Trump is a total ass clown

[BotanyBoy]

exonerating Hillary weren't enough?

Immunity deals and pleading the 5th aren't really exoneration...more of a pardon on technicality because home girl hookup with the AG/POTUS.

I suspect the Dems spin about her being "cleared" by the FBI "Security Review" (but totes not an actual criminal investigation about actual, observed violations of federal statutes) after Comey tried to be as polite as he vould possibly be while identifying all of the criminal violations thar "no reasonable prosecuter would file charges (against Clinton) is why when the Weiner thing came out (heh,) he took the opportunity to once again point out these were serious issue worthy of an actual FBI investigation.

She probably shouldn't have done the victory lap after getting away with it with whatever deal Bill cut on the tarmac to save Obama embarrassment.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Not entirely sure that it applies to Trump, but he made excellent points.
BUT for two things:
His choice Secretary of education (an enthusiatic Charter schools advocate, and everybody know how disastruous that turned out to be, when they introduced the idea 8n / experimented on poor minorities).
Or for nominating the former Goodman Sacks person for Finance.


It would be great if 4est or colHogan, underguy or eyer or anyone else who doesn't usually mind would explain this a bit more or elaborate on this.

What's to elaborate? "Butterfly farts" knows nothing about Constitutional law or political statecraft. He's actually called for the elimination of the CIA on grounds of political corruption but apparently believes one could reconstitute the same bureaucracy free from the "corrupting influence" of the Chief Executive to which it directly reports.

Anytime I see someone trying to divorce an Executive branch employee's Constitutional oath from a political party or supervising authority of the President, my eyes roll back into my head.

People this stupid do not deserve your attention.

Also, you should not read too much into the prior policy positions of new cabinet appointees. Neither signals an advocacy for charter schools or a return to the worst of the Wall Street excesses that sparked the 2008 recession. President Trump will set policy in consultation with cabinet and staff, but ultimately cabinet and staff will be charged with implementing that policy whether they agree with it or not.

Or they will hit the road.

Amplifying on the above.

A great many of Trumps cabinet selections are remarkably free of political donor obligations. They owe no one anything beyond those particular concepts that they might enjoy a commonality with. For the most part their sole allegiance will be to the president, as it should be, and more importantly they have no history of foreign political finance connections.

To be certain the democrats are going to try to vigorously oppose several of the nominations. But they'd do that no matter who Trump nominated unless he followed a list that they provided. Their, the democrats, problem is Harry Reid, or more specifically his invoking of the "nuclear option." Hoisted on their own pittard so to speak.

In reading the litany of democrat complaints re. Trumps nominations there is a recurrent theme. That being that unless you are a career politician or bureaucrat, "they aren't qualified" for the position, including Trump himself. Me? I see that as a refreshing breath of fresh air. I, for one, am tired of the typical political double speak and/or non-answers to questions posited to the politicos, politicos of BOTH parties. For once we might hear a pig being called a pig rather than a "misunderstood ungulate."

Uh-huh.


Six donors that Trump appointed gave almost $12 million with their families to back his campaign and the party

Trump has so far chosen four major donors or fundraisers to join his Cabinet. With just over half of the jobs filled, he already has more high-end campaign donors in his Cabinet than either President Obama or President George W. Bush did when taking office.

Obama’s first Cabinet had more campaign donors — at least eight — in total than Trump, but the most any of them gave Obama was $9,000, according to Federal Election Commission records. Many of Obama’s initial picks were Democratic politicians.

His pick to head the SBA is literally the single biggest donor to the Trump Foundation.

His pick to head the SBA is literally the single biggest donor to the Trump Foundation.

And he is obligated to which donors?

You can read that question in the context of; "It appears that he is an ardent Trump supporter that exercised his first amendment rights by writing checks. So what organization(s) was he a front for?"

Except for the issue that it is well known, confirmed by quite a few people who have worked with him or for him, that Trump is easily persuaded and frequently goes with whatever idea the last person who talks to him puts forward.

For instance, If DeVoss is one of the few actually talking to him about education it's a pretty safe bet that the US education system will sink to the bottom, where she put Michigan's.
On the bright side, maybe Michigan's won't be one of the worst in the country any longer.

So you're saying that Trump is just another booble-headed blonde?

I wonder how the democrats feel about getting their asses kicked by a booble-headed blonde?

Hopefully they feel really stupid, which they should for picking her as the nominee.

You read every word I type, limp dick, you always have.

And Drumpf deliberately courted the racists, neo-nazis and anti-semites and it worked. Says a lot about how many utter cunts are in your country.

You can puff up your ego all you want seany-poo but you've been off ignore for a relatively short time. Witness this exchange. When you say something of note, I'll respond. Then again you can continue with your 'stalking you' delusion and I'll just save bandwidth again.

Why? Is Michigan going to suddenly import brighter students and involved parents?

Your kind love how statistics "prove" what you are trying to prove until, of course, they "prove" something you don't want to hear.

They don't get it. They see "money bad." It doesn't compute to them that a person would use their own money. Money from the trial lawyers or the NEA, or ASCFE is perfectly reasonable because it is offered to defeat those evil Republicans.

Yet another person that seems unaware of the fact that this is not a contest for the most votes. The fact that the person who wins the election, more often than not, has more votes is simply byproduct of winning more of the contested states.

Trump won nearly all of the contested States. The uncontested States are meaningless bystanders. What with them not being part of the "contest" and hence, "uncontested."

Effectively, no. Hillary might as well forgone the paperwork of getting on the ballot in Texas.

We are talking about the State that has put Governor Moonbeam in office once again.

This passes for an intelligent response?
