You goofs, I meant separately. Pro-Tip: Mix Fireball with Cream Soda for what I call Cinnamon Roll.

To keep this on topic, is the Democrat in question actually a drunk?

"He put out a statement talking about a project, which was essentially, I guess more or less an option that we were looking at in Moscow. Everybody knew about it. I didn't do the project, I decided not to do the project. So I didn't do. So we're not talking about doing a project. We're talking about not doing a project."

"We were thinking about building a building. I guess we had it in a form, it was an option, I don't know what you would call it. We decided. I decided ultimately not to do it. There would have been nothing wrong if I did do it. If I did do it, there would have been nothing wrong."

"That was a project that we didn't do, I didn't do. That was a project that wasn't done for a lot of reasons. Number one is that, I was really, not that I had to do it, but I was focused on running for President, I wanted that to be my primary focus, not running, or building a building. This was a deal that didn't happen, that was no deal. I mean, if you look, this was an option, I guess, I dunno, I want to be very specific. So, but, in my way of thinking, it was an option that I decided not to do. This was an option, in a form, but here is very simple, we had a position to possibly do a deal to build a building of some kind in Moscow. I decided not to do it. The primaries, and there could have been other reasons, but the primaries, and it was very simple, I was focused on running for President. There would have been nothing wrong if I did do it. I was running my business while I was campaigning. There was a good chance that I wouldn't have won. In which case I would have gotten back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities?"

Did we really spend a few pages trying to make someone who said that you pay for a cheaper way to do something you’re already paying for with the money you’re already using just less seem stupid when this rambling moron is our president?

You do understand it's possible for two or more people to be stupid right?

6 White House officials found in violation of the Hatch Act

[Cannot think of a name]

While impeachment might be off the table, the House Democrats will be taking a cue from Republicans since the 1990s and will have a Advent calendar of subpoenas and investigations counting down to 2020. Bonus points, they won't have to find a bunch of different ways to say "Benghazi" and "emails" to pull it off. Though no doubt staunch supporters or people who are totally not supporters just come to his defense on a regular basis like supporters but said a bad thing once about a suit he wore or something so they're totally not supporters will characterize it as finding 85 different ways to say "Russia."

Anyway. Should be good for another fifteen iterations of this thread at least in the next two years.

True enough. It is a major advantage to them that the single highest qualification for any position in the Trump Administration is being a shady bootlicking sleazebag, they'll have far more to work with than the Republicans who had to spend 4 years just screaming "BEEEENNNGGGHHHHHHAAAAAZZZZZIIIII!!!" at the top of their lungs.

And based on what we've seen so far, the hearings should be a lost more colorful as well, with Trump toadies screaming and crying left and right.

I called it the Benghazi Raindance, picturing the Republicans chanting "Ben-Gha-Zi" repeatedly like they imagined themselves a Native American tribe. Possibly with drumbeats involved.

Alcohol is bad for you but drinking it doesn't make you a bad person.

Also, it's not like drinking is strange among public officials. I'm pretty sure I'd have to be half drunk all the time to deal with all the bureaucracy and politicking.

Trump tried to rescue coal. Instead, coal capacity retirements doubled in 2018

So yeah, looks like the GOP has officially abandoned the coal sector after all.

Trump calls his own defense budget crazy

I am certain that, at some time in the future, President Xi and I, together with President Putin of Russia, will start talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major and uncontrollable Arms Race. The U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year. Crazy!

I think this confirms that, at the very least, Trump doesn't read what he signs.

Maybe he just signs it while shaking his head and saying "Crazy!".

I am hopeful that this will lead to a 75% reduction in defence spending. That would be grand.

Or his authoritarian chums told him it was bad for America to outspend them both combined.

He's just passing the buck on it so he can defend it. "I don't want to spend all that money, it's crazy! But Putin and Xi, Gyna, you know...we gotta...it's a big deal. Who knew this was so complicated aside from everyone?"

I'd rather we didn't leave our allies essentially defenseless in the face of Russian and Chinese aggression, thanks.

Why do you think the Chinese and the Russians are trying to push him to cut the budget?

If the US cut its defence spending by the proposed 75% it would a) still outspend China and Russia combined, and b) that would leave the US with enough money left over to buy a used car for every couple in the US.

Or, you know, only slash the budget 50%. In that case, you will have enough budget to build up infrastructure in the poorest neighbourhoods in the States to finally effectively help prevent crime. Or invest in sustainable energy to create actual sustainable jobs in the US. Or reinvigorate the missions to space and scientific advancements. Or to finally feed those veterans the current defence budget shits out at the end of their run time.
