http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-reports-hundreds-millions-financial-liabilities-n773551

 

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released President Donald Trump's most recent financial disclosure, and it shows that the former real estate mogul carries at least $315 million in liabilities — $130 million to Deutsche Bank alone.

 

this would seem to confirm the conspiracy theories Maddow has been floating forever.

He cares about this one, because when the SP was appointed he praised it. now, with his wife going for this, he's blasting it. timing is everything......Trump is finding that out, and Newt will sell his soul and put party over nation especially for the current woman he may or may not be cheating on.

I don't know if anyone has been following the Grenfell Tower fire in London.  This article makes it clear people in leadership positions knew about it and pushed it aside because it would have made "too many people homeless". How about resettling idiots. ALl of the ugliness of the Tories and the GOP is no longer hidden. The sad part is those here now revel in it the cruelty of the GOP.

Oh and can Theresa May be more robotic, uncaring, and money grubbing. Seriously after the disastrous election, why is she still PM.  I lost count of how many times she mentioned 5 million pounds as if that is the solution

HORRIFIC

 

"Kensington and Chelsea council and tenants management organisation did not respond to more than 130 offers to put up displaced residents of Grenfell Tower and its neighbouring blocks, a volunteer who came to assist in the relief efforts has said.

Michal Nachmany, a researcher at the London School of Economics, told the Guardian that she spent hours on Wednesday compiling a list of people willing to provide a roof for families and individuals - with some even offering entire flats to the dispossessed.

She even offered to put up two families herself at her home in Chiswick. “My kids can fit into a single room,” she said.

Nachmany sent the list to senior workers at the KCTMO and the local council. However, as yet she has not received any news that any of the offers have been matched to families or individuals in need. It comes amid reports that displaced residents are still sleeping on floors and have not been housed.

In an email to the Guardian, Nachmany, 40, said:

United States Commission on Civil Rights is launching an investigation of the Trump administration.

Civil Rights Commission Will Launch Two-Year Probe of Trump Administration

 

Also, 1/4 of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS have resigned in protest of Trump's policies.

TRUMP DOESN’T CARE ABOUT HIV. WE’RE OUTTA HERE

 

And speaking of incompetents in charge of nations,

 

Yes @JaneAusten I've been following the tragedy of the Grenfell Towers fire.  Just yesterday, I was looking through the online portfolio of an artist who died in the fire.  It is heartbreaking, as well as infuriating, seeing as the Kensington area is one of the wealthiest areas in London, England, U.K. and probably the world.

 

The tenants had complained for years and last year, apparently the tenants association wrote on their blog a warning that it appeared that nothing short of a catastrophic event would change the status quo.

Sadly, they were right!

 

 

 

 

These are the true snowflakes.  Why is it that Delta Airlines felt the need to announce that they were pulling support when they supported the production years ago, when an African American actor bearing a resemblance to Obama was used in the production?

 

These people clearly have no idea what the play is truly about and they're too ignorant to find out.
