Trump buddy tries to get special treatment from Treasury

Former casino executive Steve Wynn generated $2.1 billion and a big potential tax bill last March when he was forced to sell his stake in Wynn Resorts Ltd. after sexual-misconduct allegations. Less than three months later, he held a meeting with Treasury Department officials as they were writing regulations for a new tax incentive that had the potential to help him defer and reduce those taxes.

In case you need more proof of this:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...rson-gary-cohn

Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was confronted by two of the most senior US government officials for mixing his personal interests with US foreign policy, according to a new book.

Kushner, an envoy to the Middle East for his father-in-law, is said to have been robustly challenged by both Rex Tillerson, then secretary of state, and Gary Cohn, formerly Trump’s top economic adviser.

Senate votes to block Trump's emergency declaration
The Senate voted to block President Trump's emergency declaration, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats.

Only 12 of the cowards mustered up enough courage to protect the Constitution from this vast overreach by an illegitimate president*. Sad! Not enough to override the asshole's inevitable veto...

Of course the cowardly GOP made sure it fell one vote short of overriding a veto.

Conservative Commentators Torch Republicans Staying Subservient To Donald Trump

“If Trump told them to amend the Constitution and toss out the Bill of Rights, they’d likely do it.”

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5...b0db7da9f1e233

Of course to Limblow worshippers, these pundits are “RINOs”. A sad, sorry, worthless party those Repubes have become.

You know, Trump's 'we have the tough guys' rhetoric is really a threat to the lives of his critics. Any right winger would tell you that a threat like that justifies any level of counterforce necessary, if it comes from brown foreigners. But they wouldn't apply such standards to him, of course.

It may be the most undemocratic, un-American thing he's said yet. Another substantial step toward domestic instability and violence has been taken. The comment is itself cause to impeach him as fast as possible, in my opinion.

No excuses from the right can possibly defend this.

As if any rational person would care what he says.
