While the circus was occurring...this happened too

House Dems blocked from entering Meeting with ICE

Trump Co. awarded 10 year Trademark brand protection in China Tuesday...


So to connect the dots:

Trump tries in vain since 2006 to get TM protection inside China; keeps losing court battles
Trump is elected, speaks out of turn against the One China Policy.
Trump changes position and publically states he recognizes and honors One China
Trump is awarded a difficult to obtain 10 year TM for his brand within China.

But it could be just one big coincidence, not a violation of the Emoluments Clause.
Nothing to see here...

Joe Manchin lets his true colors show once again

In an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN discussing trump picking fights with judges, Wolf asks what advice would you give to the President?

Manchin responds:

" There are three branches of government and they have to work together. My advice to Trump is if we want to move forward with our agenda you can't pick fights with the judiciary."

Exactly who's agenda? And what parts of that agenda?

At one point in the interview he starts..." If the Democrats...uh, my party" he corrects...

Hey Joe, who's side are you on ?

I know WV is a tough state for a Dem to hold, but geez...

Steve Clemons on MSNBC now

Senior white house staff told him last night this is a keystone cops operation going on in the white house now.


And that not vetting the EO was intentional.

Holy crap.

Well actually 100% of the proceeds will go to Planned Parenthood. But who doesn't enjoy teasing the other side!

On edit: I'm not the person who created the gofundme....just mentioning it here.

Can discussing Barron Trump be banned altogether?

Or at least a category: "Leave kids Out of This" on the Alert Abuse pink screen?
