Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
This statement is amazing. He's saying that he personally right now doesn't have evidence, that it may or may not exist, but that the fact that he's been told by "many folks" that there's nothing there is sufficient for there not to be an investigation.Max Peck wrote:
“As of right now, I don’t have any evidence of any phone calls. It doesn’t mean they don’t exist. . . . What I’ve been told by many folks is that there’s nothing there,” Nunes (R-Calif.) said.
Nunes contended there was no need at this time for a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of contact between Russian officials and Trump campaign aides.
For context, the ranking democrat on the committee said that they haven't reviewed any documents or taken any testimony. Which is consistent with Nunes's "I don't actually want to investigate this" statement above.

The flaw with that line of reasoning is that he was that he was 1) often very vague and 2) he took many positions on many issuesArchinerd wrote: Trump actually does do a pretty good job of doing what he says he's going to do. His policies are just based on lies.
It's easy to say you've followed through on something you've said when you were intentionally vague and took multiple positions on lots of issues.
(And yes, his policies are based on lies, too)

Pentagon delivers draft plan to defeat Islamic State to White House
I'm a little disappointed to find that it is primarily written, with graphics. I was hoping for something involving interpretive dance.A Pentagon-led preliminary plan to defeat Islamic State was delivered to the White House on Monday and U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis was expected to brief senior administration officials, a Defense Department spokesman told reporters.
Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis told reporters that it was the framework for a broader plan and looked at Islamic State around the world, not just Iraq and Syria.
Davis said the plan would define what defeating Islamic State meant and was one that would "rapidly" defeat the militant group.
He added that Mattis would discuss the plan, which is primarily a written one with accompanying graphics, with members of the Cabinet-level Principals Committee.

Max Peck covered it. NASA is cautious. Trump is not cautious.Ralph-Wiggum wrote:I hadn't heard about this. So the plan is to do what we did 50 years ago or is there something more that I'm missing? I'm all for space flight, but that seems a pretty big waste of money when we could be using it for other things (manned mission to Mars?).Kraken wrote: At least NASA should be safe, if the rumors about Trump's (literal) moonshot are true. NASA has been directed to explore making the first flight of Orion crewed, essentially duplicating Apollo 8, and Trump would like to see that happen before the 2020 election. If NASA wants to protect their budget I'm sure they'll find that it's feasible.
Neither is Elon Musk, who has announced that he, too, wants to duplicate Apollo 8, and he wants to do it next year. That's even bolder than Trump's reelection stunt if they follow through. The SpaceX capsule isn't even man-rated yet, the heavy booster hasn't flown, and their cargo booster blows up more often than one would like.
Musk's focused on Mars. Officially, so is NASA. But it's looking more and more likely that NASA's going to try to beat China to the moon in the '20s.

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
Business Insider
In a time of extreme policy confusion, 3% GDP growth is one of the only firm targets we have to hang onto.
The problem is that in interview after interview, Donald Trump and his surrogates have demonstrated that they have no idea how to get there.
Take, for example, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' confirmation hearing. He told senators that a combination of tax reform, a more self-sufficient energy policy, and increasing exports would do the trick.
...
Chief White House Economic Adviser Gary Cohn has also talked about the magic path to 3% GDP growth, mostly saying that tax reform and deregulation would get us there. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the target was "very achievable" and spouted the same lines.
Unfortunately, that's not how GDP growth works.
GDP growth is a function of how many workers enter the workforce and how productive those workers are. It has nothing to do with energy consumption or how much we export — unless that manages to bring in more workers.
"The problem for the Trumpians is that we've had eight years of recovery," Lee Branstetter, a professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon University, told Business Insider. "Now unemployment is well below 5%, and there's just not a lot of slack in the US labor market. ... It's essentially mathematically impossible to get the growth they're talking about."
...
A lot of Trump's ideas — like increasing the defense budget, cutting taxes, and slashing budgets for tiny programs — come from the Reagan playbook.
GDP growth was stronger during his presidency, but it wasn't because of those policies. Again, it was a function of demographics. Reagan, more like Obama, took office during a deep recession, when there was plenty of slack in the labor market.
"Back in the '80s, baby boomers were coming into the labor force, and many women were entering the workforce for the first time, too," Branstetter said. "That resulted in the workforce increasing by 1.7%, and because of technological advancement, productivity growth was running at about 1.7% as well."
That's where you get your 3% GDP growth number.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

President Donald Trump acknowledges that there remains hundreds of unfilled jobs in his administration, but says "they're unnecessary to have."
In an interview with Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" that aired Tuesday, Trump says he has no intention of filling many of the open positions.
He says, "I say, 'What do all these people do?' You don't need all those jobs."
Trump also says that some are looking to criticize him for eliminating those positions, but he adds, "That's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. We're running a very good, efficient government."

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
If I rip open an old watch and shake out the gears, then pick up a few of them and stuff them back in, I can't close it up and then declare "This works great!" as I show people how the hands on the front just flop and spin without control. The only objective you can possibly accomplish with that is supporting people who hate time and want to live without it.
The only people who are going to benefit from what Trump is doing will be large scale businesses who will be allowed to plunder and ravage the American landscape with impunity until we spend 30 years trying to rein them in. It's not at all unsettling that Trump and his clan will be riding that charge while screaming "PROFIT!!!" after he's left office.

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
ThinkProgress
In an interview with the Miami Herald published Sunday, Bill Owens — father of Chief Ryan Owens, the 36-year-old Navy SEAL who died during President Trump’s first military operation — criticized the Yemen raid, and said he doesn’t have any interest in talking with Trump.
“Why at this time did there have to be this stupid mission when it wasn’t even barely a week into [President Trump’s] administration?” Owens said. “For two years prior… everything was missiles and drones (in Yemen)… Now all of a sudden we had to make this grand display?”
Trump was asked about Owens’ comments during a Fox & Friends interview that aired Tuesday morning. He responded by trying to blame President Obama for a mission Trump gave final approval for over dinner with his advisers during his first full weekend as president.
“Well, this was a mission that was started before I got here,” Trump said. “This was something that was, you know, they wanted to do. They came to see me, they explained what they wanted to do — the generals, who are very respected, my generals are the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe.”
...
And despite Trump’s attempt to dodge accountability, NBC reports that “[p]lans for the raid were begun during the Obama administration, but Obama officials declined to sign off on what officials described as a significant escalation in Yemen. Just five days in, Trump greenlighted the mission.”
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
Isn't it funny how during the campaign, Trump said that the generals were terrible and crumbling, but now that he's in office, they're suddenly great? We know he didn't just replace all of them. He does realize that those generals probably still remember what he said about them before, and are comparing it to what he's saying about them now, right?

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
linkDuring a meeting Tuesday with state attorneys general, President Trump apparently suggested the recent spate of anti-Semitic threats across the U.S. could have been an attempt to make other people "look bad." When asked about the fact that there have been 89 bomb threats at 72 Jewish community centers and schools in the U.S. and Canada since the start of 2017, Trump reportedly responded by saying "sometimes it's the reverse." "He just said, 'Sometimes it's the reverse, to make people — or to make others — look bad,' and he used the word 'reverse' I would say two or three times in his comments," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said.

Re: The Trump Presidency Thread
An ex-Fed official called Trump's proposals "a sugar high." As noted, the economy is already functioning near capacity. Deficit-fueled labor shortages would be good for wages, but the wages of wages is inflation and higher interest rates. (I'm assuming they won't encourage immigration.)Zarathud wrote:Instead, Trump is going to shrink the labor force and discount education. We might get a one time burst of investment in worker-replacing technology paid by tax breaks.
The border tax is going to cause its own economic chaos.
By my calculations, this sugar high would wear off just about the time we elect a Democrat to clean up all the vomit.
