Donald Trump Ducks Questions About Administration’s Ties To Russia
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/en…
During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump took two questions from U.S. media outlets about the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the Iran nuclear deal.
Neither of those questions centered on Russia ― the biggest issue this week that ultimately led to the resignation of Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who served less than 30 days at the post.
When CNN’s Jim Acosta tried to ask Trump about Flynn, the president smiled, thanked the audience and walked away.

Swampy.

"WASHINGTON ― Less than a week on the job as U.S. attorney general, Jeff Sessions faces a potentially explosive situation: He was a top adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but he’s now overseeing the agency investigating members of that campaign.
The FBI, which falls under the umbrella of Sessions’ Justice Department, is leading a multi-agency probe of possible connections between Trump associates and the Russian government. Law enforcement and intelligence officials have phone records and intercepted calls that show members of Trump’s campaign repeatedly communicated with senior Russian intelligence officials in the months before the election, the New York Times reported Tuesday. Sessions has ties to at least two of the people who are reportedly under investigation."
Article subheading: The attorney general has indicated he doesn’t think he needs to recuse himself from the investigations.

Schwarzenegger rips gerrymandering: Congress 'couldn't beat herpes in the polls'
http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-…
"“Gerrymandering has created an absurd reality where politicians now pick their voters, instead of the voters picking their politicians,” the Republican and “Terminator” star says in a video released Tuesday on media startup ATTN.
“You thought every two years in November, you’re going to the polls to pick your representatives, right? Wrong!” Schwarzenegger says to the camera."
...
“Using gerrymandering, our politicians drew their district lines so safely, that even while congressional approval ratings went sometimes down into the single digits, they couldn’t lose,” Schwarzenegger exclaims

Trump reveled in leaks that hurt Hillary Clinton.
Now he calls them 'un-American'- Notice how he validates the information that was published. Also, setting up a war with your own IC isn't particularly smart.face_melter

The president saying that Fox and Friends the "great" news program to watch is so embarrassing for the country. Trump has been accused by people close to him of only getting his news from the television. Trump is either the moron that people make him out to be, or he's pretending to be that moron to sway the dumber people of the country to his side. Either way it's a shame.
Sadly, half the country is too stupid to realize they should be embarrassed about electing him.
- Didn't even FOX NEWS say Fox and Friends wasn't the news, it's "entertainment commentary"fooler

FBI releases files on Trump apartments' race discrimination probe in '70s
The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website (https://vault.fbi.gov/trump-man... include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.
A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.
The Trumps and their company entered into a consent decree settling the litigation in 1975. The agreement contained no admission of wrongdoing, but required the Trump firm to institute a series of safeguards to make sure apartments were rented without regard to race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
- I met a Mexican guy a few weeks ago who's father used to work for trump. Trump wasn't his direct boss by any stretch but knew his name, exactly what he did...********
- .. and always asked how he was. The guy said his father was shocked at how kind and personable Trump always was to everyone.********
- The smear campaign is starting to become a bit of a joke.********
- Well that settles it then!whatthefunk
- I'm just giving another side to the story. They're both hearsay...********
- lol, nobody accused Trump of going around being overtly racist to his employee's faces ... just that his family engaged in racist housing schemesmonospaced
- Yes yes, I know, who said otherwise? Thank you once again mono for weighing in with an utterly superfluous comment.********
- I'm not fighting. You said you were providing another side to the story. But there isn't a side that said Trump was mean to mexican employees. Chill out!monospaced
- I'm agreeing with you, ffs. Trump is probably a really nice guy, and most people say that. He's also notorious for some shady business over the decades. Peace.monospaced
- I simply felt that your story, while nice and fuzzy, was actually quite superfluous considering it wasn't actually related to the questionablehousing practices.monospaced
- I met a Mexican guy a few weeks ago who's father used to work for trump. Trump wasn't his direct boss by any stretch but knew his name, exactly what he did...

The Kushner family is in talks to buy the Miami Marlins. The brother of Jared Kushner, son-in-law to President Trump, has been dealing with Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria to purchase the team.
And wouldn't you know, Loria just 'happens' top be the now leading candidate to be the next US Ambassador to France.
What an amazing coincidence.
