I’ve seen the theory that Polis is hoping Trump will unfreeze funds that Congress designated for Colorado. Of course Trump withholding the funds is illegal anyway.
Polis is term-limited from running for Governor again. But he surely didn’t help advance any federal-office ambitions he might have been cherishing.
He’s being quoted all over with remarks that make it look as though he’s saying Peters was jailed ‘for her beliefs.’ Of course she was actually convicted of committing a crime:
Heh. Pretty close. (Though since the newer one is in a Chinese paper, I’d be willing to believe the artist was NOT aware of the earlier drawing. The concept of Donald having a gigantic-yet-fragile ego isn’t new or unusual!)
I work for an American private company and we have rules like that for any overseas travel. You’re only allowed to bring a specially prepared cell phone and notebook computer with you. I think anything you work on has to be located in the cloud, though I’ve never had to use these processes.
I think the rules vary depending on the country, though. The rules might be stricter for travel to China than, say, Canada.
Of course she was punished for her beliefs. She believed she’d get away with it. And thanks to pressure from the felon at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she has.
The New York Times reports (gift link), “The Trump administration is considering the establishment of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate the president’s allies and others investigated by the Justice Department under President Joseph R. Biden Jr.”
Does that sound like something ripe for corruption to you? If so, you’re not the only one. The Times goes on to say, “The unusual plan, which Democrats and former government officials criticized as a vast political slush fund financed by taxpayers, is being fast-tracked, but has yet to be finalized or approved, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.”
This should be pretty interesting to watch. Donnie will be turning himself inside out during and after trying to figure out what to say… If he thinks these two like each other better than him—hoooboy! His head will explode fer shure.
China Will Host Putin, Days After Trump’s Visit
The Russian leader will go to Beijing on Tuesday for talks with President Xi Jinping. The Kremlin said he had watched President Trump’s visit closely.
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia will go to China next week for talks with its leader, Xi Jinping, just days after President Trump’s visit to Beijing, the Kremlin said on Saturday.
Mr. Putin watched Mr. Trump’s visit closely and is looking forward to discussing major issues with Mr. Xi during a two-day visit, which will begin on Tuesday, the Kremlin said. Russian officials had said for days that Mr. Putin would visit China, but the dates were not announced until Saturday. China confirmed that the trip would take place.
Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesman, told reporters on Friday that the trip would give Moscow “a good opportunity to share opinions on the contacts that the Chinese had with the Americans.”

Also most roses are heavily hybridized, and so seeds from them would be a pot luck that would likely look nothing like the original plants. If he wanted to get similar roses he would need to get grafted cuttings.
