    Donald "Quack Quack" Trump needs to have a talk with William Barr who just demonstrated he understands the power Adam Schiff has … to put 'em in jail. Richard Neal is going to put Mnuchin and Rittig in prison for 5 years. The fines are going to be $25,000.00 for each day of stonewalling on behalf of The Quack Quack in Chief.

    Quackery = Ignorant or Fraudulent practice.

    The President has refused to cooperate with Congress in any way on legislation until they give up investigating him! (this from a party that put the "I" in congressional investigations). In other words, he is claiming Congress has no legitimate powers to investigate wrongdoing by the president. He also has a blanket ban on White House officials and ex-officials testifying in the investigations. He claims broad "emergency powers" to re-allocate money to projects Congress specifically disapproved, thereby nullifying Congress's traditional "power of the purse'" and to pardon anyone who is prosecuted for violating the law on his behalf. In effect, he's re-writing the Constitution. And He holds rallies denouncing his opponents as "traitors'. This is an incredible plunge toward the position that the President is above the law. When people warned that the MAGA movement was fascist, it was dismissed as partisan rhetoric. These latest move shows how close we may be coming to fulfilling those prophecies. Give him another term and our republic is a goner.

    The international conglomerates never lost money underestimating the intelligence of wealthy Americans.

    And remember the Democrats have never impeached a president, only the Republicans have ever done that.

    I just saw on CNN Nancy Pelosi say she is concerned about Trump's well being. I am thinking she is worried about his psychiatric well being. On a second CNN passing headline banner, I saw reports of name calling by Trump against Rex Tillerson. One of the Republicans attending the sub-committee hearing must have reported back what Tillerson said about the Quack in Chief.

    GOP Farm Bill Is Hypocritical on Welfare Reform
    By Caroline Kitchens
    May 14, 2018

    https://www.realclearpolicy.com/art...m_bill_is_hypocritical_on_welfare_reform.html

    excerpt:

    "Under current agriculture policy, so-called “farmers” who live in urban centers and don’t even work on a farm can rake in subsidies. An amendment by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE), which would have tightened requirements to ensure that producers are actively engaged in farming, passed in both the House and Senate during the 2014 Farm Bill. But it was later stripped from the bill in a closed-door deal. The current House bill would actually expand these loopholes with a provision that makes it possible for cousins, nieces, and nephews of farm owners to qualify as family members, each of whom can receive an additional $125,000 in subsidies. If SNAP recipients have to meet work requirements in order to receive government assistance, so should farmers.

    To be eligible for SNAP, Americans must show their gross monthly household income is below 130 percent of the poverty line. For a family of three in 2018, that means making less than $2,213 a month, for an annual income of just $26,600 a year. By contrast, farmers are able to rake in taxpayer handouts regardless of the size and profitability of their operation. The federal crop insurance program subsidizes, on average, 62 percent of farmers’ insurance premiums, with no means test whatsoever. This allows the largest farm operations to receive virtually unlimited subsidies. Owners of mega-farms have received more than $1 million in subsidies from taxpayers."

    The New Farm Bill Would Send Even More Welfare to the Super Rich (and Their Extended Families)
    It would also legalize hemp, which is pretty cool.

    The New Farm Bill Would Send Even More Welfare to the Super Rich (and Their Extended Families)

    excerpt:

    "The nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG) has, over the last several years, tracked the amount of money "city slickers and beach bums" receive from federal farm bills. In 2017, EWG reported that "19,832 people in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other big cities received $108 million in farm subsidies." That was up from 17,836 people and $63 million in the two years prior.

    The 2018 farm bill is somehow worse. Here's EWG on a section of the bill that would pay even more welfare to rich land owners and their relatives:

    - Sec. 1603 of H.R. 2 would make a farmer's "cousins, nieces and nephews" eligible for certain subsidies—even if they don't live or work on the farm.

    - Under current law, a farmer's immediate family members—his spouse, grandparents, siblings, and adult children—are eligible to receive up $125,000 annually in subsidies for covered commodities like corn and peanuts. If a farmer is a member of a partnership, each member of the partnership (and their spouses) are also eligible for up to $125,000 in subsidies.

    - Technically, each member of the family or partnership has to be "actively engaged in farming," but this requirement can be met through a phone conversation about what to plant and when to sell the crop."

    Farm bill targets food stamps — but not the well-off farmers who have been on the dole for decades

    Farm bill targets food stamps — but not the well-off farmers who have been on the dole for decades

    excerpt:

    "Not all of the recipients live and work on hardscrabble farms. Some are managing operations that are quite lucrative, according to the report. At least 245 of them appear to live far from where the cotton, corn, wheat and other subsidy-eligible commodities are grown; they are in urban locations such as Santa Monica and the Napa Valley’s St. Helena. While most of the recipients are in the Midwest and Texas, there are 87 Californians who have been collecting farm bill checks since the mid-1980s. Their operations span the entire state, and range from big, industrial farms to the hobby farms of wealthy individuals.

    The Newton Bros. cotton farming operation in Stratford, Calif., has collected the most of the subsidies in the state, totaling more than $5.7 million over the 32 years, according to the group. Messages left there and at several other of the California farms that received the payments were not immediately returned.

    Such long-running payments are coming under scrutiny at a time when the White House and many congressional Republicans are aiming to substantially cut food stamps, which are also authorized by the farm bill. A House measure that narrowly failed last month would cut benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, by $9 billion over the next 10 years. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that would result in 1.2 million people losing access to food stamps."

    Trump's greatest accomplishment is proving it doesn't matter who you vote for, because the same idiots who voted for Obama put him in office, and will swing back and forth between extremes until the Neo-Nazis take over. Money is all that matters, and the fact he got into office and is still in office is evidence.

    I agree. I've been saying he has been destroying agency after agency, like EPA, BLM, Education, Housing, and now the DOJ. It's like he does not want the American people to have any government services at all. I bet Putin is laughing hard enough to piss himself.

    Pelosi thinks Trump wants to be impeached as he knows the Republican Senate won't strip him of his office.
    Then he can rant and rave about Democratic witch hunts and how he's been persecuted.
    He thinks he can get votes that way.

    Trying to get Trump to stay on topic for 5 minutes is next to impossible, let alone a day or a week.

    1) The Democrats need to get more evidence from their investigations. 2) Use it when closer to the next elections. 3) Win the next elections like we did in 2018. And we need to make sure during the run up to the election the people know what Trump did in conspiracy with others and obstruction of justice.

    The democrats can't boot him out of office without republican help, and are goaded him as hard as they can into fucking up in public in order to give republicans an excuse to vote him out. They will not let up the pressure until the issue is settled or republican insist they back off, and Donald Duck will need serious tranquilizers before this is over.
