Traitor Trump (R - Criminal) getting a “Perp Walk!” I could die happy!
Relax; I’m not Trump. I don’t just start kissing unwilling participants.
And that was truly a classic line – I’ve stolen it without shame.
This is relevant to the discussion of Trump’s returns, and the acquiring of:
The current president’s penchant for secrecy surrounding his finances is well documented. As many Americans probably know, for example, Trump was the first major-party presidential nominee since Watergate to refuse to disclose any of his tax returns.
It’s against this backdrop that Trump tapped Charles Rettig to oversee the IRS – the same Charles Rettig who wrote a piece for Forbes in 2016 arguing that Trump shouldn’t disclose his tax returns. (The IRS commissioner also, incidentally, owns a unit in a Trump building.)
He then nominated Desmond to be the IRS’s chief counsel, and as the Times’ report added, there are some notable connections between the nominee and the president, too.
With this background in mind, it’s of interest that the president urged Senate Republican leaders to prioritize Desmond’s nomination – with the White House seeing it as even more important than Bill Barr’s.
Desmond, confirmed to his post six weeks ago, will very likely play a direct role in dealing with congressional efforts to access the president’s returns.
Some might wonder whether Trump, well aware of Democrats’ interest in his secret tax materials, took a special interest in Desmond’s nomination because he’s concerned about the IRS’s future decisions that will affect the president directly.

I use to wonder what it would take for the Republicans to turn on Trump, what is the straw that would break that camel’s back, but I finally realized that the spineless have no back to break.

If he ever stopped being a rubber stamp for McConnell, Republicans would turn on him faster that Cohen did.

Well, duh. He’ll be exposed as not the bestest bestest. Can’t have the rubes see that, afterr all.

America is full?
Mandatory abortions it is, then.
When Hell is full, the dead shall walk the Earth.
Could be worse.

The followup to that is even more worrisome, that falsehood was indeed used as a factor to then justify Lebensraum.

Trump Goofs Again: Rips Nonexistent ‘Judge Flores’ For Case Of Teen Migrant Jenny Flores
Donald Trump messed up again Friday in comments at a news conference scolding “Judge Flores” for a ruling on immigrant minors the president called “a disaster.” There was no such judge in the case — it involved a teenage immigrant named Flores.
The error was the latest in a mounting string of mistakes the president has made in the last four weeks that are raising concerns about his mental health.
Find yourself in Oregon, we’ll do the pepperoni pizza.
Thanks!
