President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

This is true.

 

The lame-duck Speaker of the House whacked the House chaplain for praying for fairness to the poor. There are at least two other and better reasons for the firing :
1) The position shouldn't exist in the first place. SCOTUS' 6-3 vote upholding position on grounds of "tradition" is remarkable.
2) The gig pays $172,500 a year, a mere $1,500 less than actual members of the House. That's Joel Osteen/TD Jakes/Prosperity Gospel money. Ok. It's not. But pretty immense.

Here's how much members of Congress get paid, even when the government is shut down

The deposed chaplain's name is Pat Conroy, and I think he worked at a school or college of some sort before coming to D.C. In the previous role, his nickname had to be The Lord of Discipline. Just had to be.

 

Actually his nickname was the Prince of Tithes.

 

But his best book was My Losing Sermon.

 

What the fuck is the deal with this?

The Secret Service said Friday that it has no record of having to prevent White House physician Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson from disturbing former President Barack Obama during a foreign travel mission in 2015.

“Over the last 48 hours, media outlets have alleged that U.S. Secret Service personnel were forced to intervene during a presidential foreign travel assignment in order to prevent disturbing (former) President Barack Obama,” the Secret Service said in a press statementFriday. “The Secret Service has no such record of any incident; specifically, any incident involving Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson.”

After a review of all internal documents related to presidential foreign travel in 2015 and conducting interviews with those who were present during those trips, the Secret Service concluded that the allegations of intervention hold no validity.

“Rear Admiral Jackson, in his role as the official White House Physician, has provided years of dedicated support to the men and women of the Secret Service, often miles from home and under difficult travel conditions, in order to ensure our personnel are healthy and prepared to execute our critical mission,” the Secret Service said in its statement.

Thanks for keeping me in the loop. So I guess her and Fushion GPS convinced Rinat Akhmetshin and Ike Kaveladze to go along to help with this deep state plan?

 

Hillary better not raise her hand too fast. She might fall. When she does, though, SJ.com's KellyAnne will let us know.

 

Crazy Bernie vs. Creepy Uncle Joe Biden vs. Crooked Hillary is going to be a great 2020 primary.
