The Donald Trump Score Card

But you know, they did overthrow the government.

 

In Trump's case: yes. He might have three or four, maybe more if we count the one who serves Putin?

 

Not Necessarily, since he kisses Saudi Buttocks.

 

....you mean like the guy you've spent 885 pages complaining about?

 

Of course he didnt

 

Might as well. Makes as much sense. We used to have a governor in Oklahoma, David Hall, back in the 70s, who had billboard signs along the highway :"God Bless Governor Hall". Ended up serving time in the federal pen for bribery and extortion and made history as the first Oklahoma Governor to be convicted of criminal acts committed during his tenure in office. Is there a pattern here?

 

Dont you think this is one of those posts where you do sound looney toones?

One governor from one state over 40 years ago that got convicted of something and the current president who wont get convicted

Is there a pattern there? And what would that pattern be? Politicians with signs relating to a deity do or do not get convicted?

 

Trump has crippled the WTO now has he?

Jeezus christ, articles like that are exactly why you shouldnt read the NY times

 

So in 2014, when a Republican senator introduces a Ukraine funding bill, its the "Obama administration"

Yeah, I dont think you do know how your country works

You think its insane the leader of a political party gets credit for bills his/her party enacted and voted on?

Happens all the time man, all around the world

 

No, I was speaking about our government. AS for Trump, Jerry Nadler is going to impeach him.

 

Nadler is going to impeach him all by himself is he?

 

(1) In 2014 ALL BILLS OF REVENUE STARTED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. (2) I know more about this country than you do. (3) Why are you so obsessed with American politics?

 

Do I need to explain that to you too? Jerry Nadler is going to get the job done. In any case, elections start in under 9 months.

 

Well of course you lose your credit for the rubber stamp if you solicit a handjob out of the government before distributing aid.

Except that would be must less illegal than what Trump did.

US blocks appointment of WTO judges

US blocks appointment of WTO judges

excerpts:

"The United States had clocked the appointment of judges to the World Trade Organization’s top court on Monday. From Tuesday onwards, the WTO can no longer be the ultimate arbiter in international trade disputes.

For two years, the Trump administration has been obstructing appointments to the seven-member Appellate Body that rules on trade disputes, arguing that the court is overreaching.

The tribunal needs a minimum of three judges to function and the terms of two of the three remaining members expire on Tuesday."


"Washington is threatening to escalate the standoff with the Geneva-based organisation, blocking the 2020 budget."

excerpt:

"The fate of the World Trade Organization's (WTO) top court was effectively sealed Monday after the United States said it would not back a proposal to allow it to continue, trade officials said.

The Trump administration has been blocking appointments to the WTO's seven-member Appellate Body that rules on trade disputes for over two years, with U.S. officials saying the court had gone beyond its remit.

The Appellate Body needs a minimum of three judges to function, but the terms of two of the three remaining members of the appeals panel expire on Tuesday, and there are no replacements in sight because of the U.S. blocking strategy."

 

Australia can't afford to bear more collateral damage from Trump's trade war.

Australia firms see worst slump in conditions since financial crisis

excerpt:

"SYDNEY (BLOOMBERG) - Australian firms suffered the worst slump in conditions since the 2008 global financial crisis as evidence mounts that the economy slowed in the latter part of last year.

The business conditions index - measuring hiring, sales and profits - dropped to 2 in December from 11 a month earlier, a National Australia Bank report showed on Tuesday (Jan 29). A gauge of employment fell to 4 from 9 in November, while profitability plunged to zero from 8. A separate confidence index was unchanged at 3.

NAB chief economist Alan Oster said the drop had been "broad-based" across all states and industries outside of mining. "These declines taken at face value suggest a significant slowing in business activity," he said. "There could be some implications for the labor market and business capital expenditure.""

 

Barr is in his own world of unfettered, unabashed authority of the executive branch.


What Attorney General Barr said vs. what the Mueller report said
Salvador Rizzo

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...eneral-barr-said-vs-what-mueller-report-said/

excerpt:

"Barr during the news conference: “The White House fully cooperated with the Special Counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims. And at the same time, the President took no act that in fact deprived the Special Counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation.”

This is an astonishing claim. Trump has been attacking Mueller’s investigation for two years. Trump declined interview requests from the special counsel and his written answers to questions were deemed “inadequate” by Mueller’s team.

Asked about this, the Justice Department official emphasized that the president chose not to assert executive privilege, turned over reams of documents and directed aides to testify. That’s significant, indeed. But to call this full cooperation is highly misleading."
