Surprise surprise..The Treasury Inspector General has opened a probe into Trump's" "opportunity zones" which was part of his tax overhaul plan which gave tremendous tax brakes to those investors willing to invest in designated areas.
As expected this has benefited billionaires & political donors in areas not designated under this plan like Jared Kusnher.
When this program was announced, I stated in a previous thread this would happen because Jared was negotiating for some beach side property in Long Branch, NJ which was his 4th property of this nature.
This farker has also bought property in Brooklyn that overlooks the skyline of Manhattan where prices are already in the millions under this program.
This is further proof to the Trump Party that Trump's tax plan enriches the wealthy much more than the average Joe.

Larry Kudlow was asked about Trump’s complaints that American companies are not allowed to bribe people overseas, and if the administration has a view on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which makes bribes illegal: “We are looking at it and we have heard some complaints from our companies.”
How about saying it's a ridiculous idea & not under consideration.

Politifact and other fact checkers rated false Trump's claim that he is protecting healthcare for pre-existing medical conditions. Actually, he is working to take away healthcare by sabotaging obamacare which provides protection. His administration joins a lawsuit to strike down obamacare without a better replacement plan. Risk is that over 130 million Americans could be discriminated against according to Kaiser family foundation.
Trump's sabotage of obamacare can lead to millions of Americans losing insurance coverage. This breaks a 10-years streak of rising numbers of insured Americans. Without insurance, paying high medical bills is harder. Tragically, medical bills are a common cause of bankruptcy. According to Consumer report, obamacare helped to reduce personal bankruptcies by 50%.
Under Trumpcare, deaths due to lack of insurance are increasing. But obamacare saved lives according to New England journal of medicine. Almost 50,000 preventable deaths annually from 2010 to 2016. Insurance encourages more people to get primary care. Whereas uninsured people use expensive emergency care as a subtitute which increases costs for everyone.
According to Congress budget office, obamacare helped to slow increasing costs. However national healthcare costs are rising faster under Trump. According to Urban institute, cutbacks in reimbursements forced insurers to raise premiums when fewer healthy people are subsidizing sicker people. According to Journal of American medical association, Trump's legacy may be lower life expectancy in US population.

NEW: The top Russia expert on Trump’s National Security Council, Andrew Peek, has left his post, just a couple months into the position. That’s the Fiona Hill, Tim Morrison, Russia/Ukraine job. Peek was escorted from WH on Friday.

Fox and Friends showed a semi close up of 'crazy' Nancy's bullet pens used to sign off on the Articles of Impeachment. Amazing she can use the 'bullet's pens but the Washinton NBA franchise (Unseld,Hayes, Chenier) had to change it's name from the Bullets to the Wizards. Impossible to make this up!

Even before becoming president, Trump has a history of corrupt business practices breaking laws. If American companies are allowed to bride foreign governments, then foreign companies can bride US government too. But this violates US constitution. Obviously, Trump administration is among the most corrupt in US history. In future Cspan survey of historians, Trump probably ranks among the worst presidents such as Andrew Johnson. Both impeached presidents rank low in moral authority and pursuit of equal justice for all.

A federal judge temporarily suspended a new Trump administration policy that allowed state and local authorities to opt out of receiving refugees, concluding that the policy would likely be found to be illegal.

The new book available Tuesday named "A Very Stable Genius" will reveal how Trump treated his Generals & others in his administration, his lack of knowledge regarding the history of our country, his abject narcissism and how truly ignorant the man is.

Pressed on whether it was appropriate for Trump to ask Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said on ABC's "This Week" that the president is a "human" and that "things happen."
Gutless farking Trump Party apologists! Try this...
"Your Honor, while true I killed my wife, remember I'm human and things happen."

Worse, Shelby refused to acknowledge that Trump had actually asked for China’s and Ukraine’s intervention in the 2020 election (as he did with Russia in 2016). This was another instance of cult-like GOP behavior in which no wrongdoing by Dear Leader is admitted.
The GOP "We believe Trump as long as the Russian checks clear."

Joe diGenova is saying Giuliani and Toensing canceled their trip to Kyiv because the US embassy threatened to block their visas but Americans don’t need visas to visit Ukraine.
What a lying sack of shit.
Americans don't need a visa unless they plan to stay moe than 90 days.
None of these farkers tell the truth. They know they can lie & the Trump Party will accept anything as truth.
KC game starting. Looks cold there!

The intersections between Trump Inc. and President Trump are everywhere.
A Chinese state-owned company was awarded a multi-million contract to help develop a Trump golf course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, amid a U.S.-China trade war.
This is from the POS who claims to put America first. Couldn't an American company build the golf course?
Will this course provide Huawei 5G network services?
And The Trump Party Shrooms keep slopping up his bullshit.

The Democrat Party in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia are working hard to take away your 2nd Amendment rights. This is just the beginning. Don’t let it happen, VOTE REPUBLICAN in 2020!
This is more bullshit spewed by Trump. The Democratic Party does not want to take away guns from responsible owners.
Stop buying into his lies.

Sacramento Bee on Devin Nunes: "Regardless of whether you lean Democratic or Republican, here’s an undeniable fact: Nunes lied to the American people and his own constituents about the Ukraine allegations, dismissing them although he knew they were true."
"He deliberately misled the American people by trying to undermine impeachment hearings that examined an anti-Biden effort in which his own office had direct involvement" "(And if Nunes didn’t know what Harvey was up to, why hasn’t he fired his aide?)"
"Nunes has betrayed the truth, betrayed the trust of voters and, quite possibly, betrayed our country. We don’t know where this new evidence will lead, or what fate has in store for Nunes, but we do know this: The people of his district deserve better"
Have to wonder why Kevin McCarthy hasn't replaced Nunes on the committee.
Time for Cali to show Nunes the door.

I suppose the thousands of idiots in Virginia with guns and urban commando costumes all got the day off from their highly skilled and big paying jobs since we are told Trump supporters are only the best, brightest and hardest workers in the land.
Happy MLK Day!

A federal judge temporarily suspended a new Trump administration policy that allowed state and local authorities to opt out of receiving refugees, concluding that the policy would likely be found to be illegal.
This lawsuit is a victory for resettlement agencies. When the executive branch issues illegal orders, the judicial branch has the right to block them in system of checks and balances. Trump's order is unconstitutional because federal government (not states and municipalities) has authority over immigration policy. Recently, customs immigration employees union has filed a lawsuit arguing Trump's policies are illegal and immoral. According to Center for public integrity, Trump administration often loses vast majority of lawsuits. Unlike past presidents who are more successful and normally win most cases.

While having breakfast with my wife, she asked me when I realized Trump was going to be a problem. I thought about it & remembered something he said after he became the nominee.
"Only, I can fix it."
At first I thought this guy has to be kidding but quickly learned it was going to be his way or the highway, as people were being hired & fired at a rapid pace. Many he hired were ill equipped for their positions while others got positions because they were big donors or kissed his ass. I got really pissed when he made his buddies from Mar A Lago responsible for the Veterans Administration. He never had me as a supporter but after this move I realized he had to go.
I did a little research on his "only I can fix it" comment. The entire comment went like this...."I am your voice. I will be a champion, your champion. Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it."
Our country was mad at Washington because of their inability to get anything done about jobs, high drug prices and our roads/bridges. I'll admit Trump is an expert at messaging. He has the ability to tell people what they want to hear. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the demeanor or ability to work with others & as a result most of his promises have not been kept.
His voice was heard by Americans who have not reaped the benefits of Wall Street & humiliated by the global marketplace where they didn't have the training or skills in which to participate. Public trust in government was at a low & Trump took advantage by engaging the part of the country that had been left behind in their minds.
If the economy remains strong, there's a good chance Trump will be reelected. I don't want that to be the case because of the many reasons I've noted throughout this thread. The next 9 months or so will determine if we are again are viewed as the leader of the free world or continue on the path to remain the laughingstock our country has become across the globe.

Trump, at Davos said: - The possibility of our troops suffering traumatic brain injury in the Iran strike wasn’t a big deal because they just “had some headaches.”
The Trump family has no record of military service covering 5 generations.
He's so farking ignorant.

POTUS, VPOTUS and Speaker Pelosi are all out of the country on separate trips. President Pro Tempore of the US Senate, Chuck Grassley, is the highest ranking US official currently in the US. He’d be next in line, should a crisis occur.
YIKES!

The White House commented for the first time on the U.N. report tying the Saudi crown prince to the hack of Jeff Bezos's phone. “Saudi Arabia is obviously an important ally," Hogan Gidley says. "I don’t have any more information than that. Obviously we take this situation seriously.”
What a crock!

Trade experts are underwhelmed by Trump's trade deal. It falls short of justifying a globally damaging trade war according to Peterson institute of international economics. Unclear if Trump gains anything in trade deal according to Council for foreign relations. Alot of pain for very little gain. Trump lost the trade war according to nobel economist Klugman.Some of its provisions are vague and some are unachievable according to Brookings institution. Purchase guarantees are questionable. Chinese officials say they will buy US goods based on market demand. Provisions to hold China accountable for forced technology transfers are anemic according to Berkeley research group. Some of the changes agreed to were changes already in the works or previously agreed upon long ago. No dispute resolution for third party arbitration except for tariffs. Unfortunately, this deal means higher prices for American businesses and consumers.
