Daily Beast reporting that WH was accusing Lewandowki of pushing the bad Porter story. Could this all have come out due to jealousy over Hope Hicks’ New squeeze? Wasn’t Corey also accused of assauting a reporter during the campaign That's the one!

Pence playing dumb can only go so far to save any face. Holy awkward. His answer was like “I’m very honored that the big man lets me out to go to the olympics all by myself. Gee golly” He is a joke.

crunch I think this quote fromThe article says a lot about how Kelly probably treated issues of sexual assault/DV under his watch as a marine: "Mr. Kelly has previously played down accusations against someone he believed served a greater goal. He appeared as a character witness in a 2016 court-martial of a Marine colonel accused of sexually harassing two female subordinates. Mr. Kelly praised the colonel as a “superb Marine officer.”

For my H, his hiring was contingent on being granted a security clearance. He was offered the job and hired in late 2014. His clearance was granted late 2015, and he started spring 2016. He wasn’t allowed to start working until he got it. On the other side of things, I have friend who started the clearance process last month and is starting his job next month without it being granted. When I was getting my clearance, I had to be working at the company in order to get the clearance. I was stuck reading manuals for weeks before I got my interim clearance. Once I got that, I had a lot more freedom to work. There was a specific level I was allowed access to until I got my full clearance. He was a bit of a special case because he was still getting his PhD at the time. They don’t let anyone, outside of government officials, on site without a clearance without it being an act of god, so they hire and then leave you in limbo for years. DH just had workmates start recently that were hired two years ago. I have a friend in DC area who’s H is struggling to get work because he doesn’t have a clearance. $12k is a lot to fork up to get one on your own (that’s DH’s job pays for each one, so I’m guessing that’s what civilians will pay, too)

Has anyone, other than Trump, come out in support of the military parade? Mattis kind of shrugged about it and that's the most positive reaction I've seen from anyone And I read that behind closed doors hes like AYFKM

I mean this is sort of a pattern starting with potus, no? It’s not like it’s a huge secret they are pretty misogynistic
Also they aren’t a proactive team. It’s very reactive. What you have s felony. No problem you can hang here until Wapo gets the story then we’re gonna deny deny then we’re gonna say well maybe we knew but he’s a good guy and it’s obviously a setup. FAKE NEWS

You want him to skip Fox and Friends to reopen the government? Sheesh.

Maybe my husband should remember next time his cell rings at 1am and they need him on the boat that if it’s okay for the commander in chief to sleep, it’s okay for everyone to sleep.

Not sure if you say any of the reports about Professor Thornhill's class on "White Racism" but it is becoming bigger news. I saw it many month ago. This is what happens when a class called ‘White Racism’ comes to campusThe tone of the article isn't great but it is showing how its breaking the campus out of its comfort zone and arguments students are bringing to the table. Most of them are terrible privileged.

I did just get a call from my manager stating the govt is back open and I have until 1:03 to report. (They give you 4 hours to report after the govt is reopened).
