vyelkin posted:They don't want to pay for fixing Flint, so they left it out of the bill. Now they think that because Democrats are the ones refusing to agree to a bill that could pass the House and Senate, it's the Democrats who appear unreasonable and will be blamed for the shutdown. Whether this is true or not, who knows. Seems like this is the official explanation to get the party to follow along again since racism has been working so well for this this year, but I still think it's just Ted Cruz's latest petty stunt to sabotage both parties so he looks better either way.

You know how "Generic R/D" always polls better than the actual candidate from either side? I think Tim Kaine might actually be "Generic D" Like if you made a Politician in some Madden White House '16 game, Tim Kaine is the result if you left all the sliders at neutral.

At least with the Hillary v Trump thing I've been able to turn my fears away with Hillary seeming generally ahead but I can't do the same with an imminent shutdown and furlough

Here's Fahrentold's article - tl;dr he redirects money owed to him to the foundation instead.quote:Donald Trump’s charitable foundation has received approximately $2.3 million from companies that owed money to Trump or one of his businesses but were instructed to pay Trump’s tax-exempt foundation instead, according to people familiar with the transactions.

I said it in C-SPam, but I think its still a reasonable thing to say, given how facts don't loving matter this year. This is sleezy as poo poo and likely illegal, but could easily have good optics to low info voters. "Oh, he declined to be paid himself, and instead told them to just donate the money to charity instead. What an angel"

I really wish the "Trump uses his foundation as a slush fund" stuff would have gotten traction before the same was said, but lies, about Clinton.

That Fahrenthold thing is up https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...83336&tid=ss_tw TL;DR the Trump Foundation is a tax-dodging slush fund - he has people who own him money give money to the Foundation, and then uses it for his personal benefit. Illegal as gently caress, and it won't matter.
