THE ERA OF TRUMP

Doing what he said he would do.


How will they spin this to prove Trump is Evil.

Well, state-funded propaganda radio said on my commute that he's using a "revocable trust", not a blind one. Said trust has a provision for him to remove money for his 'maintenance, support, and uninsured medical expenses' - basically, whatever he wants.

That check is for 70k. The president is paid $400k/yr plus other allotments. He's throwing pennies to distract from the dollars he's making by putting his family in the white House, and promoting his businesses via Royal Twitter.

It's cool tho, cause he said a bunch of crazy shit to get elected.

If that is true, then the Dems in Congress should be expected to seek impeachment for violating
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8. Are they slacking off, or are you just making up stuff?

"Making up stuff" assumes the capacity to make stuff up.

Thanks for Loon-splaining that to me, the man does what no other President in history has done, give his salary away as he promised, and he's just being dishonest to you.

Loon-splaining!

I've got to pass that one on to a friend of mine (my friend's mom is Richard Madcow's number one friend.)
Thanks, C!

Blackwater founder held secret Seychelles meeting to establish Trump-Putin back channel
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/na ... eakingnews

The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian close to President Vladi­mir Putin as part of an apparent effort to establish a back-channel line of communication between Moscow and President-elect Donald Trump, according to U.S., European and Arab officials.

The meeting took place around Jan. 11 — nine days before Trump’s inauguration — in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean, officials said. Though the full agenda remains unclear, the UAE agreed to broker the meeting in part to explore whether Russia could be persuaded to curtail its relationship with Iran, including in Syria, a Trump administration objective that would be likely to require major concessions to Moscow on U.S. sanctions.

Current and former U.S. officials said that while Prince refrained from playing a direct role in the Trump transition, his name surfaced so frequently in internal discussions that he seemed to function as an outside adviser whose opinions were valued on a range of issues, including plans for overhauling the U.S. intelligence community.

Anonymous claims, officials deny, media speculation, round and round we go

Blackwater please bitch. Wake me up when Black Stone makes the news.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed a repeal of Obama-era broadband privacy rules, the White House said, a victory for internet service providers and a blow to privacy advocates.

Republicans in Congress last week narrowly passed the repeal of the privacy rules with no Democratic support and over the strong objections of privacy advocates.

The signing, disclosed in White House statement late on Monday, follows strong criticism of the bill, which is a win for AT&T Inc, Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications Inc.

The bill repeals regulations adopted in October by the Federal Communications Commission under the Obama administration requiring internet service providers to do more to protect customers' privacy than websites like Alphabet Inc's Google or Facebook Inc.

The rules had not yet taken effect but would have required internet providers to obtain consumer consent before using precise geolocation, financial information, health information, children's information and web browsing history for advertising and marketing.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai praised the repeal in a statement late on Monday for having “appropriately invalidated one part of the Obama-era plan for regulating the internet." Those flawed privacy rules, which never went into effect, were designed to benefit one group of favored companies, not online consumers."

The bolded parts are my highlights but this really does suck. Looks like Trump isn't looking out for that "little guy" by signing this into law.

He hasn't committed a crime. Just a disgusting breach of ethics, so far as I know.
