    The ironic thing being the house dems have been passing tons of bills. It is the senate that is sitting on everything.

    The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306. Get a better candidate this time, you’ll need it!

    We're starting to see more of his real personality come through his tweets. IIRC, he usually doesn't include much profanity in his lies tweets. Seeing "bullshit" in all caps is interesting in regards to his rapidly deteriorating mind/residency.

    He is complaining about do nothing democrats, for seeking impeachment, because Trump used his time as president to ask foreign leaders for election help... instead of doing what is best for the country.

    Edit: if Trump is so confident in his win, why is he and his cronies traveling the world asking for favors in the election?

    So much for America First, right? Trump can't find anyone in America to help, so he's outsourcing overseas.

    Cause he can't say "My win was bigger than Obama's" without laughter and instant proof that he's lying.

    He NEEDS that.

    @Breccia

    A quick question, that 1%GDP that GM brings, does that include all their parts and materials suppliers?

    That's actually all automaking, not GM specifically. However,
    1) yes it includes parts that are used, and
    2) GM is about one-sixth of the US auto market, which means they're responsible for roughly 0.20% to 0.25% of the US GDP because of how foreign cars are made using foreign parts, even if they're assembled here. That is napkin math and I'm not super sure about it, but it can't be much lower or higher.

    Interestingly, Trump only seems to be specifically denying the reports about the moat/alligators...not the reports that he wanted CBP to shoot migrants in the legs.

    Have you heard Rudy talk? Like out loud? Seems pretty much like the same thing, in text form.

    Anyway, I am skeptical too, same thing with the ditch full of alligators. The problem isn't that it is unbelievable, it is just so inanely irrelevant to anything, and I am quite confident that literally everyone involved is lying. Random white house staffers leek so much, that it is highly probable that they are just making up crap to grab headlines at this point.

    Of course Rudy and Trump are both stupid enough that these stories could be absolutely true, we just don't know. Either way it doesn't matter, we need to refocus on the actual crimes, not the circus acts.

    So Pelosi had a press conference in which she brought up NAFTA 1.0.0.2 as well as drug pricing.

    The American people want us to do that. If the president is saying 'if you question my actions I can't agree on any subject,' then the ball is in his court
    Naturally, Trump tweeted.

    Nancy Pelosi just said that she is interested in lowering prescription drug prices & working on the desperately needed USMCA. She is incapable of working on either. It is just camouflage for trying to win an election through impeachment. The Do Nothing Democrats are stuck in mud!
    Time for a tiebreaker.

    In a far departure from all of the work and results of this President, House Democrats have destroyed any chances of legislative progress for the people of this country by continuing to focus all their energy on partisan political attacks. Their attacks on the President and his agenda are not only partisan and pathetic, they are in dereliction of their Constitutional duty.
    Yep, that's the WH press secretary last week, and as such, the official WH word that working with the WH is "destroyed".

    Point goes to Pelosi. *ding*

    Also, Trump tweeted from the couch while Pelosi faced reporters in person. Point goes to Pelosi. *ding*

    Axios reports more bad news for the NRA.

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Fi--
    Wait, what the fuck?

    (checks article twice)

    I mean...that's what it says...

    and Finance Committee chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Wednesday formally requested that the IRS investigate the National Rifle Association for potential violations of tax law related to its interactions with Russian nationals.

    A report by Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee alleged that the NRA acted as a Russian asset in 2016 by offering a promise of access to elected U.S. officials in exchange for business deals. The revelations raise questions about whether the NRA could lose its tax-exempt status, as tax exempt organizations are not allowed to use funding to personally benefit their officials or for actions significantly outside their stated mission.
    Damn. Now the Russians won't be able to deduct their contributions to the NRA.
