Donald Trump 2018

Will someone explain why Bruce Ohr shouldn't be employed at the Justice Department?

[kevwun 15,777]

Bruce Ohr must be doing some damn fine work to have Trump and Putin that pissed off at him.

[Lagunamadre 1,975]

Any Trumpers on here that can explain what Bruce Ohr did to warrant being fired?

Probably just pointed out some nonsensical bs from someone over at Fox, since we all know the producers of Foxnews basically run this country right now.

Things I learned this morning from Trump tweets.

• Bruce Ohr has some serious shit on Trump.
• McGahn's departure is dependent upon the confirmation of Kavanaugh. Trump needs the seat in the SC filled, so when he goes against McGahn's advise and fires Sessions and pardons all his shitbag thug cronies, he's suited and booted for the inevitable constitutional crisis.
• Trump finally learned how to spell the word counsel. Or someone stepped in and spelled it for him.

He is just the next boogeyman Trump has to create..

 - rail on McCabe for 3 months.. out.. Who's next?

 - rail on Peter Strzok for 3 months.. out. Who's next?

 - rail on Bruce Ohr for 3 months...

Some guy we never heard of will come next after Ohr.. big bad and scary, no doubt.

This is really the story of the last 30 years. It ties into everything.

Deficits, wage stagnation, kleptocracy, eroding middle class, regressive taxation, environmental degradation....and last but not least, the moral reversal that the measure of a mans worth is now the size of his wallet rather than the content of his character.

 

[David Dennison 18,856]

So Bruce Ohr is the DOJ's expert on the Russian mob.

Now it makes sense.

Good job, Trump voters.

I wouldn't expect any effect on wages at all.   Corporations will generally pay employees the least that they can get away with.   When they pay more, it will be because they have to based on the labor market or the law.   Why would they pass along the tax windfall to employees rather than pocket the money?  At best they'd invest in growing the business, but I'm not so sure that's happening.

Are you saying capitalism isn't always in the best interest of labor?

Probably true.  It’s just weird to see a chart impliedly making the argument that profits and wages should move anything close to hand in hand, especially on the time scale they are showing there.

It was marketed as being a good thing for workers.

Clearly, it was oversold.

I continue to believe several congressmen are going to jail based on Mueller’s investigation. I think the ties to dirty Russian money goes much deeper than anyone could have imagined before all of this started.

I think it only aims to show who is benefiting from Trump's tax cut for the rich. The rich. Only, Trump didn't call it a tax break for the rich.

Winning!

The tax bill was sold as instant pass-through for labor.   Remember all of the attribution of the bonuses to the tax bill?

Although things get lost in the tumble of so much daily news about this treasonous moron, months ago some of us opined similarly. Someone even wondered if the GOPs could be brought down en masse in a RICO prosecution. I think the party's complicity is what keep them trying to kill this investigation. They care about their own skins far more than they do about Trump's.

Trump needs to end up like Benito Mussolini.

The bonuses were accelerated because their value as a tax deduction was more under the higher 2017 rates than the lower 2018 rates.  I’d bet many people didn’t get more they just got it earlier.

And expect this to follow:

The absence of evidence found by the FBI only proves that the FBI is part of a conspiracy with the Clintons, and 17 angry democrats.  NO COLLUSION!  WITCH HUNT!

Sounds like the FBI is compromised.

One takeaway from all this is Hillary’s private server appears to be more secure than the government’s or the DNC’s.

[Mack Tripper 696]

Flood has a masters and doctorate from UT.

Here’s a fun fact about Flood. He was representing Aubrey McClendon in the criminal antitrust investigation that led to the indictment and Aubrey crashing his natural gas powered Tahoe into a bridge the following day. He’s also a huge douche.

shit man, most public infrastructure is less secure than your fucking facebook account. Police bodycams, public works, voting systems, pretty much every important system that should be more secured, isnt.

[Junior Miller 1,502]

Anyone who wasn't a complete moron took one look at that tax bill and knew it was nothing more than corporate welfare. Unlike previous republican issued corporate welfare it wasn't even hidden.

Malcolm Nance has been beating that drum for nearly two years. Saw a presentation that he made a few weeks ago over his new book on YouTube the other day, scared the shit out of me (when I compared what he said a year ago and his predictions becoming correct) but made a ton of sense as to why Trump and everyone in his circle are behaving the way that they are. This shit is running deep, I expect years of extra indictments from this shit show.

There's also a genuine issue in the government tech sector in that it's really hard to find good programmers who don't/never have smoked weed or taken other drugs. FBI and NSA are massively understaffed because of that, and definitely contributes to our nation's overall dogshit stance on cybersecurity.

McGahn appears to be getting fired in retaliation for 30 hours of interviews with Mueller, even though Trump’s legal team (Cobb/Dowd) allowed it without asserting any privilege.

McGahn has been looking for the exit for a while.  That’s why he brought on Emmett Flood, to replace him. 

I’m surprised he’s hung around this long but from my understanding, he’s the main guy helping with all the judicial appointments inside the WH.
