President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

ICE PR flack 1: Of all the days for our Photoshop guy to be out sick! We can’t send this out with the Nazi tattoo visible.
ICE PR flack 2: I don’t know, man, it’s already set up in Hootsuite. Let’s just roll with it and hope no one notices.

EDIT: ICE says it's the symbol for his platoon in Afghanistan. Seems plausible enough to me.

 

ICE PR flack 3: If we start getting heat about it, just stick a White Helmet on him and send him to Syria.

 

No collusion!

• For most of last year, Ross served as secretary of commerce while maintaining stakes in companies co-owned by the Chinese government, a shipping firm tied to Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, a Cypriot bank reportedly caught up in the Robert Mueller investigation and a huge player in an industry Ross is now investigating. It’s hard to imagine a more radioactive portfolio for a cabinet member.
• To this day, Ross’ family apparently continues to have an interest in these toxic holdings. Rather than dump them all, the commerce secretary sold some of his interests to Goldman Sachs – and, according to Ross himself, put others in a trust for his family members. He continued to deal with China, Russia and others while evidently knowing that his family’s interests were tied to those countries.
• In addition, five days before reports surfaced last fall that Ross was connected to cronies of Vladimir Putin, through a shipping firm called Navigator Holdings, the secretary of commerce, who likely knew about the reporting, shorted stock in the Kremlin-linked company, positioning himself to make money on the investment when share prices dropped.

Sure. My taxes are lower, wages are up, my 401(k) is up, stocks are up, unemployment is down, AND liberals are crying and whining. What's not to love?

 

Well thank god we got a deeply corrupt, venal piece of human garbage who is a novice as well. I think back fondly to the times when some poster wanted a “strong” president.

 

I would like to believe that, but I don’t.

SCOTUS avoids addressing any substantive issues in the Wisconsin gerrymandering case, instead finding the plaintiffs failed to prove standing. The case was remanded and these plaintiffs given another chance to show they have standing to bring a challenge (with a cite to a tax case!):

"Where a plaintiff has failed to demonstrate standing, this Court usually directs dismissal. See, e.g., DaimlerChrysler Corp. v. Cuno, 547 U. S. 332, 354. Here, however, where the case concerns an unsettled kind of claim that the Court has not agreed upon, the contours and justiciability of which are unresolved, the case is remanded to the District Court to give the plaintiffs an opportunity to prove concrete and particularized injuries using evidence that would tend to demonstrate a burden on their individual votes."

 

hey, I like your picture, it is similar to mine, giant gorilla holding a volkswagon. You can't see it in the picture but he has his hand out also, though we have never tested the strength of the hand.
