Trump will get credit when the economy trickles down the commoners. Considering we are still waiting for the Reagan trickle down after 50+ years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Unfortunately, people will still believe in trickle down and continue to vote for tax cuts for the rich despite tax cuts never having made America Great (unless you are in the top 1% of wealth).

What if we addressed education, poverty, and mental health issues instead and actually decreased the demand for drugs and firearm violence?

Nothing screams "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!" quite like a militarized zone on the border.

We don't have a Department of Defense or a Secretary of Defense. It is the Department of War and the Secretary of War.
Get with the times.
We will have our war, that is why we have the Department!

Doesn't issuing immunity, by definition, acknowledge that the strikes are illegal?

Just like in the US cities where Trump is pushing and pushing to get some violence to declare Martial Law he is hoping Venezuela strikes back and then he is able to use that as an excuse for actual war.

So Russia gets Europe and the Middle East, China gets the rest of Asia and Africa, and the US gets the Americas? Is that the vision?

IF only there were something like 529 plans that already save for kids futures in a tax deferred way.

Is it really that hard for young men to-------- these days?
Spending their money on some etiquette and dance classes would likely have been a far better investment on their part.

You'd think that they would get to serious work on a budget bill to avoid this same situation in two months.

Right, who am I kidding.

They should just post these alongside the 10 commandments, along with any other lists of religious commandments.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
by Anton Szandor LaVey
1967

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

Maybe the previous owner was Hindu?

Grift, in this administration!?!?
I guess there is a first time for everything.

From the headline I expected this story to be an immigration crackdown.
Maybe the loss of cheap labor has also led to increased costs at slaughterhouses?

but as long as Americans have access to a polling place and a ballot, such threats and (possibly) actions will cause voters to vote Blue, from dog catcher to president...

But Trump is trying to get the people to riot (it has been harder than expected) so he can declare Martial Law and become supreme ruler. There will be no polling places and ballots.

I had really hoped this was not about a football player.

That is an odd hope with "Two-Time NFL Pro Bowler" right in the title

Kennedy has not business holding the position he is in and it's been obvious from the moment he was nominated. Any senator who voted for his confirmation should resign immediately out of embarrassment.

Now do the rest of the cabinet.

You may notice a trend.

It's a feature not a bug.

So, prepare and train specifically for the illegal deployment of the military as domestic police force?
That doesn't seem like a fascist thing to do at all, right?

If he brings Congress back they might look into his destruction of the East Wing.

Watching the video I see Trump awkwardly salute the American flag and either 1)forget what the protocol was and simply continue walking slowly assuming the PM is with him, 2)totally disrespecting the Japanese flag and military and continue walking slowly letting the PM do her thing and not wanting to be involved, or 3)knowing he has balance issues and may fall over or at least stumble attempting a bow, preferring to look like an awkward old man wandering away than an awkward old man falling down.

Guess it's time to take down that "Mission Accomplished" banner.

If they don't want to renew Obamacare subsidies they could just pass a law that gives all Americans the same health coverage they get for free.

Wrong brown people.

I still think that Trumpf, Vlad, and Xi have already divvied up the world.

China already has huge ports at the Panama Canal (which pisses Trump off) and is building one in Peru. Trump will be lucky if he can move fast enough to keep up with Xi to keep part of South America.
Trump plans on his latest whim where Xi plans for the next century.

A cryptocurrency promoted in January by US first lady Melania Trump was part of a sophisticated fraud that "leveraged celebrity association and borrowed fame' to sell legitimacy to unsuspecting investors," a new legal filing has alleged.
