Joe Biden is a top 15 president

I imagine Donald took great care in appointing his new Interior Secretary, Hexxus (R.) of Ferngully

If I had to guess, they're doing it in Utah first to try to establish a precedent without the state objecting, and the other states are way more likely to object.

The right only really ever absorbed the White working class and that certainly plays into the way they idealize coal miners.

While ignoring jobs that white working class people actually *do* like trucking, construction, childcare, elder care, cashier, etc. Those guys aren't as deserving as the miners, apparently. And if the unionizing miners existed right now, they'd be public enemy #2 after Black Lives Matter. Look at how Walmart feels about white working class people unionizing.

Someone should create Trump's Golden Shower Vodka.

Take your normal White Eagle or Karkof paint thinner add some yellow food coloring and some gold leaf ala Goldschlager(?).

You can barrel age vodka and it will take on a golden color like any other spirit.

Trump's presidency may not last long enough to market it though.

e: also that would improve the quality, which is very un-Trump. Just add gold flakes to old gasoline.

So, why is the WH still being coy about the alleged tapes? What's the point of holding them until next week? Is it just showmanship? Is it so that Sessions won't be asked about them? What?

God, could you imagine if Trump was actually good at being corrupt? I mean for real, how many of the scandals that have cropped up in the administration so far have been self-inflicted? Like all of them?

I swear to god this administration is like an oroborus, only with a butt instead of a snake's head, just continually making GBS threads itself into infinity.

If Trump gets no major challenges in 4-8 years, this will prove the existence of God, because it's hideous to imagine how badly Trump would deal with something like 9/11 or even a recession.

Given his lack of skill in lying about anything else, I don't think that's going to be what stops him.

I'm to the point where I just assume pretty much anything Trump says or announces is probably either wrong or a lie.

The only reasons I can think of:

1. There are no tapes and they are trying to formulate a reason as to why Trump mentioned them in his tweet. It was a threat, so they might need some time craft some verbal jujitsu to cover Trump's rear end.

2.The tapes do exist and they are formulating a legal strategy since whatever is on them could be pretty damning.

3. The tapes exist and need to be doctored. I wouldn't put it past this administration to attempt it.

He has to make a reality show about everything. Look at the SCOTUS or Paris agreement stuff, everyone knew what his plans were ahead of time, but he had to make a spectacle of it because he CRAVES attention.

(a) the tapes exist and trump's lawyers have made super clear to him he can't lie about them or confirm them or he is in one heap of trouble
(b) the tapes don't exist and trump thinks admitting that would be an admission of wrongdoing so he's avoiding it
