President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If Trump does find a way to fire Mueller, it's going to be very interesting to see what he's got holding under a dead man switch. I can't help but think that there are numerous sealed indictments parked somewhere safe.

 

Good debate topic.

US to require would-be immigrants to turn over social media handles - CNNPolitics

The potential scouring of social media postings by potential immigrants is sure to rankle privacy and civil liberties advocates, who have been vocal in opposing such moves going back to efforts by the Obama administration to collect such information on a more selective and voluntary basis.

Critics complain the moves, amid broader efforts by the administration, are not only invasive on privacy grounds, but also effectively limit legal immigration to the US by slowing the process down, making it more burdensome and making it more difficult to be accepted for a visa.

Federal authorities argue the moves are necessary for national security.

In addition to requiring the five years of social media history, the application will also ask for previous telephone numbers, email addresses, prior immigration violations and any family history of involvement in terrorist activities, according to the notice.

 

Judge blocks Avenatti's request to depose Trump and Cohen because arbitration has not been filed. Avenatti say he will instantly refile it if they try for arbitration.

Congrats, Trumpists and republicans. This really is your tribe.

In Everything You Love Will Burn, journalist Vegas Tenold reveals that Heimbach was trained at the Leadership Institute, a think tank in Washington, DC, whose alumni include Mitch McConnell, Grover Norquist, and James O’Keefe; that Heimbach is hugely influenced by Pat Buchanan; and that, on Inauguration Day, Heimbach was introduced to a room full of GOP strategists and state legislators at the Capitol Hill Club, directly across from the Capitol building. “A few years ago the GOP wouldn’t be able to even sit in the same room as you, but things have changed, and now we need each other,” Heimbach’s Republican contact told him, as quoted by Tenold. “This is a big day.”

Great, I'm all for it. Let's get started.

"Did you see Roseanne's ratings!?! Great ratings! Almost as good at The Apprentice. That's The Apprentice when I hosted it, by the way. Anyway, people love Roseanne because she's a Trump voter. She's one of us. Yes, it's true. Also, Hillary wrote the Korea trade agreement signed back in 2007 and it's very unfair to American workers. Fake News. No collusion. Nobody loves the troops more than I do. Second Amendment."
