In the normal world we used to inhabit, wouldn’t that be deemed ‘prejudicing the outcome’?

I suppose the irony of this is lost in the bragging.

I would truly love to be a fly on the wall inside the WH. It must be fascinating.

That's why I'm so thankful for Twitter (and his insistence on using it) this time around.

I first read that as "prejuicing the outcome".

Probably around the same time that Trump will be recognised as the bestestess ever president.

I'm not holding my breath.

Pretty much.

Any fiscal conservatives here?
Because there sure aren't any in government.

The drunk teenagers in charge of the country are quickly stealing all the money before the adults get back after the Midterms.

Seriously, this is theft, plain and simply.

Hopefully, there are still four grownup Republicans in the Senate.

Yeah, this is some crazy orgy of looting the country while the getting's good.

The Senate won't even address it. This is sitting GOP House members trying to wave the Flag of Good Intentions back in the hustings. The minority should introduce a Free Ponies Bill which will also not see the light of day. When the incumbent brings up that he/she tried to give them more tax cuts but were blocked, the Dems can counter with "It was a Republican Senate that blocked those tax cuts, just as they blocked the National Pony Plan we proposed."

 

[The Great Zaganza]

given how unpopular the last tax cut was, do Republicans really think they can score points with voters by tripling the amount?

They do, because it's good for the stock market (for now), so it can be used to claim that "the economy" is doing great.

Emoluments lawsuit

I'd have put this in the general Trump thread, but it appears to have been locked after the split, for some reason. Anyway, Emoluments lawsuit moving ahead after approval by a federal judge

The first such case in US history.

BREAKING: North Korea says it will never disarm nuclear weapons first without more trust in US.​

NO-BEL! NO-BEL! The art of deal at work.

Lunchbox can't have missed that Trump walked away from the Iranian nuclear deal. He could be excused for wondering what value any agreement with the US has.

The Creepy Porn President's administration is shifting their position on global warming from denialism to fatalism.

Last month, deep in a 500-page environmental impact statement, the Trump administration made a startling assumption: On its current course, the planet will warm a disastrous seven degrees by the end of this century.

A rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit, or about four degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.

But the administration did not offer this dire forecast, premised on the idea that the world will fail to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, as part of an argument to combat climate change. Just the opposite: The analysis assumes the planet’s fate is already sealed.

That's better position, I think.

They are stealing the Libertarian Party's environmental policy:

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, takes what he calls the “long-term view” of climate change. “In billions of years,” he said in 2011, “the sun is going to actually grow and encompass the Earth, right? So global warming is in our future.”

That's just lunacy.
I'd suggest he discuss it with the EPA's Science Advisory Board... but it turns out, as of this week, we don't have one of those anymore.

Nah. The first six investigations were, far as I know, normal background checks that had nothing to do with any unusual allegations about Kavanaugh. The seventh is a bit unusual.

Business as usual of late. There is no significant presence of fiscally conservative voice in Congress. The only money they seek to cut is that of the opposition's prime concerns.
