Paul Ryan: ‘We’re Going To Stick The Landing On Tax Reform’
“It [tax reform] is more important to us than anything that we get tax reform done,” Ryan told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “Because we think it is absolutely critical for strong economic growth.”
And yet everyday we are told how the “Trump economy” is booming with a record high stock market, low unemployment, positive job growth….what gives??
So, Trump is golfing today. Meanwhile, Congress is still waiting on him to sign the Russian sanctions???
And now Russia is kicking out over 700 of our diplomats and staff in retaliation.

re: #6 Belafon

Looks like he has an out re: Russia kicking our people out.
“I didn’t sign it because we need our people there.”
Martin Longman has a good essay on verifying our vote. Nothing really new; just a good summary.
The way things stand, I can’t blame people for lacking confidence in the integrity of the result. In general, if a system is vulnerable to hacking, it will be hacked. The protections we have in place are clearly insufficient to give the people confidence, and that’s a dangerous situation for a system that relies on the consent of the governed.
re: #6 Belafon
That’s an interesting question: How long can he sit on it?
It’s been long enough. Now that Putin is retaliating, Orange Twitler have an excuse to refuse to sign the bill, arguing that Russia’s response will hurt America and so he must veto the bill to prevent all our diplomats being expelled.
re: #6 Belafon
That’s an interesting question: How long can he sit on it?
After some research: He has ten days or it’s a pocket veto, unless Congress adjourns. Another interesting effect of Democrats not closing shop.
So, if he doesn’t sign it, Congress can act in ten days.

If Congress is still in session when the 10 days expire it becomes law. If they’ve adjourned it does not.
re: #16 calochortus
If Congress is still in session when the 10 days expire it becomes law. If they’ve adjourned it does not.
From research, it’s a pocket veto. Congress would have to override the veto.
Edit: I stand corrected.
Pocket Veto. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

I dunno: with a competent Administration in office, I’d be thinking this is all a carefully-choreographed dance-routine;
1) So Far:
Congress enacts sanctions to piss of the Russians: Trump “regretfully” agrees to sign on: Russians retaliate by booting US personnel:
2) Next steps:
Trump sends the Secretary of State senior diplomatic people Ivanka to Moscow to talk things over: in a couple of days, there’s a huge public BFD ceremony where it’s announced “all differences are resolved” : nobody is expelled: we get our property back, they get their property back (the ones Obama seized); President Asshole gets to dump on Obama some more - and, buried in all the onanistic boilerplate: a veto of the sanctions bill, with the Administration’s “promise” to “revisit the issue as the situation warrants”.
Of course, this is presuming a competent Administration; with the Trump circus, who knows….

Number 2 fails miserably. Then we find out that the ICBM fired by NK was given to them by Russia. And then Cornyn explains that it was on loan and that Russia did it to show America how much danger they were in. Then Trump tweets how this was set up to get him a second term.

Do my homework for me
Can I have your notes from last year?
Wouldn’t it be pretty freaking illegal for Trump to cut the payments off? Seems to me that would put the government in violation of its own law.
A phone call sometime in the near future.
President Donald J. Trump: “Hello Barack, it’s President Trump…”
Private Citizen Barack Obama: “Who?” Sorry, I don’t take prank calls from people acting like the president.”
re: #45 Eclectic Cyborg

There’s no way doing that would avoid ending up in court.
re: #45 Eclectic Cyborg
Yes, the money has to flow if it is part of the law.
The only way to turn off a spigot is to turn off the entire funding machine, i.e., a shutdown of the government because a funding bill has not passed.
This is basically what Trump is threatening. He’s willing to let the entire US government go without funding.
But coming from a guy who liked bankruptcy court in order to skip paying, we should not be surprised by this.
re: #47 makeitstop
There’s no way doing that would avoid ending up in court.
It could be an impeachable offense.
As far as I know, never has there been a case where the Secretary of the Treasury refused to disburse money that was required by law.
Funding bills in Congress are done so the checks don’t bounce. Of course US Treasury checks never will bounce because the Fed will accept said checks at their window in lieu of Fed notes.

Did Shitler find a fucking loophole to veto the Russian sanctions bill
Pocket veto
If Congress prevents the bill’s return by being adjourned during the 10-day period, and the president does not sign the bill, a “pocket veto” occurs and the bill does not become law.
Isn’t Congress on recess until Sept??
re: #45 Eclectic Cyborg

He could be sued for sure, by the insurance companies and since the payments are essentially a passthrough benefit probably by individual ACA exchange customers.

re: #65 sagehen
It’s the majority party who decides when they’re in session and when they’re in recess.
While Republicans control the Senate now, the only way they can formally adjourn — which would set up a period when recess appointments are allowable — is to pass an adjournment resolution. The problem is that Democrats can filibuster that resolution, which they would do to prevent Trump from making recess appointments.

Naaah, I think it’s the other way round: the Congressional GOP (House and Senate) could probably care less about what hacks/ideologues/idiots Trump appoints to all those vacancies, assuming he’d even bother: Dems keeping Congress (House? Senate? I’m unclear on the rules) in pro forma session is what’s more-likely to piss them off. Not enough to avoid their vacations, though: they can still gripe about Democratic obstruction from their home computers/cellphones.

Is there anything he won’t lie about? I would think they’d be most hurt to know their dad has a 15% approval rating, which indicates he’s a failure in his job.

Why would this trouble Trump? Russians overpaid him for his properties. That is the Trump business model. Allow hostile countries to pay him mucho dollars and then he engages in policies that will help them (except, of course, if Congress intervenes).
Let’s see if the anti-Russian law actually takes effect. Or if the GOP backs out after all if Trump doesn’t sign the legislation.

North Korea is not the only nation strutting its military stuff. Today is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army of China.
Noteworthy is Xi’s choice to wear camo, and not a Mao suit, and to review the troops in a jeep, and not a limo. He’s trying to appear like a commander-in-chief (which he is, technically), and China watchers can read a lot of not-so-subtle meaning in that decision.
If any other prez had done half the things Trump has done…a third…a fucking TENTH…he’d be gone like Enron. What’s happened to us?

re: #73 Weaselone
At this point i suspect Republicans probably don’t want him making recess appointments either and are more than happy to let the Dems continue regardless of their griping about obstruction.
Someone told Trump there is this thing called “recess appointments”. That is when he started attacking Sessions in an attempt to get him to resign. The Senate GOP members will not let him replace Sessions with a recess appointment - but they are very happy to blame democrats for this “obstruction”. Keeps them cosy with Trump and Sessions.

Outstanding!
In April 2013, a little more than two years before Trump rode the escalator to the ground floor of Trump Tower to kick off his presidential campaign, police burst into Unit 63A of the high-rise and rounded up 29 suspects in two gambling rings. The operation, which prosecutors called “the world’s largest sports book,” was run out of condos in Trump Tower—including the entire fifty-first floor of the building. In addition, unit 63A—a condo directly below one owned by Trump—served as the headquarters for a “sophisticated money-laundering scheme” that moved an estimated $100 million out of the former Soviet Union, through shell companies in Cyprus, and into investments in the United States. The entire operation, prosecutors say, was working under the protection of Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, whom the FBI identified as a top Russian vor closely allied with Semion Mogilevich. In a single two-month stretch, according to the federal indictment, the money launderers paid Tokhtakhounov $10 million.Tokhtakhounov, who had been indicted a decade earlier for conspiring to fix the ice-skating competition at the 2002 Winter Olympics, was the only suspect to elude arrest. For the next seven months, the Russian crime boss fell off the radar of Interpol, which had issued a red alert. Then, in November 2013, he suddenly appeared live on international television—sitting in the audience at the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. Tokhtakhounov was in the VIP section, just a few seats away from the pageant owner, Donald Trump.

I also tracked down the origin of several weevils wandering around the kitchen. A bag of rice, which was quickly disposed of.

Hey—Nikki’s an ACCOUNTANT (not a very good one, but…)
When she was running for governator, AP story said:
On the campaign trail, state GOP gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley frequently cites her experience as the accountant for her family’s clothing store, saying she oversaw its growth to a multimillion dollar operation, and the state needs such skills.
But records obtained by The Associated Press show the family company has been penalized three times since 2003 for not paying taxes. In each case, the taxes were at least 19 months past due.Two of the tax liens were for failing to pay corporate income taxes and one was for not turning over taxes withheld from employee checks. The company paid nearly $4,000 to remove them, with 43 percent covering penalties and interest. Credit records on the business show it frequently pays operating bills more than a month late, compared with an industry average of 10 days late.

The Rise and Fall of F. Lee Bailey, the Lawyer Who Set O.J. Simpson Free
More than 20 years ago, Bailey helped Simpson beat murder charges. Now, with Simpson up for parole, the bankrupt, disbarred Bailey opens up about his own incredible saga.
by ANDREW GOLDMAN
JUL 17, 2017

Lee Bailey is forever ready to share brutal opinions on the lawyers who have crossed him over the years. Marcia Clark, who in the midst of a row during the O.J. Simpson trial called him a liar? “A harridan,” he growls. His Simpson co-defense counsel and ex-friend Robert Shapiro? “At least mildly sociopathic.” David McGee, the United States Attorney from Florida who doggedly pursued Bailey for helping himself to millions of dollars the government said was not his to spend? “Totally dishonest.”
