The Politics Thread

So true. Then it looks like they are getting rid of the head of Homeland Security as well. It's not like I have any sympathy for people who choose to work for this administration. I sure don't, but the instability is alarming.  I guess we just have to hope that there is someone still there who is in on the plan to tackle 45 before he tries to nuke anyone.

In today's "Lawsuit Follies", CNN and Jim Acosta are suing the Trump Administration. Yeehaw! And Maryland is filing for an injunction against Matthew Whitaker's appointment to Attorney General.

she's getting fired as well? what is going on?! the only thing I can think is the news the last two weeks have been so bad they are doing this for deflection, which means   MUELLER NEEDS TO GET OFF HIS TAIL AND SERVE INDICTMENTS. 

[Juliajms]

It seems that way, but it's not a done deal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-is-preparing-to-remove-kirstjen-nielsen-as-homeland-security-secretary-aides-say/2018/11/12/77111496-e6b0-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html?utm_term=.9133853f21d9

 

Hopefully this will be an indictment Friday.

Did yous see how now, the WH is saying he got his press pass hard revoked because he was being "rude" to his colleagues?

[marceline]

This really made me smile.

Yep. And rude is still not cause for spitting on Acosta's First Amendment rights as part of the free press. How I love the suffering this trash heap administration is experiencing!

[Khan]

The WH says Acosta's press credentials were revoked because he was rude?  Who's their official spokesperson now, Stephanie Tanner?

Of all the self serving decision Amazon could have made this takes the cake.  Why on earth did they need to choose two of the most expensive rental markets? Well yeah, I know why, but it still makes me sad when I think of the gentrification and housing crunch this will cause. Why not choose places where there is actual land to expand? I suppose Nashville fits that bill, but choosing NYC is just eye roll worthy. Neither NYC nor Virginia/DC should be paying a penny to Amazon.

A look at older voters (it mostly focuses on very Republican voters, naturally, although there are a few other articles on the site about this that I didn't read) and why they broke even for Democrats this year.
