Perhaps I'm still too lenient, but there has to be something before that clips starts that explains that.

Before?  Like years before?

She's so close to getting it

“They seed hate and teach students that they are starting off behind and have unconquerable disadvantages that they will suffer all their lives,” Blasingame said. “Not only does this teach hate among people, but how could you love a country where this is true?”

Quote from a CFISD board member who voted against teaching kids about Rosa Parks

Just caught the last five minutes of this press conference.  
 

The flat-out lies ("we have virtually no inflation anymore," "groceries are cheap again," etc.) - it's comical.... as bad as any Soviet or North Korean level of dishonesty.  
 

I remember the first week of his 2017 term, and how the media spent a week refuting his "biggest inauguration crowd ever."  It was a huge amount of media coverage for a lie that was pretty inconsequential.  
 

Today he vomits out a whole series of bullshit economic "data," and the news media just moves right along instead of immediately saying "none of that is true."

Apparently the lies won.  I don't know how else to make sense of it.  

I don't really understand what's going on with the media during trump 2.0 but something is rotten in Denmark.

Chris Murphy with 11 posts about the tariffs.
 

The problem with that is that tariff exceptions usually are granted on an industry basis, not an individual business basis.

Trump could try that and maybe will, but I don't think so.

He thinks he's punishing trade partners.

Trump really thinks this is sound economic policy because, as brisket says, he has no conception of mutual benefit; that every transaction has a big winner and a big loser.

But, this is a nice counterbalance to the whole erroneous attempt to rationalize it as the "Mar A Lago Accord."  Trump and rationality just don't go together.

Regressive tax, he thinks it will bring manufacturing jobs and other jobs “back” and it absolutely should not be dismissed as - create a crisis - claim the crisis is from the other guy - declare martial law and save the country from the other guy with a third term - scenarios.

My congressman, John Carter, used to have someone at least answer the phone and take a message that was predictably never responded to. He has suddenly become more relatable in that he now does not have anyone answering the phone and his voicemail is full. What a worthless piece of shit.

He’s mine too… his staff/team used to send out these silly email newsletter (don’t even remember how I got on the list). And the fucking spin they would put on some of the items was ridiculous.

I’m not a legal guy but know of a couple of lawyers at Mckool Smith.  Now I know they work for pussies 

Shocking and appalling.  Mike McKool, no longer affiliated, was from a long line of Dems.

Fulbright complying in advance.  Baker Botts and V/E no moves.  Susman no moves.

Interestingly, Jones Day, who has repped Trump business interests and GOP, no moves.

Edit to add.  Fulbright doesn't use the dreaded DEI, which I suppose is capitulation enough.  But has a pretty robust affinity page. https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-us/about/people-first

She's right that those people shouldn't be in their positions, but it's not due to being disloyal. She likely wants even more unqualified individuals who'll offer no oppositional thought to anything Trump says or does. She's the crazy lady at the City Council meeting or School Board Meeting that everyone knows is nuts and can only shake their heads while she rambles on. No one would voluntarily listen to her if they didn't have to do so. But now, she's graduated to the fucking Oval Office. We are such a joke at this point.

I hope you're right that Trump is just a moron -- and not doing the bidding of really, really bad actors pulling his strings behind closed doors. If it's just the former, we can (hopefully) run the penalty kill for (shudder) four years and re-elect somebody who will start reversing all this shit. If it's the latter, America as we know it is done-zo.

Well, yeah, he's a moron. I guess what I meant is let's hope he's just a moron doing moron things and not a moron being "handled" by evil people who want to destroy America. Is he just Governor LePetomaine -- or are there a bunch of Hedley Lamarrs behind the scenes.
