President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I wonder if his lawyers look like his son

 

Students for Justice in Palestine. Sounds like a nice moderate group:

Nancy Salem, who was fired from The Children's Courtyard, also retweeted: “How many Jews died in the Holocaust? Not enough!”

Tweets by Salem and other University of Texas at Arlington students were made public after watchdog group Canary Mission reported that 24 current and former students had made anti-Semitic comments online.

Salem, along with 18 other students in the report, belonged to the UTA chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which Canary Mission said was a “focal point for campus anti-Semitism.”

 

Download podcasts. There a lot of really good ones out there. I have given up on sports radio.

 

Collins: I Will Ask That Flynn Testify Before Senate Intel Committee

 

She made the mistake of not calling them International Bankers.

 

The folks who were disappointed by how the Bundy situation was handled will be glad to see how this is being handled, now that we have a law and order president in office.

 

Interesting article on our invisible Department of State. I had not heard that Tillerson had put Elliot Abrams up for Asst. SecState and that he had been turned down as "insufficiently loyal to Trump".

In first month of Trump presidency, State Department has been sidelined

 

Is that odd to you?

 

Let's wait and see how our "Law and Order President" reacts to a right-wing loon militia, instead of comparing apples to belt sanders. Of course he's going to shit on the pipeline demonstrators, that's not Law and Order, that's taking a poke at political enemies and pleasing your friends.

 

Yes. Peacefully protesting is now illegal.

 

More like disappointing. When he hires an actual adult with relevant experience in the area he is hired for, I'm pleased, even if their politics differ from mine. Abrams is an old school Republican diplomat. He knows the game and the players. He won't fuck up out of ignorance of, say, the One China policy. He would have been a smart hire to advise Tillerson, who is an experienced negotiator but is moving into an entirely different milieu than he is accustomed to.

Trump prefers to hire people who will toady to him, not the best person he can find.

 

Yes. You'd think a great leader could handle some people working for him who aren't lap dogs and ass kissers.
