Skipping my question so soon?   I guess it is a little scary....

There is a lot of that going on.

Like apparently many "Americans" in the GOP they truly do not care how degraded our Democracy becomes.  They will happily bend over for Putin and his puppet so long as the wealthy get tax cuts, and the brown people are kept out.

Putin is being dealt with

Sucker.

Jews have been in Detroit from the beginning...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Metro_Detroit

And Detroit could use some Russian immigrants, the population of Detroit is still in decline.

Of note, Detroit has a thriving Mexican Town...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexicantown%2C_Detroit

I am sure that the people of Detroit are against building walls.

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/02/18/nessel-michigan-lawsuit-trump-border-wall-emergency/2911820002/

Detroit was once a wealthy city, and Detroit can bounce back.

Salute,

Tony V.

Barr now shown to have lied to Congress:

CRIST: Reports have emerged recently, general, that members of the Special Counsel's team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your March 24th letter ... Do you know what they are referencing with that?

BARR: No, I don't.

...

VAN HOLLEN: Did - did Bob Mueller support your conclusion?

BARR: I don't know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.


This was over a week after Barr received Mueller’s letter.

I would say “Drip, drip, drip” but this is more a cascade of buckets.

The next two days should be interesting to say the least.

The People v Trump, GOP and Russia.

Episode One.

Meanwhile, the GOP's elected members continue to prove they are clueless and lack compassion or sense.

Seems like cause for Contempt of Congress, if not a simple pursuit of impeachment for perjury.

“I had reason to suspect from his letter and our subsequent phone call your honor, but I wouldn’t say I know Mr. Mueller’s thinking.”

Weakest possible defense, but it’s all he’s got.

Economic News Update

The U.S. economy added far more jobs than expected in April as payrolls in the services sector grew by the most in more than two years, according to data released Wednesday by ADP and Moody’s Analytics.

Private payrolls grew by 275,000 last month, the biggest increase since July, when they expanded by 284,000. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected private payrolls growth of 177,000.

Services-providing jobs increased by 223,000 in April, led by a gain of 59,000 positions in professional and business services. Education and health services companies added 54,000 jobs while employment within the leisure and hospitality industry expanded by 53,000.
