President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Actually, yes it is illegal. Trump was not yet President, and it is flat illegal for private citizens to conduct diplomacy.

 

I think we can expect Trump to weigh in on how terrible the Tennessee athletic director is any minute now.

 

I think I want Don Jr. to go to jail the most. That's the one that would cause me to take a long pull from a cigarette.

 

I might take up smoking when that happens just so I can put my feet up on the desk, take a long drag, and send a long stream up at the ceiling grinning.

 

If by "all hell" you mean several comments by Republican congressmen about how concerned they are but no actual consequences for blatant obstruction of justice?

 

Why him?

 

Start shooting heroin if Trump gets impeached?

Opinion | The Trump tax plan just hit another rough patch. The real problem? Math, and GOP lies.

"Because the plan cannot increase the deficit in the out-years, Senate Republicans have packaged a large permanent corporate tax cut with temporary tax preferences and cuts to individual rates that do give many working- and middle-class taxpayers short-term cuts — and will expire after 2025. The result: The plan gives the top 1 percent (who overwhelmingly benefit from corporate rate cuts) an enormous tax cut in 2027, while up to 50 percent of taxpayers see a hike.

Republicans have falsely described their plan as fundamentally a middle-class tax cut. This has forced them to claim that of course Congress will renew those tax cuts for less-fortunate earners later, so the long-term tax hike on them doesn’t really count. But if this is so, then that raises a question about the changes that are now being made to accommodate Corker. Either those changes amount to an even bigger tax hike later, when taken along with the expiration of tax cuts that is already scheduled in the plan, or Republicans will again say that none of these tax hikes will ever really take effect, which means the explosion to the deficit later is still very much on schedule."
