The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 233 - Politics and Economics

Lol, what even is the point of this stunt? It clearly never passes the house, and it’s not like it’s going to get their base of white working class voters all jazzed up...

I read it as a shot across the bow at AOC and Warren's tax ideas. "What's that? You want to tax the top earners at 70% or institute a wealth tax? Not only are we never letting that happen, we're going to repeal the estate tax, too!"

Re: Whitaker's comments today

I think people may be focusing on the wrong comment. The timing thing is whatever, but what really struck me was when he said this, completely unprompted:

Uh... what decisions? What in the world is he talking about here? I don't know the answer, but I still have an ominous feeling about this dude.

One disturbing possibility that I haven't seen anyone mention: at the end of the investigation, the AG is required to explain to congress any instances in which the AG overruled the special counsel. Perhaps it could be that?

Whitaker has the face of someone wondering why he fought and groveled for the job he has.

I say this fully expecting to get trashed, but it needs to be said. I'm tired of seeing these people driving around celebrating and proudly displaying their old country's flag, and refusing to assimilate. THIS IS AMERICA, YOU CAN LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

I'm referring, of course, to my redneck, Confederate-flag waving neighbors.

Alternatively is their scientific evidence for more extreme colds in the Winter for global warming despite temperatures rising or is it just variance?

Not sure if serious. The reason the name has been changed from Global Warming to Climate Change is because the overall warmer temperatures (specifically and importantly, in the oceans) are causing more drastic weather conditions, including more severe summers and winters.

As Sanctions Lift, Russian Oligarch’s Company Adds Trump Transition Member To Its Board

As part of the deal to lift the sanctions in what was stated to be an effort to dilute Deripaska’s control, EN+, the parent of his aluminum company Rusal, announced seven new directors, four of them American or British. They include former Deutsche Bank executive Christopher Bancroft Burnham, who served on Trump’s State Department transition team.
