Politics Trump - What has he done now???

Damn, cock blocked again...
Trump’s Sanctuary Cities Order Blocked by Federal Judge

 

'I thought it would be easier'

O'RLY??
And the past prez' get grayer for no reason other than age...

 

Unfortunately Trump's "lessons" on Universities and the Appeals Court system continues...
Appeal could drag out Trump University settlement

Another morsel for the piranha it keep gnawing on

He hates the course on the 9th

 

A friend of Evil everywhere
Trump keeps praising international strongmen, alarming human rights advocates

Even before his time in politics he was friends with mafia (even mentored and counseled by them)

This is NOT an exaggeration.

I'm for projection of power and some realpolitik
but he favors and admires the grand tyrants.

If Dr. Evil were real...he'd likely want to be allies.

 

He wishes...but I doubt it, he's not smart enough to pull it off.
Even many of the GOP are starting to rebel against him and call him on his shit. (the new budget bridge shows this)
He'll likely get impeached before he gets the chance.
The resistance is building.

The Pentagon is after him now, the CIA, the FBI, Congress...more and more investigations.
The momentum is building.

I'd say in the end, there's going to be a lot of people in jail (him and variety of allies)

 

Well, so far he hasn't shown the inclination to jail people or kill them.
So, unless he starts showing that pattern...
That would be the next transition phase for tyranny

He may be able to get away with jailing "a few" but any bodies start showing up...Americans will freak.
Americans tend to view deaths different than other countries, I've noticed. (except random gun & car deaths, that doesn't phase them)

If another terrorist act happens (or when...but we're not as complacent as before 9/11)
He'll try to increase DHS, DOD and DOJ...he tends to work within the system, except for the WH directly. (that he changes at whim)

What we need to watch for is he's allowing missile systems to be put into countries near Russia (Poland, Romania, etc)
That may trigger another scenario like the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the USSR reacted to missiles in Turkey.
He has a tendency to double-down on stupid. (that's what has me worried...)

Speaking of stupid, who wants to place bets he vetoes the stop-gap bill that has all the things against him and doesn't budget his items??? (like the wall)
And allows the government to shut down...

 

Good question
Nixon resigned before outsted
Then Ford pardoned him before prosecution
So there is no "president". (To use a Trump phrasing").

 

“He doesn’t drink. He doesn’t do drugs. His drug is himself.”

~ Sam Nunberg, a Trump campaign adviser



pretty much says it all...

 

Gods forbid America face a crisis while Trump is in office. This is still relevant: Souter warned of a Trump-like candidate in prescient remarks.

 

President Trump fires FBI Director Comey

Did you expect anything else???

It's almost as if he's running the Nixon play-book.
Frankly, it's been a predictable plot so far.

No subtlety - classic villain moves.

 

Saying "You're fired!" doesn't work well in DC...certainly not like TV
The Daily 202: Firing FBI director Comey is already backfiring on Trump. It’s only going to get worse.

He's hiring a law firm???
Well, that doesn't look good
Might as well say, "I'm not a crook"

 

Trump has a long history of secretly recording calls, according to former associates

Tapes???
The man is definitely using the Nixon playbook
