apnews.com/133271c91ef746bc83a43ba8e31aad1dThe UN is now smacking the US about separating children from their families at the US border. “The use of immigration detention and family separation as a deterrent runs counter to human rights standards and principles,” Shamdasani said during a briefing in Geneva. “The child’s best interest should always come first.”

Today is the 50 year anniversary of Bobby Kennedys assassination. I have been watching the Netflix special, Bobby Kennedy for President. I love him.

Excuse me while I vomit.

Pruitt used EPA aide(s) to help arrange a meeting with Chickfila for his wife to discuss a franchise opportunity. Is this real life? and yet its the democrats being obstructive to appointments that is the problem. I WONDER WHY

oh take a flying leap, Sarah. You show up 23 minutes late and bring in an economic adviser to talk "and then I'll take your questions," except that the Supreme Leader Festive Gathering for White People who Love the Flag starts at 3 so you're not going to take any bloody questions, are you SARAH

GDP growth is a great way to tell how good we're doing. We couldnt get 3% during the Obama years We're almost there we should be at 3.1 or 3.2% which he is stating is normal.

"small businesses are historically optimistic." Ok? Good for them? I'm so glad the people who are getting enormous tax cuts and aren't held to any of the federal requirements of bigger businesses are feeling optimistic! I would be too, if I were getting huge tax breaks with no requirement that I even pay my employees a living wage, much less provide them with usable health care. GFDI.

Everyone laughed in Trump's face during the campaign when he said he could hit 3.1% GDP. And he's done it. It's all going to come crashing down, and then I'm sure it will somehow be Hillary Clinton's fault. But they aren't wrong, and he did fulfill a promise there. He just did it in what I consider a crappy way.

Unemployment's down but the labor participation rate sucks. How are you going to fix it?
Well Obama made people feel hopeless.

haha April. "You can't compare apples and oranges--Obama was pulling us out of an historic recession!" "Since you love to tout [the black unemployment rate] are you actually going to do anything about the disparity?"
He's saying that capital spending didn't return to pre-recession levels at the end of the Obama administration. Um, people were probably paying off debt from getting foreclosed on and being unemployed?

Q: You guys are pretty tariff happy. Have you thought this through, like, at all?
A: we have a very open market but other countries are super mean to us. If we become big bad bullies, it's great for the global economy and I dont' want to talk about this anymore so I'm going to take a different question.

Jon Karl: Is POTUS aware that there was no kneeling by the Eagles?
Sarah: "Let's not forget there were 80 members of the Eagles organization who RSVP'ed and committed to attend this event...the Eagles are the ones who tried to change their commitment at the 11th hour and the president thinks that their fans deserve better than that."
JK: Then why bring the national anthem into this?
SHS: This is a political stunt by the Eagles franchise. They tried to reschedule the event for a time when the president would be overseas (LOL I did not know that)

Question: So we talked to outside counsel like you told us to. You lied to us in August. Would you like to correct the record?
SHS: "I'm not going to go into a back and forth. I know that you guys would love to engage on matters of conversations between the Special Counsel and outside counsel."
Q: But you talked about it in August and didn't refer to outside counsel then so why won't you answer us now?
SHS: STOP IT

Josh Dawsey: What's up with Pruitt and Chickfila?
SHS: I haven't spoken to POTUS about that.
JD: Do YOU think YOUR statement in August was accurate?
SHS: "I know your goal is to engage me in a conversation about matters involving the outside counsel--"
JD: "No, it's not about outside counsel. It's about what YOU said from YOUR podium."
SHS: Gawd you guys, you work with me every day, you know me, you know I'm not a lying liar who lies. You're being real mean!

John Roberts: "The president again took a stick to his favorite pinata, Jeff Sessions, today. Is his goal simply to remind the AG that he's really P.O.'ed at him?"
SHS: The president has been clear!
and yes that is a direct quote from john.
