MAKE TRICHINOSIS GREAT AGAIN

Another Trump administration blow against the Establishment on behalf of the working class:



Nothing could possibly go wrong.

As Krugman says, I don’t even think this is driven primarily by corporate profits:

Kavanaugh wants other people to lie for him too:

Yeah, this dumbass would never give away sensitive information.

And now that neighbor is complaining about our 20 year old bumper sticker

Yeah, what if trump stated that if re-elected he would normalize relations and drop sanctions?

Inviting the Russians for another round of election interference.

Well if he wouldnt lie about how many incidences there are, he wouldn't have to wait to see what turns up.  

This seems to be a disturbing pattern in his behavior.  One picture, sure its a youthful indiscretion. Two pictures, well that's just how the times were.  He apologizes and claims that was the only 2 times.  Now a video has emerged?  Him being "woke" and a progressive leader with this scandal just screams hypocrisy. So much for getting in front of it.

This is the stuff that gets ignored by most media, but has the long term consequences.  Presidents of both parties (yes, both) have gathered more power to the executive branch, but this administration doesn't acknowledge that the legislative has any oversight power at all, and runs roughshod over the power of the purse as well.  One of the reasons Barr got his job was that he wrote several opinion pieces about the primacy of executive power in the American government model.  

Ya think?

Former GOP intel chair spooked by Trump’s foreign phone call scandal: ‘This is a serious charge’

Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), a former FBI special agent and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, found himself feeling unnerved by President Donald Trump’s latest scandal involving an alleged “promise” to a foreign leader that was flagged by a whistleblower within the intelligence community.

Appearing on CNN, Rogers said that Congress does need to know more about the whistleblower complaint and he called it a “serious charge.” However, he also cautioned against airing things out in public because presidents are supposed to have significant flexibility when it comes to conducting foreign policy in secret.

“The president does legally have the ability to promise anything he wants,” Rogers said. “He has, legally, the ability to declassify in an instant. So you have to make sure that what the whistleblower is saying isn’t the normal course of operations of the president. He may have disagreed with it, may have not liked it, but does it rise to the level of a criminal complaint?”

Rogers then said learning more about the complaint is entirely valid because the intelligence community inspector general reviewed the complaint and found there was “something here.”

Nonetheless, he cautioned Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) into showboating about this case because of how sensitive it is to the president’s powers under the Constitution.

“This is a serious charge, it’s a serious allegation,” he said. “It needs to be handled in a serious way, but you don’t do it by having press conferences pointing fingers and implying that this is an awful, horrible thing.”

I would agree with Rogers if Schiff had another option to force compliance with written law. This maladministration could have followed normal procedures but nooooooo...

Funny how Trump wasn't racist until 2015.  Its the lefts typical playbook along with their media arm, no one on the right really believes or pays attention anymore.  The word "racist" just doesn't have the effect it used to.  That's sad for the people that it actually does affect.

See, I actually took the alternate interpretation - each incident is from earlier and earlier in his life.  His first apology was acknowledging it was wrong and that he now recognizes that it was racist and he shouldn't have done it.  Since then we've seen earlier and earlier incidents.  Other than "hey, there's more", there's nothing in his defense that was undermined by the new info

He's a French Canadian who has figured out how to sound mostly like he's a native English speaker in English.  There's some oddities in his accent because of this.  I think

It's a problem, because clearly, the mocking is ongoing.
