I'd wait till after he signs it to start making noise about how Mr. Art of the Deal got almost nothing he asked for. Then I'd probably insinuate that a Secret Service agent is loving Melania and Barron and Don Jr. are both calling thay guy "Daddy".

http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/30/polit...linkId=37045736 another Republican house member is retiring. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who i never heard of before but she seemed like an ok person. Her son is trans and she did a PSA with him for the NC bathroom bill. Also she was the first hispanic woman in congress. And she just won her reelection a few months ago. Hillary carried her district by 20 points.

Deathy McDeath posted:RE: budget stuff I think it's mostly a consequence of the filibuster in the Senate and why both parties are so freaked about it potentially going away. Republicans could've jammed a shitbudget through a 50 vote threshold, but they're not unified enough and it would lead to trouble in the Senate if the House's version was too lovely. So they needed Democrats, and Democrats are holding up as a solid bloc right now, so you get the conditions for a compromise. So with that, leadership of both parties turned loose their staffers to hammer out a deal. When their bosses aren't being stupid (and Donnie isn't running his mouth), staffers can do a ton of negotiation work like this. Their active assumption has been: 1) Donnie's budget is full of bullshit and full of cuts that nobody will support in either party (NIH, EPA to some extent, foreign aid, State department, etc). 2) Donnie is full of poo poo and will want things that nobody will support in either party (wall). 3) Donnie will sign whatever you put on his desk. So, Democrats get to keep their programs, Republicans get more Defense/Border money. The Border money is $1.5B in technical upgrades and repairs on the fencing currently there, specifically banned for use on a new wall or new border patrol agents, so it's enough where Donnie can declare victory and then start yammering on about how his big, beautiful wall will be built soon, believe me.

Her district swung overwhelmingly Dem in the presidential election, so she was caught between party politics and representing her district.

And if both Democrats and Republicans agree on a budget, they could easily find enough votes to override a Trump veto. Happy Labour Day, GiP

Congress is almost, kinda-halfway mostly doing its job, and all it took was the election of a half-wit megalomaniac to the chief executive's office. This loving year is turning out weirder than 2016.

Deathy McDeath posted:RE: budget stuff Lets not get crazy now. Its just smart enough to realize Trump's budget doesn't work and they aren't ready to fight out a real one. So they basically just extended the same poo poo we have had. Also they can't write a new one until health care reform is finally sorted out and they decide if they are going to completely gently caress the tax code. Which is why they pushed everything back to September.

Well yes. That is exactly what bipartisanship is. The problem is bipartisanship is not what Congress does anymore.

So apparently there is going to be a Trump interview aired on SirrusXM 124 containing this: https://twitter.com/IsaacDovere/status/859020505034231809 Apparently Trump thinks Andrew Jackson was a great person that was upset with the formation of the Confederate States, and would have prevented the Civil War.

Genocide Tendency posted:Its also missing the part where Andrew Jackson died 15 years before South Carolina became the first state to leave the Union. Trump's probably getting the Civil War confused with the Nullification Crisis, which 1) was during Jackson's tenure and 2) also involved South Carolina being a bunch of preening morons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullification_Crisis?wprov=sfla1 It seems like the sort of random synapse misfire Donnie would spout out in an interview, but maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Honestly amazed if Trump actually managed to digest that much on Jacksonian history.

Of course Trump loves Jackson, he was just a successful President Trump. Jackson campained the same way (hickory canes and red baseball caps), talked a big game and bad-mouthed his opponents and got his base riled up, and the best part is he ignored the courts and did what he wanted anyways. Also Jackson was smart enough to accomplish some stuff, mainly kicking my people the hell out of the US. In the interest of fairness, Jackson did keep South Carolina from seceding in 1828 during the nullification crisis (SC wanted to ignore a federal tariff because northern states are big dumn meanie heads). Not necessarily a civil war situation, but no way Trump is smart enough to know about this event/the difference.
