I fucking hate trump, the GOP, trumps fucking family, and those who continue to support this fucking lying traitor of a piece of shit garbage. The fucking lie at every god damned turn and then twist their fucking lies upon others. They have solely made a fucking mockery of the office of potus. He’s a fucking traitor—“maybe he did it, maybe he didn’t” —GOD DAMMIT WHERE ARE THE FUCKING SPINES OF THE GOP? ?? if MBS bailed trump out of bankruptcy twice—he fucking deserves to be cut up into little pieces himself—putting his own business in front of the USA. I hope they all rot in hell. The sooner the better.

The Dow closed down 500+ points today wiping out all of the gains for 2018. I know some of my GOP friends have said they support Rump because of their 401K portfolio gains.
Well at least now he can't say, "The economy is booming!" anymore. (He will, but we know better.)
Dow down 500+ points
Also, the stock market is not the economy (even though Trump thinks it is).

If you haven't seen this.... Check this out..... Strange man to say the least.. Politics 11/14/18 7:39pm Read time: 2 minutes Whitaker's Strange Past: Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Toilets For Large Trouser SnakesOne of the products sold is a special toilet for the "well endowed" man. Yes, you read that right. By Red Painter Matthew Whitaker is a weird dude. I don't know what else to say anymore. Mother Jones dropped an absolutely crazypants story about a product that Whitaker helped market - a "Masculine Toilet" which apparently had an extra specially designed toilet bowl to help “well-endowed men” prevent their oversized genitalia from hitting the lip of the bowl or --- gack -- the water.
Mother Jones quoted the press release from the company, World Patent Marketing: “The average male genitalia is between 5″ and 6. However, this invention is designed for those of us who measure longer than that.” The press release also mentioned that Matthew Whitaker was on the company's advisory board. His resume's most glowing previous job title was "former Iowa US Attorney and Republican candidate for United States Senate."
Since Whitaker's suspicious jump from chief of staff to Jeff Sessions to Acting A.G., reporters have been combing through his background and finding some bananas stuff. I mean, we are getting close to Infowars "gay frogs" territory here, guys.
In addition to these toilets for men with giant trouser snakes, the company also marketed a “theoretical time travel commodity tied directly to price of Bitcoin.” Mother Jones also reports that they sold Sasquatch dolls and claimed that they had DNA evidence that "proves that Bigfoot does exist.”
Oh, really?
The best of the story - and you guys are going to be SHOCKED by this - authorities discovered that World Patent Marketing was a big old scam. I AM STUNNED. They were shut down and fined $26,000,000....as in MILLIONS. So, $1,000,000 more than Trump University. crooksandliars.com/2018/11/acting-ag-whitakers-past-jobs-includeIf you haven’t already, check out Stephen Colbert’s show from last week. The episode originally ran on 11/14 and Ricky Gervais was one of the guests. The opening monologue is the funniest thing I have ever seen and goes over the Bigfoot stuff as well as the toilet. Hilarious!!

As if going to a lynching and suppressing to vote wasn't enough, now this............. Photo surfaces of Cindy Hyde-Smith posing with Confederate artifactsBy Caroline Kelly, CNN Updated 9:02 PM ET, Tue November 20, 2018 (CNN)Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith posed with Confederate artifacts in photos from 2014 that emerged Tuesday, the latest in a series of controversial moments for the freshman Republican senator who is facing a run-off next week. In a photo posted to her Facebook account in 2014, Hyde-Smith was pictured posing with Confederate artifacts. The caption on the post read, "Mississippi history at its best!"Hyde-Smith, who will face former Democratic Rep. Mike Espy in a Nov. 27 runoff election, posted the caption after touring Beauvoir, the home and library of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. In the post, Hyde-Smith appears in four photos posing with Confederate rifles, soldiers' hats and documents. "I enjoyed my tour of Beauvoir. The Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library located in Biloxi," she wrote in the post on her Facebook page. "This is a must see. Currently on display are artifacts connected to the daily life of the Confederate Soldier including weapons. Mississippi history at its best!" ** more at link: www.cnn.com/2018/11/20/politics/hyde-smith-confederate-artifacts-facebook-post/index.htmlAnother class act that dt is endorsing and will campaign for her ...........

"Had President Donald Trump been successful in launching prosecutions against Hillary Clinton and James Comey, it could have spelled the end of his presidency, as a clear-cut abuse of power. It never happened, apparently thwarted by then-White House Counsel Don McGahn and other senior officials. But that does not mean this is a crisis dodged for Trump and he is now free from fresh legal and political jeopardy. Quite the reverse." www.cnn.com/2018/11/21/politics/trump-hillary-clinton-james-comey-robert-mueller/index.html

Rep Joe Kennedy III
“A journalist killed on foreign soil. Nearly 100,000 Yemeni kids under the age of 5 dead from starvation. For this Administration, profits and praise from Saudi Arabia matter more than their murders and horrifying human rights abuses.”
He’s right.

Opinion piece in Newsweek written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Has America Become a Plutocracy? (to be perfectly honest, I had to look up the definition of Plutocrat and Plutocracy before I read the thing, but I think the op-ed piece definitely has some compelling reasoning in it.) a quote that jumped out at me: " Why would any nation opt for a system that could yield the rise to ultimate power of a belligerent and incurious man who doesn’t read books but instead gains office by his capacity to assemble money and wield the demagogic alchemies of racism, fear mongering and tribalism? The Economist reports a growing disillusionment with democracy worldwide; only 19 true democracies remain, a number that has fallen by six since 2006." (in 1785, America became the first democracy in modern history-- I had no idea. I was never much for US history, especially government, before Trump's election.) just found another interesting opinion piece, about Trump's lying-- how what he's doing isn't lying to convince people what he says is true (because the things are easily proven false) but a power thing-- because he's President he can say whatever he wants, and it doesn't MATTER whether the statement is actually true or not-- if told it's not true, he'll just shrug it off and ignore it instead of feeling bad or being ashamed of having the lie found out (like most reasonable people would). Why Does Trump get away with Lying?"As journalist Masha Gessen and others have argued, when Trump lies he does so not to get someone to accept what he’s saying as true, but to show that he is powerful enough to say it. " He has asserted, “I’m the President and you’re not,” as if such high political office comes with the prerogative of creating his own reality. This would explain why Trump doesn’t seem to care much if there is videotape or other evidence that contradicts him. When you’re the boss, what does that matter?

So much for her jokes............ AT&T asks Hyde-Smith to return donation after 'public hanging' commentBY ARIS FOLLEY - 11/21/18 02:35 PM EST AT&T is pulling its support from Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith's (R-Miss.) campaign and has requested the senator’s campaign return its donations. The telecom giant is among the latest companies to withdraw its support for Hyde-Smith after a video emerged earlier this month showing the senator saying she'd be in the "front row" of a "public hanging" if invited. A spokesman for AT&T, which reportedly donated $2,000 to the Mississippi Republican’s campaign, told The New York Daily News on Tuesday that it had asked for its campaign donations back. “We are no longer supporting Senator Hyde-Smith and have requested a refund of our campaign contributions,” the spokesman told the paper. The company joins several others that have also requested a refund of their contributions to Hyde-Smith’s campaign as she continues to face scrutiny over her "public hanging” remarks. Walmart, Pfizer, Union Pacific and Boston Scientific also cut their support for the senator this week and are seeking donation refunds, according to CNN. ** thehill.com/homenews/campaign/417879-att-asks-hyde-smith-to-return-donation-after-public-hanging-commentIt is also interesting how many large companies make smaller donations.

Read the title carefully!! White House chief of staff John Kelly signs off on use of force, law enforcement role for border troopsBy DENIS SLATTERY | NEW YORK DAILY NEWS |NOV 21, 2018 | 12:05 PM White House chief of staff John Kelly authorized troops stationed at the southern border to engage in some law enforcement activities and potentially to use deadly force — if necessary, according to a report Wednesday. The order, which may violate the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, was issued late Tuesday and not signed by President Trump, only Kelly, the Military Times reported.** According to the order, military personnel at the border are allowed to “perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary.” “Protective activities” include “a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention. and cursory search.” ** The Pentagon said Tuesday that stationing the troops along the border will cost taxpayers $72 million through Dec. 15. The order does not direct the military to carry out new tasks — but allows Defense Secretary James Mattis to expand the troops' duties at the request of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Mattis said Wednesday such detention would be measured in "minutes, not even hours," and does not mean troops would be performing law enforcement duties. He said the troops also could use lethal force, if necessary, to protect the border patrol. He added that he would only exercise such authority after receiving a specific request from the Department of Homeland Security. He said this has expanded his authority but not the military's border mission, which is still due to conclude in a little more than three weeks. In the “Cabinet memo,” Kelly justified the shift by writing that “credible evidence and intelligence” had suggested the migrants “may prompt incidents of violence and disorder.”** More at link: www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-pol-white-house-john-kelly-use-of-force-border-troops-20181121-story.html** White House approves use of force, some law enforcement roles for border troops
By: Tara Copp 6 hours ago Nov 21, 2018 Military TimesTrump admin moves to allow troops to use force, perform law enforcement at border The White House late Tuesday signed a memo allowing troops stationed at the border to engage in some law enforcement roles and use lethal force, if necessary — a move that legal experts have cautioned may run afoul of the Posse Comitatus Act. The new “Cabinet order” was signed by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, not President Donald Trump. It allows “Department of Defense military personnel” to “perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary” to protect border agents, including “a show or use of force (including lethal force, where necessary), crowd control, temporary detention. and cursory search.” ** Posse Comitatus is “always looming in the background. You never invoke it as such because it is such a background principle,” said William Banks, author of “Soldiers on the Home Front: The Domestic Role of the American Military” and the former director of the Institute for National Security and Counter-terrorism at Syracuse University’s College of Law. Defense officials said the language in the directive was carefully crafted to avoid running up against the bedrock legal limitations set in Posse Comitatus. The law was originally intended to protect the states from being controlled by federal troops. It has evolved into a singly defining, almost church versus state-type wall forbidding active-duty forces under the control of the president from conducting any types of crowd control or law enforcement domestically, essentially ensuring that the U.S. military is not used to control or defeat American citizens on U.S. soil. ** But the White House still may find itself in a legal challenge if the authorities in the memo are determined to be counter to the law, Banks said. “Even [an executive order] couldn’t overcome Posse Comitatus,” Banks said.** www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2018/11/21/white-house-approves-use-of-force-some-law-enforcement-roles-for-border-troops/

I guess trump is done golfing for the day..
Sorry Chief Justice John Roberts, but you do indeed have “Obama judges,” and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country. It would be great if the 9th Circuit was indeed an “independent judiciary,” but if it is why......
“are so many opposing view (on Border and Safety) cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers, they are shocking. We need protection and security - these rulings are making our country unsafe! Very dangerous and unwise!”
It’s clear trump doesn’t like the constitution and laws getting in his way. Changes are he doesn’t even understand why he looses in court.
And always drags in security to get what he wants. Even if there are no facts to back up his claims other than the “many people” who tell him stuff.

linkThe Daily Beast.. From the article “The House intelligence committee's incoming Democratic majority is taking its first steps to follow Donald Trump's money, The Daily Beast has learned. The committee is looking to hire money-laundering and forensic accounting experts, three sources familiar with the plans confirm to The Daily Beast. One Democratic committee office said the purpose of the potential new hires is to examine unanswered financial questions about Trump and Russia, but their work could apply broadly across the panel’s intelligence oversight.”“This indicates that likely chairman Adam Schiff’s stated interest in the intersection of financial crimes and intelligence threats isn’t just talk.”Follow the money and I still think they will eventually get the trump organization for money laundering.

I would think if the Democrats in the House found there was money laundering that can be tied back to trump and or his family, the Republicans will have to do something and not ignore it.
And I don’t mean bury or obstruct the investigation by doing something.
