POTUS 45.4 - What's a Battle?

Re: POTUS 45.4 - What's a Battle?

Next nominee for Labor secretary looks competent, albeit a party hack.

Acosta was criticized for some of his actions as assistant attorney general, though, including his decision in 2004 to notify a federal judge that the Justice Department saw no issue with Republicans’ plan to place “challengers” at some polling places during the election. Democrats fought against this, arguing that it was discriminatory because the challengers were being placed mainly in black neighborhoods.

“It is totally unusual, it is unprecedented for the Justice Department to offer its opinions on the merits of a case like that,” Al Gerhardstein, a lawyer representing two civil rights activists, said at the time. “This is the civil rights division saying it is OK for voters to be ambushed when they reach for a ballot. That’s how the letter reads to me.”

So... yeah.

Better than the burger king, anyway.

To be fair stories about the veal fattening pens where Members sit dialing for dollars have been stock fare for at least a decade.

It's funny because it's something EVERY Member hates and wants to kill, but it's also one of their main ways to scrape up bribery dollars so they don't dare give it up.

Sometimes I think if you introduced public campaign financing it would pass 435/100 - 0 just so the Members could improve their quality of life. According to people on the Hill it's the worst duty you can pull in government short of actually cleaning Trumps laundry.

No, I'm saying this has been the way in Washington for 20 years now. So glad you're finally noticing.

Twenty years ago? Higher. I was a tourist in DC and I had a relative with an "in" with someone in then-Senator Conrad's office. We were supposed to get to meet him in his Senate office. It was all planned; the whole smile-photo thing. We got to see the office; we got blown off because Kent was on the phone beggin' on a donor. That's when this issue first got stuck in my craw.

Constituents? Meh.
Donor!

Meanwhile. Thank God white people are so downright inept at this stuff.

It's not even that, it's the open opposition to basic human rights.

WASHINGTON — President Trump escalated his attacks on the intelligence community on Thursday, promising to catch the “low-life leakers” who have supplied the “fake news media” with information on his administration’s ties to Russia, information that he dismissed as a political excuse for Democratic losses.

This isn't good for Democracy or a Constitutional Republic. Not good at all.

< listening to Trump's press conference >

Is "bigly" morphing into "big league"? Improving his command of the language would be ... < wait for it > ... YUUUUUGE!

"The Democrats are very difficult". - Donald Trump.

They're delaying he said? They have no power you dumb ****. God this rhetoric ****es me off.
 
Re: POTUS 45.4 - What's a Battle?

Ya know, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the leaks were coming from Trump himself. Why?

1) It keeps the media's attention focused on the turmoil in the White House, instead of what everyone else is doing.
2) It lends to the "I alone can fix it" mantra of his campaign.
3.) He can keep accusing the media of reporting "fake news" when he actually does the opposite.

This country is in deep.

Sam Bee was really good last night.

Drill baby drill!

Also, Trump Tower is now known as "Isengard" from here on out. It's a perfect fit if you think of Trump as Saurman and Putin as Sauron. :)
