You never go full Andrew Jackson, the Worst. President. Ever.

Come to think of it, Jackson would probably be even more obnoxious on Twitter if it existed in his day. I should see if anyone has created a fake Andrew Jackson account.

So we're going to see. The fact that Trump, who doesn't strike me as the most astute scholar in American history, has taken such a shine to Jackson isn't the best comfort. My worry is less political and more that someone as pampered as Trump has been throughout his life can take being told he can't do something for four years.

When it comes to hypocrisy, that quote 4/5 threw up a few pages back about deficit spending is hard to beat.
“If there is a temporary increase in the deficit to get our economy growing, I think my fellow Republican members are willing to look at the long game,” said Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), a Trump loyalist. “A growing economy and growing our way to success and financial stability is what we want to see.”
I mean, there's garden variety hypocrisy, and then there's "the absolute core of my economic ideology? Fuck that."

Just read an article in my local paper about how farmers on the west coast who supported Trump are freaking the fuck out because they are losing 70% of their farm hands to the new Immigration law.

Can you say, "ha ha ha ha ha"?

Meanwhile, Trump's pick for Supreme Court Justice makes comments that go against what Trump himself is saying. At least that guy has a fucking spine.

I bet Putin had a blast on that call.

"What do you think of this treaty?"

"Uh. Hang on. I got another call on the line. I'm kinda expecting it. Be back in five."

Details of Trump-Putin call raise new White House leak concerns

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/na ... story.html

Funny that the leaks were basically unaddressed until a detail about a Putin call came out.

Chaffetz town hall. 40 minutes beforehand, they're already at capacity. Hundreds chanting outside.

First question: why won't you investigate Trump?
He stumbles the answer.

"DO YOUR JOB!" And the place cheers wildly.

Chaffetz says he wants to eliminate the Education Department. Tries to get the crowd on his side with a "I want to get rid of Betsy DeVos!"

Guy in the crowd: "We want to get rid of you!"
