I think they would in this case. Sessions was one of them for a long time and has allies in the Senate. They want leverage over Trump to keep him in check and this is one area where they have leverage over him.

Not really sure where else to put this, but here seems appros.
How are we not talking about this today? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...iev/654823002/ Russia has it's hands dirty in this entire thing now. It's been no secret that they've been assassinating opponents for years, and it's no secret that Trump also views the media with similar disdain and would love the kind of power that Putin wields. Here now, a sting to catch Russia in the act. It's an incredible story.

I had heard about the journalist being killed, but not about his "rebirth" Not sure I have much problem with this-seen a few journalist group and of course Russia be critical, but what was he just supposed to let the assassin kill him?
It's made people in the West more aware of the lengths Russia will go to influence world events-can't say there's anything wrong with that either.

Cohen's lawyers/Avernatti appeared in court today to argue whether Avernatti should be admitted to the government's Cohen trial. Judge told him he would have to quit "his publicity tour" if he wanted to be admitted. About an hour later, he withdrew his request to be admitted.
Meanwhile the FBI is reconstructing documents from a shredder and expect to enter them to be reviewed by the Special Master. FBI is reconstructing shredded documents from 'raid' on Michael Cohen: 'This will not end well for the defense' https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/30/polit...our/index.html

It's more the extent that the Ukraine went to prove that it was indeed Russia that is behind these hits. The fact that his wife wasn't in on it must have been a brutal thing and could have really hurt his marriage. Ukraine is the testing ground for Russia's new attacks on the west and the cyber war. I posted a great article about this earlier. That they caught the person responsible for making the payments and ordering the hit, and got more information pertaining to multiple planned hits on opposition journalists that makes it more damning. This is the kind of government that is a direct threat to the Republic we have. You can make direct parallels between trump's desires and this style of strong man leadership where assassinations of opposition voices are a regular thing. How many times has trump suggested that anyone who opposes him should 'go away'?

Trump's steel tariffs provoke retaliation from biggest US allies
Can someone comfort me and tell me that this is good for the US?

It sounds like Kardashian was discussing a singular case. There is a 63 year old woman in prison for the rest of her life on her first drug offense. KK is trying to get her pardoned.
Not sure if it expanded out from there to what the tweet presents, but I wouldnt doubt it.

Because American society respects Kim Kardashian's intellect on prison reform or any other issue? Public opinion must have changed on her. If that is the case, I stand corrected.

Did you see the candidate for congress running in VA? He is an admitted pedophile, and said he raped his wife and there is a grain of truth about an incestuous relationship with his daughter.
He called Hitler a "White supremacist hero." His platform includes legalizing incest and child pornography. Where is a our society going?

The government is really holding this country back. What happened to free enterprise/ Why is government propping up a 2 century old industry when their are energy ideas that would be fantastic.
Sometimes I wonder.

Same reason why politicians never get frank about many things, including in this case the direction economics are inevitably going to go in with globalization. You just aren't, in any modern political environment, going to win by telling people unfriendly truths. It's much easier by comparison to prop up their particular sector with myopic policy. There are many flaws relatively unique to Trump, but this isn't one of them. |

This is such a fallacyof thinking. As long as there has been government this has existed. In fact, the American west would never have been explored, settled and developed without substantial subsidies from the government. They did choose, for the benefit of the nation. Private enterprise, would have taken decades longer. There was simply no incentive to do it outside of the already developed areas. The government is responsible to help technology get off the ground if it's advancing humankind. It can't all be done though a profit motive.

Now, what I said doesn't really go with what you said though. In this case, coal is on the outs. I was more addressing the government's need to help pick winners and losers and the fallacy that it's somehow new or socialist, when it's in fact, what helped this country evolve as quickly as it did.

I agree. Im not saying the federal government has always been a roadblock. But these days it seems to be more of a roadblock than an enhancer.
I love the alternative energy people trying to poin that out.

There can't possibly be nearly as many people/voters in the US still attached to or dependent from the coal industry as are other branches of energy production ?* I know that minority is more likely to vote for him, but it still seems weird that he seems to concentrate on niche industries so persistently (i mean, the whole steel tarrif thing is similar, isn't it ? In that it benefits a comparatively small number of businesses compared to those projected to struggle due to this) * Honestly curious. I lived throught a pretty major process of deindustrialization in my home region (Ruhr region, around Dortmund), which was one of the biggest coal mining and steel producing regions in the World for a long time and those industries absolutely dominated live around here until pretty much the 1970s/80s but then got shut down bit by bit until like the early 00s. So i know how much of a hot button issue this can be. Heck, i went on protest marches with my dad and grandfather who both worked in coal mining.

Speaking of the steel tariffs...interesting coincidence:
By the way, after seeing this, and yesterday's pre-job report tweets, I'm wondering if Trump is doing some "insider trading" from the White House. He knows the markets will raise and lower based off what he says and does so why not put money into it ahead of time. |

It's been 22 days since there was a public sighting of Melania Trump. She was supposed to go to Camp David this weekend with Trump but did not go. Everybody come up with their best Trump-like conspiracy story about where she is now.

Since the moment we were told on a Monday that she was going to spend the rest of the week in the hospital, I've been operating on the assumption that whatever medical issue she had in mid-May was significantly worse than we were led to believe. Seemed fairly obvious that it was more than a routine procedure on a benign problem.

yeah given the huge amount of people who would have to keep the "conspiracy" quiet, hard to believe really that its anything but harmless/not a story. But then given we are talking about the Trumps...

With our Gov resigning and the talk of him giving clemency and pardons on hos last day in office, I was wondering if a Gov or President could pardon themselves? I assume no looking back at Nixon and the Illinois governors, but Im wondering if they could.

There's a strong constitutional argument that he could not, but, nobody's ever tried it. So, Trump certainly could pardon himself, then it's just a matter if it got in front of the Supreme Court and what they thought (and he could appoint another justice or two by then).
