Calling Mark Penn a "former Clinton adviser" is pretty misleading. The Clintons cut ties with him after 2008 and these days he kinda panders to Trump supporters more than anything else. I think articles like that one are clickbait nonsense tbh.
Who the Democratic nominee is probably won't have much impact on the re election odds for Trump. Presidential re elections are mostly about what people think of the current president and not so much about the challenger, unless they're super bad or get caught up in a crazy scandal or something. Right now Trump is an underdog vs. the field, especially considering that the odds of him not even running to the end aren't insignificant. Personally, I wouldn't ever support a Democrat in a presidential primary that didn't have either significant administrative experience or legislative accomplishments. Beto was a good senate candidate, but the list of Democrats more qualified than him to be president is pretty long. Any of them other than Hillary or Elizabeth Warren probably stand about the same chance of being elected, while being a more responsible choice. Btw, pretty sure that if Hillary did run that she would be a long shot to get through the primaries. She had enough problems winning primaries before losing in 2016...
Typical example of corporate greed. Going down with the ship and taking all the gold with me. Great example of why income inequality exists at the level it does now. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/22/her...creased-compared-to-yours-over-the-years.html
I wonder if politicians at the highest levels of government will stop doing moronic things with email in our lifetimes. I'm guessing no. One of the few things I can give Donald Trump credit for I guess.
First Twitter post that I've ever hearted. It would have been funny anyway, but it's 20x funnier here.
me: i should go to sleep also me: ok check twitter one more time. oh Parliament has used its legal powers to seize internal Facebook documents in an extraordinary attempt to hold the US social media giant to account after chief executive Mark Zuckerberg repeatedly refused to answer MPs’ questions. The cache of documents is alleged to contain significant revelations about Facebook decisions on data and privacy controls that led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. It is claimed they include confidential emails between senior executives, and correspondence with Zuckerberg. Damian Collins, the chair of the culture, media and sport select committee, invoked a rare parliamentary mechanism to compel the founder of a US software company, Six4Three, to hand over the documents during a business trip to London. In another exceptional move, parliament sent a serjeant at arms to his hotel with a final warning and a two-hour deadline to comply with its order. When the software firm founder failed to do so, it’s understood he was escorted to parliament. He was told he risked fines and even imprisonment if he didn’t hand over the documents. “We are in uncharted territory,” said Collins, who also chairs an inquiry into fake news. “This is an unprecedented move but it’s an unprecedented situation. We’ve failed to get answers from Facebookand we believe the documents contain information of very high public interest.”

The big picture: GM has been on Trump's mind since its decision to idle four plants in the U.S. and cut 15% of its salaried workforce. He tweeted Tuesday that he is looking at ending electric vehicle subsidies for the automaker. As Axios' Dan Primack notes, there are no GM-specific electric vehicle subsidies. Instead, there are industrywide federal tax credits of up to $7,500 on EVs purchased in the United States. Trump also could not end the credits without the help of Congress, which soon will have a Democrat-controlled House.
Cohen pleads guilty to lying to congress. Now it comes out that Trump was still working on Trump Tower Moscow deal well into 2016, and he's like "Heyyyyyy, I'm allowed to do business, amirite?"
