    It's probably on the Miami Herald website. I saw it there & couldn't believe how foolish he looked. Everyone in the room was at attention & he acted like the disrespectful POS he is.

    A routine check of Tallahassee International Airport's long-term parking lot led to the discovery of a body inside a vehicle. I was surprised they only found one body.

    Some tourists don't make it home from Florida.

    Trump's SOTU lost 30 million viewers from last year which is a decline of 21%.

    America is finally waking up to his bullshit.

    As George Costanza would say "Major Shrinkage."

    Can't wait to see how these complicit cowardly GOP Senators react when more damming evidence of Trump's actions leak out. I can hear it now "Oh, we knew he was a bad guy but I just didn't have the balls to call him out back then."

    Not only are they cowards, they are inebriated with greed, power & self interest. Off camera &off  the record these creeps all act like tough guys but they exhibited how weak they truly are to the entire nation.

    There was never a chance that 2/3rd's would vote to convict. But they knew that witnesses and documents could not be defended against. They were ruled by fear rather than their conscience.

    And that's not good for any of us.

    That's ok.  All anybody's talking about is Nancy's behavior in ripping up the Address.   I'm sure that's gonna go over well w the Independent Voters who will decide the outcome of the next election.   She really is losing her marbles.   That's a stunt I would expect AOC to pull

    The U.S. government implemented final management plans Thursday for two national monuments in Utah that President Donald Trump downsized. The plans ensure lands previously off-limits to energy development will be open to mining and drilling despite pending lawsuits by conservation, tribal and paleontology groups challenging the constitutionality of the president’s action. Trump is taking this action even though this is being litigated in the courts.

    It took President Petty less than 48 hours to go after the environment in Mitt's state of Utah.

    Bill Barr has said, 1) Since Presidents can't be indicted they should not be investigated. 2) He personally gets to approve any investigation into presidential campaign finance crime. 1+2 = immunity for cheating on an election.

    Business as usual.

    The Vindman brothers were escorted off the WH grounds today. Retaliation against a witness is a federal crime but nothing will happen. Trump's move is vindictive and petty. This is a slap in the face to everyone currently in the service and to all who have served. 

    Secretary of Defense Mark Esper is the newest gutless wonder coming into the light. He fits in well with the complicit GOP cowards. 

    Trump sends the message "Does anyone else want to speak up? Do so at your own peril."

    You Trump farkers must be so proud of your POS!

    This is from our weakling Florida Senator Rubio....

    "Col. Vindman wasn’t “fired” he’s still an Army officer. He was assigned to NSC to serve the President who has a right to have people he trusts on his staff Sondland was a politically appointee. No point in having a political appointee who no longer has the Presidents confidence."

    Hey Marco..no one gives a fark about Sondland. You can make up any excuse you want for Trump's actions but EVERYONE realizes what took place today. Vindman should have the shrapnel still in his body taken out & shoved up Trump's fat ass.

    Little Marco got a whole lot smaller today.

    The Secret Service is required to tell Congress twice a year about what it spends to protect Trump at his properties. But since 2016, it has only filed two of the required six reports.

    GOP Oklahoma Senator Lankford is the head of the Oversight Committee.

    WTF? How is our government falling apart all at the same time?

    Lt. Col. Vindman is a Purple Heart recipient, war hero, public servant, punished for doing the right thing. Shame on Congress for enabling Trump's corruption. Shame on cowards like Bolton, Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, Coats, Tillerson and Anonymous for profiting via their books and public appearances. You were all in positions of power and you allowed this to happen. You all walked away but you'll never escape your souls and your consciences.

    The wrong family was escorted out of the WH today.

    U.S. Attorney General William Barr said the United States and its allies should consider taking a ‘controlling stake’ in Finland’s Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson to counter Huawei’s dominance in next-generation 5G telecoms technology.

    Looks who's spewing Socialist ideas.

    Vice President Pence defends deficit expansion under Trump as necessary for economic growth.

    Just let that percolate in your brain for a minute or two.

    The FBI has elevated its assessment of the threat posed by racially motivated  violent extremists in the U.S. to a "national threat priority" for fiscal year 2020, FBI director Christopher Wray said Wednesday. He said the FBI is placing the risk of violence from such groups "on the same footing" as threats posed to the country by foreign terrorist organizations such as ISIS and its sympathizers.

    "Not only is the terror threat diverse — it's unrelenting," Wray said at an oversight hearing before the House Judiciary Committee.

    Racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, or domestic terrorists motivated by racial or religious hatred, make up a "huge chunk" of the FBI's domestic terrorism investigations, Wray said in statements before the Senate Homeland Security Committee last November. The majority of those attacks are "fueled by some type of white supremacy," he said.

    Trump knowingly helps fuels this fire. I see this getting worse before it gets better. You can get the entire article on cbs.com.

    Don't be surprised if DOJ Inspector General Michael Atkinson is next in the line of Trump's retribution firings. He's the person who forwarded the whistleblower report to Congress. 

    Trump will use his usual cast of cretins (Gaetz, Nunes, Meadows, Jordan, McConnell etc etc) to eliminate anyone in government that disagrees or question his actions.

    As a country we are headed in the wrong direction.

    Trump's state of the union speech is full of questionable claims according to fact checking by NBC, New York times, politifact and Associated press.  First, 7 million new jobs since 2016?  Trump is taking credit for jobs created during Obama's term.  Since Trump took office, 6.7 million jobs created in 3 years.  But 8.2 million jobs created in last 3 years of Obama administration according to Bureau of labor statistics.

    Secondly, 300,000 people left the work force during Obama's 8 years?  Actually, the work force grew by  millions. Third,  thousands of new factories?  Growing number of mostly small factories have been underway since 2013.  However net loss of 12,000 manufacturing jobs in 2019.  Fourth, USMCA deal would create 100,000 auto jobs?  Estimate of 28,000 job gains according to US international trade commission.  Unclear if there is going to be a positive impact on jobs according to Peterson institute. Future risk USWCA could ultimately push more manufacturing and jobs outside North America.

    Fifth, more people are working now than at any time in US history?  Total number is higher because of larger population.  Proportion of working people is higher in other decades.  Sixth, rising wages after decades of falling incomes?  Real wages adjusted for inflation have increased during previous presidents.  Average weekly earnings up 4.9% in Obama's last 4 years.  Up 4.2% for Bush.  Up 6.4% for Clinton.  Up 2.6% for Trump. 

    Seventh, real median household income is at highest level ever recorded?  Census bureau note that is partly due to a change in survey question.  Adjusted figures show income higher in 1999 than in 2018.  Eighth, reversal of failed economic policies of previous administration?  Actually, Trump inherited a strong economy.  Most economists credit Obama for the longest economic expansion in US history.  According to Bloomberg, greater jobs creation, GDP growth and stock gains in Obama's last term.
