Nancy Pelosi snaps at Kellyanne Conway after tense White House meeting with Trump
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a tense, aborted meeting on infrastructure Wednesday.​
“I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said after Conway asked her a question, according to a senior administration official who was in the room.​
Later, a Pelosi staffer told CNBC that the speaker had said something different. “I’m responding to the president, not staff,” Pelosi said, according to her deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill.​

Bank CEO Stephen M. Calk Charged With Corruptly Soliciting A Presidential Administration Position In Exchange For Approving $16 Million In Loans
Audrey Strauss, the Attorney for the United States, Acting Under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, William F. Sweeney Jr., the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and Patricia Tarasca, the Special Agent-in-Charge of the New York Region for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector General (“FDIC OIG”), announced today the unsealing of an indictment charging STEPHEN M. CALK with financial institution bribery for corruptly using his position as the head of a federally insured bank to issue millions of dollars in high-risk loans to a borrower in exchange for a personal benefit: assistance from the borrower in obtaining a senior position with an incoming presidential administration. CALK is expected to be presented this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman.​
Ms. Strauss said: “As alleged, Stephen M. Calk abused the power entrusted to him as the top official of a federally insured bank by approving millions of dollars in high-risk loans in an effort to secure a personal benefit, namely an appointment as Secretary of the Army or another similarly high-level position in the incoming presidential administration. Calk’s alleged attempt to obtain such an appointment was unsuccessful, and the loans he approved were ultimately downgraded by the bank’s primary regulator. Thanks to the outstanding work of the FBI and FDIC OIG, Calk’s alleged corrupt scheme has now resulted in a federal criminal charge.”​
FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said: “As alleged, Calk went to great lengths to avoid banking violations in an attempt to secure a senior position in a presidential administration. He curried favor with an influential borrower, exploited his position as CEO of a bank and its holding company, and exercised control over the bank and the borrower’s loans, intentionally turning his back on the many red flags posted along the way. His attempt at petitioning for political favors was unsuccessful in more ways than one – he didn’t get the job he wanted, and he compromised the one he had.”​

Facebook idiot

Shirley Becker Shannon McKendry Mexico has already paid for the wall. Obviously you don't understand simple math. Mexico didn't hand over a check or cash for the wall directly, the money came from the savings for the US through the trade agreement. The wall is already paid for twice over. CNN reporter Jim Acosta already proved the wall works while trying to prove how ineffective the wall would be.
Don't any of you play attention? Or are you simply THAT brainwashed? Shame on you and everyone like you.

I have to say that the level of stupid here is amazing, because this is someone who apparently believes everything Trump says and yet just this week Trump said that the Democrats need to pass the new NAFTA deal before he'll negotiate on infrastructure, before finding another very stable and genius reason to bail out of that discussion because rainbow unicorn farts(*) didn't magically materialize with the trillions needed to pay for it.

(*) - Rainbow unicorn farts, incidentally, is code word for "Russian money" to bail Trump out of financial problems.

That's just it, they listen to him and Fox News. Nothing else.

All these people see is "economy is great because of Trump" and "immigrants do bad things". That's it.

They don't have any idea what a President does (or really doesn't) do related to the economy. They watch Fox in the morning and see all the great things going on (ironically, Trump's sitting around watching the same shows with his "Executive Time")

Throw in some edited videos of Democrats to make them look bad (Fox admitted it was clearly fake, but still subtly references it indirectly, knowing it is still out there).

You really have to be a special kind of moron to tell the video is slowed. So, yes, we're talking about trump supporters.
 
Jerry Nadler had a scary medical issue during a press conference with Bill de Blasio. They're saying dehydration, but that looked to me more than that. He had no clue where he was.
 
I’m confused. It reads like those two tweets are sayin the opposites of each other. 🥺
That was why I added both; the stay looked bad at first, but its just that they are already further in on another case that may render this one moot.
 
I see most everyone here are still living in their #FAKENEWS fantasy world. Can't wait to stop in again later this year and discuss the findings of AG Barr's investigation in to obvious Obama administration corruption.

Spying on political opponents and using U.S. institutions to persecute them? I would be shocked but than again this is the admin that used the IRS to persecute their political enemies...

Another fine contribution.
 
Drove my truck through the D. C. Beltway this morning as Rolling Thunder bikers came in to ride and remember Vietnam. Saw hundreds coming on 95 and 66.

Crazy to contrast this with a drive for more war in the Middle East.

This is NOT a political thread. This is a "dump on the President or anyone that isn't left wing leaning" thread.

Barr's report will read (with strikethrough representing the parts he won't declassify) :

The FBI entered into an investigation of persons known to be affiliated with the Russian government and who met repeatedly with members of the Trump campaign.

Fortunately, that stuff is all in the public record already based on the indictments and Mueller report, which based on your comment I have doubts you've read, because you know all you want to know from the people who tell you what to hear - I'd call them the real "FAKE NEWS" but they don't even pretend to be news any more (and even Fox, that pretended to try for a while, can't even have a Democratic candidate on the network without being called out by the Donald for failing in their job as state media).

But sure, believe what you want to - you will anyway. Ignore the fact that Hillary's investigation was stated by Kevin McCarthy himself as a strategy to win and bring her poll numbers down, ignore that the FBI torpedoed her campaign by announcing the reopening of the investigation based on nothing but kept the Russia/Trump ties completely out of the news, and just hang your hat on Bill Barr, who also helped cover up Oliver North and gave out as misleading a summary as humanly possible on what the Mueller report actually said.

I'd ask someone you to offer a counterpoint, but I honestly don't know what a conservative believes in any longer. People who claimed to be about personal liberty and limited government calling for the government to intervene in social media because people are saying mean things about them, who claim to care about the national debt but explode the goddamn deficit every.f***ing.time the GOP gets the white house with tax cuts, and people who claim to be about the rule of law and innocent until proven guilty and even after they plead guilty if they're wearing that magic 'R' but think Hillary should already be in jail for the crime of being a Clinton.

I'd love a real god-damned conservative to talk with. I know Plainview has already said he'd probably have supported a guy like Kasich in the last election. What I have no time for is autocrats and plutocrats, and while there's a lot to not like about the Democrats too, if Obama had done 10% of the things Trump has done, there;d be no end to the "outrage" (hell, just imagine if he'd had his own personal business taking millions of dollars from the Saudi government and then decided to sell them weapons without Congressional review for made-up reasons about Iranian aggression). With Trump, there's plenty of ends to the outrage because s*** like this isn't earth-shattering, just yet another in a series of overreaches by someone who doesn't see himself as a President, but as the goddamned King.

Who said I was a conservative?

Proves my point exactly.

Change the word 'you' to 'someone' then. I'll edit it. Then maybe feel free to comment on it other than inferring an unintended personal comment based on one damn word and focus on the substance, which might be my biggest gripe about discourse these days from everyf***ingbody.
