BREAKING: The U.S. deficit hit $984 billion in 2019, soaring during Trump era

Trump. Your CONSERVATIVE President.

GDP is higher than interest rates by a longshot

they can keep issuing debt and nominally it doesnt matter bc the spread is advantageous to the US treasury

the terminus doesn't matter because they can just issue new debt and roll it forward

status as a reserve currency (because other savage countries lack accounting standards and independent audit functions) helps us keep doing this

also these if it really needs to come to that

Spoiler: show

Microsoft beat Amazon for JEDI. Coincidence? Me think not

These people work so hard to avoid just saying “his ambitions are undemocratic and impeachable.”

I think the problem is that in each of Trump's impeachable ambitions they see a valid opportunity to advance part of their party's platform, so they're willing to run their party into the ground in hopes of getting their policies across.

Also I think we need to note the increase of constitutional Republicanism -- that is, a large portion of party leadership who take a narrow reading of our founding document, and basically jettison all other laws and established policies that doesn't suit their agenda. The Tea Party hangover is sort of the unnamed driver behind much of this shit.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham added, "I worked with John Kelly, and he was totally unequipped to handle the genius of our great President."

Dumb fuck thinks that killing Baghdadi will get numbers like when Obama killed Bin Laden — and it probably will for a minute — but he’s just entrenched us into a decade-long battle with ISIS for biliions of dollars and way more innocent lives when our prior engagement policy in Syria was letting them fight it out themselves AND keeping US civilian beheadings at an all-time low

Fuckfuckfuck im not even vaguely super smart about Middle East policies, and this guy is surrounded by policy wizards and can’t get it right.

Man, does this guy ever get off on describing executions.

Two different tweets from trump telling people to stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. Now this

“Bin Laden was big but this was bigger”

This Baghdadi guy isnt significant. What did killing Bin Laden accomplish? Give it a month or two and there will be some new baddie at the top of the list. It's meaningless.

Also, Lol@ that completely staged situation room photo. This guy is so fucking jealous of Obama.

It would be hilarious to see a video of this guy waving and saying, "uh, I'm not dead."

How many at that table think Trump is the stupidest man they’ve ever met?

They did some odd, odd retouching in that photo. It looks like they were all photoshopped in from different pics.

I know Trump doesn't want to get booed out of the stadium while throwing the first pitch but there is also a part of me that wonders if he's physically able to do it with his nuerological problems. I went back and watched Bush do it after 9/11. He aced that shit. Probably the most impressive thing he did as president.

Of the six? Six at least.

now that trump has finally gotten his first taste of bloodlust, and the ratings bump that comes with it, i wonder if he'll finally sign up for that war with Iran that he keeps turning down
