President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Does the Army Corps of Engineers build the Wall or does it go to an individual private contractor? Or multiple contractors that buildings sections, like interstate highway construction ?

 

Katy Tur: never assaultet,though she covered hundreds of Trump rallies.

Photo journalist covering anti-Trump rally: has his cheekbone fractured for taking pictures.

 

Dumb, or lying? You decide.

My favorite part is Dave Weigel retweeting Yglesias' response.

 

The left is becoming the right, complete with violence. As soon as the left discovers they can have guns too we'll have the circle of life. If you can't beat them or join them, you can fight them ?

 

That's awful. Culprits should be found and punished. I would be perfectly Ok with Trump calling for everyone to calm the fuck down at least until he's actually in office.

In other news, Giuliani said on TV this morning that government ethics and conflict of interest rules and laws "do not apply to the President."

"When the President does it, that means it is not illegaL" -- Richard M. Nixon

 

It is not dumb to point out facts you don't like. It might be pointless, but it's not dumb.

 

It was the last throes of the old Democratic Party. They were trying to hang onto my dad's vote and Jennifer Aniston's simultaneously.

 

Why would he do that? He feeds off the chaos because it's Trumpian chaos, and that turns him on.

 

Yes. Thankfully the right preserved this for them:

 

Giuliani simply stated a fact.

Besides, will Trump suddenly forget what properties he owns if someone else is brought in to run his company under a "blind trust"?

This isn't a stock portfolio, which would change. He owns properties. His portfolio is unlikely to change much, regardless of who manages it, and any transactions would be public information.

 

Not a negative, but not everything in the Constitution should be considered unassailable, either.

 

Sure. Assail away.

But, what would we think of a pro-choice Dem, who was not in favor of a Constitutional right to an abortion?

We wouldn't really believe he/she was serious, right?

I'm not sure why it's a criticism of those who support(ed) a traditional definition of marriage that they sought constitutional protection for it.

Since when was being too supportive of an issue a reason for criticism?
