More CNN reporting:

"Sources: Trump ordered Nielsen and Pompeo to immediately shit down part of border two weeks ago, but backed down"

I guess it is kind of a shit show, I just didn't expect Trump to be so self aware about it.

It works with his base, and that's all he needs to stand a chance come the second civil war in 2021 when Warren is refused an inauguration ceremony because trump wants a 2nd recount.

A Chinese woman was arrested this past weekend after gaining entry to Mar-A-Lago while attempting to enter under the false pretense that a "United Nations Chinese American Association" event was being held.

And another person gone.

Is there something big in the works if Trump is on a firing streak again?

Mar-A-Lago breach cited as the reason for the dismissal

They are just going deep and we are getting conflicting statements, nothing new for this administration. Rumor that this has been in the works for over a week, so before the chinese lady at Maralago. And also this gem that was revealed at the time it originally broke.

The Secret Service said in a statement that it "does not determine who is invited or welcome at Mar-a-Lago; this is the responsibility of the host entity.

"The Mar-a-Lago club management determines which members and guests are granted access to the property."

LBJ was essentially thrown from office by the Democrat Party over Vietnam. He withdrew from re-election.

All other major wartime Presidents have served multiple terms. I include Nixon in this, even though he resigned.

[Salodin]

So technically its 100%, since we know trump ain't leaving without an election.

Trump teases new tariffs for Europe after Airbus received "unfair subsidies." What he is actually doing is fighting on behalf of Boeing.

The proposed tariffs would cover not only aircraft but also wine, cheese, woolen suits and other signature European products.

President Trump touted the proposed tariffs on Twitter, arguing the European Union has "taken advantage of the U.S. on trade for many years."

The proposed levies represent the latest salvo in a long-running dispute between Airbus and its U.S. rival Boeing. According to the World Trade Organization, both companies have been the beneficiaries of unfair government subsidies.

The administration estimates that Airbus subsidies are costing U.S. companies $11 billion a year in lost market share. If the WTO approves that figure this summer, the administration will be ready to impose retaliatory tariffs immediately.

The move comes as Boeing is under pressure. Its best-selling jet, the 737 Max, has been grounded worldwide following two deadly crashes. As Aviation Week's Graham Warwick recalled, the 737 Max was hastily developed in response to a competing jet from Airbus.

Mulvaney promises that congress will never see Trump's tax returns.

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2019/0...ury-department

White House lawyers met with the Treasury Department before the House made a request for Trump's tax returns.

Under questioning by Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., at a House subcommittee hearing, Mnuchin said, "I want to be very clear and not misleading. I acknowledge that there were conversations. I am not briefed on the full extent of those conversations."

Quigley told Mnuchin "we would greatly appreciate it" if Treasury would report what White House officials had said.

The provision the House enacted actually gives Trump little leeway to deal with.

George Yin, a tax law professor at the University of Virginia, said past case law should give the administration no leeway.

"The provision does not give any basis for the Secretary of the Treasury to refuse the request," he said.

He said the provision now being invoked by Democrats appears to have been used in cases ranging from President Richard Nixon's tax returns in the 1970s to the alleged IRS targeting of conservative tax-exempt groups in the Obama administration. The evidence is circumstantial, according to Yin, since records and correspondence haven't leaked and are exempted from Freedom of Information Act requests.

The provision dates back to 1924, when Congress was investigating scandals from the administration of President Warren G. Harding, who had died the year before. Among the scandals: Millionaire banker and investor Andrew Mellon had held on to investments when he became Treasury secretary, and had allegedly used inside information to profit.
