For me, the Parkland children being belittled and abused in so many ways is utterly heartbreaking to witness. But they have been more adult than the adults in their response. They have shown us what faith means, and bravery. POTUS? He is made much, much smaller.

He was never going to beat the 'Buy it Now' button, was he?

He was warned, I suspect. Smile

Now he has a problem with soya beans.

More piffle from Bannon.

Bannon

“It’s full throwdown. Trump has planned this out for a long time. He led with the smart things, forced technology transfers. It’s obvious the Chinese have no real response to this. I think they played completely into his hands. By putting tariffs on agricultural products and avoiding addressing the technology questions they’ve shown once again they consider us nothing more than a tributary state.”

Clever though. Wink

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump opening a trade war with China may hurt more than American farmers and consumers ― it could seriously hamper his party’s efforts to retain a House majority.

Snakey.

'Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting obtained and analyzed 18 versions of the scientific report. In changes dated Feb. 6, a park service official crossed out the word “anthropogenic,” the term for people’s impact on nature, in five places. Three references to “human activities” causing climate change also were removed.'

A Chinese hoax?? Shock

Paul Ryan is heading to Arizona, by the way. Wink

Yep.

edition.cnn.com/2018/04/04/politics/mueller-special-counsel-investigation-russian-oligarchs/index.html

'Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has taken the unusual step of questioning Russian oligarchs who traveled into the US, stopping at least one and searching his electronic devices when his private jet landed at a New York area airport, according to multiple sources familiar with the inquiry.'

They want 'business as usual'. Wink And it will be a brutal mid-term campaign. I imagine that most of those not up for re-election will still be expected to stump for House hopefuls.

lionheart · 04/04/2018 23:03

It will not be pretty.

“I’m a woman over 50, who (as of February 7th) has seven active pre-existing conditions,” the woman tells Cruz. “I’m not counting being female, and a survivor of abuse. I purchase my individual policy on the Health Insurance Exchange. If you force me into a high-risk pool, you will either bankrupt me or kill me. I take your threats of medical aggression personally and seriously; and I can assure you, I’m not the only Texan who does.”

“My question is: Will you pledge to submit to a DNA test, to prove that you’re human?” she asked.

A Kentucky Federal Judge rejected to dismiss the claim from three protesters at a 2016 Trump rally that then candidate Trump provoked violence with his rhetoric to have them removed.

'U. S. District Judge David J. Hale ruled in a March 31 opinion that he is rejecting requests from Trump and his supporters named as defendants in the case to dismiss the charges brought by three rally protesters because there was precedent of violence at previous Trump rallies, and Trump was inciting violence by ordering the removal of protesters.'

Since Trump is insistent on claiming his Rasmussen 51% approval ratings, here’s an aggregate site that gathers all the polls together and compares over time.

I seem to recall that Rasmussen is regarded not only as the least accurate poll but also as Republican leaning?
