This has been floating around on twitter this morning. And it’s based on a NY Times story. My question is at the end of the day, in a country of 320M, who really cares? “NEW from me: The first big misstep of the 2020 race may have already happened. How Sen. Warren's decision to take a DNA test shocked her own advisers, and ignited criticism among a progressive community used to praising her. Some now want an apology” Yes I understand members of the tribe might be upset. But other then that who cares? She had a DNA test that showed she had some Native American blood in her. So what? I’m not a supporter of Elizabeth Warren but if the Democrats make this an issue it’s another example of them being stupid. And stupid does not win elections. 2016 Sorry, that was stupid+evil. A totally winning combination!

My my my............. Undocumented immigrant makes President Trump’s bed at his N.J. golf course, New York Times reportsUpdated 3:16 PM; Posted 2:09 PM A housekeeper who has spent five years cleaning President Donald Trump’s toilet and making his bed at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster is an immigrant living in the country illegally, according to a New York Times report. Victorina Morales, of Bound Brook, said she left Guatemala and illegally crossed the border into the U.S. in 1999, then got a job at Trump’s golf club in 2013 using phony documents. Another woman, Sandra Diaz, a native of Costa Rica, also said she was undocumented when she worked at the golf club from 2010 to 2013, the report said. She is now a legal resident of the U.S. Both women say there are multiple unauthorized immigrant workers at Trump’s golf club, where he has a two-story residence. “There are many people without papers,” Diaz told the New York Times. The women allege their supervisors helped them evade authorities so they could keep their jobs, the report said. However, there is no evidence Trump or top executives at his company knew some of their workers were in the country illegally.Trump, who has made fighting illegal immigration one of the focuses of his presidency, has previously said his companies employ no undocumented immigrants.** www.nj.com/news/2018/12/undocumented-immigrant-makes-president-trumps-bed-at-his-nj-golf-course-new-york-times-reports.htmlHow's that saying go , ignorance is not an excuse?!?!?!?!

Click through to read all about Barr, who was obviously chosen because ... well, you'll see. also for the fact that they'll likely use the George HW Bush connection to garner good-will / sympathy for him as a pick. (you know, the whole "if he was good enough for Bush" and "everyone thinks Bush is so great right now" then "he's a fine pick for Trump" kind of thing...)

Now This...
“Trump's pick to set the nation's energy policy Bernard McNamee thinks fossil fuels lead to a 'clean environment”
Yea he said it. There was a video attached to this tweet.
Only an absolute idiot would believe that fossil fuel leads to a clean environment. All you have to do is look at cities like Beijing to know that isn’t true.
Rep Joe Kennedy III
“As FERC commissioner, Bernard McNamee will choose fossil fuels over the future of our planet every time. His record made that abundantly clear. GOP Senate voted to confirm him today anyways. Now, let's remember the name of every Senator who chose to follow his path.”

Bradley Whitford...
“Hey @speakerryan, why did you accuse Democrats of cheating in California when they didn’t and you’re silent when Republicans get caught cheating in North Carolina? And why are you silent when Wisconsin Republicans subvert the will of the people? Where you gonna be a lobbyist?”
Good questions.

Another one with Russian connections: ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL WITH TIES TO RUSSIAN BANK RECUSED FROM MUELLER INVESTIGATIONPUBLISH DATE: DECEMBER 6, 2018 Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker’s position at the Department of Justice continues to draw scrutiny from both Congress and watchdog groups, as does that of Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski, who previously represented the Russian entity Alfa Bank and has been screened off from the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference. On Wednesday, American Oversight filed a new Freedom of Information Act request for DOJ documents regarding Whitaker’s appointment. The day before, Senate Democrats sent a letter to the DOJ asking for information about the treatment of Whitaker’s financial and political conflicts of interest. In the letter, the senators also noted that the DOJ had provided insufficient information about Benczkowski. ** The senators also focused on Whitaker’s delayed financial disclosures as well as his past work as the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a conservative group with undisclosed funding. After Whitaker’s appointment, American Oversight began digging into his political and financial conflicts of interest, seeking his recusals and ethics determinations as well as any communications between him and the White House regarding the Mueller investigation. ** www.americanoversight.org/assistant-attorney-general-with-ties-to-russian-bank-recused-from-mueller-investigation

Robert McNees....
“If you write an article about Paul Ryan and conclude anything other than "he is sad because he didn't get to hurt enough poor people" then you have missed the point of Paul Ryan.”
This I believe.

It would appear trump is having a bit of a meltdown...
“Does the Fake News Media ever mention the fact that Republicans, with the very important help of my campaign Rallies, WON THE UNITED STATES SENATE, 53 to 47? All I hear is that the Open Border Dems won the House. Senate alone approves judges & others. Big Republican Win!”
“Jerome Corsi: ”This is not justice, this is not America. This is a political prosecution. The Special Prosecutor (Counsel), to get this plea deal, demanded I lie and violate the law. They’re the criminals.” He is not alone. 17 Angry Dems. People forced to lie. Sad! @trish_Regan”
“Trish_Regan: “Did the FBI follow protocol to obtain the FISA warrant? I don’t think so. The Dossier was opposition research funded by opponents. Don’t use Government resources to take down political foes. Weaponizing Government for gain.” Is this really America? Witch Hunt!”
“FAKE NEWS - THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!”
“Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area. WE WILL NOT LET THEM THROUGH. Big danger. Nancy and Chuck must approve Boarder Security and the Wall!”
And watching Fox News apparently.

Look who is concerned about voter fraud now? But what he did in Kansas was ok? What is going on in Georgia is ok? Kobach ‘very concerned’ voter fraud may have happened in North CarolinaBY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 12/06/18 09:50 PM EST Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) said Thursday Republican voter fraud may have affected the House race in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District. Kobach, an ally of President Trump who served on a voter integrity panel, became one of the most prominent Republicans to publicly express alarm in an interview with the Washington Post. “Based on what I have read, I am very concerned that voter fraud did occur,” said Kobach, who recently lost the race for Kansas governor. He said it was unclear whether the alleged wrongdoing was broad enough to change the outcome of the election. The North Carolina election has been mired in controversy since multiple voters have emerged with sworn statements saying that their absentee ballots were hand collected by canvassers, which is prohibited in the state. ** MOre at link: thehill.com/homenews/campaign/420192-kobach-very-concerned-voter-fraud-may-have-happened-in-north-carolina

Julian Sanchez..
“Until 2017, Nauert was a Fox & Friends host. Which I guess is a logical background for a Trump admin spokesperson, but seems like a weird fit for U.N. Ambassador.”
Eric Geller...
“Obama's second UN ambassador Samantha Power was a former war correspondent, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Harvard professor, and senior NSC staffer.
Elections have consequences, folks.”

ANOTHER tidbit of Trump-world that soooo many people were already fully aware of! I'm waiting to hear about 1 of the maids who supposedly had his baby and he kept her there working for him, but no one was allowed to look at her or ask her questions......... Hope it'll come out. As far as Trump hiring undocumented workers, he's been doing it forever. It's 1 more bit of leverage to use against them so he doesn't have to pay! His dear old dad taught him that trick! Trump wound up not paying the hard working undocumented workers who built his Trump Tower. They had no recourse. Lovely.

THIS is why I adore her...... Love it! He’s off the rails. What is astounding to me is that he takes more than ten minutes to compose these tweets and he still sounds unhinged and is difficult to follow. Eta: I often have cognitive issues and recognize that if I don’t take time when writing and speaking it can be hard to follow me. But over ten minutes? Not for nothing, I think my cognitive issues should prevent me from being POTUS, and I’m no where near as bad off as he is.
