problem is anyone who says anything negative about him is automatically not credible

There is the base, then there were AA who voted for the Donald, the cool dude from NYC.

Yeah, either they're former associates of his or they're people you can find significant dirt on. We're in a time where people are working off separate facts and there's no middle to be had.

Seems like the Trump Admin is stalling on issuing the executive order necessary to implement the 1.9% pay raise for Federal employees that was included in the FY19 budget legislation he signed into law.

Nothing surprises me at this point but this is really petty and passive aggressive.

He probably doesn't want to sign an executive order contradicting the one he issued to freeze employee pay last year. I don't think he is legally obligated to implement the 1.9% pay increase.

yeah, it's pretty obvious that he's describing trump as he has always appeared to be. But there are those who reject reality and will continue to do so.

So, does Trump have a path similar to what HW did during the Iran-Contra investigation where he can just preemptively pardon a bunch of people or has that avenue been shut down?

POTUS cannot pardon anyone convicted by the state.

Was just about to post this exact thing (probably would have said GOP because I’m lazy). They think it’s such a slam to be like THE PRESIDENT EMPLOYED A SLEAZY LIAR FOR 10 YEARS!
