Congress Passes Expansion of GI BillPolitico posted:The legislation boosts education assistance for National Guard and Reserve troops, Purple Heart recipients and for the dependents of fallen troops. It also would send funding to nontraditional education providers like coding boot camps. In addition, the legislation would fully restore the GI Bill education benefits for veterans who were affected by the collapse in recent years of Corinthian Colleges and ITT Tech, two massive for-profit college chains that had campuses across the country. Hey this sounds like some decent things to do... Politico posted:The expansion would be paid for by reducing the increases in housing allowances paid under the GI Bill to new beneficiaries.

WaPo on how Stephen Miller is echoing Stormfront opinions on the Statue of Libertyquote:“What the president is proposing here does not sound like it’s in keeping with American tradition when it comes to immigration,” the network reporter said to Miller. “The Statue of Liberty says, ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.’”

A necessary, but nowhere near sufficient, step towards impeachment. https://twitter.com/RealPressSecBot/status/893084294821720065 To explain: the only way Donnie gets impeached is if he becomes toxic to House/Senate Republicans and they decide that it's better to have President Pence. All of the Russia poo poo doesn't matter, since impeachment is a political thing. We're way, way, way far away from that point as-is, but Donnie pissing off Congress is a needed step in the process.

Pesticide20 posted:What sort of crazy is going to occur today? Correction. WaPo got the transcripts of Trump's calls to Mexico and Australia, transcripts made by the White house but never released. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/?%3Ftid%3D=sm_pg&utm_term=.37f569856ee5 Twitter recaps: quote:POTUS to Mexican president: “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.” (He did not win NH; he did win the primary.) Edit: holy poo poo he tried to bullshit Turnbull on the refugee numbers. He's really no different to world leaders than he is in a rally speech  https://twitter.com/flashboy/status/893102019472392194

I like the part where Turnbull has to repeatedly tell Trump that the Boston Bombers are not boat people. gently caress, he is dumb. Also whining about the START treaty?  We all gonna die.

I hope the Mooch just decides to burn it down in his press conference. Seriously, gently caress it. He lost his company, his wife, his kid, his job. He is the douchebag version of D-Fens from Falling Down at this point. Burn it the gently caress down, and bring the piss tape.
