HappyDays Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I have fun laughing at the crazy conspiracy theorists but I feel really bad for the parents. On top of dealing with the unsolved murder of their son, they have to deal with all this other crap. Really disgusting how low people will stoop for agendas and profit.

B-Man Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 REPOST: The decision to remove Mr. Scaramucci came at the request of chief of staff, John F. Kelly. Mr. Kelly made clear to members of the White House staff at a meeting Monday morning that he is in charge. Seems like a good thing. None of these jackasses, seemed to be up to the job. I don't care how it looks, if they can't keep their mouths shut ( a common DC trait) boot their backsides out General !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His anti free trade talk (killing the TPP) and proposed infrastructure spending are liberal policies. Time will tell whether he actually turns his words into action.

I don't care how it looks, if they can't keep their mouths shut ( a common DC trait) boot their backsides out General !! Update: CHANGE: John Kelly closes the Oval Office door. Gen. John Kelly, the new White House chief of staff, has taken control in dramatic fashion, and is already imposing unmistakable signs of order after just a few days on the job: Even POTUS appears to be trying to impress his four-star handler, picking up his game by acting sharper in meetings and even rattling off stats. Meetings, which under Reince Priebus were meandering, are shorter and stick to their scheduled topic. Reince was a wallflower; Kelly moderates and is clearly in charge. Everyone — even uber-aides Jared and Ivanka, and economic adviser Gary Cohn — is being deferential to Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is resisting the pleas of State Department officials to spend nearly $80 million allocated by Congress for fighting terrorist propaganda and Russian disinformation. It is highly unusual for a Cabinet secretary to turn down money for his department. But more than five months into his tenure, Tillerson has not issued a simple request for the money earmarked for the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, $60 million of which is now parked at the Pentagon. Another$19.8 million sits untouched at the State Department as Tillerson’s aides reject calls from career diplomats and members of Congress to put the money to work against America’s adversaries. The $60 million will expire on Sept. 30 if not transferred to State by then, current and former State Department officials told POLITICO. The struggle over the money is a case study in Tillerson’s approach to managing the State Department and the frustration it is engendering among American diplomats. Current and former U.S. officials call it the latest example of a severe slowdown in department decision-making; of Tillerson’s reliance on a coterie of political aides who distrust State’s career staffers; and a casualty of President Donald Trump’s intention to slash State's budget, which has Tillerson looking for ways to reshape the department and spend less money, not more. Sources cited another sensitive factor at play: Russia. One Tillerson aide, R.C. Hammond, suggested the money is unwelcome because any extra funding for programs to counter Russian media influence would anger Moscow, according to a former senior State Department official. "This is an extraordinary example of the dysfunction that is ripping through the State Department," said Brett Bruen, a former U.S. diplomat in contact with State employees involved in the funding fight. "What we're seeing is a small group of people with very thin knowledge making all the decisions in a very centralized and isolated process. It causes unnecessary delays and confusion." http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/02/tillerson-isis-russia-propaganda-241218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) His anti free trade talk (killing the TPP) and proposed infrastructure spending are liberal policies. Time will tell whether he actually turns his words into action. Not sure what anyone thinks about free trade in North America. For our federal election in 1988??, basically a plebiscite on Free Trade, the Liberal candidate yelled it was TREASON during all the debates, when his party was the one pushing for FT for about 100 years prior. He drank a lot and it showed though.. Every party up here except the Green and that Socialist Thing have argued very angrily on both sides of Free Trade.

But the president also received some bad news: The Senate unanimously agreed to a move designed to block Trump from making any recess appointments while the Senate takes its summer break. The Senate scheduled nine pro-forma sessions to avoid the Supreme Court's bizarre definition of "recess." The FoxSnooze article makes it sound as though that's exceptional. It's not - the use of pro-forma sessions to avoid going in to recess and thus curtail the President's constitutional authority to appoint people has been standard practice for the past ten years. Pioneered, unsurprisingly, by Harry Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
