It is no wonder the GOP is doing everything in its power to sweep “Lyin” Brett Kavanaugh’s professional record under the rug. Barely anything has come out yet and already he’s been found to have given criminally false testimony at his last confirmation hearing. He may have to wait till his prison term his up to do any more judging, high or low. He needs to be drummed out of the legal profession, not promoted.

And about that oh-so-wonderful economy:

U.S. average hourly earnings adjusted for inflation fell 0.2 percent in July from a year earlier, data released on Friday showed, notching the lowest reading since 2012.

Red won’t believe it’s happening.

Apparently Omarosa was the talent in 45’s Comms shop. She’s picking up right where Avanatti left off. The fully lawless actors of trump world brining their slime to the heart of our Fedral Government.

Trump needs to be driven mad with all his friends and family convicted and incarcerated. That would be an accomplishment signifying America’s continued good faith and resilience.

Pay site, cable guy

One would think news of POTUS attempting to compromise potential witnesses in a federal investigation would compel any person in a good faith discussion of the Trump administration to at least go find a news source and learn what's happening.    Do you have reason to think Trump is NOT doing this?

No, no, no.  You have it all wrong.  Executive just got a 17% pay raise over the last year.  Their pay is up 72 percent or $7.8 million since 2009 (worker comp up 2%, a little over $1,000, during that period).  CEO's now make 312 times their average worker.

So everything is going to plan! 

And with Republican super PAC's racking in the cash thanks to those tax cuts (Ryan's super PAC apparently has over $100 million ready to play for the 2018 House Races) the Billionaires will fight to make sure Trump's "populist" economy stays right where it is.

Mr. Fitzgerald ran for Congress in California as a Democrat in 2010 and 2012, but did not receive the party’s endorsement in either case. He is running as a Republican in November but said he identifies more as an independent.

TRUMP WORLD
Great week of watching on TRUMP WORLD…..
First of a all the Great Orange Asshole thinks that he has slipped the knife into Omarosa and made a clean getaway—"Gee, Omarosa, I hear that you are leaving us….what happened?" (Only someone as dumb as Trump would have fallen for an explanation like that…) It’s my guess that someone around him mentioned that she was making $180K/year…."What? We’re paying her $180 thousand dollars a year? For what? She doesn’t do anything….Do we need a $180 thousand dollar a year Token? In my opinionI Dr. Carson covers our Token Quotient quite nicely, thank you. Let’s get rid of her…..” “Besides, we can use her slot for someone else….like Tiffany…..she needs a job….”
So Trump has his dupe, Gen. Kelly do the job on her (to Kelly’s huge enjoyment, no doubt…) and it looks like it's a done deal to the Trumpeter. Then, out of nowhere, a big black bat (formerly known as Omarosa) drops down out of the rafters and starts fluttering around his head, getting stuck in his ridiculous hairdo and, in general, ruining Trump’s day completely….
“Who is responsible for this? I told you that we didn’t need any Negroes in the White House. Why the hell do you think that they call it the White House? Of course nobody dared to tell the minotaur that it was his idea to bring Omarosa into the White House. And now, worse than anything, the dumb dog shows that she was paying close attention to the Orange Asshole back in the day….she has recordings from inside the WH!!! “Quick! Get me Rudy! Call Jeff Sessions! Maybe Jeff can have her arrested!….Perhaps Rudy has some friends back in New York that will kill her for the right price….”
Tune in next week as the Trumpeter moves inexorably toward resignation.

Yes.

The Democrats rejected his BS.

The GOP voters embraced it, despite this: "On May 29, 2018, the California Republican Party and the Republican Jewish Coalition issued a joint statement condemning Fitzgerald and his run for U.S. Congress, urging voters to reject his campaign.On May 29, 2018, the California Republican Party and the Republican Jewish Coalition issued a joint statement condemning Fitzgerald and his run for U.S. Congress, urging voters to reject his campaign."

23% of the voters chose him.

Republicans issued this right before the vote...after having giving him their endorsement...after never looking into why the Democrats didn't endorse him in 2010 or 2012...because of a party rule that gives an automatic endorsement to anyone with an (R) next to their name.

As you said, party of stupid.

BTW, I would bet that many if not most of the Replican voters who cast their ballot for Fitzgerald don't regret it, and will do so again in the general.  Notable not because I think they share his views, but because the GOP has become so partisan and tribal that they would rather vote for an anti-semite than a Democrat.

Don't you still have to pay for it?  I think that's Kid's issue, rather than hiding his whereabouts.
