So few people want to work at the White House that it's advertising at a job fair
The “Conservative Partnership Ins ute” is hosting the fair,
which top White House personnel managers plan to attend.
[Advertising for the event] promises that “representatives from across the Trump administration will be there to meet job seekers of every experience level.” [...]
“There are positions currently open and
we are looking for the most competent conservatives
to recommend,” the flyer, shared with POLITICO, reads.
Is “competent” really the first requirement?
Above “willing to sign a personal loyalty oath to Donald Trump”? Doubtful.
But seriously, let it sink in. The White House. Is advertising at a job fair. That’s … pathetic.

80% of Repugs, esp you less Repug kiss-up-kick-down wannabe-dictators men, still support Trash.
Trump’s 2020 campaign chief just called for a reporter to lose credentials over a piercing question
Acosta refused to mindlessly buy into the farce, and called out a question to Trump, asking if they had agreed on a denuclearization deal. Trump responded that they planned to do so soon.
Acosta then followed up and asked if the two leaders had discussed Otto Warmbier, the American who was captured by the North Koreans and released only to later die from the stress of his harsh captivity. Trump, predictably, didn’t respond to the perfectly fair question
Trump’s campaign manager for 2020 Brad Parscale
has taken to Twitter in faux outrage to demand that Acosta have his press credentials suspended for simply doing his job.
It’s a deeply un-American thing to suggest and fits in perfectly with Trump’s broader war on the First Amendment and the Fourth Estate.
Brad Parscale
✔@parscale
Jim@Acosta should immediately have his press credentials suspended.
He is an absolute disgrace! @realDonaldTrump

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/w...ama-jfk-reagan
well of course the GOP wants Trump, he's the sitting president.
is there any case in US history where a party didn't pick the in bent president from their own party?
President Donald Trump is more popular with his party than almost any other recent president, according to pollster John Zogby.

polls two and a half years before an election don't have great predictive value, but you're certainly right about about DJT's intra-party popularity and almost certainly correct that if he's still standing, he will be the GOP nominee in 2020.
Making that call is such an easy one it shouldn't count as a prediction, tbh.
The AP just released a bombs report about Trump and Cambridge Analytica’s 2020 election meddling plans
s AP report also confirms that the RNC has given a contract for the mid-term elections to a top GOP operative involved in the theft of 87 million Facebook profile in conjunction with the Trump 2020 campaign.
Former Cambridge Analytica data scientist Matt Oczowskicreated a company called Data Propria and hired some of the bankrupt Cambridge Analytica’s former employees, then sold his company to the penny stock company CloudCommerce
Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale also sold his marketing company to CloudCommerce and now the two men are working together on CloudCommerce’s new data analytics division.
Parscale denies that the Trump 2020 campaign’s current goal with Data Propria is to re-elect the President, but says instead to impact the 2018 mid-term elections. The AP reports:
“I am laser-focused on the 2018 midterms and holding the House and increasing our seats in the Senate,” [Brad Parscale] said.
“Once we do those things, I’ll start working on re-electing President Trump.”
Both Oczkowski and Parscale told the AP that no Trump re-election work by Data Propria was even planned, but confirmed that Parscale had helped Data Propria line up a successful bid on 2018 midterm polling-related work for the RNC, awarded earlier this week. Oczkowski called the contract modest.
Of course, you can’t put much weight into a denial from anyone connected to the Trump campaign,
least of all its campaign manager, who is raking in the cash through his deal with CloudCommerce.

Maddow guest explains how NY lawsuit against Trump Foundation is a backdoor for the IRS to nab him for tax evasion
The Chicago criminal tax attorney told the New York Times that “people have gone to prison for stuff like this” and on Friday she explained how.
“The New York AG would have difficulty bringing a criminal case here
but this is up the alley of what IRS criminal investigations would likely be interested in looking at,” she said.
“These are very potentially far-reaching allegations that go beyond just the president.
It touches his campaign staff, his children, his business associates, his campaign donors.”
She said that what was exposed is “a hornet’s nest that could impact a lot of people.”
The IRS doesn’t have to do anything—but Johnson Ware thinks they will.
“I think the IRS would be inclined to look at the way this impacts a number of people and not just the president,” she said.
“Earned income is taxable.
So if you’ve earned money by doing something for someone, it’s taxable to you.
When I look at the Trump Foundation’s [990 forms] it looks to me like
business associates of the president were paying money into his foundation,
perhaps in place of money that they owed some of his business en ies…
That means those people were getting a deduction for a 501(c)(3) charitable organization get a deduction for making a charitable contribution that isn’t real and
the en y that should have been picking up that income isn’t picking up the income and paying tax on it.”

Why the I.R.S. Should Go After Trump
By Philip T. Hackney
From 2006 to 2011, Mr. Hackney was an attorney for the chief counsel of the I.R.S. specializing in nonprofit organizations.
As a former attorney for the chief counsel of the I.R.S. who specialized in nonprofit organizations,
I believe Mr. Trump is also criminally liable for his actions.
If I were still at the I.R.S., based on the lawsuit, I would make a criminal referral, on charges of tax evasion or false statements on a tax return, or both.
On the tax evasion charge, the government must demonstrate that the defendant willfully failed to pay a tax he owed and acted to disguise or attempted to disguise that evasion.
For a false statement charge, the government must show the defendant willingly signed a return under penalties of perjury, making a materially false statement that he knew was false.
These are not easy charges to prove, but the Trump Foundation is a nonprofit organization that is entrusted with money to be used exclusively for public charitable purposes.
Any use of foundation money to benefit himself is akin to theft.
The government could anchor a
tax evasion and false statement case upon the multiple instances of self-dealing,
as cataloged by the New York attorney general, between Mr. Trump and the foundation.
The attorney general details occasions when Mr. Trump directed the foundation
to acquire expensive things like paintings of himself for himself;
paid $258,000 to settle two private lawsuits;
and made political contributions by paying $25,000 to the re-election campaign of Pam Bondi,
the Republican attorney general of Florida.
The attorney general also amply do ents that in 2016,
Mr. Trump directed the foundation to operate as a political arm of his campaign.
These acts fail to meet the basic requirement of a charitable organization to operate exclusively for charitable purposes.
Yet
Mr. Trump signed tax returns year after year through 2014 stating that these expenditures went for charitable purposes.
Congress imposes rigorous rules on private foundations; for example, each of these self-dealing transactions probably subjected Mr. Trump to a 10 percent tax applied to the value of the transaction. In addition, he may owe other excise taxes and penalties.
The I.R.S. saves criminal consequences for notorious and continuous violations of the law.
And
the misuse of a charity for personal and political purposes over years — as alleged by the New York State attorney general — is in fact the type of case that the I.R.S. goes after with criminal sanctions.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/o...er=rss&emc=rss
falsely signing IRS returns, not paying taxes on persona income taken from a charity, violating charitable org laws, etc.
Would the IRS "settle" with a non-wealthy person? no, it would be fines AND prison.
What will the Repug-run IRS do with Trash, if anything?

The IRS should do it but they won't do it
when the president is an obvious crook like DJT, the remedy is impeachment and removal. once he be removed from office, no cons utional crisis is caused by criminal prosecution.
so long as DJT remains above the law, it's because the GOP allows it.
Land of the Lawlesspower in America has turned the rule of law into a mere myth.
https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/rule-law/land-lawless
Repugs still support Trash like at 80%+ approval,
so the Repug pols, fearing Trash's cultish, rabid mob, won't impeach him,
because he would run around the country throwing red meat at his mob.
I heard somewhere that America is ed and un able.
Anybody have evidence that America isn't ed?

Drew Magary, letting it all hang out in GQ:
https://www.gq.com/story/this-is-why-trump-wonWanna know how Trump wins re-election? This is how. It’s the same goddamn reason he won in 2016. He’ll win again because both the establishment media and the Democratic kingmakers are thin-skinned dip s who will blame literally ANYONE for Trump but themselves. They will also recognize the Republican Party as legitimate and deserving of its power, when it has long since been exposed as a wholly criminal enterprise that needs to be destroyed.
Dem mucky mucks have already told progressive Dem candidates for 2018 don't bother to run, because DNC will support their anti-progressive candidates against any progressives.
