Six Months of the Trumpanzy! Oh Fuck!

[Hypoxia]

First off what would you propose we do?

Much has been proposed here. Some of it even makes sense.

It seems to me and most rational people that you would just let the healthcare system failing entirely.

Guppies give not a shit about a viable healthcare system. The ACA furore is a mask to cover huge tax cuts for the wealthiest -- which means raising taxes and/or cutting protections for everyone else.

Democrats will not work with Republicans regardless of what they come up with.

Guppies have declared Dems THE ENEMY and totally locked them out from the legislative process. Why should any Dem roll over and surrender to the gerrymandering turds? Guppy rule is illegitimate, with vote-luzers grabbing power by destroying the electoral process. Tell me, if someone rapes your wife and daughter and burns down your house, would you voluntarily give him your credit cards and property deeds too?

Trump is a dumbass and I agree but Obama care has been a multi billion dollar failure so use your free cell phone and post that.c

RomneyCare aka ObamaCare aka ACA is sinking because the lying Guppy Congress refused to provide subsidy funding they had promised. Can you say OATH-BREAKERS? They're well-led by the Lying-Sack-Of-Shit-In-Chief.

As the 26th Weak of the Trumpanzy wraps up:

‘He’s going to fire Mueller’: MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch warns Trump will take drastic measures to avoid jail

“Trump tells us what he is going to do, he shows his hand — that’s what totalitarian people do,” Deutsch said. “He has said there is a red line if you go into my businesses. Of course, they’re going into his businesses.”

He pointed to a recent report, “Trump’s Laundromat,” in the New Republic that examines the president’s longstanding ties to Russian mobsters and money launderers — and Deutsch said the facts were devastating.

“Trump knows he cannot let it go that far, he cannot — he will be destroyed, he will end up possibly in jail,” Deutsch said. “He will fire Mueller at some point. You can see, he is teeing it up. That’s where this is going, make no mistake about it.”

“Donald Trump is not going to sit by — regardless of what the law is or repercussions are — let this investigation go on its own terms in its current way,” he added.

Gosh! Trumpanzy is going to make a mistake Biggly!

When Will Republicans Learn That Donald Trump Hates Them?

Across the Trump-fanatic clickservative media, the week’s theme was ‘Why won’t Republicans follow Donald Trump over the cliff?’

To remind my Republican friends for the hundredth time, the Trump base isn’t your base. His supporters hate you as much as Trump hates you. Trump devotees don’t care about shrinking the size and scope of government. They don’t care about the Constitution. They’re not Republicans, except as a flag of convenience. If you haven’t noticed the theme from Fox to Rush and across the rest of the Trump-fanatic clickservative media isn’t “My God, this bill was political death for anyone who voted for it.” Instead, it was “Why won’t Republicans follow Donald Trump over the cliff? What good is a majority if it won’t destroy itself in a vote that 70 percent of the population hates?”

So, to my Republican elected friends, there are a lot of reasons that GOP Trumpism won’t work, but the biggest one is this: Donald Trump hates you. You are, at best, props and extras in “The Apprentice: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” No matter how many times you abase yourself before him, no matter how much you grovel, it will never be enough. The moment you do anything to preserve your own political fortunes, he will turn on you. The moment you deviate from constant service to his colossal ego, you’re going to end up on blast. He has no allies. Only fluffers and foes.

Hypoxia, that article is priceless.

He nailed what others have been hinting at, for months. One of the journalists that that I quoted, said that Trump is "a brick thrown through a window."

Who would know more, than the people that were first account witnesses, in the South, the West, and the Mid-West ? Do they have an essential insight, into which way the winds are blowing ?

Who, could possibly place any faith in the blather that Trump spread during his campaign ? A nihilist would be in a state of insane joy, while attending one of exclusive Trump rallies. Witnessing firsthand, what chaos Trump would be bringing to the White House. The nihilists could not have invented a more corrosive example of what the current system would find acceptable, and useful. The desperate people, holding onto to the last of the manufacturing jobs were hoping Trump would help them-

In December, Chuck Jones, then-president of the United Steelworkers Local 1999 union that represents Carrier workers, gave multiple media interviews pushing back on Trump’s claim that the deal was a victory for workers. He said Trump “lied his ass off” when it came to saving 1,000 jobs and said the details surrounding the kind of deal Trump and Pence struck with Carrier were dubious. In a statement following the deal, Carrier announced that “the incentives offered by the state were an important consideration” to staying. The incentives, paid by Indiana taxpayers, amount to $7 million over a decade — $700,000 a year.

Carrier Corp. plans to eliminate 338 jobs at its Indianapolis furnace factory Thursday — and the timing is likely to raise some eyebrows.

James, who recently succeeded retired union leader Chuck Jones, said he expects Carrier to eventually close the plant. Mohan Tatikonda, an operations management professor for the Indiana University Kelley School of Business who has visited the Carrier plant, said it's a valid fear.

While the Carrier factory continues to churn out furnace products, Milwaukee-based Rexnord Corp. is preparing to close its nearby industrial bearings factory in September. Rexnord recently postponed the plant's closing, yet has shown no signs of giving into pressure that Trump has applied to the company as recently as May to keep it open.

Aside from Trump's attacks on manufacturers in speeches and on Twitter, Tatikonda said the president has done little else to reverse job losses caused by the onslaught of automation. "There hasn't been any policy proposal from this presidential administration that gets at retaining and growing the manufacturing workforce," he said.

Robert James, the president of the union that represents Carrier workers, said many of the Carrier workers do not believe that the plant will stay in Indianapolis for the full 10 years.

Kushner adds at least $10 million in assets he 'inadvertently omitted' to disclose.

President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner "inadvertently omitted" more than 70 assets worth at least $10.6 million from his personal financial disclosure reports, according to revised paperwork released Friday.

The previously unreported assets were included in updated disclosure reports certified by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Thursday as part of the "ordinary review process," according to Kushner's filing.

The new disclosures come as Kushner faces renewed questions about his vast business holdings and how they may conflict with his role shaping public policy.

Did it take him six months to count up his money?

His Form 86 must have more amendments than the Constitution by now.

What I found interesting is that the company said they would lay off people and they are. Trump somehow got the state of Indiana to give Carrier a set of incentives which the people of Indiana will have to pay for. The news reported this as a way for Carrier to hold onto more people. Carrier is using the incentive money to automate its company, which of course, means even more people losing their jobd. Wow, jobless residents stuck paying for the machines that made them jobless. That sounds about right for Trump.

So closing out the 26th Weak of the Trumpanzy is this bit of advice.

‘He should go join Mr. Snowden in Moscow’: Ex-Bush ethics lawyer tells Trump to move before pardoning himself

President George W. Bush’s ethics lawyer, Richard Painter, didn’t pull any punches on MSNBC’s “11th Hour with Brian Williams” Friday. He suggested that President Donald Trump simply move in with Russian President Vladimir Putin before trying to pardon himself.

Citing a recent op-ed from Painter, Williams wondered if Trump could legally pardon himself. There were reports late Thursday that Trump was asking his attorneys about pardons for his family and staff if it came to that. Painter’s op-ed outlines that the Constitution does not allow for the president to do it.

“I would think that innocent people would not be thinking about who could pardon them,” Painter judged. “And we are in an extraordinary situation here. I’ve got to say, first, with respect to the attorney general, I mean either he has been lying about his relationship with the Russians and what he talked with the Russians about, flat out lying or he is being framed by somebody who is leaking this information, false information to the Washington Post in order to get him fired.”

Sound advice, eah?

 

[Hypoxia]

Tromp can't legally pardon himself. 1) The pardon is a 'grant', given to another, and is traditionally an act of mercy. 2) Common-law holds that one may not be a judge in their own case; a president must be pardoned by a successor, as Ford did Nixon.

No, Tromp can't legally pardon himself... unless the packed SCOTUS says he can.

Hey Amerikkka, do you feel great again yet?
