PalmerReport
Today a major new bombshell arrived in an existing Trump-Russia storyline, and it’s placed one long-curious aspect of the story in suspicious new context. Months ago it was revealed that the Donald Trump campaign met with Russian government representatives at Trump Tower during the election to try to influence the outcome of the election. It was also documented that RNC Chair Reince Priebus was at Trump Tower at the time. Now it turns out the meeting involved at least the discussion of illegal Russian donations to the RNC.
This latest revelation comes from notes that Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort took on his phone during the Russia meeting. Those notes are now evidence, and they reveal that Manafort wrote “RNC” and “donations” next to each other, according to NBC News (link). This circles back to the question of what the hell Reince Priebus was doing in the building while this meeting was going on.
Reince Priebus is best known as Donald Trump’s embattled and ultimately displaced White House Chief of Staff. But during the course of the election he was the chairman of the Republican National Committee. As Palmer Report reported weeks ago (link), Priebus was spotted entering Trump Tower just before the Russia meeting took place. It’s still not confirmed whether or not Priebus was in the meeting. But now that we know the subject matter of the meeting included illegal Russian donations to the RNC, it casts Priebus’ presence in a whole new light.
Was Priebus actually in the meeting between the Trump team and the Russian government representatives? Did he arrive at the building to discuss the “RNC donations” proposal that the Kremlin apparently pitched to the Donald Trump campaign during that meeting? One way or the other, Reince Priebus is now front and center in the Trump-Russia scandal. And because he was the head of the Republican Party at the time, the entire party is suspect.

WH budget director boasts of tricking Trump into slashing disability benefits by calling it ‘welfare’
Brad Reed
01 Sep 2017 at 08:44 ET
President Donald Trump vowed throughout the 2016 presidential campaign that he would not cut Social Security or Medicare.
Despite this, however, the president’s proposed budget
featured a massive $70 billion cut in Social Security disability
benefits over the span of a decade.
A Politico profile
of White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney reveals exactly how this happened — essentially, Mulvaney tricked Trump into agreeing to disabilities benefits cuts by calling it a “welfare” program.
Earlier this year, Mulvaney tried to get Trump to agree to
cuts in Social Security and Medicare, but the president wouldn’t budge. Then he brought up disabilities benefits, which piqued Trump’s interest.
“Tell me about that,” Trump said.
“It’s welfare,” Mulvaney said.
“OK, we can fix welfare,” Trump declared.
Politico notes that Mulvaney is proudly telling
this story about how he manipulated Trump into cutting benefits for 11 million disabled Americans on the record — and it’s an indication of the clout he has that he doesn’t fear telling anecdotes that show his boss to be woefully misinformed.
Uh huh

Ryan Asks Trump to Hold Off on Scrapping DACA
September 1, 2017 at 12:56 pm EDT
Speaker Paul Ryan “gave a major boost to legislative efforts to preserve protections for young undocumented immigrants — and urged President Trump to not tear up the program,” CNN reports.
“The popular Obama administration program — which gives protections from deportation to undocumented immigrants that were brought to the US as children to work or study — has long been targeted by Republicans as an overreach of executive authority. Nevertheless, a number of moderate Republicans alongside Democrats support the program and have offered legislation that would make the protections permanent.”
Trump sets pay rate for federal workers
08/31/17 06:31 PM EDT
President Trump sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday announcing 2018 pay rates for civilian government workers.
In the letter, Trump cited his authority in times of “national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare” to make adjustments to the 2018 pay schedule for federal employees.
If Trump had not acted, workers were scheduled for an across-the-board pay raise of 1.9 percent while those in expensive urban areas stood to get as high as a 26 percent raise, based on an old formula that presidents have routinely circumvented.
Trump will use his authority to lower across-the-board pay raises to 1.4 percent, with an average additional raise of 0.5 percent, depending on what city the worker lives in.
“We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a sustainable fiscal course,” Trump wrote.

I have been telling folks..
The MSM and a lot of Dems don’t understand..
IT’S A NEW DAY
This isn’t 2000.
This isn’t even 2004, after Shrub lied us into TWO WARS.
It’s a whole other day, and those of us on this side are thinking entire differently.
We have no phucks to give. And, we aren’t interesting in finding any.
We aren’t just against Dolt45 because he’s GOP.
We find him disgusting AS A HUMAN BEING..
And, he offends our very senses.
AND.we have the 8 years of receipts from the GOP obstruction of 44, and don’t want to hear ANYTHING about ‘finding common ground’.
THERE.IS.NO.COMMON.GROUND.
So, go ahead, California. Light.her.azz.up!!

Good Morning, Everyone.
Researcher of African American inventors, Henry E. Baker, was born this day, September 1, in 1857.
http://pragmaticobotsunite.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/henry-baker.jpg
Graduating top of his class at Howard University, Baker became the third African American to attend the U.S. Naval Academy.
In 1877 he became a copyist at the U.S. Patent Office and in 1902 was promoted to Second Assistant Examiner there. While working at the Patent Office he encountered African American inventors and determined to uncover past and present records of all inventions by Black Americans. So much African American patent history might have been lost were it not for Henry E. Baker.
The story of his research and later publication is fascinating. You can read about it here:
