Leave Ted Alone!

Hasn't Ted Cruz suffered enough? Trump called his wife ugly and accused his father of being involved in the assassination of President Kennedy and Ted chose to abandon both his wife and father and suck up to Trump anyway. Isn't that enough humiliation for one person? Leave Ted Alone!



And, what does Ted have against children, anyway?

When candidate Donald Trump prepared to give a major energy speech during the 2016 campaign, one of his closest advisers provided a pre-speech review to senior United Arab Emirates officials, an unorthodox move that caught the attention of federal investigators, according to emails and text messages uncovered by a House Oversight Committee investigation.

“The Trump Administration has virtually obliterated the lines normally separating government policy making from corporate and foreign interests,” according to a report overseen by House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, who commissioned the investigation into back channel business dealings between certain Trump aides and Middle Eastern countries.

Two weeks before Trump was scheduled to deliver the energy policy speech, Thomas Barrack, a California investment tycoon with extensive contacts in the Middle East and who later helped oversee Trump’s inauguration, provided a former business associate inside the United Arab Emirates with an advance copy of the candidate’s planned remarks. The associate then told Barrack he shared them with UAE and Saudi government officials, after which Barrack arranged for language requested by the UAE officials to be added to the speech with the help of Trump’s campaign manager at the time, Paul Manafort.

“This is the most likely final version of the speech. It has the language you want,” Manafort confirmed in an email to Barrack on the day of the speech
, according to the report. Manafort has since gone to prison for financial crimes unrelated to his campaign work.

The White House declined to comment.

That is interesting, since she and Bill never accepted money from countries with questionable morals. (Or were you being facetious?)😀

Do a little research on the Maryland 7th. It's not all in the Wire.

I used to work in the 7th--was surprised to hear what a terrible place it is!

Everyone knows that pensions, like tax cuts, "pay for themselves":

Spent about 10-15 minutes with Obama a few weeks ago. Was going to mention to him how thoroughly disgusted I am with Donald Trump as a person. Made me upset because I felt Donald Trump was "winning" vs. me because he was on my brain while meeting with Obama.
Side note.... Obama met with me - a male Jew, another male Jew, a female Korean American, a female Hispanic American, and a female Iranian American. Treated all of us with equal respect. Took the time to talk with us and listen to us. Genuinely seemed interested as he himself initiated the conversation/s - asking US about ourselves - and never made it about him. Was kind and gracious.
Can't help but wonder what Trump would have said, thought, done if he had met with us.

Did you get around to asking him if he'd buy any of your old jerseys or hats?

No but now that you mentioned that, I'm a little ticked off that idiot me didn't bring in a 2016 World Series baseball for him to autograph.
