The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Harm to Ongoing Matter - Page 552 - Politics and Economics

LOL Mnuchin you weirdo spaz. It's refreshing to see these kind of entitled ****s being forced to simply do what other people are required to do; of course he gets pissed off. The way he's jerking around there it looks like the excitement has finally awakened the gigantic, parasitic pupa that's been subsisting on his innards and has decided to emerge.

Let's replay Steve Mnuchin's life. Instead of the son of a Wall Street ghoul, he had the childhood of, say, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

His wife is arguably even worse.

At about 1:02 in when Mnuchin says "You're instructing me, you are ordering me to stay here" he does this bird-like head bob where I though he was going to barf up some kind of foot-long, afterbirth-covered shrimp/man combo with chittering mouth parts and maladriot neonatal movements.

but the trick is, it's like a schrödinger's box. trump is whichever president you want him to be on this issue, as long as you never check.

This is the single best two sentence summary of the trump presidency I have ever read.

He probably does have quote unquote important meetings to attend and I imagine testifying in front of Congress probably does feel like an unnecessary burden where Congress critters get to grandstand

But lol at getting owned by the passive aggressive arguments wealthy people employ all the time.

"You can leave any time. (threat implied)"

"oh you're forcing me to stay (because of the implied threat)"

"I never forced you to do anything, you're free to leave anytime"

It really sucks to be on the side that has to say "well you have a right to say that" when the other side is saying they'd throw every one of their enemies in gitmo if they could. The comments are just ugh.

Why are these people allowed to be under oath and refuse to answer questions to congress?

Is this not illegal?

5th amendment. So they don't have to answer. They don't even get punished for lying anyway.

But we're in the child bully era so it's always going to be a giant finger from any R to any D at this point.

I don't think anyone posted about the reason for Trump's tweets about Omar earlier, which is a shame, because it's great:

GOP furious after Ilhan Omar calls Stephen Miller a white nationalist

Quote:

“Stephen Miller is a white nationalist,” she tweeted Monday afternoon. “The fact that he still has influence on policy and political appointments is an outrage.” But because Miller, Trump’s senior policy adviser, is Jewish, Omar’s fervent detractors on the right viewed her comments not as incendiary criticism of Miller’s hard-line immigration policies but instead as part of a pattern of targeting Jews.

Quote:

On Tuesday, Trump took to Twitter to highlight another of Omar’s critics, Jeff Ballabon, a conservative commentator and Trump campaign adviser.

In early afternoon tweets, Trump quoted Ballabon lambasting Omar and then sent out a clip from his morning appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” in which he argued that Omar is “more dangerous” than white nationalist and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

“Jews are the most victimized minority in this country, far more than blacks, Muslims and women, which is what Ilhan Omar keeps on being characterized as though she’s being attacked,” Ballabon said during the segment.

lmao! "As though she's being attacked" days after someone threatened to kill her, that's some chez-esque gaslighting right there

Best/worst part of this ownage is the Chad over his shoulder on the right snickering when he makes his petulant gravel comment.

Some variation of this will 100% happen.

My guess is they'll use some weird PDF software to "redact" the document and someine will instantly crack that as soon as it's published somewhere
