Trump is such a nice guy compared to one presidential candidate in Brazil: Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is like the second coming of Hitler, he's racist, homophobic, sexist, authoritarian, an elitist, a PIG in every sense of the word!
Because CNN won't issue a retraction on their fake News... Lanny Davis has backpedaled on two key claims about Cohen's knowledge Admitted he was source for bombshell CNN report about Trump Tower meeting 1. Now says he can't confirm Cohen saw Trump being advised ahead of meeting 2. Also backtracking on claim Cohen can confirm Trump knew of Russian hacking Lawyer's gaffes deal serious blow to liberal dreams of Cohen taking Trump down
DailyMail?? Faux News?? Davis isn't backtracking. He's just refrained from making definite statements about Cohen's knowledge of certain events because it may interfere with his plea deal. per the Washington Post, 8/26/18; Lanny Davis, a spokesman and attorney for Cohen, said in an interview this weekend that he is no longer certain about claims he made to reporters on background and on the record in recent weeks about what Cohen knows about Trump’s awareness of the Russian efforts. Davis did not rule out that his claims were correct but expressed regret that he did not explain that he could not independently corroborate them, saying that he now believes he “should have been more clear.” Lanny Davis has been in this game a long time and I think he got caught up the feeding frenzy of the Russia investigation. If Davis leaks too much about what Cohen knows, it could be impetus for Trump to end the Mueller investigation before the midterm elections.
Actually, there was report on MSNBC the Mueller team reached out to Davis and told him to STFU because he was leaking too much.

President Donald J. Trump Prioritizes Historically Black College and Universities EDUCATION Issued on: February 27, 2018 ALL NEWS Established by visionary leaders, America’s HBCUs have long played an integral role in our Nation’s history, providing Black Americans opportunities to learn and achieve their dreams. President Donald J. Trump PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP CONTINUES TO PRIORITIZE HBCUs: With the announcement today, President Donald J. Trump demonstrates his commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Today, President Trump announced Johnny Taylor, Jr., the former seven-year President of the Thurgood Marshall College fund, as the Chairman of the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. On February 28, 2017, the President signed an Executive Order announcing the President’s Board of Advisors on HBCUs. Chairman Taylor will work closely with Johnathan Holifield, who was appointed as executive director of the President’s White House Initiative on HBCUs last year. ADVANCING HCBUs: President Trump has prioritized HBCUs since the beginning of his Administration. President Trump’s February 28, 2017 Executive Order was the earliest any President had signed an Order on HBCUs. In addition to creating the White House Initiative on HBCUs and the President’s Board of Advisors on HBCUs, the Executive Order created an Interagency Working Group to advance and coordinate the work regarding HBCUs. The President ordered government agencies that regularly interact with HBCUs to develop annual plans to “strengthen the capacity” of those schools. There are 31 agencies that will submit such plans. The Order will help improve HBCUs’ participation in Federal programs and foster more and better opportunities in higher education. President Trump’s proposed budgets for 2018 and 2019 have maintained funding for HBCUs. The Department of Education worked with HBCUs to protect $80 million in Title III carryover funding. President Trump has called for an additional $20 million in funding for the Strengthening HBCUs program above the amount set in the recent budget deal. The President’s budget has called for an increase of $400 million for the TRIO program and an increase of $300 million for Federal Work Study.
Signed that EO last year and has either not allocated funds where promised or has had Ditzy DeVos slash the aforementioned programs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ograms-for-the-poor-slashed-in-trumps-budget/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...massive-cuts-to-college-student-aid-programs/ https://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pa...Slashes-Spending-on-Student-Aid-Research.aspx Just like the "criminal justice reform" that he keeps having "meetings" on, but refuses to endorse any of the proposed legislation that crosses his desk. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/23/trump-prison-reform-bill-justice-department-794871 He tabled the latest bill three weeks after the photo op with those black pastors. (Many of whom are actually on the GOP payroll.)
The best part of the article? This: But I already know his defenders are gonna trot out the FAKE NEWS!!! deflection so it's not like this will change their minds, anyway.
It says it right in your LINK...why. Because President Trump can't back any CJ Reform UNLESS Congress is behind him to see it through and the Senate has declared they're not endorsing anything until after the midterms. "..The bill drew backlash from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who called the proposal a “jailbreak” that would “let serious felons back on the streets.” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Thursday said that construcive conversations are currently being had with White House about the legislation, "but nothing is final yet." "With Republicans in the majority, any agreement must be endorsed by the President and include a commitment from Republican leaders to move it through Congress and get it to the President’s desk,” Durbin said. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said on Wednesday that the Senate wouldn’t take up any new package of prison and sentencing reforms before the midterms. Also, this praise from the DOJ appears to reference releasing drug traffickers, not users, not dealers. I certainly don't want actual traffickers out as part of the reform, do you?
