President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

A Trump complaining about hatred and a lack of morals is so fucking laughable. That's the Trump family business. Along with not paying bills.

And complaining about obstruction tactics by the democrats? JFC.

 

Republican logic: Corporations are people, but Democrats are not.

 

Something to keep in mind if Trump ever sends his budget to Congress. Kansas legislators override governor's veto of drastic tax cuts some saw as a model in the post-swamp era.

Lawmakers override Brownback veto of tax increases, rolling back 2012 cuts

 

It was a hell of an experiment though!

 

On the eve of Comey's testimony:

 

Read his bio. In Bush administration was head of DOJ white collar crime division. Was also Chris Christie's attorney in Bridgegate, which does not disqualify him in any way. From the bio, sounds like an appointment that is an establishment qualified Republican who was willing to take the job. In quieter times, it'd hardly be noticed.

 

Also worked for and with Jim Comey in the DOJ. For a country of 330 million people, our capital is a very small world.

 

Common throughout the South. They'd even loan out prisoners (of all skin colors) to political appointees who needed labor done on various projects.

 

Happens in Louisiana too.

Somebody just wrote an article about it, comparing it to modern day slavery, but I can't find it now.

A variety of high-powered Washington type lawyers on both sides of the aisle are vouching for Wray. Perhaps Trump is learning that vanilla is often the best flavor in politics.
