Proving Pruitt 'Capable of Telling the Truth,' Leaked Audio Reveals EPA Chief Once Called Trump Threat to Constitution

Pruitt—then Oklahoma's attorney general—also agreed when radio host Pat Campbell

characterized Trump as "dangerous" and a "bully."

"That's right," Pruitt said.

"If Donald Trump is the nominee and eventually the president, he would take, I think unapologetic steps to use executive power to confront Congress in a way that is truly unconstitutional."

which words would those be? and what emotions are tethered to which word?

[Pavlov]

which words would those be?The words you use.
and what emotions are tethered to which word?Rage to most of them.

[koriwhat]

The words you use.Rage to most of them.

the words i use? i use a lot of words like fuck, tranny, shit, hello, goodbye, later, homie, yep, pav, etc... any of those words?

i'm not so sure rage is an emotion i possess. if i have never been in a rage then how could you assume that's a emotional state i possess? are you some sort of doctor?

[Pavlov]

the words i use? i use a lot of words like fuck, tranny, shit, hello, goodbye, later, homie, yep, pav, etc... any of those words?Yep. And others. And combinations of words. You know-- language.


i'm not so sure rage is an emotion i possess. if i have never been in a rage then how could you assume that's a emotional state i possess? are you some sort of doctor?No one needs a medical degree to discern emotion. That's ridiculous.

Almost as ridiculous as saying you are incapable of rage.

[koriwhat]

No one needs a medical degree to discern emotion. That's ridiculous.

why is that ridiculous pav? you don't know me nor have you ever met me but some how you know my emotional state through this site. how is that exactly? what's your track record in discerning the emotions of others online? i'd like to see first if you're the real deal or not. are you?

well i'd still like to see your track record so i know you're not just full of shit like you are. so, where's your track record at in diagnosing emotional states through text online?

so if i am unsure of an emotional state i might not possess that makes me incapable of said emotional state?

[Pavlov]

well i'd still like to see your track record so i know you're not just full of shit like you are. so, where's your track record at in diagnosing emotional states through text online?Pretty good IMO.

so no record to boot? got it. you're just all opinions then pav? so if i am raging to you but i am literally just kicking back laughing at you, i must be in the wrong then? with that said, i must not know the true emotional state i am experiencing but you do, right pav?


It makes you disingenuous, most likely.

if i never had a bout of rage, don't claim i am incapable of said emotion, how does that make me disingenuous then?

if i never had a bout of rage, don't claim i am incapable of said emotion, how does that make me disingenuous then?I'd say the first claim there is the disingenuous part -- but that's just my opinion.

SHOCK: New Poll Shows Dems' Mammoth Congressional Lead for 2018 Has Disappeared

The Democrats in Congress, who must have thought that they would leave their GOP challengers in the dust in the 2018 election, must be looking in their rear-view mirrors in disbelief — a new poll shows that the once vaunted huge lead congressional Democrats held going into 2018 has plummeted to virtually nothing.

A new Monmouth University Poll, which was taken before President Trump’s State if the Union address, shows 47% of registered voters indicating they would vote for or lean toward voting for the Democratic candidate in their district compared to 45% who would support the Republican. That is an astonishing drop from last month, when a Monmouth poll found the Democrats with an enormous 15-point lead, 51% to 36%.

That's not true. Harley sales have been decreasing for a long time, specifically on the domestic front. My firm represents two dealerships- one in Minny and one here locally and they biggest pushes they have both made is after their past buyers. Harley's fanbase is in the older generation and they didn't market to the younger fanbase until too late and it's killing them. Numbers have been trending downwards for the last 4-5 years.

TPP being nixed didn't kill Harley's sales last year, the year before and so on. Harley is dying because they didn't market to a new user base.

[Chucho]

Not really "dying", they still generate billions in revenue, but they're axing 800 people because they didn't focus on the demographics that would install a loyal user base as their current user base dies off. Very little to do with TPP when it's been that way for 4 years.

Right-Wing Realist Ranks Trump Atop List Of All-Time Stupid Criminals

Jennifer Rubin.

In this clip courtesy of MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber, the neoconservative WaPo columnist spells out how

Donald Trump has publicly incriminated himself in Robert Mueller’s obstruction-of-justice investigation.

From

asking several high-ranking officials for “loyalty,”

to helping Don Jr. pen a shady denial of colluding

with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya against Hillary Clinton,

the POTUS (and his big mouth) is a gift that keeps giving to the Special Counsel.

And where does that leave Trump?

Rubin has an idea for a new Most Wanted list, ranking crooks who can’t spell “dog” if you spot them the D and the O.

Conservatives can be funny…and occasionally even right.

Trash went bankrupt 4 or 6 times, was such a risk that US banks wouldn't lend to him, so he went looking for cash overseas, much of which if not all was criminal cash, eg, money laundering and/or "grooming" cash by Russian mafiya, etc.

Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?


http://www.latimes.com/resizer/7WMvLYLGSBk4owrdyMduKACrcoI=/1400x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2FL2FC5EJJDGHDCFDJ5CVTCMGU.jpg



Guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the country? Not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia, but California, where nearly one out of five residents is poor. That's according to the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure, which factors in the cost of housing, food, utilities and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income.

Given robust job growth and the prosperity generated by several industries, it's worth asking why California has fallen behind, especially when the state's per-capita GDP increased approximately twice as much as the U.S. average over the five years ending in 2016 (12.5%, compared with 6.27%).

It's not as though California policymakers have neglected to wage war on poverty. Sacramento and local governments have spent massive amounts in the cause. Several state and municipal benefit programs overlap with one another; in some cases, individuals with incomes 200% above the poverty line receive benefits. California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments and "other public welfare," according to the Census Bureau. California, with 12% of the American population, is home today to about one in three of the nation's welfare recipients.

California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price.

Share quote & link

The generous spending, then, has not only failed to decrease poverty; it actually seems to have made it worse.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, some states — principally Wisconsin, Michigan, and Virginia — initiated welfare reform, as did the federal government under President Clinton and a Republican Congress. Tied together by a common thread of strong work requirements, these overhauls were a big success: Welfare rolls plummeted and millions of former aid recipients entered the labor force.

The state and local bureaucracies that implement California's antipoverty programs, however, resisted pro-work reforms. In fact, California recipients of state aid receive a disproportionately large share of it in no-strings-attached cash disbursements. It's as though welfare reform passed California by, leaving a dependency trap in place. Immigrants are falling into it: 55% of immigrant families in the state get some kind of means-tested benefits, compared with just 30% of natives.

Self-interest in the social-services community may be at fault. As economist William A. Niskanen explained back in 1971, public agencies seek to maximize their budgets, through which they acquire increased power, status, comfort and security. To keep growing its budget, and hence its power, a welfare bureaucracy has an incentive to expand its "customer" base. With 883,000 full-time-equivalent state and local employees in 2014, California has an enormous bureaucracy. Many work in social services, and many would lose their jobs if the typical welfare client were to move off the welfare rolls.

Further contributing to the poverty problem is California's housing crisis. More than four in 10 households spent more than 30% of their income on housing in 2015. A shortage of available units has driven prices ever higher, far above income increases. And that shortage is a direct outgrowth of misguided policies.

"Counties and local governments have imposed restrictive land-use regulations that drove up the price of land and dwellings," explains analyst Wendell Cox. "Middle-income households have been forced to accept lower standards of living while the less fortunate have been driven into poverty by the high cost of housing." The California Environmental Quality Act, passed in 1971, is one example; it can add $1 million to the cost of completing a housing development, says Todd Williams, an Oakland attorney who chairs the Wendel Rosen Black & Dean land-use group. CEQA costs have been known to shut down entire homebuilding projects. CEQA reform would help increase housing supply, but there's no real movement to change the law.

Extensive environmental regulations aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions make energy more expensive, also hurting the poor. By some estimates, California energy costs are as much as 50% higher than the national average. Jonathan A. Lesser of Continental Economics, author of a 2015 Manhattan Institute study, "Less Carbon, Higher Prices," found that "in 2012, nearly 1 million California households faced … energy expenditures exceeding 10% of household income. In certain California counties, the rate of energy poverty was as high as 15% of all households." A Pacific Research Institute study by Wayne Winegarden found that the rate could exceed 17% of median income in some areas.

Looking to help poor and low-income residents, California lawmakers recently passed a measure raising the minimum wage from $10 an hour to $15 an hour by 2022 — but a higher minimum wage will do nothing for the 60% of Californians who live in poverty and don't have jobs. And research indicates that it could cause many who do have jobs to lose them. A Harvard University study found evidence that "higher minimum wages increase overall exit rates for restaurants" in the Bay Area, where more than a dozen cities and counties, including San Francisco, have changed their minimum-wage ordinances in the last five years. "Estimates suggest that a one-dollar increase in the minimum wage leads to a 14% increase in the likelihood of exit for a 3.5-star restaurant (which is the median rating)," the report says. These restaurants are a significant source of employment for low-skilled and entry-level workers.

Apparently content with futile poverty policies, Sacramento lawmakers can turn their attention to what historian Victor Davis Hanson aptly describes as a fixation on "remaking the world." The political class wants to build a costly and needless high-speed rail system; talks of secession from a United States presided over by Donald Trump; hired former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr. to "resist" Trump's agenda; enacted the first state-level cap-and-trade regime; established California as a "sanctuary state" for illegal immigrants; banned plastic bags, threatening the jobs of thousands of workers involved in their manufacture; and is consumed by its dedication to "California values." All this only reinforces the rest of America's perception of an out-of-touch Left Coast, to the disservice of millions of Californians whose values are more traditional, including many of the state's poor residents.

With a permanent majority in the state Senate and the Assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state's poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years.

Fox & Friends are "Trash's Brain"

Fox & Friends gets Trump talking about ... British health care? (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/5/1738856/-Fox-amp-Friends-gets-Trump-talking-about-British-health-care)


Donald J. Trump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump)
(https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump)✔@realDonaldTrump (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump)

The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare

while thousands of people are marching in the UK

because their U system is going broke and not working.

Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. ??? :lol

No thanks!
6:11 AM - Feb 5, 2018 (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/960486144818450432)




Six minutes later (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/960487657691385856), he was thanking Fox & Friends for “exposing the truth.” :lol

As you might expect, there are problems with the “truth” as “exposed” by Fox & Friends

and

with Trump’s understanding of what was being said.

Nigel Farage, the Trump-supporting British politician, had appeared on the show to execute a two-pronged attack on the National Health Service and immigration (https://www.buzzfeed.com/markdistefano/trump-farage-nhs?utm_term=.cgRJr2QWV#.wa7124zMO):

Farage was attempting a sophisticated dual move,

using the NHS to show that Britain can’t afford immigrants and

using the underfunding of the NHS to argue that the system is doomed rather than in need of support.

And there’s reason to believe Farage was a little too complex, because faced with this take,

Trump went after universal health care

rather than after immigration,

despite Trump’s general hatred of immigrants and

the fact that the U.S. does not have a national health service to attack.

Newsweek in Chaos as Top Editors, Reporters Fired and New York Staff Sent Home


“I am going to lead the f—ing revolution,” says one current Newsweek employee


https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/news.jpg



Newsweek fired editor-in-chief Bob Roe and executive editor Ken Li Monday. Additionally, TheWrap has learned that the publication has parted ways with the top reporters of its investigations unit, including Celeste Katz and Josh Saul. International Business Times reporter Josh O’Keefe was also dismissed.

Employees who were not fired were sent home Monday — potentially without pay, TheWrap has learned.

“IBT employees were not paid last night,” a current Newsweek employee told TheWrap. “They claimed we were about to get paid by 3 and 5 today and if we don’t get paid by 5 I am going to lead the f—ing revolution.”

They fired “everyone on that investigative team and a ‘payroll error’ last night means nobody in the company got paid,” said the employee. “They are apparently in a ‘work stoppage’ and being sent home for the day.”

As the Daily Beast reported, members of the Newsweek investigations unit had written several pieces critical of the company in recent days, something an internal source within the company suggested was related to today’s actions.

“They were all independently working on a story about ‘the Church,’ a.k.a. our owners,” said the employee.

A second Newsweek insider said a general panic had swept remaining employees.

“We were told that we were “welcome to go home” earlier today, but no one has left. Everyone is downloading their articles off the website, talking with their sources and transferring their work contacts. The unofficial general agreement is to stay for more information but not work at all. There is alcohol out and most people are just comforting each other,” said the individual.

“The idea of walking out on the job in response to our owners firing Bob and Ken was briefly discussed.”

A Newsweek insider said that CEO Dev Pragad would meet with the remaining editors at some point later today to further explain the situation.

A rep for Newsweek Media Group, which oversees both IBT and Newsweek, has not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.

On Friday, Newsweek’s chairman, Etienne Uzac, and his wife, finance director Marion Kim, both left the company after a report in BuzzFeed said that the media company had engaged in ad fraud and used dodgy tactics to artificially increase traffic.

Last month, Newsweek’s office was raided by the NYPD and the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for reasons that remain unclear. Employees at the time reported that officers had been taking pictures of computer servers.

Also last month, the company’s chief content officer, Dayan Candappa, was placed on leave after sexual misconduct accusations at a previous employer surfaced.

The Mexican's Revenge! :lol

Judge Curiel, once attacked by Trump for his Mexican heritage, to preside over wall case (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/2/6/1739252/-Judge-Curiel-once-attacked-by-Trump-for-his-Mexican-heritage-to-preside-over-wall-case)

District Judge Gonzalo Curiel,

who was targeted by the president while he was the judge of a class-action lawsuit against the president's now-defunct Trump University,

will on Friday hear the case brought by the state of California, some environmental groups and Rep. Raúl Grijalva , D-Ariz.

It challenges waivers that were given to the federal branch more than 10 years ago to bypass some federal and state laws for border security.

The case, which was initially three separate lawsuits before being consolidated by Curiel, represents a substantial legal challenge to the construction of Trump's potential border wall.

Andrew Gordon, a former Department of Homeland Security lawyer during the Obama administration, told McClatchy, which first reported the story, that

a ruling against the administration could slow plans for construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, even if the ruling is later overturned.

"This is a very significant case," Gordon told the news service.

These Hispanic contractors offered to build Trump’s border wall. Then the death threats began

Work on the border wall has stirred such impassioned reactions that only a tiny fraction of the country’s nearly half-million Hispanic-owned construction firms are even considering profiting from Trump’s wall.

Mexicans harassing his workers in profanity-laced Spanish and chucking rocks over a sliver of fencing as they installed lighting.

One of his employees donned a bulletproof vest at work every day.

“It was a rough environment, and I expect it to be more charged now than it has been in the history of working along the border,” Anderson said.

“Not only are Mexicans infuriated with the United States, but people in the United States are also infuriated.”

Anderson said that if his company is selected, he expects some of his construction workers to quit rather than to build the wall.

Shah, serving at the RNC during the raucous Republican primary that Trump would soon upend with his mix of halfwit promises and toxic racism, considered Trump a "deplorable" who at least got what was coming to him when Access Hollywood released the tape of Trump bragging about sexual assault (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/02/white-house-official-called-trump-a-deplorable.html).

“I’m kinda enjoying this, some justice. I honestly don’t think it’s the worst thing he’s done but he somehow got passes for the other acts.”Shah added, “Trump is a deplorable.”


Shah also did a little behind-the-scenes work to sabotage Trump in the primaries,


“Holy shit,” a source who advised Trump said, “plenty of people in the West Wing hate him right now.

You hear them say things like, I’m serving the country.

That’s code for, I hate the fucker.”

On the campaign, the former adviser said,

“We all thought he was a moron.

He’s by no means a stupid guy, but

he was such a pain in the ass and stubborn.”

Shah declined to comment.

Well it sounds like things in the White House are going just swimmingly.

Trump claimed he got a celebrity discount on Melania’s engagement ring — but that’s a lie

The real estate developer and former reality TV star told the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/13/fashion/weddings/at-celebrity-nuptials-to-die-for-vendors-give-themselves.html?mtrref=undefined) in 2005 that Graff Diamonds gave him a $1 million discount on the engagement ring he gave to Melania Knauss, but the company’s chairman later denied the claim, reported Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2018/02/08/trump-lied-about-what-he-paid-for-melanias-engagement-ring/#5c5131d0371a).

Trump claimed the jeweler gave him a discount due to his fame, but multiple Graff officials said the company did not offer reduced prices in exchange for celebrity endorsements.

“We don’t sell items for publicity value,” said Graff CFO Nicholas Paine.

Laurence Graff told Forbes via email that Trump was “a pleasure to do business with,” but the Swiss billionaire said

the future president was given “no favours” on the emerald cut D-flawless diamond weighing more than 10 carats.

Trump paid for the engagement ring, which retailed for $1.5 million, immediately and in full, a source with direct knowledge of the transaction said.
He also paid in full for a second Graff ring he gave to Melania to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.

That engagement ring, which weighs 25 carats and cost $3 million, attracted attention after the first lady posed with it for her official White House photo.

Shapiro's debates are anything but boring. Even Milo is terrified of him.

i've heard him debate, and i've heard him give his lectures to republican student groups around the country. he has canned responses for literally every issue... which is why his youtube clips seem to get very repetitive very fast

his podcast is better than his debate/lecture stuff tho
