So I was looking through the news to try to find a feel-good story for you guys. As opposed to all the “feel bad” stories that are everywhere and all I came up with was spicy chicken nuggets are coming back to Wendy’s, McDonald’s now has a meatless burger, and the impossible burger is finally at Burger King. If the Enchirito comes back to Taco Bell (I used to get these with no meat, just beans), that would be the feel good story of the year. Politics is still a shit show! Welcome to Wednesday!!!

Mueller complained to Barr about Russia report memo ‘This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel,’ the letter said. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/30/robert-mueller-william-barr-report-1295269 Special counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr last month complaining that a four-page memo Barr wrote characterizing Mueller’s findings “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the special counsel’s Russia investigation, two senior Justice Department officials confirmed to POLITICO on Tuesday.

Does Trump or the Department of Treasury have to turn over the President’s Taxes? Ultimately I suspect a federal court will decide but you can read various legal positions https://www.vox.com/2019/4/9/18296806/trump-tax-returns-congress-legal-experts The House passed a bill banning the government from creating ‘free’ tax preparation software like TurboTax, forever https://www.businessinsider.com/house-bans-free-government-tax-preparation-software-turbotax-hr-block-2019-4 Many of the lawmakers shepherding the bill through the House Committee on Ways & Means have benefited from campaign donations from tax-preparation companies like H&R Block and Intuit.

I have a confession. I love trashy television. In fact, the trashier the better. To me, the View is the epitome of trashy guilty pleasure television. I mean I’m certainly not watching this show for in depth political analysis or deep sociological commentary. I’m watching for female hot takes that lead to tears and/or yelling. When Barbara Walters first pitched this show, the idea of smart women giving discussing their various positions on issues, I pictured an all female McLaughlin Group. I’m not sure what went awry but it’s never been that. I was expecting this: We got this: What … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Post Has a Bird’s Eye View

This wall deal is still a thing. GOP know it’s dead in the water. Democrats know it’s dead in the water. No one wants to pay for it. Financial responsibility has shifted from “Mexico” to Congress to National Emergency. The only person who thinks it’s still happening is Trump. I could have told you it was a no go when Trump first mentioned it, a project this big needs bipartisan support because it will take longer than 8 years. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/429717-whats-in-the-tentative-deal-to-avert-shutdown Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread Presents Wall of Confusion

Team of Vipers by Cliff Sims 1. “Only a few weeks in, it “was clear Ryan had power that he seemed either uncomfortable with or incapable of wielding. That was a sign of weakness to a man like Donald Trump, and weakness was a quality he could never abide. In fact, it was clear that most of the “leaders” of Congress weren’t really leaders at all. To them, courage was a risk. Which is why Trump dominated them all so easily.” On Congress and Paul Ryan 2. “Days later, House leadership released their bill—the American Health Care Act—and it was … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Post…an assortment of Ralphs, Jacks, and Piggies work in the White

I’m am still on vacation… But I can always take a couple a minutes to talk about prime time television which I abhor. Trump’s speech or address…was what I expected scattered, strange and full of blatant lies. More importantly, it added no new information to the conversation. Prime time television, (of course) broadcast it…for the same reason, it broadcast Megyn Kelly, Roseanne, Matt Lauer & company because it’s old school, based in discrimination and can’t think outside the box of traditional format. As usual, they look like fools. But I’m sure they could pull it together if only streaming services … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Post Prime Time TV gets played AGAIN

I’m still on vacation lol but I have been following the shutdown since I live so close to DC and it affects so many people I know.
