The “fruits” of trump pulling out of the Iran deal;
iran building nukes again
putin is proud of his “asset”
NY state Senate passes bill allowing Congress to get Trump tax returns
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has pledged to sign the legislation, which covers the president's state filings, if it reaches his desk.
The bill would amend state law to permit the state Department of Taxation and Finance commissioner
to release any state tax return requested by the leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation for any "specific and legitimate legislative purpose."
Existing laws generally prohibit such a release.
The bill would only apply to Trump's state returns
and not the federal ones currently at the center of a battle between the House and the Treasury Department.
But those returns would provide a trove of information as New York serves as the headquarters of the president's business and which has served as his home.
the tax filings are likely to contain much of the same information congressional lawmakers are seeking from his federal returns.
"The state return should generally match the federal return and
obtaining it from New York State will enable us in Congress to perform our oversight function and maintain the rule of law,"

Iran isn't building nukes again.
Quite the reverse: Iran is still in compliance with the JPCOA.
85 percent of people have not changed their minds about trump since 2016
Trash plans to hurt Iran more for increasing their heavy water production, just because he can.
Let's see if Trash starts sanctions against USA allies who are still doing business with Iran.

Didn't Trash say in 2015 that he was so rich. $10B?, that he didn't need donors, he would finance his own campaign and not be indebted to BigDonor?

The Crowd Started Leaving Halfway Through Trump’s Florida Rally
The New York Times reported:
The president cycled through a familiar list of rally topics, like a border wall with Mexico and the support of Democrats for late-term abortions.
But it was a discursive performance, even by Mr. Trump’s standards, and the mood was notably less electric than at some of his other rallies.
The crowd began straggling out during the latter half of the speech, to the sound of helicopter engines being warmed up in a nearby field.
Mr. Trump twice complained about the stage — where he stood under a giant banner that read “Make America Great Again” —
saying that the floor was so slippery that he wondered if it had been set up by the Democrats.

The White House revoked my press pass. It’s not just me — it’s curtailing access for all journalists.
I was part of a
mass purge of “hard pass” holders
after the White House implemented a
new standard that designated as unqualified almost the entire White House press corps,
including all seven of The Post’s White House correspondents. White House officials then chose which journalists would be granted “exceptions.”
The move is perfectly in line with
Trump’s banning of certain news organizations, including The Post, from his campaign events and his threats to revoke White House credentials of journalists he doesn’t like.
Trump’s elimination of briefings and other changes have devalued White House coverage anyway. But there’s
something wrong with a president having the power to decide which journalists can cover him.
Now, virtually the entire White House press corps is credentialed under “exceptions,”
which means, in a sense, that they all serve at the pleasure of press secretary Sarah Sanders because they all fail to meet credentialing requirements — and therefore, in theory,
can have their credentials revoked any time they annoy Trump or his aides,
the victims hurt most were freelance camera operators and technicians who now could lose their livelihood.
More important is that the White House is drastically curtailing access for all journalists.
Briefings have been abolished in favor of unscheduled “gaggles” ( on the record, but impromptu and haphazard) in the White House driveway. The Pentagon and State Department have done similarly.
The White House has also restricted access by allowing only one journalist from a news organization at most events, and
by admitting journalists to events only if they register days in advance.
This has sharply reduced journalists’ attendance at the White House — just in time for the 90-day attendance purge.

50 US coal power plants shut under Trump
The Sierra Club counted
50 closures,
along with 51 announcements of closure,
since Trump was sworn into office in January 2017.
The numbers are distinct because it sometimes takes years between an announcement and the actual shuttering.

DEEP STATE COUNTERREVOLUTION
Under Barr, how did this ever get started?
it's like the 1960s all over again, only this time liberals are socially reactionary and the conservatives are the free-thinking, transgressive radicals.
Dunno.
Might have started under Barr's predecessor, if there really is an investigation.
Holy , what a bunch of incompetent dorks

Trump Tells The Boston Red Sox That
Lincoln Lost The Civil War
Trump
"is a pretty good raconteur of history and he did say that, uh—
he was talking about Abraham Lincoln losing the war and said
‘Well, I know you guys have lost a game or two, but this was a war.’”
Questions about Trump’s mental state grow
Trump did call himself a student of history, but what is uncertain is what kind of history Trump is studying.
Donald Trump invents history just like he created his own mythology and business success.
Lincoln did not lose the Civil War. Lincoln didn’t lose any war. Lincoln didn’t lose the Spanish-American War, The War of 1812, or World War II.
Accounts like these if true, raise concerns that
Trump is not mentally lucid.

Shutting coal plants bad now.
Could it be that natural gas is cheaper?
Trash ran "loving" coal, Big Clean Coal. He's done nothing to stop the death of coal energy.
Trump’s frustrated lawyers see their legal advice go down the drain every time the president gets tips from Fox News hosts
President Donald Trump believes that what he hears over public airwaves on Fox News is smarter legal advice than any attorney could provide
White House counsel Pat Cipollone is currently directing Trump’s legal strategy —
at least, that is, until he turns on cable news.
“Trump has been watching Fox News and other coverage of congressional efforts to obtain the parts of Mr. Mueller’s report that were redacted by Mr. Barr, people close to him said,”

After that campaign, if you thought DJT was mentally straight and totally compos mentis, you must not have been watching carefully.
We knew he wasn't all there at the time of election. DJT's not going to be removed a moment before he's physically incapable of doing his job.
Nice to see his propensity to make up is still robust, perhaps it's a sign of rude good heath.
and while it's a truism that Lincoln won the war, his successors lost the peace.
the defeated are still fighting the Feds and ing up America.
Also applies to Repugs, for decades
Trump Is Terrible for Rural America
His biggest supporters are his biggest victims.
Rural America is a key part of Donald Trump’s base.
In fact, rural areas are the only parts of the country in which Trump has a net positive approval rating.
But they’re also the biggest losers under his policies.
In practice almost all of his economic agenda has been G.O.P. standard:
big tax cuts for corporations and the rich
while hacking away at the social safety net.
The one big break from orthodoxy has been his protectionism, his eagerness to start trade wars.
And all of these policies disproportionately hurt farm country.
The Trump tax cut largely passes farmers by, because they aren’t corporations and few of them are rich.
poor farmers actually saw a slight tax increase.
the assault on the safety net is especially harmful to rural America, which relies heavily on safety-net programs.
Of the 100 counties with the highest percentage of their population receiving food stamps, 85 are rural,
The expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, which Trump keeps trying to kill, had its biggest positive impact on rural areas.
Safety-net programs bring purchasing power, which helps create rural jobs.
Medicaid is also a key factor keeping rural hospitals alive;
without it, access to health care would be severely curtailed for rural Americans in general.
Trump’s recent rage-tweeting over trade, which raised the prospect of an expanded trade war, sent grain markets to a 42-year low.
Why, then, do rural areas support Trump?
rural voters are far more hostile to immigrants
Rural voters also feel disrespected by coastal elites
support for Trump might nonetheless start to crack if rural voters realized how much they are being hurt by his policies.
