President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

American doctors don't want to go into family practice. The hours are long and the pay is not nearly as good as if you specialize. Dermatologists make more money, and nobody calls them in the middle of the night wanting antibiotics or pain meds. If you add rural or even semi-rural to being a general practice doctor, there are even fewer people interested in the job. The existing family doctors are aging and retiring, and there are far too few young graduates to replace them.

This is already a problem, and it will probably continue to worsen into a crisis until the reimbursement for family practice doctors increases enough to attract a new generation.

 

Sometimes you've got to break some laws to make an omelette.

 

Wait. You don't take that as evidence that he's a prolific -- and often designated -- leaker, and that all the Beltway media are aware of this?

 

All this Obama Surveillance Scandal stuff has forced me to make an important decision: I won't vote for him anymore.

 

I can't wait until the hearings.

Don't think the third installment of the LA Times' editorial series has been posted yet, so:

Trump's Authoritarian Vision

 

The "unmasking" sidetrack is just more Mike Cernovich-invented bullshit to help Trump try to justify his unjustifiable accusation that Obama wiretapped him. Trump should probably just concede that he made up an outrageous lie during one of his delusional Twitter storms then apologize to President Obama.

 

In truly weird news, Washington Post reports that Trump administration is considering a VAT and/or carbon tax as part of its tax reform proposals!

 

Look who's jealous he can't see the emperor's new clothes

 

Nice try. Too bad it's not true.

American citizens, who were not the subject of any investigation, had their identities unmasked, for political purposes. The info was then widely disseminated within the administration, and illegally leaked.

It's a genuine scandal.

 

Nope. There is no evidence to suggest any such thing happened. Trump needs to just get out there and apologize. He's wasting too much political capital trying to get himself out from under another stupid tweet.
