what 3rd time playing golf in his 100 days... when he said if elected he would not be playing golf. what a liar and illegitimate president.

Trump, a frequent critic of Obama’s golfing, played 18 holes Sunday with Rory McIlroy
A spokeswoman had previously told reporters that the president played only a “few holes."

Trump used to have a slightly different opinion of presidents playing golf
"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf."

another one wpo
| Quote: |
As a candidate, Donald Trump attacked Barack Obama dozens of times for playing too much golf. "I'm going to be working for you,” Trump said at a rally last year. “I'm not going to have time to go play golf.”
Since taking office four weeks ago, Trump has made six trips to the golf course. Sensitive to charges of hypocrisy on this issue, the White House has maneuvered to minimize coverage of these outings and to downplay how much time the president spends on the links.

here is another right wing hypocrite. maybe he went to Trumped up University. He sounds like all the right wing idiots on this forum that are just plain stupid.
How does he not remember where he went to college when it was a seminar by his employer on how to cook a steak and run a salad bar.

Lawmaker who intro'd bill to purge Democratic professors caught in most flaming-hot resume pad ever
| Quote: | The legislation proposes that a “person shall not be hired as a professor or instructor member of the faculty at such an institution if the person’s political party affiliation on the date of hire would cause the percentage of faculty belonging to one political party to exceed by ten percent the percentage of faculty belonging to the other political party.”
So, where did state Sen. Chelgren attend college? Because surely he would’ve learned this is both un-American AND unconstitutional, right? He claimed he had a degree from Forbco Management School, but that turned out to be false and perhaps the most flaming hot, embarrassing resume pad of all time:
But State Sen. Mark Chelgren's alleged alma mater is actually a company that operated a Sizzler steak house franchise in southern California and he doesn't have a "degree," Ed Failor, a spokesman for the Iowa State Republicans, told NBC News.
"This was a management course he took when he worked for Sizzler, kind of like Hamburger University at McDonald's," Failor said. "He got a certificate."
Even though he deleted mention the degree off his website, a Google search still prominently shows the old info (see below). And state Sen. Chelgren told a reporter just last week that it was so long ago, who can remember?
In a telephone interview last week, Chelgren was vague about Forbco. He said it was located outside of Los Angeles and that he got his business degree "around '88 or '89. It's going back a ways so I don't remember." |

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/new-epa-head-told-congress-he-never-used-personal-email-for-government-business-but-it-turns-out-he-did/ar-AAnJAEf?ocid=spartandhp
New EPA head told Congress he never used personal email for government business. But it turns out he did.
| Quote: | Attorney General Jeff Sessions isn’t the only Trump Cabinet official being pressed to explain omissions in congressional testimony at his confirmation hearing.
An environmental group and several Democratic senators are demanding a review of the personal email account of Scott Pruitt, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, after he said during confirmation hearings that he never used that account for official business as Oklahoma state attorney general.
When asked whether he had ever used a private email account while on the job, Pruitt told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee: “I use only my official OAG [office of the attorney general] email address and government-issued phone to conduct official business.”
Yet several of Pruitt’s official emails, released in a lawsuit in Oklahoma, were copied to his personal email — an Apple account that was partially blacked out before being released.
“Lo and behold, the documents Scott Pruitt wanted to keep hidden have confirmed our suspicion that he used his personal email address to conduct official state business and that he was not honest with the Senate about this during his confirmation process,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).
Whitehouse, who has championed the need to address climate change, called Pruitt “the polluters’ tool.”
The emails copied to Pruitt’s personal account included ones from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a corporate-backed group that focuses on state legislatures; the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, which has substantial interests in EPA issues; and members of Pruitt’s staff.
The Pruitt email flap dates back to a request on Jan. 5, 2015, by the Center for Media and Democracy, a watchdog group, for access to then-Oklahoma Attorney General Pruitt’s email official records under the state’s Open Records Act. An Oklahoma county judge, Aletia Timmons, ordered the release of the emails two years later, criticizing “an abject failure to provide prompt and reasonable access to documents.”
The Center for Media and Democracy raised the issue Feb. 13 when it looked at the initial bunch of 411 emails released by the state attorney general’s office. Since then, more documents have been released showing other examples of Pruitt being copied on his personal email.
In one, Sarah K. Magruder Lyle, then vice president of strategic initiatives at the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, urges Pruitt to side with her group’s oil refiners against the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard, a rule which requires blending renewable fuels into gasoline. After describing and enclosing her group’s petition that the EPA waive certain requirements, Lyle says “AFPM remains very interested in the prospect of your state filing a similar waiver request highlighting the environmental harm caused by the RFS mandate which we discussed previously.”
A note from an ALEC official dealt with arrangements for Pruitt to speak at an ALEC convention. |

Didn't Trump run on a platform against private servers?
| Quote: | Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a private email account to conduct public business as governor of Indiana, at times discussing sensitive matters and homeland security issues.
Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governor’s residence to the state’s response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pence’s top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.
Cyber-security experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that personal accounts like Pence's are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pence's personal account was hacked last summer.
Furthermore, advocates for open government expressed concerns about transparency because personal emails aren't immediately captured on state servers that are searched in response to public records requests.

Caught between Trump and Russia, Germans begin to ratchet up their military might
| Quote: |
With the Trump administration pressing allies to shoulder more of their own defense and fears of Russian aggression, Germans, who have largely rejected militarism since the Nazi horror, are debating a military buildup in a manner rarely seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall. |

right wing area is now crying ..... after voting for the moron
exactly who is hiring the foreigners... again right wingers... how about trumps mara-loco?

Missouri's Tourism community discovers big problems with Trump's Immigration plan
| Quote: |
The city of Branson, Missouri has built itself around being the midwest getaway destination. With Disney and Universal theme parks on the coasts, Branson has filled that gap for midwesterners unprepared to make the long journey.
The community features numerous travel destinations, from theme parks like Silver Dollar City to nightly performance shows — after all, who can miss going to see Yakov Smirnoff or Ray Stevens?
In the heart of real conservative Missouri, Branson went 78% for Trump and only 18% for Hillary Clinton. You’d think that a community this conservative would be cheering the president on, right?
Well, it turns out they didn’t quite expect the results of the President’s travel bans and anti-immigrant measures. |
www.ozarksfirst.com/...
A change out of Washington D.C. has businesses in Branson scrambling before the season.
An exemption in the H-2B Visa program – allowing temporary workers from other countries to come into tourist destinations – could leave hundreds of jobs in Branson unfilled in 2017, many of which are vital to the city.
"There is just such a tremendous shortage [of workers] in this area,” says Chateau on the Lake general manager, Stephen Marshall. “It's not that we don't want to hire locals, there's just not enough."
The Chateau, like many Branson businesses, relies on foreign workers to fill positions like service work, lawn car and housekeeping.
