Zinke had multiple birthers on his radio show throughout the years and even went on a birther show himself as recently as 2016.

Nikki Haley not happy. At what point will the huge conflict of interest Trump has with Russia get hammered upon? Eric said they get all the financing they need from Russia. Piss Putin off, Trump Organization goes belly up.

Trump?€™s company is suing towns across the country to get breaks on taxes ?€” 'Trump, Inc.' podcast

 

No conflict of interest here!

 

President Donald Trump is famous for bragging about his net worth. Publicly, he claims he's worth more than $10 billion. He even sued an author over the issue and lobbied the editors of Forbes about his ranking on their billionaires list.

 

Yet quietly in another setting, the Trump Organization says the president's holdings are worth far less than he has proclaimed. Across the country, the Trump Organization is suing local governments, claiming it owes much less in property taxes than government assessors say because its properties are worth much less than they've been valued at. In just one example, the company has asserted that its gleaming waterfront skyscraper in Chicago is worth less than than its assessed value, in part because its retail space is failing and worth less than nothing.

 

Since becoming president, Trump's companies have filed at least nine new lawsuits against municipalities in Florida, New York and Illinois, arguing for lower tax bills, ProPublica has found. Some of those lawsuits have been previously reported. At stake is millions of dollars that communities use to fund roads, schools and police departments.

There is a Revolution going on in California. Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!

 

It’s almost like he’s talking about an outbreak of the Bubonic plague and not human beings...how about the breeding of Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Barron through our immigration process, leading to even more grandchildren (aka American citizens )?

 

7 total grandkids.

So weird that Trump gets super angry whenever we have to do anything negative towards Russia at all and is once again undercutting any sanctions against them.

The reason is so obvious, and it gets no play.

Some good news about the new director at NASA, just confirmed today on a straight party line vote:

 

 

Rep. James Bridenstine (R-Okla.) is a former Navy pilot with virtually no management experience in any large organization. But the Oklahoma Republican has been tapped by President Donald Trump to take over the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a federal agency with a budget of $18.5 billion, 18,000 federal workers, and over 60,000 contract employees.

 

In an 2017 email exchange between Gingrich and NASA consultant Charles Miller—which was obtained by POGO but first reported by Politico—Miller told Gingrich: “Assuming we get Bridenstine for Admin (fingers crossed), we are going to need a NASA Deputy Administrator that has Bridenstine’s back, and who has skills/strengths that offsets Bridenstine’s weaknesses.”

 

Miller wrote that Bridenstine does not have “significant knowledge and experience with how NASA works” or “Deep technical knowledge in aerospace systems.”

 

“Bridenstine has little” of either, Miller wrote.

 

he's a fervent global warming denialist though, so I'm sure he'll do plenty of damage to the important climate science work NASA does.

"Breeding Concept" is a straight up white supremacy talking point.

Frankly, I think the reaction of almost everyone at NASA has been "They could have done a lot worse so let's just breathe a sigh of relief that climate denial is all we have to deal with".

I assumed that everyone was already quite familiar with Trump's peculiar/random capitalization pattern...

So Trump is tweeting Cohen will never flip on him. Isn’t that implying some guilt?

He's flat out admitted to obstruction of justice on twitter.

Stormy's lawyer now suing for defamation. If they decide that his tweets count as defamation, people should anticipate a cosmic avalanche of lawsuits that will descend upon him.

Yes.  But also that slimeball is going to flip really easily.  I dont think he wants jail time for a guy that barely pays him.

So how does Trump benefit by not acknowledging the Waffle House shooter or hero? Is his base really as bad as Dems want to paint it out to be?

Big businesses known as C corporations will enjoy a 40% reduction in the corporate tax rate, from 35% to 21%. Yahoo Finance and many other news outlets have reported extensively on what big companies are likely to do with the tax savings, with many buying back shares or raising dividends. Some companies, such as Apple, have committed to new investments. And dozens of companies have given employees one-time bonuses.

The JCT research provides new insight on how the tax cuts will benefit smaller businesses. The effective tax rate for sole proprietorships—which account for about 73% of all businesses—will drop from 24.7% to 19.8%, according to the JCT. That’s a hefty 4.9 percentage points, a bigger decline than most individuals will see, since the effective tax rate for individuals is expected to fall from 29.1% in 2017 to 26.7% for 2018, or 2.4 percentage points.

Most privately owned businesses will benefit from the tax cuts, but those owned by the wealthy will benefit the most. The JCT found that 44% of the net benefit of a new tax break for privately owned businesses will accrue to individuals with incomes of $1 million or more, while just 7.5% of the net gain will accrue to individuals with incomes of $100,000 or less.

That skew is both deliberate and problematic. Slashing business taxes is supposed to leave companies with more money to invest in workers and facilities, and wealthier business owners obviously have more income to tax. But there’s no guarantee businesses will invest the windfall in ways that help ordinary people, and many Americans feel the tax cuts favor the wealthy over the working and middle class. If businesses really do amp up spending and hiring, maybe skeptical voters will start to feel they’re getting a bigger share of the tax cuts. But we’re still waiting for convincing signs of that.

“Democrats are obstructing good (hopefully great) people wanting to give up a big portion of their life to work for our Government, hence, the American People. They are “slow walking” all of my nominations - hundreds of people. At this rate it would take 9 years for all approvals!”

 

Thanks, Donald...glad you didn’t notice what happened to Merrick Garland or praise the Waffle House hero, either.  That Ronny Jackson seemed like he would have been the best of the best, should have been voice approved without any objections.

He called Nazis marching in Charlottesville who murdered a protester "very fine people" and tried to blame "both sides." He still enjoys ~40% support.

So you tell me if he and his base are really that bad.
