Trump brings Stephen Miller to the table which automatically disqualifies that statement.


Get him the gently caress out as soon as possible.

I don't know if Pence would get rid of Miller, but I have my doubts that he wouldn't bring someone just as bad, but with less of a public reputation on board...

And in the meantime, here’s how our next SCOTUS justice is behaving at his confirmation hearings:

Like, the absolute minimum thing to do as a human being, let alone a prospective appointee to the highest court in the country, would have been to return the handshake and say “I’m sorry for your loss” not this bullshit.

If Trump does get impeached, is there any kind of mechanism to undo his appointments?

The UK has charged two Russian intelligence officers with trying to murder the Skripals.

Of course they got on a plane back to Russia as soon as the deed was done, so unless they're dumb enough to travel somewhere with extradition, nothing will ever happen.

Trump is president and is probably making his businesses more money than he was able to before now.

He would've made more long term if he hadn't become president and kept out of the political limelight.

Now nearly every one of his businesses is under deep scrutiny and, surprise, they are built on very poor foundations

It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. If someone earns below a line then the government pays them some amount instead of charging them tax. It's been put forth as a more pragmatic/affordable way to approach universal basic income. The Economist has a good article about UBI where they talk about it but I'm on my phone and can't find it.

Its also the only way capitalism will survive, since despite the wealth vacuum, still depends on the purchasing power of lower/middle class Americans to feed into it to be viable.

I asked one of the medics in our unit who is a cop on the civilian side what he thought of the execution of the guy crawling towards the officer in the hotel a while back. He said it was bad, but within 2 minutes of conversation was saying you can't trust people even if they are in full compliance. Cops will never admit any shooting a police officer does is wrong. Ever.

By this logic, might as well shoot them handcuffed. You never know.
