It wasn't praise, it was a begrudging acknowledgment that they were complying.

Apparently the 50% of Republicans support Trump suspending an election had questions prior to that specific point talking about voter fraud, basically priming people to fear it, hence why such a strong response. So, take it with a grain of salt.

On the topic of voter fraud, I saw this story circulating today: http://wset.com/news/local/student-headed-to-prison-for-registering-dead-voters-for-democrats

quote:

A former staffer with Harrisonburg Votes, a political organization affiliated with the Democratic party, paid to register area voters during the weeks leading up to the 2016 National Election, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday for causing 18 fraudulent Virginia Voter Registration Forms.

The Right's takeaway is that this is evidence of widespread voter fraud. I assume (hope?) the Left's takeaway is that, actually, the system is working as intended, and someone who tried to commit voter fraud was correctly caught and punished.

Give it time. That's a one-time payout that is probably, at most, about 1/4 of what he was making at Google in a year. And he's going on to make himself completely unemployable at most places that will pay at that level. He has crafted a lead parachute for himself.

The Job Creator in Chief. How many jobs have been directly lost by the firings and walk outs and retirements and lack of replacements in all of the federal government since his election? Holy poo poo. it must be getting close to like 5 or 10 thousand people by now. thousands of good paying upper middle class jobs which generally were known to have good benefits and job security... The kind you can buy a house and raise a family on. :crossarms:

If only Trump would go campaign about the wasteland of empty offices in DC and the jobs he needs to bring back there, it would be complete. A poo poo sundae with the cherry on top and everything.

Trump just mentioned he was "very disappointed" with Mitch McConnell at a press conference.

This feels like a good play for Trump, whose absolute ignorance on all legislative topics meant he provided no leadership on health care. Mitch is not amazingly popular with his Senate delegation at the moment and nationally McConnell is maybe the only politician with worse numbers than Trump, so he makes a good scapegoat.

As for Trump's ability to get anything done, it is another self-broadside to that.

Paul Ryan is doing pretty awful isn't he?

in the long run you're much better off with a successful career as a software engineer for a major multinational corporation than torching your career out of stubborn egotism so you can beg internet nazis for handouts once your fifteen minutes are up

average salary for that guy's job position was $151k plus bennies. and i wouldn't be shocked if he seriously thinks he can bludgeon his way back into a similar position somewhere through the sheer power of his exquisite logical mind, despite the fact that his every action from this point on makes his employability decrease further and further. it tends to look bad to future employers if you get fired and launch a media driven lawsuit out of spite despite the clear and obvious reasons behind your termination

also hiring this guy basically guarantees a hostile workplace environment lawsuit from the women at your company, which is likely only the cherry on top of their lawsuit because any place that hires this guy probably is doing a whole lot of lovely sexist stuff as well

Trump making a move against the Iran Deal is pretty much inevitable, but it's interesting to think about what the international response would be. I kinda doubt most of the other signatories would be willing to go to bat for this idiot. The chief hangup would be the power of the US Dollar in hobbling their own trade with Iran, and there's been some buzz about the possibility of the US Dollar being replaced as the reserve currency, or at least instituting workarounds.

Under normal circumstances I'd say that's impossible, but with a debt fight coming up before decertification and Trump at the helm I just don't know anymore. Foreign Policy had an article up recently on how Europe+Russia+China could preserve the deal, assuming Rouhani can keep the hardliners under control.
