Where's Melania?

And where's the anti-bullying campaign she said she was going to lead?

Out tomorrow from Ronald Kessler, a former Washington Post reporter, "The Trump White House: Changing the Rules of the Game." And one anecdote from the book showcases Melania's power in the Trump household.

[...]

'Trump lit into the butler, screaming at him and calling him a ‘dumb ass’ for scheduling the tour at 3 p.m. when workers would be shifting furniture around."

[...]

Melania entered and said: “I don’t think you should talk to Tony in that tone."

[...]

Senecal said that the next morning Trump, without explanation, handed him $2,000 in twenties: “It was his way of apologizing.... Melania rules the roost."

  Axios

Excuse me? Apologizing? Not at all. That's his way of paying off someone to settle down and not tell anyone what happened.

Should have paid him more.

Something on TV is upsetting Snowflake this morning

Somebody must have mentioned Stormy Daniels.

Sometimes the truth slips out

And the truth-teller gets the heave-ho.

The Alamosa County [Colorado] Republicans issued an apology on Facebook on Sunday, saying that the author of the original post has resigned.

[...]

In the apology, the group called the post "inappropriate and offensive."

  The Hill

But not untrue?

"The regrettable post was made with the intention of condemning poverty, not persons affected by poverty, and was not meant to insult anyone."

Surely it was meant to insult Democrats.

Yet another magazine cover to hang on his golf club walls

GOP war on women advances in the Trump era

The “Breast Cancer” website and related pages were removed from within the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office on Women’s Health (OWH) website [between June and December 2017]. While content about mammogram breast cancer screening remains, informational pages and factsheets about the disease, including symptoms, treatment, risk factors, and public no- or low-cost cancer screening programs, have been entirely removed and are no longer found elsewhere on the OWH site. Among the material removed is information about provisions of the Affordable Care Act that require coverage of no-cost breast cancer screenings for certain women, as well as links to a free cancer screening program administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The office did not proactively announce or explain the removals. These removals are part of wider changes to the OWH website that include the removal of resources related to lesbian and bisexual health, minority women’s health, and other topics.

[...]

An informational page on “Mammograms,” separate from the “Breast Cancer” website is still live on the OWH site, containing information about common screening procedures.

  Sunlight Foundation

Well, how nice.

Although the “Screening and diagnosis...” page [...] that was part of the “Breast Cancer” website now redirects to the “Mammograms” page, a significant amount of content has been removed and is not included on the “Mammograms” page or elsewhere on the OWH website.

Jesus, these people.

China retaliates with tariffs

China has implemented retaliatory tariffs of up to 25% on $3bn in food imports from the US, raising uncertainty over the possibility of a trade war between the two countries.

  Guardian

And pleasing US agricultural growers/farmers to no end, I'm sure.

Fresh and dried fruits, almonds, pistachios and wine would be subject to an additional 15% tariff. Eight other items, including frozen pork, would be subject to a 25% tariff. The tariffs would begin on Monday, the ministry said.

The tariffs were in line with a list of potential duties on $3bn worth of US products released two weeks ago in response to Donald Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminium.

[...]

[S]ome in China are calling for stronger retaliatory measures on soybeans and other agricultural products as well as big-ticket US goods such as Boeing aircraft. China, the third largest consumer of US pork, bought $1.1bn in pork products from the US last year, according to the US Meat Export Federation.

Yes, we have a dumbshit hateful lying bastard for a president

Why should Mexico stop immigrants from South America at the US border?



I'm not sure if he means to use the "Nuclear Option" to change the rules of Congress or the nuclear option to kill immigrants on Mexico's "Northern Border".

Our stolen country.  (If you want to have a good cry, watch "100 Years" on Netflix.)



"No longer works."

If DACA is dead, it's because Trump killed it.  But maybe if he repeats this lie enough, all his base will believe it.  But why should he be putting the blame on Democrats?  His base surely approved of him killing it.

It's Easter Sunday

WWJD

Caravans coming!

April Fool's Day.



No more DACA deal?!

Just days ago (March 23), he was blaming the lack of DACA safety on Democrats.



What's "getting more dangerous" is this fool.  He's loathsome and dangerously mental.




We need a wall around you, ya effin' dirtbag.  Iron bars will suffice.

Make America Toxic Again

The Trump administration is expected to announce that it will roll back automobile gas mileage and pollution standards.

Automakers wanted the government to relax the current standards, which were imposed by the Obama administration to combat climate change. They say the rules will cost the industry billions of dollars and raise vehicle prices.
