NATION FAVORS TRAVEL BAN ON PERSON WHO HAS RECENTLY VISITED MUSLIM COUNTRY
RIYADH —In a notable shift of public opinion, a substantial majority of Americans now favor a travel ban on a person who has recently visited a Muslim country, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, if such a person travelled to a country in the Middle East, for example,
he should be subjected to extreme vetting before he is allowed to return to the United States.
If, in the course of such vetting,
the person is found to have recently engaged in activities to undermine or even destroy American democracy in collaboration with a foreign enemy, he should be barred forever from entering the U.S.,
poll respondents agreed.
In sizable numbers, those polled “strongly agreed” with the statement,
“Any American who travels to a Muslim country with the intention of selling them deadly weapons should not be allowed to return.”
Finally, a broad majority of poll respondents said that if such a person were to remain outside the borders of the U.S. forever, they would “sleep better at night.”

New Report For Boots:
83% of humans on the face of The Earth have called for the firing of James Comey within the last year.
In his defense, he had to bow in order to make it easier for the King to put the medal on him. I will be fair.
and then he curtsied
Good speech by Trump to the Saudis after they throw gold at him:
1. No harboring terrorists
2. No fiunding terrorists
3. Fight the elevation of the social status of terrorists
Imo stuck to the script well and said "thanks for the gifts but..."
Trump didn't mean any of that.
It's all business
From Trash, It's All Lies, All The Time
What US president has said what they actually intend to do with Saudi Arabia?
Roger Stone said the speech was nauseating. What does this say...
lol
is this thing trending?
LMAO it is. The very first video.
Darrins just died a little more inside.
I had it arrive in several links, so it will probably be on teevee this afternoon and this evening.
"fake news" "fake marriage" "fake so-called Pres"
Evidently, millions more people would rather see girl pulled into the water by a sea lion.
The sad thing is millions in taxpayer money is being wasted to protect an estranged trophy wife who wants nothing to do with her orange clown husband.
WATCH: Israeli ambassador visibly flummoxed when Trump implies Israel is not in the Middle East
“Our Secretary of State has done an incredible job,” Trump said at a meeting with Dermer, Rex Tillerson and other U.S. and Israeli officials. That’s when the president made this geographical blunder:
“We just got back from the Middle East,” Trump said to the room. “We just got back from Saudi Arabia.”
Dermer can be seen stifling a laugh while he throws his face in his hand. He quickly moves his hand through his hair, disguising his inability to handle the president’s gaffe.
Israel is a Middle Eastern country located on the Mediterranean Sea.

Is Donald Trump’s casino empire linked to money laundering? Past financial crimes may be the president’s biggest problem
Campaign collusion could become an afterthought as investigators begin to focus on the Atlantic City money trail
It was just another day of gaffes, scandals and lawbreaking in the era of Trump.
the Russia investigation had expanded to include a member of the White House staff who is close to the president:http://www.salon.com/2017/05/23/is-d...ggest-problem/
Although the case began quietly last July as an effort to determine whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian operatives to meddle in the presidential election campaign, the investigative work now being done by the FBI
also includes determining whether any financial crimes were committed by people close to the president …
While there has been a loud public debate in recent days over the question of whether the president might have attempted to obstruct justice in his private dealings with Comey, whom Trump fired last week, people familiar with the matter said
investigators on the case are more focused on Russian influence operations and possible financial crimes.
Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo observed that the investigation may be homing in on the story he’s been following for some time about Trump’s business and financial dealings over the decades with a whole cast of nefarious characters,
including authentic mobster Felix Sater, who has ties to Russian oligarchs and gangsters and may be a U.S. government informant.
Over and over again in Trump’s past you find connections to criminals and shady characters who operate on the very edge of legality. Marshall notes that for the past couple of decades, Trump has had a specific business model:
Cut off from capital from the big banks and most people interested in not losing their money, he had to do business with people with decidedly sketchier reputations. Those people, often looking for places to park wealth in real estate, had to accept much higher levels of risk than people with clean reputations. That seemed to lead them to Trump.
the Trump Taj Mahal casino broke money-laundering rules 106 times in the first year and half of operation and paid nearly half a million dollars in fines in just one settlement agreement in 1998.
The network reported:
According to a dozen anti-money laundering experts, casinos often run into these problems. But
getting caught with 106 violations in the casino’s opening years is an indicator of a serious problem
, they said. The violations date back to a time when
the Taj Mahal was the preferred gambling spot for Russian mobsters living in Brooklyn
, according to federal investigators who tracked organized crime in New York City. They also occurred at a time
when the Taj Mahal casino was short on cash and on the verge of bankruptcy.
just four months before Trump descended from his golden escalator to announce his candidacy:The violations in that case went back to 2003.
The parent of Trump Taj Mahal, one of Atlantic City, New Jersey’s struggling casinos, has settled U.S. government charges that it violated federal laws designed to thwart money laundering, court filings show.
Trump Taj Mahal agreed to the assessment of a $10 million civil penalty by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network,
according to a proposed consent order filed on Tuesday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
Casinos are an obvious choice for money launderers. So is real estate, for that matter. And Trump has been closely associated for years with the kind of people who dabble in such behavior, including Russian mobsters.
he surely has enough street smarts to know that once the authorities get all up in your business they will follow wherever the trail leads.
There’s a reason that the president refuses to be transparent about his financial dealings and we know it isn’t because he’s so modest.
He’s hiding something, and a special prosecutor with a mandate to look into financial crimes is probably going to find out what it is.

President Trump's Budget Includes a $2 Trillion Math Mistake
President Trump's budget includes simple accounting error that adds up to a $2 trillion oversight.
Under the proposed budget released Tuesday, the Trump Administration's proposed tax cuts would boost economic growth enough to pay for $1.3 trillion in spending by 2027. But the tax cuts are also supposed to be revenue-neutral, meaning that trillion dollars is already supposed to pay for the money lost from the tax cuts.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers called the oversight an "elementary double count" and "a logical error of the kind that would justify failing a student in an introductory economics course" in an op-ed in the Washington Post.
The idea that the tax cuts would pay for anything already was criticized. Over the years, it's been a reliable staple of Republican rhetoric about taxes that lowering the rates would lead to a boom in the economy that would offset the loss in revenue, but economists say the idea is often oversold.
According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, for Trump's tax cuts to pay for themselves, the economy would have to grow at 4.5 percent over the next 10 years. That's two and a half times the growth rate projected by the Congressional Budget Office.
So what's the most likely result of Trump's plan?
The nonpartisan group projected that the tax cuts would cost the government between $3 and $7 trillion over the next decade.

The incompetence will be UnPresidented.
Dropping Shoe Watch:
"Every Day He Looks More and More Like a Complete Moron"
“Okay, he fired Comey,” the official conceded. “With a semi-competent comms operation, that would blow over in 24 hours. And that’s the worst part: he has a competent comms staff. But they can’t do their jobs because he keeps running his mouth.”
....Trump’s repeated media missteps have frustrated even longtime supporters. “Every day he looks more and more like a complete moron,” said one senior administration official who also worked on Trump’s campaign.
“I can’t see Trump resigning or even being impeached, but at this point I wish he’d grow a brain and be the man that he sold himself as on the campaign.”
Asked whether an administration staff change-up would ameliorate this latest crisis, a Republican source formerly involved with a pro-Trump political group told The Daily Beast,
“yes, if it comes with a frontal lobotomy for Trump.”
Trump is already working on ways to sabotage its own special counsel:http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-dru...complete-moron
The Trump administration is exploring whether it can use an obscure ethics rule to undermine the special counsel investigation into ties between President Donald Trump's campaign team and Russia, two people familiar with White House thinking said on Friday.
Preventing the special counsel from investigating Manafort hardly seems worth the trouble. He's not close enough to the White House to cause too many problems even if he does turn out to be involved in something fishy.
So that leaves Kushner.
Is he the guy the Trumpies are trying to protect?
Is cluster a strong enough description of Trash's Exec?
