I'm pretty sure the president doesn't have to "implement" every single law congress ever passed every month (or week or day or w/e), so I guess sanctions is something special?
It's not just the sanctions bill either. Things like not properly staffing the State Department or the EPA in order to 'save money' aren't things that are supposed to be up to the POTUS. The purpose and funding for federal agencies is set by acts of Congress, and it's simply up to the administration to execute it. Trump is literally defying the constitution on a regular basis with respect to that.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is the line the admin takes when it comes to this issue. It plays to the super nutso wing of their party that thinks stuff like the Dept of the Interior or the IRS are unconstitutional. It's not, of course, but they can at least play that game for a while to avoid having to bend to the law and hopefully tout that stuff as part of their 'achievements' in four years.

Not of course that Crazy Donald is in any way responsible for coming up with a strategy like that, but the actual smart dirtbags working behind him in the west wing will no doubt come up with something along those lines.

Don't over think it. Clever jokes are for liberals. The idea is to play to Trump's base.

Think Larry the Cable Guy, not Louis CK.

Ehh, I'm not sure it's really a technical nitpick. The illliquidity actually makes it worth less than the paper value, and possibly even "a lot less" although valuing liquidity is a tough problem.

I agree that it makes little sense if they are discussing policy in an honest manner. As far as political strategy and messaging goes, I have no idea.

Point isn't giving him credit, nobody thinks hes an awesome person all the sudden. The point is to give Republicans a face saving way to jump ship and speak out against Trump and Trumpism. Which hopefully will keep lots of non-trumpism conservative voters home on election days.

In a seeming confession, Lane Davis told detectives that the fight had started over “whether toddlers could consent to sex or not,” and his father had called him a Nazi and a racist.


Quote:
On his YouTube channel—which still after seven years has just around 11,000 subscribers—Lane peddled the conspiracy theorist's greatest hits (vaccines and Sept. 11 inside jobs among them), posted original pro-Trump raps alongside cooking tutorials, and most notably, released a three-hour long documentary on GamerGate. Curiously, Lane suggested the campaign of online harassment (doxing, and rape and death threats were favored practices) targeting female video-game developers in 2014 was linked to the education standards known as Common Core.
lol "curiously"

That kind of nonsensical conspiratarding is like 90% of all right wing content on the internet. ****ing 'curiously'? I feel like I read these tales of inchoate rage filled right wing morons connecting the dots between Common Core and females daring to do journalism about video games, it sounds like ~all of the morons that used to post alot on P7 or are all over SMP or any one of dozens of subreddits or literally any Brietbart article or story that Drudge links to. And the mainstream press is like, wow, these insane people, how curious. I used to think so too but I mean this is like what all of them sound like, precisely.

It is pretty amusing how many of these strong independent Trumpers still live with mommy and daddy well into their 30s.

At least where I live people did not think Obama did a good job, but were respectful.

WHen I went to school (the 80's) there was always a picture of the President in the classroom. If that occurred today, people would freak out.

The total disrespect for our Democratically elected leader disappoints and disgusts me. He won. There was no level of this disrespect towars Obama. Yeah, yeah, Trump challenged his citizenship, but he released his birth certiticate and it went away!

The birthers also aggressively went after Seanator McCain. Didn't know that, did you? Was he born on a military base, or off military base? Birther movement is not based on race, but he fact Obama won! There were many questions on McCain's legitimacy as well!
