My guess is that Mueller will also turn over to the NY State AG all the evidence of money laundering by the Trump clan.

Trump can't fire or pardon his way out of that.

    Not only that, but the Martin Act gives the New York State Attorney General broad authority over any entity in New York State that solicits and manages funds from other investors. Schneiderman could literally seize all of Trump's assets and leave the entire family penniless.
 
They know exactly what they are doing, no one is stopping them from releasing da memo. Who knew the "nuffinburger" was just more projection. :lol:
 
And yet a shadow persists. The highlight of last year’s summit was a speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who earned ardent applause for his rousing defense of globalization. With the U.S. receding from the world, China has raced to fill the vacuum, a development with troubling implications. “If you’re American now, you have to answer the question,” says Snyder, the Yale historian. “Why is democracy a good idea if it brings you to this?” What good is democracy, the world wants to know, if the result is Trump?

The world’s elite may have the luxury of ignoring Trump, but for American liberals he is still a daily nightmare. Some U.S. delegates at Davos told me they were embarrassed to say where they’re from. “I travel, and people are laughing at us,” said Victoria Pender, a Berkeley-based consultant. “I’ve started telling people I identify as a Californian instead.”

Lolololollol

Da snowflake in chief, little sensitive donnie, needs a safe space, and would like to suppress freedom of speech for it

This fragile **** is your alpha male champion? The dude who's in bed with Putin, and can't even make it past number 1 on amendments that he respects, somehow represents American values?

Dude will be remembered as a disgrace and the worst president by those who aren't in the alternate dimension of Fox News

Impossible Choices: Teens and Food Insecurity in America
Read the full report.

Findings from a small, exploratory study on how food insecurity affects teens (ages 13 to 18) and threatens their well-being. Across 20 focus groups in 10 diverse communities, we heard similar themes:

  • Teen food insecurity is widespread. Even in focus groups where participants were not food insecure, teens were aware of classmates and neighbors who regularly did not have enough to eat.
  • Teens fear stigma around hunger and actively hide it. Consequently, many teens refuse to accept food or assistance in public settings or from people outside a trusted circle of friends and family.
  • Food-insecure teens strategize about how to ease their hunger and make food last longer for the whole family., Some go over to friends’ or relatives’ houses to eat. Some save their school lunch for the weekend.
  • Parents try to protect teens from hunger and from bearing responsibility for providing for themselves or others. However, teens in food-insecure families routinely take on this role, going hungry so younger siblings can eat or finding ways to bring in food and money.
  • Teens overwhelmingly prefer to earn money through a formal job, but their job prospects are limited, particularly in high-poverty communities. And often, teens can’t make enough money to make a dent in family food insecurity.
  • When faced with acute food insecurity, teens in all but two of the communities said that youth engage in criminal behavior, ranging from shoplifting food directly to selling drugs and stealing items to resell for cash. These behaviors were most common among young men in communities with the most limited job options.
  • Teens in all 10 communities and in 13 of the 20 focus groups talked about some youth selling sex for money to pay for food. These themes arose most strongly in high-poverty communities where teens also described sexually coercive environments. Sexual exploitation most commonly took the form of transactional dating relationships with older adults.
  • In a few communities, teens talked about going to jail or failing school (so they could attend summer classes and get school lunch) as viable strategies for ensuring regular meals.
The story that emerged from conversations with these teens is one of limited options that leaves them with impossible choices. In this report, we use teens’ own words to tell this story and draw on our findings to make recommendations for policy and practice

U.S. Justice Department recovers FBI officials' missing text messages

The U.S. Justice Department’s internal watchdog said Thursday it recovered five months of missing text messages between two Federal Bureau of Investigation officials whom Republicans have accused of bias against President Donald Trump.

In a letter to several key Republican lawmakers, Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he would not object if the Justice Department shares with congressional committees the messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page that were recovered using forensic tools.

In texts that were previously released to Congress, Strzok and Page referred to Trump as an “idiot” and a “loathsome human.” After news reports about the messages, lawmakers demanded to see them amid Republican concerns that agency officials were biased against Trump.

Strzok and Page both worked on the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and they also each briefly worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe into whether the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Their cellphones are just two of “thousands” whose texts were not backed up and stored on the FBI’s systems between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017, according to a Justice Department official.

The FBI has blamed the snafu on “misconfiguration issues” that occurred while the bureau was rolling out new software updates for Samsung 5 devices.

But Republicans have claimed the timing is suspect, especially because May 17 marks the date that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel.

Strzok and Pages’ text messages have become a focal point of congressional Republicans’ investigation into whether the FBI is biased against Trump and gave Clinton more favorable treatment in its investigation of her private email use.

Horowitz, whose office is conducting its own review into the FBI’s handling of the Clinton matter, discovered the texts over the summer and informed Mueller. Strzok was then reassigned. Page, meanwhile, left the team in July after her 45-day detail ended.

While Republicans have accused the two of bias against Trump, some of the texts suggest he was just one of many people targeted in their routine political banter.


At times, for instance, they were also critical of Clinton.

In addition, another Strzok text also appears to contradict the notion that the FBI is out to get Trump, after he told Page he was hesitant to join Mueller’s team because of his “gut sense and concern there’s no big there there.”
 
What do you do when you find out that you're under investigation for obstruction of justice? You try to obstruct some more justice that's what :lol:

Aka the Donny double down



Can't wait for the dotard to meet with Mueller and begin incriminating himself left and right. I'm certain Muellers already gonna have all the answers to whatever he'll ask

Trump wants a wall just to have a legacy monument. Just another Trump "property" he can talk about and say he built --- "it's beautiful, it's the greatest wall ever.. even greater than The Great Wall, which is a beautiful wall but this wall ...a lot of people are saying it's the best wall, almost everyone...if you talk to them."

He knows that **** ain't keeping nobody out. Cartels ducking the DEA on the regular, but A WALL is what'll baffle them lol... **** is so silly.
 
He probably has no choice because he was the product of an oppressive political system that didn't afford him equal opportunity throughout his childhood.

is that what people working st McDonald's stewing over as they make my big mac? :lol :{
 

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is cutting as many as 1,000 jobs at its headquarters this year and next, the latest effort to streamline a retail empire under threat from Amazon.com Inc.

Economy bumping like acne... Wallmart is slipping over a bigger theme of brick & mortor stores being victims of changing shopping habits of consumers towards online.

Amazon being tricked on & lobbied by 20+ cities to get their 2nd Head quarters for jobs & logistics.
