WTF HOW CAN YOUR FORMER ROMMATE ABUSE THE WORD 'LITERALLY' LIKE THAT

We all have rom to grow.

Rep. Brian Sims of Philadelphia filmed himself yelling at a woman protesting outside of Planned Parenthood which is weird. And the weirder, posted it online.

Incredible and ironic. Sims calling out a protester for shaming and judging the clinic's clients by, well, shaming and judging the woman. We did learn that he loves the word "disgusting". Well, the only thing disgusting in that video was a 40 year old politician harassing and bullying a 65 year old woman who, as Sims points out several times, was simply exercising her right to protest. While I agree with his sentiment, I completely disagree with his methods.

Mcgahn not complying with subpoena because trump doesn’t want him to? WTF throw his ass in jail

interesting twist since this information is more or less already been presented to the report. Invoking privilege over evidence of potentially committing crimes.

“The White House records remain legally protected from disclosure under longstanding constitutional principles, because they implicate significant executive branch confidentiality interests and executive privilege,” Cipollone wrote to Burck on Tuesday. “For these reasons, the Acting Chief of Staff to the President, Mick Mulvaney, directs Mr. McGahn not to produce these White House records in response to the committee's April 22 subpoena.”

I guess Annie Donaldson is next to have privilege draped over her.

Whatever, fuck these people who do this outside planned parenthood. Get a hobby you old bat. They deserved to be yelled at.

This is assuming she was doing more than just standing outside with a rosary praying, which it appears she did.

Dow is in a tailspin, thanks to Trump's trade war. But you wouldn't know it looking at the fox news website.

I guess the play is that the WH and the administrators and sycophants in the House and Senate do not understand the job of the House and Senate as they are hung up on the idea that this is not legislation. Clearly legacy members of the House and Senate have no idea that their jobs are legislation since they have not really engaged in that in a dozen or more years.

It's down barely 2 %. Like I said, going after the Markets would be a terrible strategy for the democrats when attacking Trump. There is so many things you can do to manipulate them into your favor when you want to.

Donald Trump paid no income taxes in 8 of the 10 years we examined. His losses were so big that in 1991 they accounted for fully 1% of all business losses declared that year by individual American taxpayers. w

The New York Times got a hold of 10 years worth of Trump's tax returns. Included in that is the year the art of the deal came out, that was his best year where he only lost a couple million dollars. In that 10 year. He lost more than a billion.

The early reporting would agree that Congress and the u.s. citizens will not be able to understand it because apparently the income is from bizarre places. 50 million one year from interest that never showed up before and never after. Stuff like that probably get you audited

There are going to be a lot of people who will admire Trump even more based on this news.

Wait until they start comparing him to John Hancock.

Just an every man. Lost over a billion dollars, mostly of other people money that he seemed to somehow keep borrowing; lived a life of a scam, that many people knew was true; might have had his greatest income from NBC; and has income from unknown places. While all that was going down his dad was profitable.

The damning letter by the hundreds of prosecutors, now the tax information. What will happen with Mueller and/or McGahn testifying? Will this steady drip, drip ever get to the point where it changes the views of Republican senators? That’s the key.

Doubt it, and it won't change the Republican voter's view either probably

Is this still a serious question? Nothing will happen to his presidency.
