    Potential Smoking Gun says James Rosen

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/23/potential-smoking-gun-showing-obama-administration-spied-on-trump-team-source-says.html

    Rosen has first hand experience with the abuses of the Obama administration. We'll see if this is something or the equivalent of last night's CNN story on russia.

    It's a reach. My understanding is that if intelligence reveals someone's name, that means they're suspect of something. Maybe I'm wrong. Righties trying to claim Obama did anything illegal seems to be backfiring.

    This couldn't possibly be a distraction from the failed healthcare repeal/replace non-vote, could it? Or a deflection?

    Listen to the audio from the latest tweet. Nothing wrong with this in fact it is very Presidential.

    I saw it live. It was fine. It was "very presidential" in that he didn't make boom boom on the conference table. Low bar, I guess.

    The pictures of him farting around in the big rig while his health care bill went up in flames reminded me of dorky Dukakis in the tank, though.

    Top White House officials descended on Capitol Hill Thursday night to personally deliver President Donald Trump's ultimatum to House Republicans: Negotiations on their health care bill are over, and the House will vote Friday.

    Then, there was this: If the bill doesn't pass Friday, Trump is ready to move on and Republicans will be "stuck with Obamacare."

    what a dealmaker...

    It doesn't matter if it's progress or not, it's happening. This is why all the talk of bringing manufacturing back is stupid. It ain't happening. It's only going to get worse. Either we adapt or we fall behind. We need to educate our people for new skills in a changing technological world, not bitch about the good ole' days.

    Depends on how you define it I suppose. It is certainly efficiency and increased productivity. But these same arguments were made when the cotton gin was created, the assembly line, cranes invented, etc. Nothing we see is unique. Every time there is a dramatic change in technology, people are left behind. And there's always a demagogue that says he is going to stop it....and doesn't.

    No one talks about that today President Trump was meeting with Truckers and hearing their voice, why not?
    Listen to the audio from the latest tweet. Nothing wrong with this in fact it is very Presidential.

    Great. Another step backwards.

    Truckers are shitting themselves right now. The technology is dogfart away from replacing an entire industry there. No doubt they'll get all sorts of job protections out of this meeting.

    ...the free market, small government party at work...
    Similar to the burger flipping/kiosk machines being incorporated into fast food chains due the rising costs of hiring more workers? Progress?
    It doesn't matter if it's progress or not, it's happening. This is why all the talk of bringing manufacturing back is stupid. It ain't happening. It's only going to get worse. Either we adapt or we fall behind. We need to educate our people for new skills in a changing technological world, not bitch about the good ole' days.
    The good ole days will be when we dont have to use humans on manufacturing lines... Just needs to be embraced instead of feared.
    Yep...change is hard, but change is happening fast.

    If the wealthcare bill passes today Trump will look like the strong man deal maker he and his rubes claim.
    I really hope that doesn't happen, because if he forces a vote and it fails he looks like the spoiled brat that he is.

    The path to actually become a law is a lot different and difficult. The sad thing is I don't think Trump gives a damn what's in the bill, it's just about the optics. Such is the mindset of a two bit salesman.
