Zeris posted:Not playing devil's advocate - actually wondering - what are the list of ways Russia interfered, with an outcome useful to Trump, in the election? Pretty strong suspicion that Trump is funded almost entirely with Russian money by now. He bankrupted a god drat casino. He's a loving terrible businessman and has been under water for so long no western banks would touch anything he does with a twenty foot pole for decades. Yet somehow mysteriously he's still doing his thing and the most fickle, two-faced, disingenuous person to ever walk the face of this planet that has been on both sides of every issue in the same conversation has only ever been rock-solid and completely unchanging about two things; not releasing his tax returns and praising Putin.

mlmp08 posted:Sessions being some Russian collaborator seems far fetched to me. But the amount of people who were screaming about Benghazi and Emails but immediately dismiss any Russian poo poo as fake news is exasperating. Especially with more shady types like Flynn and Manafort. Because when my team does it, it's a good thing. When your team does it that's bad.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/us/politics/trump-mnuchin-irs.html Trump wants to cut the IRS by 14%, for budget reasons of course. Wait, what, the IRS gives more money to the federal budget than it is allocated? And most of that money comes from rich people getting audited and forced to pay the gently caress up? Wow that's an amazing coincidence. Yep. Amazing. What's that you say, Donnie's been under audit for years because he's a shifty mother fucker looking to dodge taxes his entire adult life and he just happens to be a spiteful, vengeful dickhead on the side? Welp gotta save federal dollars, so cuts for the IRS are the only way to do it. Party of fiscal responsibility and all don't ya know?

I consider this health care thing a major test of how hard a grip the trumpster fire has on the entire republican party's balls. He's promised his followers the moon and the rest of the party has to follow along with his bat poo poo insanity or fight him head to head. If the Hate Mango was smart he'd rebrand the ACA by scrawling Trumpcare across the title with a gold sharpie, sneak in a few tax cuts that nobody except a billionaire's team of lawyers can understand and spin it to his base so hard a vinyl record gets jealous. He is not smart and is instead lashing out in fury at perceived slights against his ego because he doesn't get how the game is played in politics. The "freedom caucus" (gently caress I hate that name) is already making GBS threads on his gold plated ideas for not being a full repeal right now, and it's only going downhill from here.
