The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump originally said he would end the ban on import of game trophies. He changed his mind later and said he would continue the ban. He changed his mind again and quietly terminated the ban.

He initially sounded like he would add restrictions to ownership of assault weapons after the Florida school shooting but later changed his mind after the NRA took him out to dinner.

 

You'd sooner find a diamond in a goats ass as to find any morality in that family.

 

They are short in the morality department. They lay waste to anything they touch. They destroy animals and people. They destroy the country and leave the repair to some one else.

 

A real swinging dude!

 

You don't have to go...you can stand with us

 

I didn't want to be the one to bring this horrible news...sorry

 

Reagan had controversial appointments too. He hired some lawyers to be EPA administrator and Secretary of the Interior. I don't remember their names

Congress had to sort of reign in Reagan's environmental policies for him. His second term was a lot less anti regulatory than the first.

 

Ann Burford, EPA; James Watt, Inerior.

 

I hope something good can save us from this mob rule by billionaires.

 

And they removed all words and terms which they don't like from the CDC and HHS for Christian Fundamentalist reasons and others.

 

I have a real good idea about the who part.

 

So Trump fired (or rather he got Sessions to fire) FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, two days before his retirement, so he won't be able to collect his pension. Why? The official reason is for McCabe's "lack of candor" about the Justice Department's investigation of the Clinton Foundation. I think the real reason was to send a message and instill fear into any official thinking of crossing Trump. McCabe was a confident of James Comey, former FBI director, who was fired by Trump. He willl likely be a key witness in the Special Prosecutor's obstruction investigation, and Trump is trying to discredit him in advance, with the help of State TV (aka, Fox News). My hunch: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will also be fired, either on some trumped up (pardon the pun) charge or for refusing a directive by Trump to fire Special Prosecutor Mueller. Or Trump will fire Sessions and replace him with the more pliant Scott Pruitt, currently EPA Administrator, who will not recuse himself from the investigation the way Sessions did and will have no compunctions about firing Rosenstein and/or Mueller. Then the axe will fall on Mueller, and Americans will have a decision to make about how to handle a constitutional crisis.

 

I don't follow Babylonian intrigues much, but it was the FBI director who shocked everyone by announcing they were re-investigating Hilary just two weeks before the presidential election. Money and the gun are doing all the talking worth listening to in modern day Babylon, and the Duck is stupid enough to see that much. Supposedly, it was 13 Russians who spread fake news, but the one thing you have to remember in this kind of politics is that the left hand literally has no clue what the right hand is doing, hence, anything goes and the slapstick could not get more lowbrow.

The Duck is a huge professional wrestling fan and reality TV star, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, which says everything you need to know about the man. Barbie and Ken are more real.

 

Trump gets someone else to fire a person just before retirement to damage his pension.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. The meanest of the swamp.


Andrew McCabe, Trump’s foil at the FBI, is fired hours before he could retire

Andrew McCabe, Trump’s foil at the FBI, is fired hours before he could retire

excerpt:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions late Friday night fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, a little more than 24 hours before McCabe was set to retire — a move that McCabe alleged was an attempt to slander him and undermine the ongoing special counsel investigation into the Trump campaign."

 

The original constitutional congress promised anyone who fought for the duration of the war a small penchant, and then taxed them more than it was worth. In modern times, the state of Virginia, for example, withheld their state retirement funds for over twenty years, dragging it through the courts, while offering all of them to settle out of court for half of what it was worth. Its illegal to sue the state of Virginia without their permission, which they granted, but only because it suited their politics. The state of Virginia also sterilized some 20,000 young men and women for the crime of being, basically, poor white trash.

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day, so satisfied I'm on my way.

 

Anne Gorsuch was Reagan's EPA chief. She was the mother of Neil Gorsuch who Trump made a Supreme Court member.

How Reagan’s EPA Chief Paved the Way for Trump’s Assault on the Agency

excerpt:

"The EPA was only a decade old when Gorsuch, as she was then known—she married Bureau of Land Management Director Robert Burford in 1983—became its first female administrator. Gorsuch, a conservative state legislator from Colorado, promptly embroiled the agency in a political fight for its life. Even though Congress had recently expanded the EPA’s workload, Gorsuch and the Reagan White House cut its budget and staff."

Anne Gorsuch Burford - Wikipedia

Gorsuch based her administration of the EPA on the New Federalism approach of downsizing federal agencies by delegating their functions and services to the individual states.[6] She believed that the EPA was over-regulating business and that the agency was too large and not cost-effective. During her 22 months as agency head, she cut the budget of the EPA by 22%, reduced the number of cases filed against polluters, relaxed Clean Air Act regulations, and facilitated the spraying of restricted-use pesticides. She cut the total number of agency employees, and hired staff from the industries they were supposed to be regulating.[4] Environmentalists contended that her policies were designed to placate polluters, and accused her of trying to dismantle the agency.[2]
