President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

If he leaves it will create a whole bunch of vacancies.

 

He's negotiating to be ACTING President of U of South Carolina.

 

If Mick Mulvaney sent out feelers about being the football coach, he'd have no shot. But be president of the university? Come on down. They'd love it. Much like making an opponent of education the Secretary of Education and a polluter the head of the EPA, Trumpists love to promote killers.

 

The US drug trade, and US intervention in South and Central America over the last 125 years, account for a lot of our troubles.

 

Your move, networks. Put up or shut up.

 

Reminds me of a great Letterman monologue joke.
"Tomorrow, First Lady Nancy Reagan will address the nation. The topic of her speech: Just Say No To Drugs." I understand that, in conjunction with the principles of the Fairness Doctrine, David Crosby will get equal time for rebuttal."

 

It's been done as long as I can remember for the State of the Union address. They have to in this case, I'd think.

 

NYT article yet again about embattled Trump voters, this one in some backwater Florida panhandle area where the federal prison is the only game in town. Money quote from some old woman "I don't understand. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting." Defend that one, Alma. These people are the scum, not salt, of the earth.
