Oh good. I hope this one won't be blocked like NC was. 

Are we seriously going to spend billions on a wall?

It’s actually time for someone to sit SHS down and say “yes, you have a tough job, yes, you are smoother than Spicer and more stable than Mooch, but if you ever use your taxpayer funded job again to denigrate the Intelligence of a reporter or a sitting US Senator, you’re fired”

Breaking news: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court said the state's congressional map was so partisan it violated the state's constitution. Map is blocked for 2018 and they want it redrawn ahead of the primary.

Profoundly consequential win against partisan gerrymandering

Wow if this is true NO WORDS

Old news! I posted that on the previous page.  

So Trump is going to place high tariffs on foreign-made washing machines and solar panels, but leaves cheap imports from China virtually untouched?  where is the "Bad policy decisions" hashtag when you need one?

 

EDT:

Oh, by the way, how much you wanna bet that China retaliates with their own tariffs on some products from the USA?

This is gross!

 

!!! Rep. Pat Meehan says he never harassed his aide - he merely told her they were “soulmates” and “lash(ed) out” when he found out she had a boyfriend because he cared about her a lot. https://t.co/41PEjnkFXP

Dear lord...that's beyond gross. Slime is too nice a word to describe him. 😠😠😠😠😠

And, it's another Republican "Family Values" Rep! Because, of course it is. (I know, this crap is bipartisan. Hi, Anthony Weiner, you slime! But the GOP are the ones who ALWAYS get holier than thou AFAIC, so the fact that stuff like this keeps emerging just makes them all look like the master hypocrites they are.)

JUST IN: Robert Mueller has indicated to Pres. Trump's lawyers that the special counsel’s office will seek answers directly from the president on circumstances around Flynn, Comey firings, @ABC confirms.

Russia leaks right before dumb Donald heads to Switzerland. This is excellent. He always decompensates when he travels. This will just up the pressure.

I guess this is, as so many have said, mostly just being done to try to salvage the natural gas and coal industries. And of course this will cost more jobs, but who cares, right? Not our 'jobs President.'

 

I have to admit I do wonder how effective the market is as I read India is scaling back due to it not being as big as they thought. (I think it was India)

 

I read that some were saying they actually thought the tariffs would be even higher than this, which makes me wonder just how out of control things are behind the scenes.
