e: Actually read the article. That's sort of misleading. Basically they are planning ahead and not going to do anything unless Mueller comes down with both barrels.

And if anyone can bring down both barrels, it's Robert Muller. Impeachment is a long shot, but the second he steps out of office he's gonna hit Trump in the face with a federal indictment.

Even if, by some miracle, Trump skates on the federal charges, the NY AG will go after him hard for money laundering, wire fraud, and Christ only knows what else.

Trump's best option is probably having a heart attack and dying in office.

This is what makes me think it's Pence, or at least someone close to him. Pence might be the cousin of the Antichrist, but at least he has two brain cells to rub together. He knows Trump is sinking fast, and unless he starts making plans now, the GOP is going down with him.

That's why he had the article written. He's setting up the GOP so that the party leadership can take two steps aside and distance themselves just enough from Trump so when the poo poo hits the fan, they won't get sprayed.

Washington Post posted:

The Trump administration said Thursday it is preparing to circumvent limits on the government’s ability to hold minors in immigration jails by withdrawing from the Flores Settlement Agreement, the federal consent decree that has shaped detention standards for underage migrants since 1997.
The maneuver is almost certain to land the administration back in court, where U.S. District Court Judge Dolly M. Gee, who oversees the agreement, has rejected attempts to extend the amount of time migrant children can be held with their parents beyond the current limit of 20 days. 
But under changes proposed Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services, the administration said it would issue new regulations that “satisfy the basic purpose” of the Flores settlement and ensure migrant children “are treated with dignity, respect and special concern for their particular vulnerability as minors.”

“Today, legal loopholes significantly hinder the Department’s ability to appropriately detain and promptly remove family units that have no legal basis to remain in the country,” said DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, in a statement. “This rule addresses one of the primary pull factors for illegal immigration and allows the federal government to enforce immigration laws as passed by Congress.”
The proposal sets up a new immigration battle in court, and comes less than three months after the Trump administration’s short-lived attempt to halt an increase in illegal migration by separating children from parents who entered unlawfully. The practice was widely condemned and forced the administration to reverse course and regroup.

House Republicans bracing for November’s midterm elections unveiled a second round of tax cuts on Monday that could add more than $2 trillion to the federal deficit over a decade, aiming to cement the steep cuts they passed last fall despite criticisms of fiscal profligacy and tailoring their policies to help the rich.

The GOP’s “tax reform 2.0″ aims to make permanent the tax cuts for individuals that President Trump signed into law in December 2017, including the law’s temporary reductions in individual filers’ rates, a doubling of the Child Tax Credit, and cuts to the estate tax paid by a small fraction of the wealthiest families.

His cabinet won't use the 25th because they basically have control of him and are using him as a tool to pass horrific legislation. For example, after giving the wealthiest $1.5 trillion last year (of which next to nothing went back to actual workers and instead almost entirely went to shareholders and executives), the GOP is set to pass another set of tax cuts costing another $2T over 10 years.

Isn't there a limit to how much they can cut? At some point there aren't any taxes left.

Many of the work group's recommendations that were rejected by the board dealt with descriptions of the nation's "Judeo-Christian" heritage. Texas Values, a conservative Christian political advocacy group, sent representatives before the board this week to speak out against removing the descriptions. On Friday, they applauded the board's decision to keep them.

"In Texas, you don't mess with the Alamo and you don't mess with our Christian heritage. We applaud the majority of the State Board of Education for doing the right thing by restoring our foundational rights and history," Texas Values President Jonathan Saenz said in a statement. "We are prepared to fight to protect these standards all the way to the end."

This ok sign thing just jogged my memory about something very similar in the Philippines about 3/4 years ago.

In the Philippines there is obviously this large Muslim insurgency centered in the south, predominately in Mindanao and Jolo. Well the government came to a treaty with the main insurgent front to demilitarize in order to self govern a set of islands that were already Muslim majority populations. A part of the agreement was the Government gave themselves farther reaching authorities to crush the lesser insurgent organizations and specifically Abu Sayaf, which was an Al-Qaida affiliate (now its an ISIS one).

Anyways, how this pertains, in order to get around a lot of the identification for social media recruitment, a lot of the members of BIFF and BILF, to of the smaller insurgent organizations wages a campaign of taking pictures with Politicians while holding up their finger in the “we’re number 1” fashion. They were getting those unknowing parties to do so as well, telling them it means a unified or singular Philippines. So a bunch of these pictures hit social media. The 1 symbol has been popular to jihadis as meaning the shahada and symbolizing their faith to Allah. They then started posting those pictures in their recruitment material, and more importantly to their financial backers in Saudi, UAE, and Qatar as a means to show infiltration in the government.

So this isn’t exactly the first time something so innocuous has been used for ill gotten ends.

Same thing happened to the 'horns' gesture. First it was used by Texas A&E, then heavy metal fans, and now it's used by MS-13.
