President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

What a fucking joke.

 

Dick Cheney wonders what the fuss is about, then wings another hunting buddy.

 

Remember when Saddam was retreating from Kuwait and he set all the oil wells on fire, and it took years to put them out? The Trump administration is the government equivalent of that. It's going to take decades to clean up the mess.

 

Jesus Christ. A $300 million contract going to a company with only two employees two months ago? Yeah, and I'm sure there was a completely fair and open bidding process for that contract, right?

Smells like the same sort of corrupt contract-cronyism that went on with Iraq during the Bush/Cheney years.

 

It took 10 months, IIRC.

 

Trump nominees show up for work without waiting for Senate approval

 

Obama's reading of a passage in his book is pretty powerful stuff.

 

Nothing says you're the champion of the middle class like going after 401(k) retirement plans to give tax breaks to the highest tax bracket. Which, since Trump said he won't let it happen, is going to happen.

Trump Promises ‘No Change to Your 401(k)’ as Congress Considers a Contribution Cap

 

The, ah, questionable political utility of that policy is so obvious Trump gets it. I think many Republican Congresspeople do, too. Never say never, but this is close to never.
