It’s GOP-nomics.
The tax scam is their thing. They wanted to redistribute wealth to the millionaire class on the backs of everyone else, and the debt explodes concurrent to the economic slowdown as companies retrench (layoff workers and offshore to avoid trade war damage), and shareholder distributions while workers don’t see wage gains.
This is the outcome they wanted.

Rex is sulking because he could have capped his career by retiring as the very successful CEO of Exxon; instead, he ruined his reputation by accepting a position for which he had limited qualifications from a conman who undercut him at every chance.
The fact that Trump has appointed scores of federal judges is not “an accomplishment,” it’s a goddamned nightmare. He’s stacking the judicial system with far right ideologues.

I’ve been saying this from the beginning… I do not want Trump to die in office, I don’t want him to have to resign because of some health issue either. Those things make him a martyr. I want him impeached, convicted, and removed from office; then I want him indicted, tried, and convicted.

re: #38 Single-handed sailor
How can they write a counter report if there isn’t a report? Maybe the counter report is based on the questions that Mueller gave Trump with 1 to 2 pages per question. So the report would consist now of the question + Trump’s response + (possibly) the reason for rejecting the question. That could easily reach 87 pages.

There wouldn’t be the need for this report if Trump didn’t commit any crimes. If he was convinced he was not guilty of anything, he’d be quiet and let Mueller do his thing and exonerate Trump and his spawn.
But he, and everyone else in Trumpworld, knows he’s fucked (legal term), so they’re spewing this bulkshit early and often to try and claim that there’s another excuse/reason for this all while the indictments pile up (and they have - as they are taking on the air of Watergate, Teapot Dome, Iran Contra, combined in a blender and dumbed down by dumbassery).

re: #51 Big Beautiful Door
Consider just the Chunnel. It’d be a huge mess just to address that one point of entry.
Eurotunnel, however, believes that while “max fac” would be the most costly for business and consumers, the other option - the “customs partnership” favoured by May, under which the UK would collect tariffs for Brussels - would also mean extra checks and bureaucracy.
Sources close to the company say they have been making the case to ministers for months that any change that causes hold-ups will seriously disrupt businesses on both sides of the Channel that rely on the assumption that goods can be delivered quickly and on time.
John Keefe, Eurotunnel’s director of public affairs, said both options would cause delays and mean additional costs. “Eurotunnel transports 1.6 million trucks, carrying £120bn worth of goods across the Channel each year,” he said.
“Those goods feed industry, retail, and consumers and are delivered just in time, just in sequence and just when we need them. Additional checks at the border would delay the speed and frequency of delivery, result in wastage and lost production, and add to costs for consumers.”
He added that technology to prevent delays already existed, but said nothing could be planned or built until the UK and EU had decided on their future trading arrangements. Only then could precise specifications for checking goods be determined, equipment built, staff trained, and people educated about the new situation.
They’re going to blow up the British economy and they think it’s a benefit? It’ll be a mess - no one actually is saying this will result in economic growth.

Of Trump’s 29 confirmed appellate court judges, only 12 have received more than 60 votes in the Senate. Only 2 have been unanimously confirmed (90-0 and 91-0, a third was confirmed 95-1). Only one of Obama’s nominees got less than 60 votes; four were confirmed by unanimous consent, one by voice vote, and several with unanimous votes. Only 1 of Bush’s nominees got less than 60 votes, and only one other got less than 85 votes. Of Clinton’s vote, only two didn’t pass on a voice vote - and they both received over 60 votes.
Those numbers are rather staggering.

Of Trump’s 29 confirmed appellate court judges, only 12 have received more than 60 votes in the Senate. Only 2 have been unanimously confirmed (90-0 and 91-0, a third was confirmed 95-1). Only one of Obama’s nominees got less than 60 votes; four were confirmed by unanimous consent, one by voice vote, and several with unanimous votes. Only 1 of Bush’s nominees got less than 60 votes, and only one other got less than 85 votes. Of Clinton’s vote, only two didn’t pass on a voice vote - and they both received over 60 votes.
Those numbers are rather staggering.

Their picks get worse and more extreme.
re: #45 Hecuba’s daughter
How can they write a counter report if there isn’t a report? Maybe the counter report is based on the questions that Mueller gave Trump with 1 to 2 pages per question. So the report would consist now of the question + Trump’s response + (possibly) the reason for rejecting the question. That could easily reach 87 pages.
as i said last thread, maybe mueller’s report just says:
“see the following list of indictments, sentencing memos, court memoranda, etc.”

Oh my! Cohen is getting the woodshed treatment!

Sounds like Cohen is in a world of hurt. It appears they do not think “Says Who” said much that was truthful to them and they are not going to go easy on him.
Looks like a big document too.

President Trump caught the defense world off guard Friday when he said that he will make an announcement regarding the Joint Chiefs of Staff during this weekend’s Army-Navy football game.
While making a series of major personnel announcements on the White House lawn, including new picks for attorney general and United Nations ambassador, Trump cryptically told reporters that “I have another one for tomorrow.”
“I’m going to be announcing at the Army-Navy game. I can give you a little hint: It will have to do with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and succession,” he said.

Definitely was wrong lumping Johnny in with Hogan and Baker. I just don’t think Mitt would be any better than Kasich.

But what would be different about him than Mitt? I think we’ve forgotten how far right Mitt is willing to go to appease the right wing agenda.
cmon folks not gonna happen
mitt only gets in the room if
- he’s nominated speaker and somehow pence and trump go ‘simultaneously’ - has never happened and they’d prob time it to avoid the disaster
- pence is booted and trump nominates mitt, he’s confirmed, and then trump leaves (G. Ford).
- not gonna happen. look who trump just nominated for un amb. he’ll nominate lots of others (from fox) or no one at all. and if congress doesnt confirm the post is left vacant…
no. something else is going to play out.
Trump’s punishment? Actually have to mine coal on a early 20th century miners salary without union benefits and the environmental protection laws he hates.

No, I think the premise here is Pence gets booted and replaced with Mitt. I agree though. I think our best case scenario is a much weakened Pence takes over as caretaker and then it’s open war in 2020 in the GOP for Trump’s successor. Realistic case I see is impeachment but without a Senate conviction.
Freepers can’t tell the SDNY from the Mueller investigation. They cite an article from The Hill talking about the SDNY’s revelations and title it “Mueller recommends ‘substantial prison time’ for ex-Trump lawyer Cohen.” No one notices the difference.

Fascinating anecdote from Michael Cohen’s sentencing memo. After working as a lawyer for 15 yrs he was earning 75K/year.
