    50 years ago, that would have been welcome news. Now, it just means we are contributing to Global Warming at an alarming rate.

    Trump donates $100G from his salary to alcoholism research

    By Madeline Fish | Fox News

    Trump compromises over shutdown but Democrats still refuse to negotiate on border wall

    President Trump has donated his 2018 third-quarter salary of $100,000 to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, The White House said late last week.

    In 2016, when he was still a candidate, Trump pledged not to accept the $400,000 annual presidential salary, saying he would donate it to various federal departments and agencies.

    Previously, Trump has given to the departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Transportation and Veterans Affairs, as well as others, The Associated Press reported.

    The president's older brother, Fred Jr., died in 1981 at age 43 after struggling with alcohol-related problems.

    Trump has said his brother’s alcoholism and death deterred the president from drinking or smoking.

    "I had a brother, Fred – great guy, best-looking guy, best personality, much better than mine,” Trump said in 2017 during a speech about the opioid epidemic. "But he had a problem, he had a problem with alcohol and he would tell me 'don't drink, don't drink.”

    Fox News’ Andrew O’Reilly and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Is that money he stole from his fake charity foundation that was for cancer kids? Or maybe it was the money he stole from those that paid to go to his fake university. Or could it be money he siphoned from his innauguration donations, but we know it is probably from Rusher

    This is a case where I really wish Trump supporters would just say what they really mean: Trump will rule for life because the neo-nazi/neo-confederate/nra types have the guns and the eagerness to kill. This gives them an advantage over the majority of Americans who actually have a conscience. Add in the "religious" types who worship Trump because they believe he will bring the end times, and it is going to turn ugly as hell.

    I honestly have no hope left.

    Im a NRA member and have been for many years and my motivation does not line up with what you are suggesting.
    Ive also attend church periodically and so do my kids and grandkids.
    So you are insinuating we don't have a conscience because what I mentioned above?
    wow....

    Dianne Feinstein scolds kids who pushed her to back Green New Deal: 'I know what I'm doing'

    By Elizabeth Zwirz | Fox News

    U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., arrives for a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, May 16, 2018. (Reuters)

    Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein pulled rank Friday when a group of kids tried to school her on climate change.

    After the group sought her support for the Green New Deal, the 85-year-old senior senator from California let them know she wasn't about to be bossed around by a bunch of youngsters.

    "You know what’s interesting about this group?," Feinstein said, in an interaction that was captured on video. "I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I know what I’m doing.

    “You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that,” Feinstein continued. “I’ve gotten elected, I just ran. I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people should listen a little bit.”

    “You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.”

    — U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., responding to a group of children

    Sunrise Movement, an organization that describes itself as wanting to “stop climate change,” shared a clip of the exchange on its Twitter page Friday.

    “This is how @SenFeinstein reacted to children asking her to support the #GreenNewDeal resolution -- with smugness + disrespect. This is a fight for our generation's survival. Her reaction is why young people desperately want new leadership in Congress,” the tweet with the video said.

    The video begins with the group explaining that they wanted to present a letter to Feinstein and ask her "to vote yes on the Green New Deal.” It then cuts to a shot of the group standing before the U.S. senator from California, expressing their request.

    In response to their request, Feinstein informs them that “We have our own Green New Deal.” And then came the point where Feinstein drew the line.

    The sides then devolve into a back-and-forth until someone reminds Feinstein that they are “the people who voted” for her and part of her job is to hear their concerns.

    “How old are you?” Feinstein asks.

    “I’m sixteen. I can’t vote,” the girl replies.

    “Well, you didn’t vote for me,” the lawmaker retorts.

    In another portion of the video, Feinstein is heard telling the kids that she’s “trying to do the best” that she can, “which was to write a responsible resolution.”

    “Any plan that doesn’t take bold, transformative action is not going to be what we need,” a female in the crowd says.

    Feinstein then replies: “Well, you know better than I do. So, I think one day you should run for the Senate. And then you can do it your way.”

    Feinstein later addressed the exchange in a news release, confirming that she met with a group of children, young adults and parents from the Sunrise Movement who sought her backing for the resolution.

    “Unfortunately, it was a brief meeting but I want the children to know they were heard loud and clear. I have been and remain committed to doing everything I can to enact real, meaningful climate change legislation,” she wrote.

    “We had a spirited discussion and I presented the group with my draft resolution that provides specific responses to the climate change crisis, which I plan to introduce soon,” she continued. “I always welcome the opportunity to hear from Californians who feel passionately about this issue and it remains a top priority of mine.”

    The Green New Deal is an economic stimulus concept that’s designed to tackle income inequality and climate change. The proposal calls for a job-guarantee program offering a “living wage job to every person who wants one,” a plan to aid workers affected by climate change, universal health care and basic income programs, among other items.

    I'm reading that this Feinstein video is a scam - heavily edited to make her look like she was shitting on the kids when in fact she was supportive.
    Here's the full video, in 6 parts. Note I haven't watched either the full version or the edited version.

    That was your intent or just not smart enough to come up with a decent answer?

    Omg.

    Jig is slang for game. Pun. Plan.

    The jig is up. The plan has been foiled.
    The cat is out of the bag.

    Please go advocate for cats now because they are insulted...
