You personally? Yup, that is your right. You, the business that has chosen to enter into (associate with) a market controlled by the United States government? Sorry, you gotta abide by the rules arbitrated by those idiots in robes. Don’t like it? Restructure. Expressive associations can discriminate all they want.

I honestly hope they get needled over this. “Oh, it actually is funding for the wall? Well, what are you doing to make Mexico pay for it? Show your work please. You can’t? You probably shouldn’t be asking for more money until you can square away this small amount ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

Or being cowed when interrupted by the pastor that invited him to her congregation to stop it when he went into campaign mode and then hours later going after her on F&F.

Your comment history makes you seem like a real peach, but against my better judgement I’ll reply.

I don’t really give a shit about Musk, but the post is spot on. Trump has never had any interest in listening to opposing views. He wants to be seen with important people to make himself appear important which is sad behavior for the fucking President of the United States.

Exactly. Nobody even thinks of Jackson until a racist using the guise of a deficit hawk injects him into the conversation. It’s like comparing his Presidency to Warren Harding, which by the way, if you exclude the blandness of his campaigning and the current unpopularity is not a terrible comparison to the Trump…

You may be thinking of Bannon’s “dismantling of the administrative state.” It’s not too far off given the refusal to staff key positions up and down the administration and the nomination of heads clearly adversarial to the entities they run.

I’m honestly give him (sort of) props for staying somewhat serious up to this point. Given the amount of blatant, easily refuted lies he has to tell day in and out, I would have gone into IDGAF mode and just started seeing how ridiculous I could get. “That’s right, we got rid of the EPA because we believe it will…

I agree. I don’t think he’s actually done any sort of negotiating. He does an optional part of the process where when the deal is all but done he comes in to try to get the little extra that’s not big enough to sink the deal. I called it quibbling by mistake, it’s actually called nibbling, but it might as well be…

I doubt he did the majority of the negotiating, even early on. I’m guessing most of the valuation, legal requirements, and major compromises were probably done by other parties while Trump would come in at the end, quibble to get his “win”, and then take credit for everything.

Especially because the entire manufactured controversy is a criminal charge levied against another person. It’s not an opinion. You either have evidence of it, or you don’t—there are no “sides”.

To be fair, when they go through the middle or up high, he goes dumb too. He’s pretty consistent that way.

What fucking checks and balances? You control both houses, the executive branch, and pretty much a majority in the judicial.

It absolutely would backfire. Pretty much the only thing keeping Trump from being sued into oblivion is the requirement to prove a material loss. He reaches the threshold of actual malice pretty frequently. Obama alone could bankrupt him.

Trump has been relying heavily on China’s President Xi Jinping, a man with whom he enjoyed dessert in Mar-a-lago while 59 missiles struck a Syrian airbase on his command earlier this month. “I believe he is trying very hard. He certainly doesn’t want to see turmoil and death. He doesn’t want to see it. He is a…

*The administrators refused to deal with the ongoing harassment because “It’s not sexual and he’s not threatening violence so we aren’t sure how to proceed.”

Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ on a Cracker sums up my view whenever he opens his mouth.

No. Undocumenteds are subject to the same criminal proceedings as citizens. I believe that jail time can be abrogated in some instances for an agreement for immediate deportation, but that stems from prison overpopulation and I don’t believe applies to the most heinous stuff.

The difference is that you have a pretty good idea that the Illegal will not return to court.
