trump administration

General thread. To kick off, a list of appointees to key positions, notable for their loyalty to Trump. https://apnews.com/article/243d73610b03a3ee18c4d5f68756af7c

Thread continued from here. As is usual the split point is arbitrary and participants are free to address points made in previous editions of the thread. Trump attacks Benjamin Netanyahu for not supporting him after the election, after everything he did for him. "I paid him off. I...

This is a continuation from here. Feel free to quote posts in the old thread. Thanks. "Religious" covers a lot of ground. You can have faith in a Supreme Being and live according to your faith's core principles without giving up reason and judgment. The evangelicals are a small subset of...

No, seriously. The Trump DoJ under William Barr, used a Federal Grand Jury to obtain a subpoena for Twitter's records in an attempt to force them to reveal the identity of a number of Twitter accounts that trolled US Rep. Devin Nunes...

It's not that interesting. Any staff, including military officers (like the one carrying the "football"), who would not remain with an ex-president would either go home on the former Air Force One or other military aircraft as soon as Biden is sworn in. If Trump decides to be such a pissy loser...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/20/politics/bannon-build-the-wall-indictment/index.html Indicted for fraud. Seems he and others created a "We Build the Wall" fundraising campaign, but didn't use the money for building the wall. I wonder if there is also a "We Drain the Swamp" organization.

President Trump doesn't need 51%, he just needs around 45% of the votes that people are able to, or are willing to, cast. Even if "only" 40% of people approve of him, if turnout among that 40% is significantly higher than it is among the electorate in general then he can easily get 45% of the...

Hmmmmm. I'm pretty sure that I always call out the Daily Mail as a poor source, regardless of whether I support the message in their coverage (which isn't often). If I haven't, then I apologise and will make the following statement: I hope that clears things up for you. edited to add..... If...

For those unfamiliar with the reference, the "Saturday Night Massacre" was when two of Richard Nixon's attorneys-general resigned rather than carry out his inappropriate orders to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Today in DC, US Attorneys are apparently withdrawing and resigning over...

Again, why does Moscow Mitch have so much power if Republicans disagree with him? Or are they just paying lip service to the idea of a fair process? Thread continued from here.

I don't know why Republicans pretend to care about the homeless, homelessness is a part of the "free market" capitalism model. In fact, it shows that capitalism is working as it should, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Continued from this thread. You may reply to or quote any...

Again: what are they going to do? Send in the S-A-A to arrest Trump? He'll have the Secret Service throw him out. That's the 'weakness' of the rule of law: it seems that is requires liberal amounts of forebearance, and if you have people in government who just don't play by the rules of the...

Apparently the same anonymous "senior White House official" who wrote the op-ed piece a while ago is about to release a whole book. Judging by their earlier writing, and the quotes from the book cited in the link above, the author, a conservative who seemed to intiailly be enthusiastic about...

There is no transcript for such phone calls because they are not recorded. This has been policy since 1974. (I've read a lot of articles recently and can't point immediately to my source on this, but I believe it was a Post article I read this morning.) This memo, presuming it has not been...

This is a continuation from Part 15, which has been closed for length. Posts from previous parts may be freely quoted here. Also, The Loss Leader is BACK (limitations apply). It's pretty obvious to me why Trump is taking a sudden interest in Greenland... The Arctic is melting, opening up a...

https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1154820023631962113 I thought it was probably worth this having its own thread for related news, updates, discussion, etc. as it's not wholly related to any other thread and will likely be ongoing for quite a while.
