New sanctions on Russia. Trump ain't gonna be happy...
 
Russia sanctions bill passes the House 419-3 . I'm willing to bet Rohrbacher was one of the three.

It really is no surprise Tillerson is stepping back. With these sanctions he can't do any of what he was planted to do.
 
He's likely to be a lot smarter than Trump, right? He's getting out now before it gets really hairy.

Yep, he'll slip off quietly and be back in his role at Exxon by Christmas.

What sort of SOS takes "time out" after barely 6 months in the job? Imagine it was Hillary :lol:
 
I must admit I don't understand the love affair so many people have with Rachel Maddow. I've tried to watch her show several times and it's like being lectured for an hour by an over enthusiastic politics student.

I think many feel the same way. Many Americans who I see eye to eye with on political issues are on board with her delivery though.

It irks me. I simply can't watch all of the posturing nonsense she goes through. The waving of the pen, leaning back, the 'lemme tell ya about that' kind of condescending delivery.

I wish I could find someone that watches her segments and writes out the issues very well. Her researchers are clearly good, the stories are packaged well. But that performance destroys me.
 
As for McCain, its just cruel and heartless that he voted for this.

I can't find it now, but there was an article where a women wrote to McCain to extend insurance for her ailing husband. He wrote back stating she should consider a move out of Arizona.

Won't get better. Rumours are Nikki Haley is already being considered for the post. She's doing a stellar job at the UN, working on 4th July and all that and deserves a promotion.
 
I wonder if Sessions has anything on Trump or whether he will be unable to reveal it without incriminating himself.
 
It won't matter. He can probably pay the bill or get voters to donate or something.
Don't worry, they've secured good healthcare for themselves - they just don't want their voters to have it.
 
Lol piss off the Attorney General AND the entire intel community. That'll help you

Yup. He looks really old in that picture too, and quite strained. Hopefully it's taking his toll on him. I just hope he has upset the intel community so much that they work tirelessly on digging up anything that can bring him down and completely destroy him.

I've said this on Facebook... everyone keeps trying to find historical comparisons to Nixon, but I think folks should start looking at the Warren G. Harding administration for comparisons to Trump.

His "Ohio Gang" of close friends that he put into advisory positions around him brought on scandal after scandal until it culminated in the "Teapot Dome Scandal" and revelations of extramarital affairs, the stress of which likely led to his death.

I'm sticking with ole' Wilhelm II, a dumbass who thought he was untouchable and destroyed all his family handed him on a silver platter.

A climax is coming. This Sessions stuff is only happening because Trump had no power to fire Mueller because of Sessions' recusal.

He wants Sessions out, a yes man in (it'll be Rudy G) and then he will sack Mueller who is getting close to his finances.

Mueller will then be instantly picked up by Schiff and co and be a Congressionally appointed special counsel that Trump has zero power over.

I don't care how twisted and partisan the Republicans are, if Trump sacks Sessions to hire an AG that can sack Mueller to end the investigation, they will have to take action. That's two sets of obstruction.

What possible excuse could he give for firing Mueller? He's as bipartisan and respected as they come.

At least we can remember his tenure for that one great song.
 
To be fair, reading now about Warren G, there's an awful lot of parallels between him and Trump, down to minutiae of their behaviour in the presidency.

Edit: oops, just read his views in relation to segregation and immigrants. No common ground there.

A very applicable foreign comparison, to be fair.

Very apt. Randomly being robbed while trying to go about your evening... the story of the GOP
 
Also.. VERY OT but I'm at the lake and I just saw on my news updates that the shopping center 1 mile from my house has been evacuated due to a bomb threat.

@Carolina Red The scandal of Nixon, the sleaziness and vulgarity of Warren G and the incompetence of Buchanan.

Trump's definitely going to be remembered as the new worst. Through the prism of time, his utter lack of achievement combined with his crassness and lack of respect for the demands of the office, in every facet of it, will be undisputable.

He's also one of the first major historical figures to exits in the mass communication era. There's going to be millions of hours of footage from every angle of his ugly face saying stupid shit.
 

Eek.

Collins and Reed said:
“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”

“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”

“I’m worried,” Collins replies.

Well lack of achievement is still better than something extremely bad. I think from a historical perspective it's hard to top Buchanan.

We have a way to go yet, he's top 3 worst for sure though.
 
I'm going to design a new range of T-shirts.

"I was President and managed to not blow up the world" I will send that to Trump.

"I survived a Trump Presidency and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" For when he finally leaves office.

"I don't care about your healthcare" For Republicans.

"I think you're a cnut but still deserve free healthcare" For the Dems.

Sorted.

Sorry, but major historical figure? First? In the age of the first black president, Merkel, the eternal chancellor, Assad, the major player in the conflict pretty much defining our decade? You overestimate his importance. Yes, he will be remembered. Bot not more than those I've mentioned and tons of others I've forgot.

Whether we like it or not, his infamy will live with the ages.

The US elected clowns before. They never elected an unabashed one, till now.

If we are being honest, so far, Trump has been far dumber, but not actually worse than Bush.

Him basically being a lame duck already with zero influence has killed a lot of my worries, while I still despise him as a person.
