So, going WAY out on a limb here, it's possible that Trump was pushed by advisers to do the worst he possibly could in pressing the limits of Presidential power. Essentially seeing what a total fucking idiot and his co-conspirators could get away with. Then the GOP can put someone smart in there (the EC is still the GOP's only path to the White House, and they can game the shit out of it) and royally fuck this country.
I mean, it's still beyond insane what Trump has been allowed to get away with, on an almost daily basis, but the willfully ignorant GOP. They just turn a blind eye to all Trump's illegal shit.

Again, the GOP is sending out fake Census-esque fundraising letters. This isn't the first time it's happened.

Why do Republicans want to trick their own voters?

So not only has there not been 14M jobs added to the economy by Ivanka (since only 6M jobs in total have been added since Trump took office), but Ivanka doesn't even know what the fuck she's doing on the policy board she co-chairs.
She claims the group has added over 6M new jobs but...there's no data to support that. What there is data to support is that they, in partnership with companies, offer training for 6.5M jobs.
So she's gone from "millions" to "almost 10 million" to "14 million" this year alone.
So, Trump lied in his written answers, that he and his 2 shitty lawyers Sekulow and Guiliani helped him on? Who could have seen that coming? There was a reason he didn't answer them all, and another reason that he wouldn't answer questions in person. Because he would have added another charge to his impeachment, perjury.

I liked the one reply on another thread calling him Pee Wee Himmler. It was kinda funny.
Sen. Chris Murphy: "If you allow for a president of the United States to use the massive power that is given to him or her in their office to try to advance their own personal interests or their financial interests, then we really aren't a democracy any longer."
Not entirely surprising. And wasn't it his idea for the concentration camps? This article suggests it is, with Kierstjen Nielsen. https://www.esquire.com/news-politic...ilities-trump/
I'm sincerely hoping that the public leaking of these emails will generate enough bad press that Trump loses interest in protecting Miller.
Not just because I want Miller out of the WH, but also because it'll generate further hostility against Trump from elements of the far right.

They found another confirmed instance of voter fraud! Trump was right all alo...
Damnit, not another Republican voting multiple times.Chong Yen has said Bell, a registered Republican, was aware that Florida’s gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races were tight and that he was more interested in them.
The real kicker here is that the defense doesn't dispute this dude did it, but argued that it shouldn't be treated as a felony level offense because of, to quote the article "a political climate where politicians have made claims of widespread voter fraud and a “rigged” election system when they don’t win."
Basically a tacit admission that repeatedly pushing conspiracy theories can and does have negative real world consequences.

Apparently this moron, did what Trump did, made a fake Time cover to get hired by Trump. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...cover-n1080356
The fake Time cover makes sense for Trump, he has tons of fake Time covers with himself on it.
But lying about getting a degree from Harvard? Made up a role for herself on a UN panel? Claimed she address RNC/DNC at conventions?
Only. The. Best. People.
Shit, she wouldn't have been hired at the fucking small company I work at with lies like that. They at least bother to call and verify things like former employment.
