Trump's Policies XI

Well... I think GW is a good hearted person... But I do feel his Father's influence was at work there...

Yes, he was a legacy admission - but he wasn't half as dumb as people liked to think at the time, either.

He just never had the polish of his immediate predecessor (or the sex addiction but that's another issue altogether).

I guess my thing is......I've just never been impressed with the "book smart" argument and its evil twin "what college you attended," which may be why I don't see this as a particularly compelling argument on Vance.

I also think Vance is a lousy version of an attempt to be a cross between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. What I mean is this: Clinton was pretty slick (hence the nickname Slick Willie) at positioning himself verbally on many issues where it sounded like he agreed with every single person. Vance is trying the "be everything to everyone" strategy - but mixed with Trump's "fake tough guy" persona offset by the fact Vance actually was in the Marine Corps and has thus compromised virtually every professed value he had.

Besides, being impressed by the Ivy League education should have ended with the current President.

Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."


Matthew 6:5: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

This is the part where he takes the Bible out into the crowd and holds it up again, right?


Evangelicalism sold its soul for a cheap date with an adulterating casino owner.

Trump Organization trademark raises suspicions that family could profit from Florida airport name change​

Of course he is; this has been true for decades upon decades. He has been trademarking his name since the 80s and licensing it to different organizations and properties. See, this is how he makes most of his money, not through true real estate deals. Most of "his" buildings are not ones he owns or built; they just license the use of his name.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets prison sentence for possessing 'enormous child pornography collection'​

Daniel Tocci's attorney had previously argued that the case should be dismissed because “all the evidence" stemmed from his Capitol siege case.

This reminds me of the movie "Trapped in Paradise":

"they didn't have any evidence except our fingerprints at the scene."

Judge rules Trump order eliminating NPR, PBS funding unconstitutional


Trump’s order violated the First Amendment rights of the public media giants, a federal judge in Washington found.
First amendment issue? Nonsense. I think the bigger issue is that I don't see how the Executive can withhold funding passed by the Legislative branch (unless I'm missing something.)

EDIT: after doing some digging, it's clear that congress also pulled their funding, so never mind. Goodbye and good riddance.

OK, but when he doesn’t stop, are you going to do anything about it?
Nope. The delicate balance between chaos and order seems to rely heavily on the unfounded belief that most court decisions can be forcibly upheld. They can't unless you want things to get really messy. It is imperative that Joe Six-Pack never, ever believe otherwise or the whole system could collapse overnight.

fat load of good it does now. for his entire miserable life, this fool just breaks crap and suffers no consequences and his apologists and base think it's decisive and manly
 

Gregg Phillips, who holds one of the most consequential jobs at FEMA overseeing disaster response, is doubling down on claims he teleported to a Waffle House and a church — writing "haters gonna hate" on Truth Social and citing biblical accounts on teleportation.

Pretty sure I have teleported before. I have rucked and my watch says only 4 miles when I know the distance is more, so obviously I teleported the missing half mile.
