Man campaigns on racist agenda and a plan to subvert both America's foreign interests and the push for global democracy in favor of helping Vladimir Putin. Most of America says they don't want those things when they vote. "Why won't you guys just let him do what he campaigned on?"
The manner in which Comey was fired is what was relevant to this conversation. I thought huge tax cuts for the wealthy, an admin riddled with corruption and federal investigations, and proposing to drastically cut Medicare/aid were what he ran on. No?
love this woman. And fuck Tucker Carlson. https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...8e748f892c0_story.html?utm_term=.5a57a110cbbb When Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson declared that the United States shouldn’t accept immigrants from “failing countries,” Mendelsohn dug up a narrative written by his great-great-grandfather, who said he’d left Switzerland because his prospects there were so limited. King and Carlson never responded to her findings. Neither did Lahren or Miller. When The Washington Post reached out to all of them for comment, only Carlson called back: "The United States is a completely different country now,” he said. “The idea that [having] a relative who came 150 years ago means I have to have a specific view on immigration? It’s so dumb it’s hard to believe you have to respond to it.” He continued: “There’s only one question that matters: what’s good for the country in 2018?”
Build that wall! Less regulations! Lower taxes! Conservative supreme court justices! Repeal and Replace Obamacare Horrible trade deals! Treat Israel right again Stop coddling Iran and North Korea Those are the issues i remember him campaigning on.
And how many of those has he actually accomplished anything on? Lowering taxes is the only one, and he fucked over a lot more people to accomplish that.
Yea, repeal and replace obamacare didn't get done. His presidency is not over yet. We still have 2.5 years to go until his re-election. The rest of it though ..... gettin shit done
"I'm very confident that when the history of this era is written, it will reflect that the department was operated with integrity," Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said. | Win McNamee/Getty Images Rosenstein defends Mueller: 'The special counsel is not an unguided missile' Spoiler By LOUIS NELSON 03/13/2018 07:15 AM EDT Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the Justice Department official overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, said Monday that criticism of Mueller’s investigation from President Donald Trump and his allies is unwarranted. "The special counsel is not an unguided missile," Rosenstein told USA Today in an interview published Monday evening, estimating that he spends less than 5 percent of his week on issues related to Mueller’s probe. "I don't believe there is any justification at this point for terminating the special counsel." Rosenstein did not mention Trump by name in his discussion of the widespread criticism of Mueller, although the president has led the charge in attacking the special counsel’s investigation, characterizing it often as a witch hunt initiated by Democrats embarrassed by the 2016 loss of Hillary Clinton. Last June, Trump ordered that Mueller be fired but was talked out of the decision by White House counsel Don McGahn. The deputy attorney general said much of the work his department does is not covered by the media and is not criticized, even amid a culture of skepticism surrounding the department stirred by, among other issues, the FBI’s handling of the investigation into Clinton’s use of a personal email server as secretary of state, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s airport meeting with Bill Clinton in the closing days of that investigation and a memo from House Republicans alleging misuse of the FISA court system by the Justice Department in relation to the Russia investigation. "I believe much of the criticism will fall by the wayside when people reflect on this era and the Department of Justice," said Rosenstein, who did not refer to Trump directly. "I'm very confident that when the history of this era is written, it will reflect that the department was operated with integrity." Rosenstein, who took oversight of the Russia probe in the spring of 2017 after Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from all investigations related to the 2016 election, drew the ire of Trump by appointing Mueller in the wake of the firing of then-FBI Director James Comey. Trump has been coy when asked whether Rosenstein enjoyed his full confidence, telling reporters in February, “you figure that one out.” "I feel very confident in my ability to do the job," Rosenstein said. "In any political job, you recognize that your time is going to be limited. My goal is to get as much done for as long as I'm here in the job.“

Tom Cotton was supposed to be CIA director. He isn’t — and that’s trouble for Trump. When you’re so unpopular you can’t recruit your top ally in Congress. By Dylan Scott@dylanlscott[email protected] Mar 13, 2018, 12:40pm EDT Spoiler Share President Donald Trump with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). Zach Gibson/Pool/Getty Images There was something off about President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday. Back in the fall, the line of succession was supposed to look like this: The Trump White House already had a plan to replace Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and to replace Pompeo with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) Cotton was Trump’s “favorite” to take over the intelligence agency, per the New York Times If asked to serve, Cotton “does his duty when the country calls,” a friend of his told Axios. But on Tuesday, when the president finally decided to fire Tillerson, it didn’t go quite according to plan. Pompeo was indeed elevated to the State Department — but Cotton was left in the Senate. Instead, Gina Haspel was instead named as Trump’s new CIA director. She will be, notably, the first woman nominated to the post and is a seasoned spy who briefly oversaw a torture black site in Thailand during the George W. Bush years, per CBS News. So what happened? It depends on whom you ask. But the inescapable lesson is: Trump’s administration has become so radioactive that the president can’t bring in one of his party’s most promising stars, one of his closest allies in the Republican establishment, to take such a prominent post. The White House is in the midst of a scary staffing crisis, shedding officials who have mustered at least some experience running the federal government and failing to attract top talent to replace them. Cotton, whatever the reason for his being skipped over for the CIA directorship, is just the latest example of how the poisonous environs created by Trump is undermining his ability to build his own administration. Why Gina Haspel is CIA director instead of Tom Cotton There are at least three different theories out there to explain why Trump decided to tap Haspel to lead the CIA instead of Cotton. They aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive either; it could have been a combination of the following: The White House didn’t want to open up Cotton’s Arkansas Senate seat after the GOP’s shocking loss in the Alabama Senate race and other special elections. Cotton started to find the job less attractive given the possibility that Trump, a historically unpopular president, could lose in 2020. With Cotton looking ahead to his own presidential campaign someday, staying in the Senate is a better platform for building and keeping a national profile than leading a covert intelligence agency. However you look at it, the first two theories tell the same story: The national political environment is so unfavorable to Republicans that the White House had real fears that they could lose a Senate seat in Arkansas (a state Trump won by 27 points in 2016). And Cotton, as fervent a Trump true believer as you will find in the United State Congress, is harboring real doubts that his president can win again in 2020. Why it’s important that Cotton was passed over The craziest part is neither of those lines of thinking is illogical. In December, Republicans lost an open Senate seat — one that Trump had also opened up by picking Jeff Sessions to be his attorney general — in Alabama, where Trump had beaten Clinton by an even bigger margin than he did in Arkansas. Sure, that might have been in part because the GOP nominee was a credibly accused child predator, but the Republican establishment has proven pretty bad at getting its preferred nominee elected in primaries. It was apparently too big a risk. On Cotton’s end, looking ahead to 2020 and his own presidential ambitions, he should absolutely be wary of attaching himself too tightly to Donald Trump. This is a president who, at the end of his first year in the White House, had the lowest approval rating ever even as the economy continued to perform relatively well. That is quite a feat, given how tightly the economy and presidential approval ratings are usually linked. Javier Zarracina/Vox It is certainly true that the Senate probably is a better launching pad for a presidential campaign whenever Cotton decides to run — George H.W. Bush is the only CIA director to reach the White House. But that was already true back in October and November when the Cotton-to-CIA hype was its hottest and his friends were telling Axios that he would serve if called. Something changed. The simplest explanation is that Trump’s political standing, even within his own party, has eroded to such a degree that the Arkansas Senate seat could be in jeopardy and Cotton now doubts the president’s reelection viability. In Langley, maybe this doesn’t matter much. Haspel is certainly qualified, from a resume point of view, and seems to share Cotton’s comfort with torture. But the strange case of Tom Cotton and the CIA is emblematic of Trump’s struggle to attract, as he loves to say, the best people. It is a fierce ouroboros: Trump’s incompetence feeds his struggle to recruit his preferred candidates. Given the trajectory of his presidency, it is probably only going to get worse.
Wonderful. Please shit your pants until Novemebr. It'll be a brutal 6 more months but it's just going to make the Global Wamring rise of the Blue Wave even more destructive
