Perhaps we all live in a bit of a dream...

Small world, just as Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort is balls deep in Russian muck:

Manafort's business partner Rick Davis is also similarly entrenched:

Could go further with Oleg Deripaska, Nathan Rothschild and prominent UK politicians and how that also ties to McCain, but I'll leave that to you for now.

You really do live in a dream..

I would say it is more of a nightmare. Imagine actually having those thoughts and having to live with them every day.

Hmmmmm not good for the tourism industry though, how many billion dollars and jobs are predicted to be lost over the next four years? Also since alternative energy sources are pretty profitable and generate more jobs why is he supporting coal? Hmm Russian steel? Hmmmmm free golf holidays every weekend? Trump is good for Trump and a few select individuals.

Well yes, but he HAS drained the swamp.

In order to enlarge it and refill with his own reptiles.

All President Trump needs to do is to continue to create more jobs and everything will take care of itself. 😛

The Wall Street Journal just tweeted this about Trumps former national security adviser:

"Mike Flynn has offered to be interviewed in probe of Trump team's Russia ties in exchange for immunity"

It looks like the general mood on employment front in the America looks good, whether this is due to President Trump effect etc does not matter coz if American is doing fine the future will be bright. 😛

Edit: Other news (including opponents) are also reporting the rather similar figures and with consistency of not giving the credit to President Trump. Guess what, people know who has helped them and that's good enough. 😛

[url= http://www.mrctv.org/blog/14-companies-created-saved-12m-us-jobs-between-trump-s-election-and-inauguration ]Impartial news here.[/url]

“The door is open,” Alibaba Executive Chairman Jack Ma declared as he announced plans to create a million new U.S. jobs after meeting with Pres.-elect Donald Trump – but, he’s not the only major employer to publicize plans to hire since the election.

Between Election Day (Nov. 8 ) and Trump’s inauguration (Jan. 20), more than a dozen large companies have joined Alibaba in announcing they will be adding American jobs or canceling plans to outsource them.

And, unlike Pres. Obama’s fuzzy-math claims of Stimulus job creation, these are at least 1.16 million jobs that have been actually created or saved since the election – before Trump has even taken the oath of office.

GM: 1,000+
Walmart 10,000
Bayer 3,000
Lockheed 1,800
Amazon 100,000
Alibaba 1,000,000
Fiat 2,000
Sprint 5,000
Tesla-Panasonic 1,400
SolarCity 3,500
IBM 25,000
Carrier 1,000
Ford 5,000
Apple (undisclosed number of jobs added to 2013 expansion plans)

Total: 1,158,700

While the president-elect has been quick to take credit for announcements like these, [b]just how much of this is actually due to the Trump Effect is unknown. But, one thing is clear: business optimism, like the stock market, appears to be up.[/b]

He has published no policy on jobs, he has not worked out his tax policy, the vast majority of the jobs are clearly attributed to previous anouncements and plans put in place well before the election started. The reason they are not attributed to Trump is that they can't be.

isn't alibaba a source for cheap Chinese manufacturing?
Solar city is Elon Musks gig, surely entirely unrelated to Trumps policies and influence.
Infact, can you give any empirical data that suggests that Trump is directly responsible for these companies creating employment opportunities in this time scale?

So Flynn may be the first to crack. Hopefully there will be a queue outside the FBI HQ as others look to save their skins.

Will have to look for the volley of Trump tweets to see how rattled he is.

Alibaba has less then 36,500 employees. Another million is quite an expansion. If you read up on it they're not employing people but hoping firms that haven't yet signed on with them will sign up and become more successful. Bit of a reach basically.

So, what does Flynn want immunity from?

Is he about to drop Trump in it, after the orange one hung him out to dry?

Maybe this is why Trump's lapdog Nunes is trying anything to stall the investigation he's supposed to be heading up.

It's all getting a bit banana republic

How can that be, when two-fifths of Americans are unemployed?

I had to laugh...

Trump tells one lie, backs it up with one more, Spicer then adds two, followed by three from Bannon, and five from Breitbart... We call this the Fib-o-Nazi sequence.

40% unemployment? Blimey, it's worse than I thought.

We don't know exactly but in Flynn's own words (NBC interview last year) "You don't ask for immunity unless you've committed a crime"

There were further tweets last night which suggested that the FBI have turned down his offer and that they have enough on the case without his help. Which if true probably leaves Flynn screwed.

A perv, a megalomaniacal Fascist and a con artist enter a bar together. The bartender looks up and asks, "What'll it be, President Trump?"

42% apparently. Kind of surprising that America functions at all with figures like that.

Chewkw
Impartial news here.

It's almost as if you knew it was nonsense. Otherwise why would you feel the need to specify?

Anyway - this is MRC TV:
Its stated mission is to "prove—through sound scientific research—that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values."

Sounds completely unbiased to me.

The Trumpster has obviously been a massive failure as far as his grand schemes are concerned, but it's important to be aware of the damage his stupidity is doing at a smaller scale, for example:

Energy Department climate office bans use of phrase ‘climate change’:

And, wow, how bad has it got when even the Oil Companies are asking Trump to tone down his attacks on Environmental law!

ExxonMobil, the largest American oil group, has written to the Trump administration urging it to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate accord agreed to at the end of 2015. In a letter to President Donald Trump’s special assistant for international energy and the environment, Exxon argues that the Paris accord is “an effective framework for addressing the risks of climate change.” Exxon argues in its letter that there are several reasons for the U.S. to stay in the Paris accord, including the opportunity to support greater use of natural gas, which creates lower carbon-dioxide emissions than coal when burned for power generation.

Peter Trelenberg, Exxon’s manager for environmental policy and planning, writes in the letter: “It is prudent that the United States remain a party to the Paris agreement to ensure a level playing field, so that global energy markets remain as free and competitive as possible.”

Darren Woods, the new chief executive who took over at the start of the year [when former C.E.O. Rex Tillerson became secretary of state], said in his first blog post that “climate risks warrant action” from businesses, governments, and consumers, and described the pledges made at Paris as “an effective framework for all countries to address rising emissions.”

It's an interesting point. If the US uses it's cheap (but very polluting) coal reserves to fuel a short term economic boom, whilst the rest of the world invests heavily in renewables, what happens when the coal runs out??

As said many times do you want to be the first or last low carbon economy, times are still relatively good so investing in the future makes a lot of sense.

Well as Trump haters now represent nearly 70% of Americans.
This Russian story won't die will it, going to be hard to escape from the backlash when more comes out isn't it. What a way to try and be president.

Well that nice Mr Trump has donated his first pay cheque of $78000 to the National Park Service.

Mind you, he's signed several orders cutting environmental protection budgets by $2.5billion.

I suspect that Trump and his administration are about to face their first proper test of their skills (or otherwise). With the recent Chemical weapons attack in Syria, do they act (they were very critical of Obama's lack of action under similar circumstances in 2012) to punish the Syrian Government? If they don't they will draw calls of "he doesn't want to annoy his Russian chums", if they do, then they risk pulling the US into another foreign war, which will probably not go down well with Trumps home grown voters.

He's probably about to find out, that in Politics, it's often a case of Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't........
