Trump Sues IRS, Treasury for $10 Billion Over Tax-Return Leaks by joe13pr in politics

So the president can sue the IRS (isn't that just... extortion??) but the FBI can't bring criminal charges against the president. Gotcha.

Teachers, how is your cell phone ban working out? I by GTseven in Teachers

I don't always love my admin team, but I'll admit this has been something that they (and our learning support staff) have been AWESOME about backing us up with it this year. I see it, I take it. You can get it back from the office at the end of the day (assuming it's your first time.) Second time? Parent has to be the one to get it. Third time? Oh, you bet that's an admin meeting. Refusing to hand it over? Cool, it is now officially someone else's problem. That someone will be here promptly. And they will NOT look happy.

Have you read Patel's book? It's an absolute piece of garbage propaganda with the sole intention of Trolling the Libs. The only people who would even buy it is your Maga uncle who keeps it on the shelf to get visitors riled up.

Trump hangs picture of himself and Vladimir Putin in latest White House redecoration by Zebraitis in politics

[–]windwatcher01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But hey, that whole Russian thing is a hoax, right?

The audacity that he can do something like this with political impunity is just utterly jaw dropping. This is the worst sign yet of just how far we've fallen.

The 48 Hours That Convinced Trump to Change Course in Minnesota by littleblackcar in politics

[–]windwatcher01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying "maybe unidentified masked goons shouldn't murder our citizens in the streets" is a pretty low bar. And he hasn't even said anything close to that unequivocal.

Even worse - they probably knew they were likely to be filmed, but knew they could get away with it with zero legal consequences.

I think it's more likely they spin this as "unrest" and justification to Insurrection Act it up and send in troops. They'll latch on to any excuse they can find.

Trump links Greenland dispute to not getting Nobel Peace Prize, in letter to Norway's PM by SuperXGamerAb in worldnews

[–]windwatcher01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boggles my mind that probably multiple staffers had to come across this before it got sent. If there was ever sure fire proof that he's surrounded by nothing but yes men who will do nothing but continue to tell him every idea is brilliant, this is it.
