I hate what that guy looks like. And I don't mean that in a racist way. There's something about his face that really bothers me. Eyes are the window to the soul and all that...

This is from the Washington Post....

"President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring that only the attorney general or the president, instead of federal regulators or bureaucrats, can speak for the U.S. when interpreting the meaning of laws carried out by the executive branch."

I expected no less.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Sure, that won’t have an impact on income tax season. He’s weeded out or scared anyone who might point out any negative consequences. For Mump types, April 15 is a meaningless date, but disrupting IRS functions gets blamed on IRS, which is downsized, reducing efficiency, increasing anger at government, justifying further downsizing and tax cuts. And that repeats across all departments/agencies interacting with the public and requiring routine interpretation of regulations. Then Mump hires more unqualified MAGAs to fill all those empty positions. He increased govt payroll in first admin, he’ll do it again, and increase deficit for good measure. And I won't be surprised if lower and middle class income taxes go up somehow.

Incredible.

The US president openly parrotting Kremlin talking points is beyond the pale.

No wonder Russia doesn't want Europe to participate in negotiations for peace.

They know a sucker when they see one.

I remember when I almost got drummed out of this thread for calling Trump supporters patsies. And Trump is the biggest one!
