trump catch all - part 7

Steve Schmidt...

“The mendacious Attorney General who is reported to have ordered a political smear of the FBI director presides over a Justice Department that has opened up a Fox News, Breitbart, Alex Jones mandated, Banana Republican criminal investigation of the Presidents frmr opponent. 1/2”

“2/2. This is as sinister as it is dangerous. Kangaroo Court justice influenced by a political mob is not acceptable in the United States. The corruption of dem. norms and the rule of by this constitutionally faithless POTUS and his abettors threatens our Republic. Serious times”

And he’s a Republican...

Sooo president tiny hands is hosting a “ how we can screw the American People even more in 2018” planning session at Camp David this weekend. 

Just about anyone who is anyone in the Republican World.  

Missing is Jeff Sessions.  All other cabinet members will be there but not Sessions.

Any ideas what this means. 😀

Oh Scott Pruitt has said he would love to be Attorney General.

JamesVGrimaldi.....


“No record of a college degree for Trump nominee to run troubled $6B Indian Health Service. Says he was a Missouri hospital supervisor but @wsj investigation finds scant evidence. He says his work records were destroyed in a tornado.“

You have to admit this is better than “the dog ate my homework.”  😀

NBC News...

"If Robert Mueller asks you to come and speak with his committee personally, are you committed still to doing that?"

President Trump: "Just so you understand, there's been no collusion. There's been no crime. And, in theory, everybody tells me I'm not under investigation."

Notice how he didm’t Answer the question.  And “in theory”?

Just so you know.

NBC News....

"Did you ask the White House counsel to ask AG Sessions not to recuse himself from the Russia investigation?"

President Trump: "Everything that I've done is 100% proper. That's what I do, is I do things proper."

tiny hands...

“I’ve had to put up with the Fake News from the first day I announced that I would be running for President. Now I have to put up with a Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author. Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!”

Prompted this response from Walter Shaub..

“Let us know when you start handling it well, stable genius.”

While this is not that much of a pithy response it does show how dumb trump is.  The guy who thinks he is a great master of assigning nasty nicknames to his opponents managed to assign a doozy of a one to himself.  Well done president donald “I’m a stable genius” trump.

This from trump...

“I’ve had to put up with the Fake News from the first day I announced that I would be running for President. Now I have to put up with a Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author. Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!”

Prompted this response from Rep Don Beyer....

“You should have seen what happened to President Obama. Even though he was born in Hawaii, a very stable genius kept trying to spread a racist lie that he was born in Africa. It was terrible”

😀

The ridiculous of where we find ourselves with a trump presidency is just breath taking.

Elections have consequences and to those 61M voters who didn’t vote and to those who voted for a third party that is no longer an option.

On another thread there was a discussion about cutting safety programs to pay for the tax cuts.  As always there are those who feel since these safety nets don’t benefit them personally they should be done away with and let some mythical individuals help other less fortunate.

But here is the cost of the tax cuts that effects all of us...

From Foreign Policy...

“President Donald Trump has insisted that he will be tougher on terrorism than his predecessor, but a new report indicates that the White House may be planning to reduce funding for key U.S. counterterrorism programs and to eliminate one program altogether.

The administration is seeking a total of $568 million in cuts from counterterrorism programs from 2017 levels, according to a report released Tuesday by the Democratic staff of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The report is based on a document sent from the Office of Management and Budget back to the Department of Homeland Security containing White House guidance on the proposed 2019 budget; the document was leaked to the Democratic staff of the homeland security committee in November.”

Add that to the cuts to the State Department, The EPA, and entities like the Coast Guard.

All of these departments and entities and others exist to protect all Americans living in this country and abroad.   That is the real cost of those tax cuts that will not benefit all Americans and will not create the jobs that are needed.

Bottom line,  this country can’t afford these tax cuts.

Here is another consequence of the tax cuts that we can’t afford.

Chris Lu...

Trump's work on opioids so far:
-Drug czar nominee withdrew. No new nominee
-Proposed $400 million cut to agency that oversees substance abuse programs
-Tried to cut Medicaid which provides addiction services
-DOJ promotes jail instead of treatment for drug offenders

But hey let some mythical character that doesn’t anything about opioids pick up the slack.

By the way a lot of the proposed cuts are grants that are given to organizations that have the professional knowledge on how to handle whatever program that it is.
