Trump

[merman]

The tax bill was a fiasco, more than four hundred pages thrust at Senators just a few hours before the vote, filled with crossing outs and handwritten additions.

It passed anyway, paving the way for tax cuts for the rich and even more perks (one that has been identified is tax breaks on private jets).

Hope all those white working-class voters like what Trump is doing for them.
Like the fact the death rate amongst miners is up, with Trump deregulating and reducing the safety levels.

Oh, but they won't lock him up. He's the crack in the investigation. Rather than take the fall and go to prison, he's going to squeal like a stuck pig and give them names.

Oh, I know that. But you have to admire the irony, especially as Flynn was very fond of using that line...

[Little stoned kiwi]

He might go to jail anyway if Trump has time to push the 'No Squealers Act' through office.

*fake news, there is no such petition.

Well, Trump has effectively admitted to obstruction of justice in a tweet, as he said "I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI".

If he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI while he was pressurising its then-Director, James Comey, to drop the investigation, then that's a clear obstruction of justice as he was telling the investigator to drop the investigation of a person he knew to be guilty.

(In addition to the fact that this was just bare-faced lying to corruptly save his own arse. But lying, unto itself, is not a crime, unless you do it in a court of law, of course.)

But, weirdly, I'm sure that Teflon Trump will somehow get away with this and his racist supporters will continue to love him, as he apparently could start shooting, butchering and eating babies in plain public sight - and then tweet about it all - and nothing would probably happen.

Investigation still going

Trump-Russia probe: Mueller 'demands Deutsche Bank data'

Trump now sticking his oar into the Arab-Israeli conflict by claiming everyone should recognise Jerusalem is Israel's capital.

[Cloudane]

He’s got to invite more terrorism somehow now that ISIS is on its knees, in case he runs out of ammunition for his anti Muslim crusade.

[PFVA]

And trying to distract public opinion from the investigation going on in his accounts?

[guythp]

Well, whatever he's done so far at least he's trying to solve the middle east issue

Is that the way to make America Great Again </Kryten>

I suppose now they can change into red alert ... ...

Just to show its not entirely a one way street, Al Franken has resigned from the Senate:

[everklear]

I think Franken resigning was the right thing to do.
It does make me wonder about the cognitive disconnect in 'merica as President Liar is on record talking about committing sexual harassment of his own.

[F-ZeroOne]

Well, I guess the main difference is that Franken went under his own steam, Trump is probably going to have to be shoved, possibly by Shunt from "Robot Wars".

[skab]

The main difference is Trump is sailing under the Republican flag. A Republican could rape a newborn on live television and still remain in power. No problem at all. Just say "I can't remember" and "God bless America" and all is fine.
