Mr. Ivanka Is Going To Be Questioned By The Senate Intelligence Committee

Kushner's meetings included one with Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak at Trump Tower. That meeting drew scrutiny after former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was dismissed from his White House post for misleading high-level administration officials about the nature of his calls with Kislyak.

Kushner did not personally attend a second December meeting requested by Kislyak, according to The New York Times, which first reported Kushner's appearance before the Senate committee, but he did meet with Sergey N. Gorkov at Kisylayk's request. Gorkov heads Vnesheconombank, a state-owned bank that was placed on a U.S. sanctions list after the annexation of Crimea by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

News of the Senate questioning comes as Kushner is taking on a new high-profile role in the White House.

Chicano is word Mexicans and hyphenated-Mexicans are can use with each other but which is weird and awkward if the blue-eyed devil uses it. It's not a slur, like the n word, -- it's more like black people calling one another "my brother." If you do that, it's not an insult but it is this.

Anyway, that is how my Puerto Rican classmates in HS talked about it, with the caveat that Puerto Ricans and Mexican kids in my high school hated each other.

The word you're not supposed to use anymore is "Hispanic" which is regarded as a stupid made-up whitey term to signal about race by substituting language. So, for instance, a brown skinned German-speaking Brazilian-American is "Hispanic" while a pure ivory-skinned Castilian Spaniard is not. Obvious dog whistle is obvious. Worse, the government used to use it even though nobody inside the group accepted it, so it's also considered patronizing and colonialist.

I think it has been deprecated in favor of the more inclusive term "Latino."

But these words are like music -- we're all too old, too white, and too out of it to ever know what's really happening. :)

"Bring out yer dead."

Boris Epshteyn, special assistant to President Donald Trump and assistant communications director for surrogate operations, is expected to leave his job in the White House, according to several reports.

...

Politico reported earlier in March that Epshteyn had a contentious exchange with a booker for Fox News, a network typically sympathetic to Trump and his administration.

Epshteyn was also reportedly responsible for writing the White House's statement commemorating International Holocaust Memorial Day that omitted any mention of the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis, which white nationalist Richard Spencer praised for its "de-Judification" of the subject.

Going for the One.

Trump’s Gallup approval is now lower than former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton's approval numbers were at any point in their presidencies, according to an analysis by Gallup's editor-in-chief. Obama reached a low of 38 percent in 2011 and 2014. Former President Bill Clinton reached a low of 37 percent in 1993.

Former President George W. Bush reached his low, 25 percent, in October 2008.

I saw an opportunity and created a handy app for this. It contains all the words and phrases that are now barred from use.

Turns out I can't let anyone use it. :(

No, I suspect that the consequences were totally known. It's not as if these bozos hide anything.

Besides, States rights, localities rights- it's not their job to enforce these federal laws. They are just exercising what don want them to exercise.

The rhetoric surrounding what's effectively shutting down the EPA is to change their focus to "jobs". Isn't that what the Dept of Labor is for?

Nunes cancelled the rest of the week's hearings for the HIC investigation into Russia/Trump just as Sally Yates was about to testify.
