I fucking love this President. My 2 faves during my lifetime are Trump and Nixon. They share a lot of similarities and were besieged by the same groups of assholes. No I’m not trolling. Y’all, the lef

Marketplace had a really good segment on Cain's appointment to the Fed Board. It has nothing to do with Cain's knowledge of the economy. It's more about Trump wanting someone on the Fed Board that thinks like he does or will do what Trump wants done which is ridiculously dangerous. Luckily, Cain's only one vote and most of the other board members will probably ignore what he says or recommends.

It just this moment occurred to me that within the next few months, we are going to see the name of the city changed to Trump, D.C.

He won’t stop with the city name. Country, continent, planet, solar system, quadrant, galaxy ...

Onetime George Washington bought space on the jumbotron but Steve Patterson snubbed him in favor of Pepsi Zero and the company that makes those binoculars that aren't really binoculars but flasks that look like binoculars.

Yeah, yeah, Maxine Waters sucks but this was awesome.  Munchkin gets toasted.

 

The next time one of these cock suckers gets "testy" with a House Chairperson, they need to be put in a cell until they learn some fucking manners. Maybe then they will show some respect.

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and suggest that every one of these cocksuckers would behave differently in front of a white male Chairperson.  It's not his fault she was so uppity.

That said, she fucking owned his ass.  He tried to gaslight her into accepting an alternate version of what had just come out of his mouth, and she wasn't having any of it.

Trump administration:  the best people.

You trust Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. I don’t.

While I firmly belief that Kavanaugh's performance at the hearing should have disqualified him, he may not be the partisan hack he portrayed himself as. His majority opinion in DeVries (https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/586/17-1104/#tab-opinion-4067381) this year was really good.  The case dealt with an important defense in asbestos litigation known as the "bare-metal" defense. Some manufacturers would build the "bare-metal" of products that would later have asbestos incorporated to finish the product. Those manufacturers have claimed that they shouldn't be liable for any failure to warn because they didn't actually install the asbestos. The Supreme Court disagreed and said that a manufacturer has a duty to warn when the manufacturer's product requires incorporation of a component that it knows or has reason to know would be dangerous and the manufacturer has no reason to believe the user will realize the dangers.  Ultimately, Kavanaugh sided with individuals over large corporate interests, a move that belies the notion that he is entirely partisan. 

On the other hand, Gorsuch's dissent was scary. He basically rewrites the history of product liability law and completely removes foreseeability's role in both expanding and cabining liability. And he seems to dismiss the idea that a jury could perform the basic task of deciding facts, like determining whether or not the asbestos (or other dangerous component) were required to be incorporated in the final product. 

My point is: Kavanaugh may not be that bad. Gorsuch though. . .

And/or he'll try to put his fat face on our currency. 

That is an astute prognostication.  The only question is whether he shoots for the most ubiquitous bills or his vanity will require him to put himself on new $1,000 or higher denomination bills.  Oh, who am I kidding - he'll just put himself on all of them.

A good friend worked with Gorsuch at a DC law firm.  He swears Gorsuch is a good guy.  My jury remains out.

A lot of people don't understand that someone who is nice to them personally can still be a giant piece of shit.

They really went out on a limb with that expert analysis.

Quote

The Trump administration is considering auctioning off Florida’s coastal waters for oil and gas drilling — and Republicans are warning it could cost the president dearly in Florida in the 2020 election.

An industry lobbying offensive has put it on the cusp of achieving its holy grail: access to the resource-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico. The idea is so politically toxic in Florida that past presidents haven't even entertained it. But behind the scenes, oil and gas interests are appealing to Trump's desire to turbocharge U.S. energy production, including his past openness to drilling off the Florida coast.

Quote

The president and his top advisers haven't yet weighed in on the plan taking shape inside his Interior Department. But giving it the green light would be tantamount to a declaration of war on his second home state, given the uniform opposition from Florida Republicans, including prominent allies like Sen. Rick Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis and others.

“He would have a price to pay for that,” Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), a staunch Trump supporter, told POLITICO.

Quote

Industry representatives have said a plan has been imminent since last fall, but many expect the Interior Department is waiting for the Senate to confirm acting Secretary David Bernhardt to fill the agency's top slot before formally releasing the draft. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed cloture Monday on Bernhardt’s confirmation, teeing up a vote this week.

Multiple oil and gas industry sources told POLITICO that the eastern Gulf, along with the Atlantic coast, are included in the administration’s current five-year off-shore drilling proposal, which hasn’t yet been released. The deliberations surrounding that plan are occurring mostly at Interior between lower-level policy aides who are being lobbied by industry representatives, they said.

Somebody needs to go on TV and say he doesn’t have the balls to do it.

I’m gonna take this as good news. I didn’t really oppose kavanaugh all that much until he acted like a jackass at his confirmation hearing.

Kennedy would have agreed with gorsuch on that opinion because despite his rep as a moderate Kennedy was actual a corporate hack. In fact I think he was the worst judge on the court while he was on it.

Gorsuch on the other hand looks like a complete nightmare.

Floridians are nutbars in numerous ways but they get quite riled up about their coastline and coastal waters, regardless of political persuasion.

That’s a loser for Trump with Florida voters.

Yep, kind of like Louisiana as well. 

Texas not so much.

there was gonna be a time when the collision of business and politics (local/state politics) became a problem that actually cost him.  hopefully this is the beginning of that.

You people with your "hope."

Florida just elected DeSantis governor.  They're ALL-IN on Trumpism.  Cult members don't ever defect.

Trying to keep up here. Windmills cause cancer, are bird killing machines, and decrease property value by 75%, but offshore drilling is ok?

DeSantis has a good chance of losing in 2022.  Heavily losing if Trump’s people push the offshore drilling through.   Floridians are some of the ultimate NIMBYers, particularly when it comes to things that could fuck up the image they’ve cultivated.
