Well, if Gloria Allred has anything to do with it you know it's 100% legit....! Almost as good as having Al Sharpton as your pastor or advisor....! Or having Jesse Jackson coming to your house to meet with your family. How old is Gloria anyway....? She's kinda like Soros in my book, I keep waiting for them to "time out". Taking longer than some would hope for.....? Chris

Chris, I guess you heard Sharpton is also saying now that Trumpolini's presidency is illegitimate. I'll file that one under the blind squirrel theory. Gloria has got to be way up there now. She's got to win one sometime. Why not now.

Trails, I love squirrels, they are my favorite rodents. Please do not degrade them by mentioning Al Sharpton in close proximity to them. I have a lot of respect for squirrels and no respect for that pig of a man Sharpton. Oh, and I like pigs too so I apologize, to the pigs. Karma, please consider Al Sharpton for something really big, "Huge" actually, and soon maybe.....? Getting tired of waiting.... Chris

The Latest: Former CIA chief says Trump should 'be ashamed'
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times EST):
12:15 a.m.
Former CIA Director John Brennan says President Donald Trump "should be ashamed of himself" for his behavior at CIA headquarters.
That's according to a statement released by Brennan's former aide Nick Shapiro.
The statement says Brennan "is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump's despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA's Memorial Wall of Agency heroes. Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself."
Speaking to CIA officers Saturday while standing in front of the memorial for fallen CIA agents, Trump appeared more focused on settling scores with the media. He berated journalists over the coverage of his inauguration and wrongly claimed that the crowd was much bigger than the media reported.

The British Bookies have Trumpolini at Even Money to NOT finish one term. The British bookies rarely lose money. Can Impeachment be closer than we think? 
Lawsuit: Trump business ties violate Constitution
BERNARD CONDON and JULIE BYKOWICZ 47 minutes
NEW YORK (AP) — To fight what it called a "grave threat" to the country, a watchdog group on Monday filed a lawsuit alleging that President Donald Trump is violating the Constitution by allowing his business to accept payments from foreign governments.
The lawsuit claims that Trump is violating a clause in the Constitution that prohibits him from receiving money from diplomats for stays at his hotels or foreign governments for leases of office space in his buildings.
The language in the clause is disputed by legal experts, and some think the lawsuit will fail. But it signals the start of a legal assault on what Trump critics see as unprecedented conflicts between his business and the presidency.
Trump called the lawsuit "without merit, totally without merit" after he signed some of his first executive actions Monday in the Oval Office.
The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed the lawsuit in the Southern District of New York.
The group is being represented in part by two former White House chief ethics lawyers: Norman Eisen, who advised Barack Obama, and Richard Painter, who worked under George W. Bush. The two have expressed frustration that Trump has refused to take their recommendation and divest from his business, and feel they had no choice but to take legal action.
"As the Framers were aware, private financial interests can subtly sway even the most virtuous leaders," the lawsuit argues, "and entanglements between American officials and foreign powers could pose a creeping, insidious threat to the Republic."
White House Director of Strategic Communications Hope Hicks said that "the president has no conflicts," and referred to arguments made by Trump lawyer Sheri Dillon at the president's news conference earlier this month.
Dillon has said the framers did not intend for the so-called emoluments clause of the Constitution to ban fair-value exchanges, such as money for use of venue space or rooms at a hotel.
They didn't think "paying your hotel bill was an emolument," Dillon said at the Jan. 11 news conference.
Trump drew fresh legal attacks from critics almost from the moment he took the oath of office on Friday.
The American Civil Liberties Union tweeted within minutes that it had filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act asking that government agencies hand over memos, emails and other private communications with Trump's transition team on the conflicts issue. And a public petition was filed to the White House, the first one for the new administration, calling for Trump to immediately release his tax documents so the public would know if he was violating the emoluments clause.
The group behind Monday's lawsuit also filed a complaint Friday addressed to the General Services Administration, an agency that oversees the lease of the government-owned building that houses Trump's new Washington hotel. The complaint argued the agency must cancel the lease because it expressly forbids an elected official from benefiting from it.
GSA officials promised to weigh in on the issue after Trump took office, but have not responded to repeated requests for comment. Democrats in the House and Senate on Monday sent letters to Acting Administrator Timothy Horne seeking information about what the agency plans to do.
In the new lawsuit, the group faces several legal hurdles, including making the case that it even has standing to bring the suit.
"There are a lot of issues that have to be litigated for the first time," said Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility. He added, though, that "we have never had a president who has in a significant way accepted foreign payments."
Bookbinder said his group will argue it has standing because the president has forced his organization to divert all it is resources to this fight rather than other issues, and therefore is harming it.
That line drew criticism from some legal experts.
Its argument for standing "barely passes the laugh test," said Robert Kelner, chairman of the election and political law group of the firm Covington & Burling and an experienced Republican attorney. "The courts will toss this one out."
Edwin Williamson, a former State Department legal adviser, said that the group will struggle to prove its case. He said the emoluments clause does not apply the payment of a "market price" for a stay at a hotel.
"I don't expect it to succeed," Williamson, said, "and that doesn't even get to the standing issue."
In his news conference earlier this month, Trump said that he would not sell his ownership in his company, but would hand over control of his company to his two adult sons. He also pledged that his company would strike no more deals abroad and would donate any profits from foreign governments using his hotels to the U.S. Treasury.
Trump has repeatedly said that federal rules on conflicts do not apply to the president. His lawyer, Dillon, a partner a Morgan Lewis and Brockius, has called his moves to limit conflicts "extraordinary."
But the steps have been widely panned by government ethics lawyers as insufficient. They note that no modern president has taken office with as much wealth and as sprawling and opaque a business.
His company, the Trump Organization, has stakes in golf resorts, office buildings, residential towers and hotel licensing deals in about 20 countries. Those include ones with which the U.S. has sensitive relations, such as the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey.
With so many business ties, particularly abroad, government ethics experts worry U.S. interests could take a back seat to his personal financial concerns. And even if they don't, they argue, people will try to curry favor with the new president by buying apartments in his towers or memberships in his golf resorts, raising doubts — fair or not— that U.S. policy is for sale.
Eisen and Painter have urged Trump to sell his holdings and put the cash in a blind trust, following the example of recent presidents.
In refusing to release his tax returns, Trump is bucking another presidential tradition. He has said he would be happy to release them, but only after the completion of an Internal Revenue Service audit.
The public petition to the White House on Friday demanding he release them has gathered more than 250,000 signatures — well over the 100,000 needed to trigger an official response.
Senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said over the weekend it's not happening. "The White House response is that he's not going to release his tax returns," Conway said on ABC's This Week. "We litigated this all through the election. People didn't care."
Eisen and Painter are joined in the lawsuit by Constitutional law scholars Erwin Chemerinsky, Laurence H. Tribe, Zephyr Teachout, and Deepak Gupta of the law firm Gupta Wessler.

EU Referendum: How the bookies got it so wrong over Brexit
http://www.independe...t-a7100856.html
They made Remain the odds-on favourites for the EU Referendum. They claimed their odds were better indicators than polls that were veering all over the place. They were wrong – and now one bookmaker has explained why. When The Independent spoke to him earlier this week, Matthew Shaddick, head of political betting at Ladbrokes, had seemed the least confident of all the bookies. He said the betting markets were overconfident of Remain’s chances – although he still made Remain the odds-on favourite, as he had done since February when David Cameron announced the date of the referendum and the average of opinion polls suggested it was too close to call. Now, in a blog posted hours after the Brexit victory, Mr Shaddick has explained – as in fairness he had done earlier to The Independent – that bookies weren’t there to predict the outcome of an event...........
