The Trump Presidency 14

At this point, I have little respect for rural Americans (the majority of which voted for Stubby McBonespurs.) So, I always like hearing about this sort of thing:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...telecom-giant-huawei-could-cut-rural-n1010311
Trump's ban on Chinese telecom giant Huawei could cut off rural Americans' cell service... These small telecom companies now face billions of dollars in costs or the end of their businesses entirely after the Trump administration effectively banned the Chinese company last week over spying accusations. It is a prospect that could leave vast swaths of rural America with no cell service.

In order to address the issue:
...a bipartisan group of senators proposed legislation that would create a pool of $700 million to help local carriers replace their technology.

Hmmm... I thought Republicans were against government subsidies.

Admittedly, there may be issues that Huawei that do need to be addressed, but I don't think Trump is the person to do it.

Anyone associated with the 1994 Crime Bill will not have a chance of being elected. In particular, African Americans will not be ble to vote for you. I, on the other hand, was responsible for Criminal Justice Reform, which had tremendous support, and helped fix the bad 1994 Bill!....

....Super Predator was the term associated with the 1994 Crime Bill that Sleepy Joe Biden was so heavily involved in passing. That was a dark period in American History, but has Sleepy Joe apologized? No!

Wait, "will not be [a]ble to vote for you"? Would that be due to active voter suppression or is it just that people simply not wanting to vote for someone is such a foreign concept to him.
 
In this week's episode of "Trade Wars Are Easy To Win", China decides to carry a big stick....


With the U.S.-China trade war intensifying, Chinese state media last week began floating the idea of banning exports of rare-earth elements to the United States, one of several possible Chinese responses to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to jack up tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods and blacklist telecoms maker Huawei.

Wiki:
Australia and Chile are the world's top lithium producers, while Bolivia holds the largest potential resources. Argentina completes South America's so-called lithium triangle. China, meanwhile, is also a significant producer. Together, these five countries account for most of the world's lithium supply.

Is Donny REALLY SURE he wants to piss us off with his blather about trying to blame us for the Mueller investigation? And China has a lever to pull as well.

...This is absurd.


And exceedingly dangerous, given Barr's history. That's bearing in mind that everything that Barr declassifies related to Russia is going right to the Russians, one way or another, and could easily get our assets there killed.

Really they should have known better than to trust the US. Valery Plame being clear that giving up agents for a political agenda is always high on republican lists of things to do.
 
Trump tweets:

Spoke with @GovStitt of Oklahoma last night from Japan because of the devastating tornadoes. Told him that @FEMA and the federal government are fully behind him and the great people of Oklahoma.

But here is the reality:

From: https://www.forbes.com/sites/dennis...ists-and-slash-tornado-research/#607c22533f1b
The president’s proposed budget for 2020 makes more than $75,000,000 in cuts to the National Weather Service that, if passed, could adversely affect the agency’s ability to keep the public safe during severe weather.
...
The budget also proposes the end of VORTEX-SE, a tornado research program aimed at helping meteorologists better understand how and why thunderstorms in the southeastern United States produce tornadoes.

I was actually sticking up for Sleepy Joe Biden while on foreign soil. Kim Jong Un called him a “low IQ idiot,” and many other things, whereas I related the quote of Chairman Kim as a much softer “low IQ individual.” Who could possibly be upset with that?

Donny, he called YOU a “low IQ idiot”.

ETA: Just realised that the punctuation and wording of Donny's post is correct and complex. So it's not him on the tweety phone.

Because Trump understands weather better than anybody. No need to have these expensive scientists studying it when you can just ask him.

Trump also understands BMs and loves studying them for texture and flavor and olfactory pleasure!

The give-away is the use of "whereas". If someone says that around Trump, he and Junior and Eric go all giggly....


"Where Ass? There ass!" Durr Hurr. "Eric made a funny, paw!"

So someone is trying to cover for Trump's ass? That makes sense, they're some pretty low IQ people working for Trump, 'they probably are, based on Trump's record.' :p


But look: Kim was just copying what Trump had already said back in March.

NYP: Trump calls Biden ‘another low I.Q. individual’ after 2020 slip

I think that when he loses, he'll just quit, go to Mara Lago and make angry tweets for the rest if his presidency. I doubt he'll have the courage to attend the inauguration. He will probably order the Executive to not work with the transition team.

I disagree. Revenge is sweet dessert for Dump. As I've stated before, the period between his loss and the inauguration the next January could be a very bad time for the USA.

The original translation was incorrect. In Korean, grammatical standards are the reverse of what we use in English.

So instead of saying "One individual -- low-IQ idiot", Kim had said
"Idiot low-IQ -- Individual One."

Even Fox News is calling out Donnie for bashing Biden via Kim Jong Un. This is from Media Buzz host Howard Kurtz:
When North Korean media, in a slur attributed to the Dear Leader, said Biden is a "fool of low I.Q.," Trump couldn't resist. The president tweeted that he "smiled" when he heard that, adding: "Perhaps that's sending me a signal?"...I really don't care about the views of the Democratic front-runner from a man who kills his domestic rivals.

Leaders who have rivals murdered aren't good people. Donnie actually has to have this pointed out to him? :(
 
Ah, and now McConnell says he'd confirm a SCOTUS judge during an election year. He even says outright that it was simply to get political points, back in 2016.

Republicans cannot allow themselves to again lose the Senate seat in the Great State of Alabama. This time it will be for Six Years, not just Two. I have NOTHING against Roy Moore, and unlike many other Republican leaders, wanted him to win. But he didn’t, and probably won’t.....

...If Alabama does not elect a Republican to the Senate in 2020, many of the incredible gains that we have made during my Presidency may be lost, including our Pro-Life victories. Roy Moore cannot win, and the consequences will be devastating....Judges and Supreme Court Justices!
 
So what will Trump do in his second term, aside from naming judges that will overturn Roe v Wade?
He can't justify rallies. But he also will go nuts if he has no access to the 40% that are supporting him or paid to show up at rallies. He will be like ET, alone from his tribe.

He can do rallies. There will be Republicans seeking election or re-election during any second term and I suspect he’d hold a rally for a dog catcher position if it mean a hundred MAGA hats show up to gush over him.

Yes, and he said it with a poo eating grin on his face. He is scum, just like the rest of the elected Republicans.
