I guess he's really getting into distributing funds and using the country's purse without House approval....Time to give out some of our tax dollars to his family.....oh wait.....

I'd bet he will figure out how to skim off what $10 million or so for his personal coffers.

They can not possibly reach around that big fat arse. Who "wipes" for him - Mulvaney? Leningrad Lindsey is always close to him, that would be perfect for him, since he is so short anyway. Wanna bet those two fight for the job?

I won’t post the photoshopped picture of him at one of his golf courses. Partly because it is photoshopped, but mostly because it’s lunchtime here on the east coast.

Funny, isn't that the right, far-right, and alt-right's biggest complaint about the "Obama" nuclear deal already? That they sent Iran a huge pallet of cash? (except, of course, that in that case it was frozen Iranian assets, and not taxpayer dollars as the right would have you believe)

And now Trump's going to -actually- do it with taxpayer dollars? How do the far right manage to get through their day without their heads all just exploding from cognitive dissonance?

It's like if an idiot dug a hole in their yard until he struck a water main. Then with a geyser spouting 15 feet into the air, pushing the dirt back into the hole and taking credit for fixing a terrible leak. It's still worse than when he began.

I'm just guessing here, but I'd imagine that this is about as dangerous, ineffective basis for conducting foreign policy as there could be!

But Trump has repeated the claim as recently as December, when he tweeted: “The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?”

that we were holding since 1979 in order to effectuate the Iran deal from which Trump withdrew citing the billions Obama gave to Iran as some kind of ransom. The Repubics railed against Obama in unison about returning Iran's money. So along comes the world's greatest negotiator and offers Iran a bribe from our Treasury. WTF, Democrats should be shouting from the rooftops.

We need to Get Out The Vote. On 3 Nov 2020.

In numbers so overwhelming that the pussy ass bitch’s challenge will be summarily dismissed. Well before Inauguration Day, 2021.

This means:
• Knocking on doors (and being prepared for slammed doors, unleashed dogs, unholstered firearms, and other threats, or just being ignored);
• Calling strangers (getting blocked or no-answered, being verbally abused or threatened, or worse (unless you block Caller-ID, which increases the blocked or no-answered));
• Helping with voter registration, especially in precincts with low (Dem) voter turnout;
• Driving voters to/from polling places; and
• Otherwise dotting all i’s and crossing all t’s.

Way too much is at stake!
We must be brave. United. And strong.

Shout from the rooftops, if that helps your state of mind. I’m not a mental health provider, but I believe such venting must be followed by concrete action.
