A CNN analysis has found that embattled Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt paid himself nearly $65,000 in reimbursements from his two campaigns for Oklahoma attorney general, a move at least one election watchdog has sharply criticized as being recorded so vaguely that there was no way to tell if such payments were lawful.

In my morning head slap moment, there was a lawyer explaining that an out card for Trump and Stormy Daniels in respect of FEC violations is that he has a history of paying women for their silence after a sexual affair. His thinking is that this is essentially business as usual, and there is a pattern, so doing it during the campaign to buy silence to advance an agenda is just part of business as usual.

3.9% unemployment. 164K added. Business IT, Medical, and Metal Fabrication are the big winners. The big loser continues to be wage growth. Labor market growth without paying market rate should trend the market back up. That said, this is a 6 or 7 year thing, and the basic laws of economics cannot be ignored forever.

"He's learning the subject matter. He's going to be issuing a statement, too," Trump said of the former New York City mayor, on the White House South Lawn. "He started yesterday. He'll get his facts straight."

Once he arrived at Joint Base Andrews, Trump again defended Giuliani to reporters, saying he's a "special guy" who is just beginning on the job. "When Rudy made the statements -- Rudy is great -- but Rudy had just started, and he wasn't totally familiar with everything," Trump said. "We love Rudy, a special guy, he really understands that this is a witch hunt. He understands that probably better than anybody," Trump said on the tarmac ahead of a trip to Dallas to speak at the National Rifle Association convention.

It is truly breathtaking how fucking dishonest and corrupt this Administration is.

CNN's April Ryan misquotes Sarah Sanders to imply she wanted physical fight: 'It was street'

- Fox News

This is tragic because Fox is misquoting April Ryan to make it something it was not.

"It was a moment. She took this personally [being accused of being blindsided] and it was not a personal attack," Ryan said in a CNN interview that followed a testy exchange during Thursday's press briefing. "She admitted at that podium just moments ago and I'm sure she's watching in her office, 'Hi, Sarah,' that she literally said at that podium that she heard Rudy Giuliani while we heard it."

"She was watching, she found out all of the information while she was watching Fox last night. So she was blindsided. This was not a personal attack on her. And for her to say something like, 'You don't know me' — that was very street," Ryan said.

"I know there are street politics here but that was very street. I've been here 21 years from this White House, from the second term of Bill Clinton until the first term of Donald J. Trump. I've seen impeachment, I've seen war, I've seen peace. So I understand the process. I'm not a dummy and do not discredit me. That's what my comeback was," Ryan said.

Eric Swalwell hopes that while DJT is in Dallas that honors the police officers who lost their lives when they were out gunned by an assailant with an assault rifle.

Pretty brutal challenge, but will be summarily ignored.

I hear Trump on the radio at the NRA, full endorsement for Ted Cruz, which is hilarious. And he's all excited because diamondandsilk are there.

It is kust rhetoric

Wow, sounds like Trump paid off the judge assigned to the Manafort trial.

by **traderdave** » Fri May 04, 2018 16:58:44

That was something, wasn't it? I mean, the guy's words sound like they are coming out of Trump's mouth. Anyway, Adolf isn't available for comment because he is in TX speaking in tongues and riling up the base:

"You have an administration fighting to protect your Second Amendment ... your Second Amendment rights are under siege, but they will never, ever be under siege as long as I'm your president"

Fucking Yogi Berra ova er.

Trump says immigration laws were written by people who ‘could not love our country’

God help us.

The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for Hondurans who have been allowed to live and work in the United States since 1999, following a hurricane that ravaged their country. With an estimated 86,000 people currently registered, Hondurans represent the second-largest group of foreigners who have benefited from the program.

He got the Haitians and Nicaraguans, add the Hondurans then move on to the other Spanish speakers.

It's all about that base, bout that base, such racists..

Donald Trump wrote:Democrats and liberals in Congress want to disarm law-abiding Americans at the same time they are releasing dangerous criminal aliens and savage gang members onto our streets. Politicians who put criminal aliens before American Citizens should be voted out of office!

Donald Trump wrote:We are going to demand Congress secure the border in the upcoming CR. Illegal immigration must end!

super excited for him to balk at this or to actually shut the government down.

Uncle Milty wrote:Since Donnie is from a family who immigrated to the USofA I'd like him to gtfo of my country

This rhetoric does not apply to white people. Would there be an uproar if DHS swept up all the J~1 VISA overstays? That group full of white European women.

Dallas Mayor pro tem Dwain Caraway is a great guest on CNN. Deep bass voice with an even better laugh that he deploys against stupidity. Had me laughing along. He was on a panel with Georgia Governor Candidate Mike William, and was chuckling over the suggestion the he will deploy a good guy with a gun to every door of a school.

Sloppy math says over 2200 schools, each school is going to have, what, 10 doors? Call it 220,000 good guys with a gun. When asked how he’d pay for it, they would be volunteers. Retired cops and military. What a dumb idea.
