President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Meanwhile, back to our favorite movie critic (and cheating golfer) ...

 

This is great.

Show us the picture, poin. Counting on you.

 

Student art work on display at the U.S. Capitol depicts cops as animals

U.S. Capitol Police don't seem very concerned that it was removed.

 

They got the guns. What are you gonna do?

 

The federal week in review:

1. Trump fires all Ambassadors and Special Envoys, ordering them out by inauguration day.

2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce an individual civil service, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State.

3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with Trump's first press conference in months and an ACA budget vote, effectively preventing any concentrated coverage or protest.

4. House GOP expressly forbids the Congressional Budget Office from reporting or tracking ANY costs related to the repeal of the ACA.

5. Trump continues to throw the intelligence community under the bus to protect Putin, despite the growing mountain of evidence that the Russians deliberately interfered in our election.

6. Trump breaks a central campaign promise to make Mexico pay for the wall by asking Congress (in other words, us, the taxpayers) to pay for it.

7. Trump threatens Toyota over a new plant that was never coming to the US nor will take jobs out of the US.

8. House passes the REINS act, giving them veto power over any rules enacted by any federal agency or department--for example, FDA or EPA bans a drug or pesticide, Congress can overrule based on lobbyists not science. Don't like that endangered species designation? Congress kills it.

 

Trump, Trapped in His Lies, Keeps Lying. Sad!

He hasn’t taken office yet, but Donald Trump is lost, wandering in a labyrinth of lies and trying to drag the country in with him. ...

The truth is getting harder to see in the flickering gaslight of Mr. Trump’s America, but it’s there. Not “in his heart,” or out of his mouth, no matter how much this man and his minions say otherwise.

Nice copy and paste, plagiarist. Do you think you're the only poster with Facebook?

 

Facebook had it first!

 

He might be able to work as the senior Director of Strategic communications for the NSC.

 

Dunno why you're pissed off at Mrs. Whitman again tonight, but I just reposted something that invited me to repost it.

Bangin' little bod, though.


Also, fuck off.

 

There's a point by point rebuttal floating around FB as well.
