You gotta love twitter...
Scott Shovan to Don Cheadle
”@doncheadle I have long admired your acting chops and am a fan however, I would really like to know specifically what it is that makes you hate our president with such fervor. Not trolling, just asking a sincere question. Be blessed!
Don Cheadle...
“i don't hate him. i hate that he's the president. there's a difference.”
Derek responding to both...
”What kind of decent person has to ask such a question? If you haven’t figured out who Donald Trump is by now someone should assume all your responsibilities.”

More from Fed pic Moore! Women still make less then men for doing the same job in many places!! Stephen Moore, President Trump's embattled pick for the Federal Reserve Board, said Tuesday that the biggest issue facing the economy is a decline in male earnings.Moore was questioned on CNBC’s “Squawk Box" about a piece he wrote for National Review in the early 2000s in which he worried about a society where women earned more than men. “The biggest problem I see in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened to male earnings, for black males and white males as well,” Moore said Tuesday, according to CNBC. “They’ve been declining. That is, I think, a big problem.” “I want everybody’s wages to rise, of course. People are talking about women’s earnings. They’ve risen,” he added. ** “Here's the rule change I propose: No more women refs, no women announcers, no women beer vendors, no women anything,” he wrote in March 2002, a stance he defended in several other columns. Moore said on Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week” that he was “embarrassed” by some of the things he had written but called himself the victim of a “smear campaign” and “character assassination” by people who do not want to see him on the Fed board. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/441369-trump-fed-pick-biggest-issue-facing-economy-is-decline-in-male** Add this in from the CNN piece from the same interview Tuesday: During a radio interview last Tuesday, Moore compared himself to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation last year was marked by allegations he had committed sexual assault as a teenager. In one interview he said that reporters covering him at various news outlets -- including CNN -- are "pulling a Kavanaugh against me."** www.cnn.com/2019/04/30/politics/male-wages-stephen-moore-fed/index.htmlHe calls this a smear campaign. It is his mouth and ideas that get him in trouble!

I’m guessing here, when “twitter” was created, it was never imagined that it would be used by a president of one country to threaten another country.
trump...
” If Cuban Troops and Militia do not immediately CEASE military and other operations for the purpose of causing death and destruction to the Constitution of Venezuela, a full and complete....“
”embargo, together with highest-level sanctions, will be placed on the island of Cuba. Hopefully, all Cuban soldiers will promptly and peacefully return to their island!”
Seriously?

MSNBC: Mueller told AG Barr his remarks failed to capture "context, nature and substance of probe"
There was a letter written followed by a phone call from Mueller to Barr..... Asked why he had not released the 4 summaries..
They are talking about how this after comments are MOST unusual from Mueller!
It is on the Washington Post... someone want to read it?!?!?!?!
ETA: Now we know why Barr has been trying to back out of testimony before the HOuse on Thursday... let us see what happens in the Senate tomorrow where Graham has said he doesn't care what Barr said or did!

I know so many very religious people, both in my family and others, who believe Trump was chosen by God. Many of those same folks also were convinced that Obama was the Anti-Christ.
Yes, dumbfounded is a good word.

Treasury Wants to Hire Monica Crowley. Her Last Boss Was an Oligarch Probed by Mueller.Her work for Viktor Pinchuk could pose a conflict.April 29, 2019 Dan Friedman More than two years after she withdrew from consideration for a White House national security position amid plagiarism accusations, Fox News commentator Monica Crowley is reportedly set to take a job as chief spokeswoman for Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. But Crowley’s work in the interim has hardly made her less controversial. In 2017, she registered as a lobbyist for Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian billionaire whose large payments (for speeches) to prominent Americans, including Donald Trump, and apparent promotion of pro-Russian interests drew scrutiny from special counsel Robert Mueller. Crowley’s lobbying for Pinchuk could complicate her role as the top flack for an agency that is responsible for imposing and policing US sanctions on Russia and on a prominent Ukrainian leader tied to Pinchuk. In January 2017, Trump picked Crowley, a onetime research assistant for former President Richard Nixon who gained prominence as a conservative pundit, to head strategic communications for the National Security Council. Crowley announced she would not take the job following reports that she had plagiarized large sections of her 2012 book and her 2000 Ph.D. dissertation. “After much reflection I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities,” she said in a January 16, 2017, statement. Within a few weeks, according to filings with the Justice Department, Crowley had begun working with Douglas Schoen, a Democratic lobbyist with clients in Ukraine, to “provide outreach services” for Pinchuk, a steel magnate whose empire also includes media and banking holdings. A filing submitted by Schoen noted that Crowley had contacted a slew of prominent Republicans, including the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and Defense Secretary James Mattis on Pinchuk’s behalf. She also reported meeting with Pinchuk on February 2, 2017, in London to discuss “peace efforts involving Ukraine” and other topics. Those “peace efforts” sound like a reference to a plan that Pinchuk was promoting for settling the conflict resulting from Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Pinchuk presents himself as pro-Western, but his plan, which he detailed in a December 2016 Wall Street Journal op-ed, included a series of Ukrainian concessions aimed at appeasing Russia’s desire that Ukraine remain a buffer against the West. Pinchuk wrote that Ukraine should set aside efforts to enter the European Union, give up on joining NATO in favor of “neutrality,” and defer discussion of regaining Crimea, which Russian troops had seized, as part of a settlement. ** In recent years, Pinchuk has worked to cultivate Trump and senior Republicans. In 2015, Pinchuk paid $150,000 to the Trump Foundation for Trump to deliver brief remarks, via Skype, to a Kiev conference funded by Pinchuk’s charitable foundation, which bankrolls various cultural causes in Ukraine. Mueller reportedly investigated the circumstances of that payment, though it is not mentioned in the portions of his report made public. Before joining the White House, Trump national security adviser John Bolton received $115,000 to participate in two panel discussions sponsored by Pinchuk. And Crowley arranged for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to speak at a June 2017 Pinchuk Foundation conference in Kiev. Giuliani, who reportedly receives at least $100,000 per speech, told Mother Jones his payment “was in line with” his standard fee but declined to specify the amount. From February 2017 to January 2018, Crowley received at least $15,000 per month from a Pinchuk firm, EastOne Group, according to the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Act filings. It’s not clear if she has officially ceased working for Pinchuk. ** www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/04/treasury-wants-to-hire-monica-crowley-her-last-boss-was-an-oligarch-probed-by-mueller/Oh what a tangled web they weave!!

Where's the tangled web? So he wants to hire her, doesn't say he did nor does the author of the article have any way of knowing if she would accept if offered. While he's quick to point out payments for speeches by people associated with Trump I notice he doesn't make any reference to the $2 million Pinchuk has given to the Clinton Foundation or that both Bill and Hillary have spoken at his annual global conference at Yalta. I seriously doubt they did it for free. There's always more to a story and it doesn't take much to find it. The post further up regarding the company that supplies voting machines to Maryland is a good example. What was posted made it appear that this just recently occurred when in fact it happened in 2015. link

Did anyone catch Rachel Maddow last night and her interview with the AG of NY State? I'd say Trump is going to be facing some serious state charges once he leaves office.

This is interesting. Yesterday Trump threatened Cuba, via Twitter, with sanctions and an embargo if they didn't withdraw troops from Venezuela.
Then the chancellor of Cuba tweeted this in response:
WTH is going on? Does Cuba have troops supporting Maduro in Venezuela? Or not?

• Lied 19 times • Said trump supported Mueller 13 times • Attacked Hillary 5 times • Lied about Hillary 9 times • Told 4 jokes nobody laughed at • Said “Fucking” once • Giggled at saying “fucking” once”
I wonder what the Republicans do if they didn’t have Hillary?

”According to Barr if you feel like you are being investigated unfairly you can obstruct an investigation, and the fact that investigators are prevented from obtaining evidence because of your obstruction and don't ultimately charge you is evidence that you were right to obstruct.”
Nice recap.

”Wild from Barr: If the president feels a proceeding is unfounded, "the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate the proceeding and it would not be a corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused."
I don’t even know how to respond to this one. Unbelievable.

ABC News...
”Before ending about four hours of testimony, the attorney general recounted in detail his discussion with Robert Mueller after the special counsel sent a letter to Barr complaining that he failed to “capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office’s work and conclusions.”
During what Barr described as a 10-15 minute phone conversation, Barr said he told Mueller: “I said ‘Bob, what's with the letter? Why don't you just pick up the phone and call me if there's an issue?’”
When Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal asked for notes from the phone call –- the existence of which was confirmed by Barr -– the attorney general snapped back, “Why should you have them?”
”Referring to Mueller's March 27 letter, Barr said, “The letter is a bit snitty and I think it was probably written by one of his staff people.”
1. I doubt very much that the letter was written by a staff member.
2. The word “snitty” is not a word I would use to describe anything Robert Mueller does.

Kyle Griffin... Wild from Barr (paraphrasing here) If the president feels a proceeding intent is wrong because he was being falsely accused, he does not need to respond. I don’t even know how to respond to this one. Unbelievable. Editing mine. Good to know. Now tell that to everyone who has ever been accused of a crime. “We can throw out a case before investigating because we know the defendant is being falsely accused” Yeah, I am sure that is how our judicial system works. NOT! Only if you are trump apparently.
