Lol. Ask him if he feels like paying taxes to help the less fortunate *Americans*, and he'll howl like a baby.

Legit thought these were going to be look-alikes. Can't believe they're the real thing.
They should have played the Curb theme.
Also, sooooo fucking happy to read Twitter's stock is imploding too. Garbage, garbage, garbage.
Gimme gimme gimme 1 trillion in tax cuts and 12billion tariff welfare.
Golf in the morning, hate rallies in the evening. Zero time to sit down with Mueller because his schedule is packed.
You'd be surprised how much campaigning can get done on the course.
Republican delegate in VA intends to resign.
Represents a solid-red SW VA district that went hard Republican even last year, but in the interim the HoD will be 50-49 in Republicans' favor.
If by some miracle we won it, we could tie the chamber.
What was it Brett Kavanaugh wrote? Oh yeah....
"I believe it vital that the president be able to focus on his never-ending tasks with as few distractions as possible..."
To be fair, Trump does so little governing on a daily basis that him being out of the WH almost continuously for 2 months would make almost no impact. He meets with foreign heads of state for an hour a few times a week, heads medal ceremonies and I have no idea what else. Any random idiot could do those things.
If you want to get picky, WWI and the Korean War weren't about protecting our country. I dislike the guy on this alone. And yes, I'm sure all the now-dead WWII vets would be overjoyed to hear that despite their sacrifices we have the rise of Literal Nazis in the US currently. And of course you're dead on. They can claim to care about the country but mysteriously not give a shit about the poor people living in it. Someone tell him that if all the poors disappear there'll be fewer people to go fight and die in whatever next gigantic war there'll inevitably be.
Penalaized for doing the right thing? They and other social medial are a scam. Them allowing bots that in turn inflate their revenue/advertising numbers should be illegal because they are pretty much scamming investors. Non of these companies should have been allowed go public until they could prove the users signing up are actual people. Worst part is they know they can differentiate between bots and humans but choose to not too allowing both theft and now weaponization.
That seems like it will inflate tuitions, no? If the federal government can't act to force the schools to control their costs, they will just let them creep up, right?
I vaguely recall Hannity and Fox News being outraged for each of the single handful of times Obama went to stump or did a fundraiser while President.
Yup, the bots were drastically inflating their numbers. This is a correction to that. The stock shouldn't have been that high in the first place.
O'Reilly lost his mind in 2013 when Obama made some offhand remark about how he hoped Democrats could recapture the House in 2014, claiming it proved he didn't want to work with Boehner and the Republicans.
Like Christ, when did a Democrat expressing his preference for Democrats to win become this controversial thing
They are getting penalized for lying to investors since their IPO about their massive bot problem. Their leadership should be in jail for securities fraud.
Looks like we have some news regarding the Kavanaugh nomination:
Republicans deliberately not asking for records of his time as staff secretary. Why is this important? From this article:
Perhaps Facebook and Twitter would have more active users and better engagement if they didn't regularly make news regarding their perpetual insistence on bothsidesing ludicrous garbage. It's sorta a turnoff. I'm firmly of the belief that no PR is bad PR, except in this case. This has been horrible PR for them both and they should suffer for it. They need to learn that kowtowing to a crazy vocal minority at the risk of alienating the average person is bad for business.
They're going to get murdered in redistricting and they know it, even if 2021 is a good year for them GOP power is on the decline in the state and sitting around waiting for power again is a hell of a lot of time to waste.
HIs better be paying for those trips. As it is I'm surprised someone like CREW hasn't sued/filed a complaint about him breaking whatever rules apply
Just like his weekly golfing, tax payers will foot the bill.
Again, every one of those GOP Senators could be King or Queen on ANYTHING and yet...
And Ted Lieu can't either!
Yeah, it'll be a bigger version of the Loan Forgiveness Act, good for former students, but still just a bandaid. We gotta figure out why they're exploding in cost these last few decades and it almost assuredly ain't simple.

As has been said, Trump does pretty much shit all as president with his aides mostly just taking care of most things.
She has to be retiring in 2020.
If she doesn't get creamed in the primary by some certified loony who doesn't think she's conspicuously Trumpy enough (despite voting with him 90% of the time), she'll lose the general. Also, ranked-choice voting ensures the left won't split its vote and give her a plurality victory.
She's doomed if she runs again.
I was actually surprised at how polite the were.
Pepsi is now the official cola of the alt-right
Great, just what we need.
Dems need to make a lot of fucking noise.
Monstrous. Fucking monstrous. This entire zero tolerance policy is a crime against humanity. Trump and the rest rest of the fucking idiots supporting him need to be sent to the Hague in chains. The stories of children being hurt and now acting distant from their parents breaks my heart. The god damn abuse just makes it all the much worse. Fuck everything about this.
My theory:
* Corporate vice-grip on working conditions, leading to:
* inflation of educational hiring metrics ("without an M-B-A/won't even glance at your resume")
* cultural obsession of "career tracks" vs. "jobs"
* (related to above) classist reinforcement of specific industries ("work smart, not hard.")
* "Temporarily Embarrassed Milionaires" Syndrome
She'd have to wait until 2022. Her Senate seat will be up for reelection in 2020, another year likely to be good for Democrats.
I think people underestimate how screwed she is. Yes, she votes with Trump 90%+ of the time, but she's had the audacity to say some mildly critical things (and do nothing), and the MAGAs still haven't forgiven her for the health care vote. She does not have the same coalition as Murkowski, who can win a write-in vote even if she loses a primary. Unlike Alaska, Maine is sufficiently blue that they can just elect a Democrat instead of compromising to prevent a far-right loon.
The MAGAs will vote against her in the primary. The crossover votes she normally gets in the general will be angry at her. And ranked-choice voting ensures that a left-leaning independent can't split the vote and let her squeak through.
She will either retire or lose.
Well, then I shouldn't have been moderately uncivil. :)
Uh.
This is seriously terrible.
And you know this can't be the only case. There's going to be more.
In the coming months we are bound to hear stories of monstrous abuse that went on. :(
This needs to be broadcast on every news channel for the rest of Trump's presidency.
There is going to be a terrible, terrible moral reckoning for us. We're too close to it to get our heads around it yet. Some day there will be thousands of stories.
o
Honestly, it was only a matter of time before a story like this surfaced. I'm only surprised that it wasn't preceded by a story of these kids being beaten first. Treat people like they're some kind of subhuman garbage and it's only a matter of time before someone gets it in their head that they can get away with whatever they want.
