The Donald Trump Score Card

Got some news for you: Egger wrote about the FIRST change of policy where the first approved use of cyanide was reversed. I wrote about the REAUTHORIZATION which was reported today. This proves Trump changes his mind like some change socks. It is a sign of one suffering from Bipolar mood swings. So VG, you can enroll in that Special Ed class if they have them in Australia; moreover, you need to pay closer attention otherwise you'll get a BIG FAT F in my Political Science class.

 

I've actually been steady giving donations to Project Corazon Travel Fund — Lawyers for Good Government
But I haven't talked about it here because it's annoying how you call people nutty for caring but then turn around and call them on not caring if they talk about it.
No one can win with you, ol' VG

 

It's his turn up shit creek.

 

We all wrote about the refugees.

 

Tax returns are going to be anti-climactic

He just doesnt want anyone to know hes not that crash hot at business, or that he paid $1 in income tax some years

Its not like you are going to see a deduction that says - money to pay off a porn star

You all know that right?

 

I donated several times to the ACLU to help them.

 

Ok, show me where, after April this year

 

I meant the rest of them, not you

You I believe

 

Aw shucks

 

Trump Tax Case Should Be an Easy Supreme Court Call
“It wouldn't be terribly surprising if the justices decline to consider it at all.”

Trump tax case should be an easy Supreme Court call

excerpts:

"The court was clearly right. As other commentators have noted, the legal issue isn’t close and Supreme Court precedents seem to weigh against the White House. What deserves more attention is the sharp difference between the president’s entirely reasonable view on a fundamental question (whether he can be prosecuted) and his entirely unreasonable view on the question here (whether his tax records can be subpoenaed)."


"If you have to worry about a potential jail sentence, and fend off a prosecutor, it’s not easy to make the most fundamental decisions about war and peace, or about the direction of the economy. The point isn’t that the president is “above the law.” It’s that he has an assortment of constitutional responsibilities, and he has to be able to discharge them.

For that reason, his immunity from criminal prosecution shouldn’t be seen as a shield intended to protect him personally. It’s designed to protect the American people.

But in this week’s case, Trump tried to use that argument in a context in which it doesn’t make even a little bit of sense."


"In response to Trump’s broad claim of absolute immunity, the appeals court resorted to a form of judicial minimalism. It pointedly declined to resolve the question whether a sitting president could be prosecuted. It said, far more modestly, that nothing in the Constitution forbids enforcement of a subpoena directing a third party (rather than the president personally) to produce materials that are themselves not “privileged” by the Constitution.

The court was careful to emphasize that the subpoena did not seek information about activities undertaken by the president in his official capacity. Nor could Trump claim executive privilege, because the records sought by the district attorney did not include any conversations between Trump and his White House advisers."

 

Hahaha
North Korea takes shot at Trump: 'Senility of a dotard'

 

Another Trump bromance that fizzled.

 

Okay, sometimes this guy is pretty funny.

Twitter

 

Huh. Thats new. I've never heard him make fun of himself before

 

Some have likened Trump to the bodacious, oversize, carrot alien on Lost In Space.

 

So if your political opponent happens to maybe doing something wrong and your political opponents son is using his fathers name to make big bucks for some BS no show job they are immune from oversight?

The president has to be the most thoroughly investigated man on the planet and this is all they’ve got?

He’s even cleaner than I thought he was.

 

Yeah.... You're apparently not paying attention.

 

So your saying he saw that Biden got his unqualified son a job, and Trump in his vast intolerance of corruption said "Jared we can"t have this kinda corruption. Go hold up the money."

Getting your unqualified kids jobs is just standard American corruption. Like the Kush.

Witholding aid to Ukraine on the condition that their government investigates your political rival is next gen bribery, extortion, and corruption.

 

Wow. Nunes is posting here?

 

People Voted for Trump Because They Were Anxious, Not Poor
A new study finds that Trump voters weren’t losing income or jobs. Instead, they were concerned about their place in the world.

People Voted for Trump Because They Were Anxious, Not Poor

excerpts:

"“Instead,” she writes, “it was about dominant groups that felt threatened by change and a candidate who took advantage of that trend.”

“For the first time since Europeans arrived in this country,” Mutz notes, “white Americans are being told that they will soon be a minority race.” When members of a historically dominant group feel threatened, she explains, they go through some interesting psychological twists and turns to make themselves feel okay again. First, they get nostalgic and try to protect the status quo however they can. They defend their own group (“all lives matter”), they start behaving in more traditional ways, and they start to feel more negatively toward other groups.

This could be why in one study, whites who were presented with evidence of racial progress experienced lower self-esteem afterward. In another study, reminding whites who were high in “ethnic identification” that nonwhite groups will soon outnumber them revved up their support for Trump, their desire for anti-immigrant policies, and their opposition to political correctness.

Mutz also found that “half of Americans view trade as something that benefits job availability in other countries at the expense of jobs for Americans.”"


"These why-did-people-vote-for-Trump studies are clarifying, but also a little bit unsatisfying, from the point of view of a politician. They dispel the fiction—to use another 2016 meme—that the majority of Trump supporters are disenfranchised victims of capitalism’s cruelties. At the same time, deep-seated psychological resentment is harder for policy makers to address than an overly meager disability check. You can teach out-of-work coal miners to code, but you may not be able to convince them to embrace changing racial and gender norms. You can offer universal basic incomes, but that won’t ameliorate resentment of demographic changes.

In other words, it’s now pretty clear that many Trump supporters feel threatened, frustrated, and marginalized—not on an economic, but on an existential level. Now what?"
