More Pruitt corruption

On @TeamCavuto, McConnell shuts the door on the bipartisan bill to protect Mueller: “I’m the one who decides what we take to the floor, that’s my responsibility as majority leader, we’ll not be having this on the floor of the Senate.”

McConnell is personally blocking legislation from a vote to protect the probe that Trump just labeled "a disaster for our country" while standing next to Putin. Will GOP members do anything to force his hand on this?

Tax cuts benefit shareholders much more than workers

This article explains where corporations have used the savings from the tax cuts. Shareholders are the people company executives report to, not the employees. Therefore, they are going to give the benefits to the shareholders.

Sad!

Update: Tax cut riches have gone to execs and investors over workers by nearly 3-to-1 margin

Impeachment?

This is a good column on why impeaching Trump won’t work based on the Clinton impeachment effort from the 1990s.

There’s also this point. Democrats should stick to the real issues.

Ax is exactly right. Midterms can be, among other things, a referendum on this Administration, its policies and its supporters – at federal and state levels. Midterms should not be centered around questions of impeachment. https://t.co/EHQE8jQkPU

Also, Republicans could use the threat of impeachment to motivate their base.

We should let the investigations play out and see where they take us. I think it’s likely they will find criminal financial dealings by Trump but I doubt they will send him to jail.

Sad!

Trump should not be allowed to promote his properties

Stating the obvious here, in quotes like this, President Trump is using his elected position to promote his Trump Organization-owned golf club/resort. Initiation fee doubled to $200k after he became president. https://t.co/WvgGamlhdk

Trump is using the presidency to promote his properties and the media helps him by broadcasting his statements. They should not broadcast promotions for his properties and shouldn’t give him free publicity by calling them by name. It’s enough to say he’s at his club at [city, state]. That’s all we need to know.

Sad!

Trump Crime Family

I admit it. I hope Trump goes to jail.
