Re: Trump is getting his talking points from a movie
Thanks. You just HAD to bring that up.
It's bad enough knowing he's screwing over the nation and the entire world. I really didn't need to know how bonkers this guy really is.
Every time I think, "Really? Is this guy really that damn dense?" he comes up with crap like this.
It scares me. Remember, we gotta get through two more years of this moron.

Re: Trump is getting his talking points from a movie
then don't read the articles about his disagreements with the heads of his intelligence agencies. What an idiot
Ahhh ... yeah ... too late.
Maybe M'lady Faith is right and this is god's judgement upon a wicked nation.
Sure feels like it. 'cept for the god part.

Re: Why stay in federal service
Of course, another question is whether this administration is doing that as part of a long-range plan to privatize, or out of sheer incompetence.
Ooo! ooo! Me... I know this one!
Yes.

Re: Barr has the Mueller Report
The republicans all think he shits chocolate syrup.
Well, he did bring them closer to the rise of the alt-right which appears to be an increasing source of votes in this country.

Re: dementia or something
The birds may help save you as they are on a concerted effort to bring the towering beasts down. I’ve been talking to them about not slamming into the blades but into the opening of the cowling surrounding the generator itself but since they don’t speak Norwegian it’s difficult to get the concept across. Problem is I don’t speak Norwegian either which makes things doubly difficult.

So what we're saying is that Mueller's team determined that Sarah stood at her podium day after day and lied through her teeth, something everyone already knew from multiple experiences through several years.
Revelation.
What are we to expect next? That Mueller couldn't proceed against Trump because of the presidential shield?
Wait ...
He already said that.

Re: DONALD TRUMP SAYS GAMING TAX SYSTEM WAS ”SPORT’
And there is no way to hold him accountable for the long term damage he is doing to every agency...
I think the departments and the rest of the civil service can recover with a new administration albeit a lot of those loses will not be recovered in the rebuilding.
The environmental and political damage done to the world, however, may take decades to fix if they can be fixed at all.

FYI
FYI.
From what I’ve gathered from some recent reading (below) on congressional subpoena powers facing executive privilege, both parties discuss the issues to see if any accommodation can be had before resorting to that third branch of government with which they are supposed to be equal. With 20 some subpoenas demanding documents this negotiation could take several years.
If an impatient House decides to go to the Courts that effort usually, historically, begins in the District court not the Supremes. Again historically, the federal courts have tried to keep such cases at arm’s length which means they want to think on it for a spell. For a long spell. Hoping the continuing discussions of the other two branches will result in some accommodation still before the court is compelled, as a matter of judicial temperament, to act.
Have a seat folks. This is going to take a while and may not be resolved before the election.
Trump and his legal staff are going to be in a pressure cooker and up to their eyeballs in briefs and position papers for the duration. Those negotiations will not be easy.
I would think that would make life rather difficult on someone running for president.

I don't suppose holding on to him for, oh let's say, 18 months would be something you people could do for your favorite ex-colony? In the tower? Incommunicado?

Re: Trump's Embrace of Foreign Interference Draws FEC Response
quote:
It is not illegal to contract with a foreign person or foreign entity for services, including conducting opposition research on a U.S. campaign, so long as the service was paid for at the market rate
Actually, I don't have a problem with this. If my campaign hires your investigative services to dig up dirt on Mike it shouldn't matter if you're Mexican. Reprehensible, for sure. Not illegal.
