Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

It is you who wants to give the president the power to abuse the DOJ by ordering it to prosecute poeople he doesn't like

It is his duty to instruct the DoJ to investigate people, even if he doesn't like them.

Rep. Fudge sells out for a committee chairmanship. She was the leading candidate opposing Nancy Pelosi to become the next speaker of the house but she has now agreed to drop her candidacy in exchange for a committee chairmanship. This is just more dirty deals and not any meaningful change in Washington. If Fudge ever runs for anything again just remember she has no principles.

No, the President does not and should not have the power to direct investigations. They are supposed to be a completely independent entity, ******.

Not surprising that she'd Fudge on her principles ...

... still, I don't think I could ever dislike Fudge.

Brian Higgins also sells out for vague promises which won't result in any changes. Just two "messaging votes" which will never pass the Senate or be signed by the President.

He directed the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh at the request of the Ds idiot. Get your head out of your ass.

That was no criminal investigation but only a half-hearted extension of the background check into Kavanaugh.
Big difference

He can order criminal investigations too, preliminary that is, especially if the DoJ is not doing their job. He can't involve himself into them. The DoJ still must follow guidelines and not abuse their power.

In the Hillary case, they are already investigating her. This is a bunch of nonsense.

Maybe being rational is one of her principles.

I know Kid is stupid but I will remind the dullard that ordering the DOJ to investigate political enemies was one of the impeachable offenses written up for Nixon's impeachment.

Jesus Christ, you are a stupid man, Kidiot.

Soemthing that, once again, makes you wonder how it could happen that this simpleton became PotUS:
Excerpt from Donnies phone call with a US navy commander for Thanksgiving:

Trump: “Steam is very reliable. Electromagnetic – unfortunately you have to be Albert Einstein to really work it properly...”
Navy Officer: “Yes sir. You sort of have to be Albert Einstein to run the nuclear power plant that we have here as well, but we’re doing that very well.”

[BeBMan]

I'm not Albert Einstein and use Steam for a couple games just fine!

[spambot]

Is he recommending steam ships in the 21st century?

edit: Wikipedia tells me that nuclear-powered vessels still use steam, using nuclear reactors to boil the water. I'm sure Kid will pretend that's what Donald was talking about.

Catapults. Steam vs. electromagnetic.
