“Kirstjen Nielsen, whose legacy will be the most heartless and lawbreaking immigration policy this nation has known in at least 70 years, wasn’t heartless and lawbreaky enough for Donald Trump, who accepted her resignation Sunday evening so he can move immigration policy in “a tougher direction.”
Hard to imagine what kinds of border moves this foretells. Gotta treat those people worse. Trump thinks they’re all a bunch of criminals anyway, down to the 3-year olds, so I take it what we’ve seen to this point has been pussy-footing.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/kirstj...trump?ref=home |

I note the thread was originally about his candidacy, and he won the race! but these are posters who loathe him, supposedly, but they go on and on most every day against him usually some inanity revolving around some sexual thing. They certainly aren't out organizing or doing the real work of politics posting their daily ugly-meme. I see no reason why Trump won't win again unless the dirty tricks teams do a deep fake video of the pissing incident or some thing. They can't touch him through that weasel Kushner. I really believe, in a gross simplification, that at this point the Dems are the Mexican Cartel's party. The Dems's are paid to ensure the Cartel's #1 product, human trafficking, is not blocked. That to me is the only explanation for why they are so insanely upset about stopping illegal entry in my country. corporate media is used to trigger a small army of social-media indoctrinated snowflakes who don't understand many of the children coming across the border are being trafficked or are repeaters. |

So lemme get this straight: We are now debating/arguing about why we are talking about Trump when a) he is the fucking (incompetent, ignorant, moronic) POTUS, and b) this thread is about him?
Is this forum going insane?

Why Does Trump Want to Debase the Fed?
The tax cut fizzled; send in the clowns! By Paul Krugman Opinion Columnist April 8, 2019 As far as I know, the Federal Reserve — the world’s most important economic policy institution — doesn’t have an anthem. But if it were to adopt one now, the choice would be obvious: “Send In the Clowns.” You see, the Fed’s governing board currently has two vacancies, and Donald Trump has proposed filling those vacancies with ludicrous hacks. If he succeeds, one of our few remaining havens of serious, nonpartisan policymaking will be on its way toward becoming as corrupt and dysfunctional as the rest of the Trump administration. Stephen Moore and Herman Cain are, of course, completely unqualified — I say “of course” because their lack of qualifications is, paradoxically, a key qualification not just for Trump but for the G.O.P. in general. There are plenty of genuine monetary experts with conservative political leanings, some of them quite partisan. But modern Republicans have shown consistent disdain for such experts, perhaps because of a sense that anyone with real expertise or an independent reputation might occasionally be tempted to take a stand on principle. There’s no risk that either Moore or Cain will ever take such a stand. In fact, what seems to have recommended both men to Trump was their evident willingness to completely reverse their policy views when politically expedient. Both were hard-money men during the Obama years, demanding higher interest rates despite very high unemployment. Both have now taken to berating the Fed for failing to print more money in the face of low unemployment — because that’s what Trump wants. That said, there’s a difference between the two men. I wrote about Moore a couple of weeks ago, noting that he has long been a prominent fixture in the conservative movement; he is, basically, a classic right-wing hack who tries (incompetently) to impersonate an economic expert. Cain, on the other hand, is a spam king whose business model involves making his email list available to direct marketers. Put it this way: In recent years Moore has been out there predicting magical results from tax cuts, putting out fake economic numbers, and giving speeches to FreedomFest. At the same time, Cain has been offering a platform for peddlers of get-rich schemes and cures for erectile dysfunction. So it says something about what Trump wants that he apparently sees the two men as equally valuable allies. What does Trump want? His attempted beclowning of the Fed follows, I’d argue, from the fact that his one major legislative success, the 2017 tax cut — which he predicted would be “rocket fuel” for the economy — has turned out to be a big fizzle, economically and, especially, politically. It’s true that U.S. economic growth got a bump for two quarters last year, and Trumpists are still pretending to believe that we’ll have great growth for a decade. But at this point last year’s growth is looking like a brief and rapidly fading sugar high. Meanwhile, the tax cut remains unpopular, partly because few people perceived personal benefits, partly because voters appear to be less concerned about paying too much than with the sense that the rich — the prime beneficiaries of the Trump cut — are paying too little. Some leaders might see such disappointments as reasons to make a course correction. But this is Trump: When the going gets tough, he blames someone else. Everything would have been great, he insists, if the Fed hadn’t thwarted his plans. There’s a good argument to be made that the Fed misjudged the economy’s strength, that it raised interest rates too fast and that the economy would be doing somewhat better if it hadn’t. In fact, it’s an argument I agree with. But that’s not what Trump is saying. He wants the Fed to act as if we were still in a deep depression; he wants it both to cut rates and to resume the emergency policies it pursued — and he denounced — when we had more than twice as much unemployment as we do today. This would, he insists, turn the economy into the “rocket ship” he originally promised. You don’t have to be a gold bug or even an inflation hawk to see these demands as deeply irresponsible. Indeed, they sound a lot like the “macroeconomic populism” that has repeatedly led to economic disaster in Latin America, with Venezuela the latest example. Running the printing presses to fight a depression, as the Fed did after the financial crisis, is prudent and sensible; running them because you refuse to accept the reality that your policies aren’t delivering an economic miracle is different, and always ends badly. Now, even putting both Moore and Cain on the Fed board probably wouldn’t be enough to push America over the monetary edge. And so far, markets don’t seem worried about the potential for runaway inflation. But maybe investors should be worried, at least a bit, by the spectacle of a president who would rather appoint hacks and debase the Fed’s integrity than admit that his policies aren’t working as promised. U.S. policymaking is looking ever more like that of a corrupt third-world regime. And that is bound, sooner or later, to have consequences. |

Gravel is just a distraction. Another white knight, like Sanders...
And certainly seems like a great path to lose 2o2o, if he runs as an independent. He’ll never get the nom, so that’s the only way forward for him. You heard it here first. |

Soooooo, I ask if President Obama sending Vice President Biden to the Ukraine on a 36 hour trip was coincidence or collusion and you call it gibberish? Typical and expected. Soooooo, word is an investigation may soon be focusing on then President Obama NOT USING our spy agencies: NSA, CIA, FBI or the DOJ and went outside the chain of command to use the British spy agency......GCHQ WHY? For surveillance on Candidate Trump and President Elect Trump. Evidently President Obama did so as to be undetected......the same reason Hillary Clinton set up a server in a janitors closet. Soooooo, which one of you are going to be foolish enough to Bla Bla Bla colluding against a Presidential candidate? Months and months of pathetic takes and getting everything completely WRONG! Now we know how and why President Obama was able to declare that the Trump campaign had done nothing wrong......before he left office......before a dime was spent on the Mueller investigation. This is getting so good!!! |

Wow, I'm really disappointed with Barr. He cannot be trusted. He side-stepped questions regarding what Trump has seen of the Mueller report. His summary is a crime. Clearly, he is a Trump stooge.

Our good friend Skuj raises his head out of his hole in the sand to claim Barr is a TRUMP stooge : )
Someone do Skuj a solid and tell him to disconnect his computer because an implosion is coming this next week and I’m afraid he can’t handle it. Hell, by all the silence in this thread over the past couple of days, none of you can handle it! But I’ve been saying all along that the majority of you can’t handle the TRUTH! Sadly, you wouldn’t recognize the TRUTH if it slammed you upside your head. WHY......because the majority of you could care less about the TRUTH. You live in a fantasy land that’s full of lies. But the TRUTH marches on!!! Pelosi Vomit: "How very, very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails," Going off the rails......of the crazy train?? Oh dear Pelosi Vomit, what crazy thing did Barr say? Barr: "I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated." The TRUTH is, the Democrats don’t want anyone exploring wether the surveillance was PREDICATED. Not one Democrat is denying that surveillance occurred! Soooooo why are the Democrats hot and bothered about Attorney General Barr wanting to explore to see if PREDICATE was there? Legal PREDICATE Factual PREDICATE TRUTH is, one of those are REQUIRED to justify the FISA Court issuing FISA Warrants. Another TRUTH......surveilling without proper warrants is SPYING!!! Quote:
