Insolvency of pensions and other problems in the auto and steel industries are on the horizon. It will probably require Trump and the Republicans in Congress to bail out those industries like they did in 2019 for the coal mining industry with a $10 billion bailout. Those are the industries that Trump has been telling Michigan and Pennsylvania (two critical electoral swing states that he won by a sliver in 2016) that he will bring back to how they were in the 1950's via his steel and aluminum trade wars, which caused retaliatory tariffs that crippled U.S. farmers who he has already bailed out to the tune of about $28 billion.
Would that be the same Michigan Trump won in 2016? I'm sure all those autoworkers will feel much safer under Bernie, increasing their companies tax rate and excises on stuff that makes petrol cars run
Pompeo appeared to coordinate with Giuliani on Ukraine, new documents show Alexander Nazaryan National Correspondent, Yahoo News February 24, 2020 Pompeo appeared to coordinate with Giuliani on Ukraine, new documents show excerpt: "WASHINGTON — “Pls have Mr. G bring the documents,” reads the March 27, 2019, email from a State Department official to someone who worked for “Mr. G.,” better known as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a central figure in the Ukraine pressure campaign that culminated in the impeachment of President Trump. “S is happy to meet with him tomorrow for 10 minutes,” went an email, apparently between State Department officials, the next day (both sender and recipient are redacted, though the title “Office Manager to the Secretary of State” is visible in the sender’s signature. “S” was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is suspected by Democrats to have had a more central role in that Ukrainian campaign than has yet been publicly acknowledged. (One of Pompeo’s top deputies, Lisa Kenna, also calls him “S” in scheduling emails.) Trump was acquitted by the Senate on charges of abusing power and obstructing Congress earlier this month. But because agencies like the State Department and the Office of Management and Budget steadfastly refused House subpoenas, much remains unknown about how, exactly, the Trump administration decided to hold up $400 million in aid to Ukraine until that country announced investigations that could benefit Trump in the 2020 election."
Maybe we'll get to see Trump's tax returns? He did say the audit would be over and he would release them.
It looks like Mexicans are using $5 home made ladders to get over Trump's wall. They are even using stolen rebar from the fence itself to make home made ladders to go over Trump's formidable wall. And it doesn't appear that Mexico will pay for any part of it.
Mulvaney, Pompeo, and Giuliani were part of Trump's underhanded Ukraine scheme for his self-benefit. Also involved was Barr who Trump said would be calling the president of Ukraine as evidenced by the memo of Trump's 'perfect call', the call whose full unedited version Trump said he'd love to recite on TV but cowardly didn't. It's a junta of motley loyalists who abusively bypassed all of the formal, legal, and ethical channels for Trump's personal gain in tandem with another group of cowardly Republicans in the Senate who let him do it with impunity by not allowing evidence to be admitted in the trial.

Well, his budget proposal did suggest cutting funding for the CDC during the middle of the Coronavirus outbreak. Amid coronavirus outbreak, Trump proposes slashing CDC budget So yeah @Gul Dukat, Trump is pretty fucking stupid.
I remember a few years ago it was all about the wall and I said pfff it'll never get done just an empty election promise. How is that wall going anyway I don't hear much about it.
once the wall is finished, it will take a lot less agents to patrol, and then they can watch the ports of entry better
Trump calls for justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to recuse themselves By Joe Tacopino February 25, 2020 | 3:15am https://nypost.com/2020/02/25/trump...and-ruth-bader-ginsburg-to-recuse-themselves/ excerpt: "Sotomayor’s dissent came Friday after a ruling in the case of Wolf v. Cook County. The justice, who was appointed by President Obama, wrote that the Trump administration repeatedly uses the reason of “emergency basis” to bypass lower courts. “Claiming one emergency after another, the Government has recently sought stays in an unprecedented number of cases, demanding immediate attention and consuming limited Court resources in each,” Sotomayor wrote in the dissent. “And with each successive application, of course, its cries of urgency ring increasingly hollow. Indeed, its behavior relating to the public-charge rule in particular shows how much its own definition of irreparable harm has shifted.”"
