President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I thought mocking and being a big, mean meanie are exclusive domain of “MALs.”

 

Oh, no, that's not mocking. That's whining and shameless hypocrisy.

 

From the AP ... BREAKING: US imposes sanctions on 19 Russians for alleged interference in American election, including 13 indicted by Mueller.

 

I believe you believe that.

 

Sweet home, Alabama ...

Alabama Sheriff Legally Took $750,000 Meant To Feed Inmates, Bought Beach House

A sheriff in Alabama took home as personal profit more than $750,000 that was budgeted to feed jail inmates — and then purchased a $740,000 beach house, a reporter at The Birmingham News found.

And it's perfectly legal in Alabama, according to state law and local officials.

Alabama has a Depression-era law that allows sheriffs to "keep and retain" unspent money from jail food-provision accounts. Sheriffs across the state take excess money as personal income — and, in the event of a shortfall, are personally liable for covering the gap.

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin told the News that he follows that practice of taking extra money from the fund, saying, "The law says it's a personal account and that's the way I've always done it."

Sheriffs across the state do the same thing and have for decades. In most cases, the public doesn't know how much money is involved because sheriffs do not need to report extra income of less than $250,000 a year.

 

She is awesome. I can't wait to have the chance to vote for her (pending everything else I don't yet know about her).

 

So the poor bastards in jail eat peanut butter sandwiches and are always hungry. That leads to the prisoners getting their families to deposit money in their account that they can spend in the prison store to get ramen or whatever. At the Jefferson County Jail in Birmingham, from .01 to 19.99 costs $3.95 to deposit, from $20 to $99.99 costs 7.95. That's Birmingham's county, I don't know how bad it is in some of the small counties where this racket really rakes it in.

 

From January. Imagine what this guy will do to environmental protection laws as Attny. Gen.

Then there's the little matter of sacking Mueller...

First the coup, then the chaos, then the bloodshed.

 

Things are getting worse faster than I can lower my standards.
