THE ERA OF TRUMP

[kybkh]

It warms my coal black heart to see that no one is concerned with federal over reach any more.

The single episode isn't so concerning as the precedent we could be setting. Not to mention a marginal chance to start a real insurgency as a response.

Thing is, if Trump goes in there he won't come out a loser. Whatever that may entail.

He's not going to declare martial law over 3* million people. That's too stupid, even for him. Nobody is even going to take it seriously as "an outrageous opener".

We've yet to see his hand called down. His reputation is crucial to his clout.

It is a dangerous gambit. If Trump is going to make a habit of threatening that he is going to bring the ruckus, he has to either eventually bring the ruckus and look like a tyrant, or fail to bring the ruckus and look like a pussy.

That is probably why responsible statesmen don't threaten to bring down the boot of a police state without a really good godamn reason.

Someone get the President on TV to fire this bitch



A senior U.S. Secret Service agent posted Facebook condemnations of President Trump during the past seven months, including one in which she said she wouldn't want to "take a bullet" for him.

She explained herself saying she viewed his presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country, and especially for women and minorities.

Kerry O'Grady, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Denver district, oversees coordination with Washington-based advance teams for all presidential candidate and presidential trips to the area, including all upcoming or future trips by the president, vice president or Trump administration officials.

Fired?

Shouldn't she be prosecuted?

I was under the impression that there was a law barring the Secret Service from engaging in this sort of activity.

The Donald is looking like a Hack on this one:

U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Steven Mnuchin isn’t jumping on the Republican bandwagon to audit the Fed.

Drain the Swamp right?

What, you want to make her a celebrity for the anti-Trumpist opposition? Yep, they would surely want another agency that Trump has a strained relationship. Smart thing would to make her resign.

Stupid thing to make it a bigger thing. Only Trump starting to talk about this would focus more attention to it than an prosecution of one members Facebook page (in a 4 400 person organization).

No brainer.

Now why would a Goldman Sachs guy want to make problems for another Goldman Sachs guy, like William Dudley, who's in charge of the biggest regional Federal Reserve bank and the vice-chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee? Or for Wall Street banks in general?

You let us know when you've found a good reason to intervene,
