So far as I have been able to determine, about half of the people who Trump worked with on his various building plans over the years are either felons or have been credibly accused of committing felonies. (It’s very tedious to research, but I’m slowly building a list.)
It’s safe to say that he has an eye for a certain type of person. The odds were pretty good.
Individual-1 complains that he is being treated unfairly: they never investigated Obama, not even when Republicans had control of Congress, so, why am I being picked on?
When asked for specifics on Obama’s malfeasance, Individual-1 fumbles around for a bit before finally coming up with: he wrote a book.
Actually, I have some grudging respect for the orange one. I wouldn’t have expected him to have the mental agility to pivot so cleverly away from the real reason: he has read a book. Maybe even more than one!!!11!!1!
Should I just go ahead and assume that the Republicans will reverse course without shame when a Democratic president in the future takes advantages of any of the newly identified powers and precedents set by this president?
My concern is that they are opening all this up because they know that there will not be another democrat in the white house once they have secured our elections from tampering by the citizens trying to vote.
Yes. That fact is probably very comforting for the poor living in the rat-infested neighborhoods of Baltimore. Perhaps it should be added to the obituaries of those murdered every week so everyone will feel better.
Apart from the racist undertones, there’s something I thought was interesting about Trump’s attack on Cummings. Trump said Cummings should spend more time addressing the problems of people in his district. As the President, does Trump not realize that Baltimore is also part of his district?
I think it’s significant that the President could wash his hands of an entire American city, say that the problems of hundreds of thousands of Americans are no concern of his, an no one bats an eye.
I know a lot of people don’t put much stock into what Daily Kos publishes, but putting aside their partisan slant, they tend to rely on facts far more than any right wing “news” outlet. I find the assessment offered by the link below to be especially chilling:
