"Mueller: Paul Manafort has been trying to “violate a court order” while under house arrest"
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s disgraced former campaign chair, was drafting an English-language op-ed on Ukraine with a Russian who has ties to the Kremlin’s intelligence service as late as last Thursday, more than four weeks after he was indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller on money laundering and other charges.

TRUMP WHITE HOUSE WEIGHING PLANS FOR PRIVATE SPIES TO COUNTER “DEEP STATE” ENEMIES
So...Trump is arming a secret police force to monitor and infiltrate the government...which Trump's party already controls...
Or, more likely, having this force in place will help him maintain control of the government after they try to remove him.
I've thought this for a long time now, that Trump and the rest will be indicted or whatever, and they'll just refuse to go. What then?

One of the very few mornings in the last year trump has not tweeted. Can probably count all of them on 1 hand.
And I think we all know why. They are finally targeting the source of the trump crime families dirty financials, that german bank that the dems have been screaming about for a year.
Trump probably threw up on his phone and broke it when he saw Mueller was digging into this place now.

Millennials' Political Views Don't Make Any Sense
Millennial politics is simple, really. Young people support big government, unless it costs any more money. They're for smaller government, unless budget cuts scratch a program they've heard of. They'd like Washington to fix everything, just so long as it doesn't run anything.
42% of Millennials think socialism is preferable to capitalism, but only 16% of Millennials could accurately define socialism in the survey.
- and i'd say 90% re-post memes and regurgitate corporate media topics without any critical understanding of the underlying world which they live inbliznutty
- I think they are unfairly picking on millennials here... I've seen polls that show the exact same thing among voters in general. i.e. people like the idea ofyuekit
- government help but also want the most efficient government possible. Not really that much of a contradiction if you think about it. It's like saying I want theyuekit
- most value for my money, same as with any service.yuekit
- Also they get more economically conservative as they make more money? I would be amazed if this isn't true of every generation and demographic group.yuekit
- 23 percent of Americans between ages 21 and 29 believe that Stalin was a “hero.”Gnash
- http://humanprogress…Gnash
- I think many see a broken system that favours the rich and believe that socialism could fix it. I don't think they're naive enough to think it will.monoboy
- But millennial capitalists that think they're the answer are also wrong... https://pbs.twimg.co…monoboy
- What we really need is a form socially democratic capitalism, whereby inclusive growth doesn't leave those that can't contribute behind.monoboy
- Scandinavian countries (yes they have problems), are a prime example of how this can work and benefit all. High wage, high tax, high growth, people development.monoboy
- And it all starts with putting children and education first.monoboy
- https://i.pinimg.com…monoboy
- ^ I think when millennials say socialism that's exactly what they are referring to... European style system which exists alongside free market.yuekit
- @yuekit, don't be so sure about that. The US has a notoriously B/W view of things, and their media are more than happy to propegate this.Continuity
- I think so too.monoboy
- They can't make the distinction between communism, socialism, and Scandi-style democratic socialism. It's all the same thing to them.Continuity
- So if the concepts aren't properly explained, it's hardly surprising that US millennials (or, indeed, people in the US in general) have no clue what's what.Continuity
- A lot of people incorrectly assume that all socialist government = Venezuela. When in fact social democracy = Germany, Norway, Sweden etc.monoboy
- Yep - it's working just fine for Germany.fadein11
- Totally agree monoboy. The "but Venezuela" comeback is up there with "but emails"fadein11
- @continuity - unfortunately that's what happens when generations have been told that anything red is a threat and must be destroyed.fadein11
- I think the millennial conception of "socialism" is heavily influenced by Bernie Sanders campaign where he basically just pitched the European system for U.S.yuekit
- And let's face it, socialism is a pretty vague term to begin with. It can conceivably refer to anything from North Korea to a hippy commune :)yuekit

so, Kushner failed to declare an interest in a foundation that funded illegal israeli settlements and now trump is claiming jerusalem as the capital of israel a few days after his muslim ban.
this is going to be fine.
- diversion more and more diversion.sted
- excuse my ignorance but why is the world allowing an American buffoon to make the call on the Jewish capital?monospaced
- I think Israel need international support to do so, Trump just gave it to them. Not sure about legality but US can use influence and $ to fuck over anyone.monoboy
- The rest of the world just said fuck no, so I think either the UN/NATO need to say so or a conflict is needed to settle it.monoboy
- It's either the dumbest of moves or a plan to incite violence and destabilise the entire region for political reasons.monoboy
- Or both.monoboy
- I suspect some in the GOP want a Holy War of their own. Although, the US will end up fighting on several fronts with an ego maniac at the helm. History tells..monoboy
- but is there, realistically, any position he could have taken that would result in peace? yeah ... didn't think somonospaced
- if he had sided with palestinians, there would have been an uproar also, plus violence ... it's their choice to fight over it, blaming the US is idioticmonospaced
- Disagree. The US funds Israel's army which has Palestinians in the region under what is essentially apartheid. Recognise it as a state, might see progress.monoboy
- This move by Trump has simply proved what many Palestinians believe to be true. Sadly.monoboy

This tax reform feels like the beginning of the end for America.
How are we going to pass an infrastructure bill, when just the $13.6 billion CHIP program can't even get passed? Orin Hatch (the program's creator) himself said "there's no more money!" while out the other side of his mouth assuring that it will pass.
Insurance premiums will be expected to go up an additional 10% per year (avg. 22-24% nationally) without the Individual Mandate, and an additional 13 million Americans will lose (or give up) health coverage.
Meanwhile we passed the biggest defense spending budget ever, prison population is through the roof, schools and infrastructure are falling apart, our standing in foreign relations is in free-fall, and our own domestic agencies are hamstrung because there are no competent leaders appointed to lead them.
Some people say that the tax reform bill was the dying gasp of the Republican party. "Grab everything while you still can!" kind of policy. Others are saying it no longer matters what the GOP does or says, that tribalism wins out over fiscal prudence, common sense, or any ideology.
Either the pendulum is going to swing hard to the left, and the GOP will be dissolved, or America is royally boned.
- Both. Although the "swing hard to the left" isn't going to be easy with 43% of the country utterly misinformed.allthethings
- Seems like America is in for a rough future. Not because of this bill, but because of the far right, white nationalist movement that Trump has normalized.yuekit
- Trump will be gone in three, maybe seven years. Probably dead in ten. But his idiot followers will still be around.yuekit

Trump Recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital
"C'mon, Israelis, Palestinians, what do you have to lose?"
- “I’ve judged this course of action to be in the best interests of the United States of America and the pursuit of peace between Israel and the Palestinians.”face_melter
- He's judged absolutely fuck all and i'm guessing would be hard pressed to actually locate Israel and Palestine on a map.face_melter
- Or have any idea about the politics of the area in the past 70 years. The fucking stupid cunt.face_melter
- this is a colossal mistake.Gnash
- how can he unilaterally decide this -- not sure how it works down there but doesn't this have to go through congress or something?Gnash
- he isn't deciding FOR them, but as President he certainly calls the shots on the US's stance on the matter, which is all this ismonospaced
- Congress overwhelming passed a law in 1995 agreeing to this, previous Presidents delayed enforcementrobotron3k
- gee I wonder why robo. Perhaps it's because the previous presidents weren't stupid enough as it would damage peace processes. #DOTARDkona
- to even think Trump made this decision on his own, or even knows enough to say anything intelligent on the matter, is deluding yourselfmonospaced
- I promise this will prove true in the coming days, as he is questioned about it. There is no position he could take that would be peaceful, anyway ... catch-22monospaced
- the idea that anyone could blame trump for anything that happens in Jerusalem, which has warred over this for centuries, is naivemonospaced
