WTF is "Made in America Week"?

And what happens to American manufacturing for the other 51 weeks?

Maybe that means for this week only American flags will not be made in China? :hmm:

They must be oversampling Dems and/or undersampling Independents. It's too consistently wrong to be anything else.

Democrat-leaning voters aren't voting, and Republican-leaning voters are simply not telling pollsters the whole truth.  When the entire sample isn't cooperating, there's going to be failures.

Or consistent fraud.

... but that's probably tinfoil hat territory.

Voter fraud never happens.

Why can't you leave the Russia stuff alone already?

 :lol:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Spicer actually tried to sell that turd? The fact it was about dirt on Clinton was on the emails Jr. himself leaked FFS.  :lol:

So is Trumpcare dead or will they eventually find a compromise between the GOP moderates and conservatives?

Would be interesting if all of Trump's damage is to international relations, not domestic policy (and different from some predictions). If they can't pass this, they might be unable to pass tax reform or even a budget either.

Follow the money!

Read the whole article. Some really high level Russian mob bosses have lived in Trump Tower and he's had very close financial dealings with several of them.

Quote...Over the past three decades, at least 13 people with known or alleged links to Russian mobsters or oligarchs have owned, lived in, and even run criminal activities out of Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Many used his apartments and casinos to launder untold millions in dirty money. Some ran a worldwide high-stakes gambling ring out of Trump Tower—in a unit directly below one owned by Trump. Others provided Trump with lucrative branding deals that required no investment on his part. Taken together, the flow of money from Russia provided Trump with a crucial infusion of financing that helped rescue his empire from ruin, burnish his image, and launch his career in television and politics. "They saved his bacon," says Kenneth McCallion, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Reagan administration who investigated ties between organized crime and Trump's developments in the 1980s.

The only real Americans on the list: Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings.  Ordinary people with a travel agency, no one can figure how they got an invite.
