...
“63 murders this weekend in Rahm Emmanuel’s Chicago. His legacy more murders in his city than ever before. It’s only because of Democrat brain washing that he has even a chance of remaining. Support police professional Garry McCarthy.”
Prompted this response From PolitiFact...
“63 murders? @politifactil found that to be five times the actual count and rated this claim Pants on Fire: bit.ly/2LXvuri”
Why do they think they have to lie lie lie, that is all the right does anymore. Wasn’t that one of the grips against Hillary was lying? Well folks, now you are seeing what real lying is, day after day after day.

So he has downgraded Canada from ally to “partner”...just like Saudi Arabia.
One country who caused 911, and one who sheltered victims of it for weeks.
Yeah, he is just a peach isn't he? He will not rest until the only countries left as his allies are China and Russia.

Again with the lying..
trump...
“California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!”
Prompted this rating from PolitiFact...
“President Trump claimed in a tweet that California’s wildfires are "made so much worse by the bad environmental laws" which prevent firefighters from accessing water. He added in the tweet that water "is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean."
Trump appears to have conflated the state’s real water controversy between farmers and environmentalists with the unrelated issue of firefighting. The state’s fire agency, CalFire, said it has not had problems accessing water. And fire experts said it’s the state’s hot and bone-dry conditions, not environmental laws, that are making blazes more extreme.
We rated Trump’s claim False.“

Expect the lying to ramp up and increase as Mueller gets closer. He will unravel like a ball of string.
It's going to get worse as he feels the walls closing in.

Seriously, I saw a chart listing countries trusted by the United States of America and Canada was #2, Great Britain was #1. And Saudi Arabia was #126. I am so disgusted by the damage the GOP is doing to international relations.
