Holy crap, does every member of the Trump administration have to be surrounded in this Russian connection?

Trump doesn't want Sessions to recuse himself from the Russian investigation...the investigation is into communication from YOUR campaign...how the hell do you get to decide who conducts it?!

So Government/Pentagon officials announce they are going after 100s of people associated with Al Queda based on information they found in the Yemen raid..I thought Trump said he wouldn't announce to the enemy when he was coming??..

In less terrifying news (or more, who knows), Sean Spicer used to be the White House Easter Bunny.

These are politicians we are talking about, they are guilty unless proven innocent. Sometimes they are guilty even after being proven innocent.

Warren Buffett’s hero says Trump’s growth target would be impossible to achieve..

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/03/warren-buffett-hero--trump-growth-target-impossible-to-achieve.html



Jack Bogle, a hero of Warren Buffett and a lifetime Republican, has told the BBC that President Donald Trump's plan to grow the U.S. economy by 4 percent a year is probably "not even possible for anybody."

The founder and retired CEO of The Vanguard Group critiqued several strands of Trump's policy mix during a wide-ranging BBC interview this week. Most notably, he said the president's campaign promise for the American economy seemed fanciful.

"Anybody that wants to make the U.S. economy grow at 4 percent a year in real terms has a big job to do. I don't think it's even possible for anybody," Bogle said.

He also said administration rhetoric over regulation was a concern.

"I think reducing regulations is a reasonable thing to do if you do it the right way, but eliminating regulations is some sort of madness."

And highlighting that he himself is the child of an immigrant, Bogle questioned the trade and border policies emanating from the White House.

"I think increasing trade barriers is the wrong way to go for business," he said.

"And I'm not making a political statement here, the economics of cutting back on immigration is extremely harmful in the long run for our economy."

Bogle was born in 1929, the same year as the Wall Street crash, and continues to invest after 65 years in the business.

He is famous for introducing low-cost passive funds and was described by Warren Buffett in a recent letter to shareholders as a hero.

In the BBC interview, Bogle said Buffett was merely recognizing his assertion that Wall Street needed to be fairer to investors.

"Over an investment lifetime, a dollar invested compounded 7 percent over 50 years grows to $30 in the stock market, and it grows to $10 in a mutual fund," he said.

"So it means that an investor who put up 100 percent of the capital, puts up 100 percent of the risk but got 30 percent of the return."

"Wall Street put up none of the capital, none of the risk and got 70 percent of the return," he added.

Bogle said that unfairness was presently being addressed through the growth of index funds.

Meanwhile, Trump was not the only boss in the firing line of the legendary investor. Bogle said remuneration for CEO's stock options could be too generous and it was time to change the measurement of success.

"I think remuneration ought to be not on the price of the stock but on the return on the investment made by the corporation," he concluded.

Where was the outrage from the Dems when Loretta Lynch blatantly lied?

This **** just doesn't end. It's hilarious to watch as the unelected grasp at straws since all they can do is obstruct and drag their feet. They are desperate and powerless. Again, doing more damage to how they are perceived by the American public. They just don't get. They can kiss 2020 goodbye
