“I’m told Cohen has been prepping with this for a long time, and he knows he’s got credibility issues, so he’s coming with documents,” Dilanian said, “and he’s got very detailed, sordid and, what (attorney) Lanny Davis has described as chilling stories of what how the president conducts himself behind closed doors.”

“We shouldn’t underestimate how powerful seeing a Trump insider who has been with Donald Trump for more than 10 years telling these stories before the glare of the television lights,” he added."

Absolutely this, and the sad part is that a number posters on this forum fit that descripton.

Employment figures are totally meaningless unless you know all or most of the other factors in the economy that give you that figure. For example 100% employment sounds fine, but if most of those employees are well below the minimum wage with no benefits, then its an economic disaster waiting to happen.


Also, there are different types of (and therefore different reasons for) unemployment. How they are tackled depends on the circumstances.

Today's Non Sequitur comic strip deals with this nicely ;)

Trump Tweets

Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth....

....This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress. If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.
 
The lies of the Right wing and Trump are crazy and not even remotely believable, yet they still believe it.

The Democratic argument isn't given until the end of the article.

Has there ever been such a socialist President, if the child needs medical treatment it needs to pay like everyone else, why should doctors be forced to provide charity?

You and I may not agree on much, but it seems we at least share a sense of humour!

We agree on a huge amount, it's just that space projects keep raising their ugly heads, leading to ... er ... 'vigorous debate' ;)

Indeed. I sometimes wonder why the Republicans don’t accuse the Democrats of bath8ng in the blood of newborns. Or of eating the flesh of toddlers.

Granted, Trump probably didn't watch the movie Blackkklansman (or if he did, he thought it was a tragedy.... those fine people unfairly targeted by the cops just for exercising their rights.) But he might have had it explained to him. .

Isn’t there enough evidence to say that on many topics it is virtually impossible to explain things to him?

That was what Pizzagate was all about after all. So such claims certainly are made
 
White House Press Corp kicked out of their hotel.

I cannot find any info about who booked the press corp into the same hotel the North Korean dictator, but there are stories saying the White House approved the booking. Reports are the NK asked to have them removed and the Vietnamese security forces escorted them out of the hotel.

ETA
It is a skeptics’ board so evidence must precede any conclusion. Therefore it would be imprudent to conclude that the folks in the White House would be so petty, so passive-aggressive, so spiteful that this event was organized to happen this way.

DJT Jr. is now sporting a beard. It looks positively hideous, worse than Stephen Miller's hair makeup of a few weeks ago.

I think he saw how great Ted Cruz looked in a beard and decided to try it. It doesn't work. At all.

Bad move -
no chance he'll be tried as a minor looking like this.

I get the daily grind of his idiocy numbs us to news but this is huge if they have the evidence.

Only if conservatives actually care about minor process crimes like obstruction of justice, there has been no evidence that they do though.

If its about himself, I'm sure Trump is quite eager to soak up anything anyone has to say.
 
Mmmmm! Delicious speculation!

The House Judiciary Committee believes it has evidence Trump asked Matt Whitaker, at the time the acting AG, whether Manhattan U.S. attorney Geoffrey Berman could regain control of his office's probe into Michael Cohen and his real-estate biz, WSJ reports.

"Any evidence that Mr. Trump sought to intervene in the federal prosecutors' probe could propel further lines of inquiry by lawmakers into whether he has tried to obstruct the investigation into his business dealings."
