One of the things that annoys me the most about the Democratic party right now is how the Dems have essentially allowed the Republicans to get away with claiming ownership of the military and veterans. It's a disgusting thing, to insinuate that Democrats hate the military and don't care about veterans, so why the hell Dems haven't made more of a stink about it is beyond me.

I'm seriously waiting for some elected Dem to genuinely get pissed the next time a Republican spews that shit and just goes off about how sick it is for Republicans to act like liberals don't care about veterans.

The, I assume mostly, Sanders delegates at the DNC jeered a medal of honor recipient at the DNC last year. Anyone representing the military was heckled as they were giving their speech.

Yup. And people wonder why the Dems are always attempting to muzzle their far flank in order to win elections.

Trump budget to slash entitlements by $1.7 trillion


Dems need to hammer this home!

That "good news" about student loans is crap. They want to replace all 5 income-based payment plans with one that would raise my payment $500 a month as well as eliminate the promised Public Service Loan Forgiveness. I won't be able to afford it :/

The Trump administration, in a significant escalation of its clash with the government’s top ethics watchdog, has moved to block an effort to disclose the names of former lobbyists who have been granted waivers to work in the White House or federal agencies.

The latest conflict came in recent days when the White House, in a highly unusual move, sent a letter to Walter M. Shaub Jr., the head of the Office of Government Ethics, asking him to withdraw a request he had sent to every federal agency for copies of the waivers. In the letter, the administration challenged his legal authority to demand the information.

Is this something the White House CAN block? Seems like it would defeat the purpose of an office of government ethics.

Edit: Seems like they can.

Trump, always making history: “What we did over the weekend [in Saudi], they say there’s never been anything like it, ever before.”

Yeah the orb was kinda unique.

 

[benjipwns]

Wait, so Iran's reform party basically controls the entire parliament?

Does Khamenei and the Guardian Council know about this?

Trump 'exhausted' three days into first trip abroad as president



Low energy. Sad.

And he still has to visit Israel, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.

She does not have the *stamina* to be president. I have the best stamina of any president in history!

Both VA-D governor candidates have double digit leads over Gillespie at this point and are at 49/50.

Since everything orange turd has said during the campaign was a projection of himself. I guess that means he really will go to jail.

Ouch

Maybe the reason Tillerson is so scared of reporters is that he's actually an idiot?

 

[fantomena]

From r/politicalhumor:

 

[neurosisxeno]

Does Khamenei and the Guardian Council know about this?

They are still very much there, but this is multiple elections indicating the Iranian people want a more moderate government and support the efforts of Rouhani to open trade with western countries. Khamenei is in increasingly poor health and without a strong Islamist presence in the government we could see more power transitioning to the President and Parliament. It's not an overnight change of course, but if things keep moving this way the Ayetollah and GC's days are running out.

His background prior to entering management? Engineering.

Even the competent people in this administration are incompetent because they've been Peter Principle'd into roles they don't fit.

Wilbur Ross says on CNBC: "There was not a single hint of a protester" in Saudi Arabia during Trump's visit.

An amazing accomplishment considering the laws against protesting in Saudi Arabia.

An amazing accomplishment!

Maybe? He is an idiot, totally unprepared to be SoS

Just shows hows liberals don't have the propaganda machine the right has. If Hillary or Kerry have said that it would've been a week's worth of fake outrage with the usual suspects.

This shit is fucked honestly. How we can cow to them over this is so disgraceful.

American cops should have been shooting those bodyguards dead if they laid hands on American citizens on American soil. Not fucking defending them.

Yes he was.

 

[GrapeApes]

Where are people calling Trump weak for allowing this to go unchallenged? If Obama was still President the amount of people lining up to call him weak would be huge. Now other countries know they can bring their goons over here to harass Americans and the President won't give 2 shits.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Could you imagine if somehow all this Trump nonsense has made Thomas reconsider his worldview...


I mean this is a fluke but imagine

 

[balladofwindfishes]

We sure they didn't accidentally mix up Thomas and Kennedy's names? Because it doesn't make sense to me unless that was the case.

Nope. Thomas even had the opinion assignment and gave it to Kagan.
