I wonder if Trump will continue to tout the stock market after his own actions have had a direct negative impact.

It's a good thing nobody's trying to leave the world's biggest single market to try and negotiate free trade with that loon oh wait.

There's now a growing push from the psychos on the right saying Cruz couldn't possibly have been the shooter, and that he was set up by both the school and the FBI. Their narrative is that he has the mind of a twelve year old, and the school had a "popular kid" call him and tell him to bring his gun in to help with the drill (???) and he just oh so eagerly did it because he's a good kid. Then the FBI apparently shot everybody and then caught him after he "fled in terror"

I never want to go on Twitter again

BUSINESS INSIDER - Tillerson and Mattis are reportedly trying to hold Trump back from striking North Korea

Both The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal have portrayed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis as trying to caution President Donald Trump against a strike, and the national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, as advocating it.

The reports come after months of mixed messages and dozens of shifts in the US's stance on North Korea.

The bloody-nose strategy, which calls for a sharp, violent response to some North Korean provocation, puts a lot of weight on the US's properly calibrating an attack on North Korea and Pyongyang's reading the limited strike as anything other than the opening salvo of an all-out war.

http://www.businessinsider.com/tillerson-mattis-trump-north-korea-strike-2018-1


For those worried about America picking fights with North Korea, prepping McMaster to be replaced could be a good thing.

I was honestly wondering why the reports were saying that Mattis and Kelly were the ones pushing for his removal. This makes a lot of sense with this context, thanks.

TWITTER - PublicPolicyPolling

A new Suffolk poll has Democrats up 15 on the generic Congressional ballot, but how does that play out at the district level? Clients have released 19 polls we've done for them in GOP held districts so far this year. Here's what we found...

https://twitter.com/ppppolls/status/969279817546952704?s=19

Of the 19 GOP held districts, Democrats lead in 15 of them, are tied in another, and trail slightly in 3 of them. Democrats are up in GOP held districts even in places like Kansas and Kentucky.

https://twitter.com/ppppolls/status/969280181692137473?s=19


That's the highest generic-party-candidate lead I've seen before, and it looks like in individual districts with actual politicians that kind of lead is staying consistent. Throw in the 39-4 stat of which party has flipped more seats since Donald's election, and...I mean, this blue wave is looking to make an impact.

Now if only our midterms can avoid this whole Rusher-thing.....

Gonna post these two articles back to back.

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376250-carson-cancels-31k-dining-set-order

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson on Thursday ordered his agency to cancel an order for a $31,000 dining room set for his personal office.

"I was as surprised as anyone to find out that a $31,000 dining set had been ordered," Carson said in a statement. "I have requested that the order be canceled. We will find another solution for the furniture replacement."

...

However, HUD staff member Helen Foster claimed she was replaced in her role because she refused to find a way around a $5,000 limit for redecorating Carsons office.


https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/us/politics/ben-carson-hud-poverty-plans.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio Ben Carson does not like the creature comforts, at least not for low-income Americans reliant on the government for a helping hand.

...

Compassion, Mr. Carson explained in an interview, means not giving people a comfortable setting that would make somebody want to say: Ill just stay here. They will take care of me.

...

Mr. Carson interjected. We are talking about incentivizing those who help themselves, he said, before again asking minutes later about how comfortable the facility was letting people get.
