President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Shit like this helps explain why Trump won.

I hope her Netflix show is failing miserably.

 

Oh, that death toll of 61 wasn't accurate? Shocking!

Puerto Rico cites storm death toll of 1,427 in damage report

 

But the biggest problem here is that there is an easy solution: Just tell the truth — at all times.

What this really shows is how deathly afraid Trump’s lawyers are that he can’t do that during such an interview. Trump’s more than 4,000 falsehoods and misleading statements as president have been well-documented. And he’s already shown that he struggles to square his hyperbolic and untrue statements while being deposed.

Ha ha ha. Go get 'em, big boy.

 

Sure, Mueller is going to talk to Trump about obstruction of justice with the two most obvious and important examples off the table. Count on that one. Rudy might as well have posted a "Hell No!" billboard across from Mueller's office window.

Rudy's Mueller demand: No questions on Flynn, Comey

 

Since when do witnesses set the terms for an investigation. Either he submits voluntarily to questioning or he is brought before a Grand Jury to assert his 5thAmendment rights.

 

Folly! What folly!

Commerce orders NOAA to prioritize water for firefighting over endangered species

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross ordered the National Marine Fisheries Service to "facilitate access to the water" needed to fight ongoing wildfires, rather than continue to provide some of it for protecting endangered species, such as Chinook salmon.

Why it matters: The policy directive follows tweets President Trump sent that were met with confusion by California officials, including firefighters, who said the state has more than enough water to combat the blazes.


The directive prioritizes firefighting needs above water allocation requirements under the Endangered Species Act, and other agreements established with the state of California and other federal agencies.

• "American lives and property are at stake and swift action is needed," Ross said in a statement.

The big picture: The directive also implies that NOAA, which oversees NMFS, is rethinking its role in managing California's water to preserve endangered marine species, such as the Delta smelt and winter-run Chinook salmon.

• California's State Water Resources Control Board voted in July to use more of the state's water allocations for preserving fish populations — meaning farmers would get less than they were receiving. Republican state and federal lawmakers have opposed this plan.

 

Trump Uses Dinner with C.E.O.s to Claim Chinese Students Are “Spies”

"But finding out what else he can do for corporate America, on top of last year’s gigantic tax cut, was apparently not the only item on the president’s agenda. Like many a gathering in which the former real-estate developer has been allowed to open his mouth and let the crazy, ignorant, racist bulls--t in his brain come spewing out, the night also included at least one unhinged rant,"

 

Remind me again how exactly is Trump forced to go before a grand jury?

 

Yes, I have seen worshipful actions and words from the pro-death crowd. It's like a sacrament to them.
