National Cathedral says Trump didn't need to give 'approval' for McCain funeral
The Washington National Cathedral disputed President Trump's claim that he had to "approve" the funeral of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
"Washington National Cathedral was honored to host the funeral service for Senator John McCain. All funerals and memorial services at the Cathedral are organized by the family of the deceased; only a state funeral for a former president involves consultation with government officials," a cathedral spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill on Thursday.
"No funeral at the Cathedral requires the approval of the president or any other government official," he added.

Trumps America is falling into disrepair. The state of Maryland is begging the federal government to let it takeover the 25 mile Baltimore Washington parkway currently maintained by the national park service. The road condition has gotten so bad, last week they lowered the speed limit from 55 to 40. Two of the largest employers in the state of Maryland, The NASA Goddard space flight center and the National Security agency are mainly accessible to employees via the BW parkway. It is also a main commuter route between downtown Baltimore and downtown DC. It is also the main access to BWI airport.
The road condition has gotten so bad it might even be worse than driving in Pennsylvania.

Quote:
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is ramping up his criticism of the National Park Service as he pushes for a state takeover of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
In a letter sent to Maryland’s U.S House and Senate members Wednesday, Hogan urged them to “strongly support the transfer” of the parkway from the park service to the state of Maryland.
“We have reached a breaking point with potholes, congestion, crashes and debris,” Hogan wrote. “These conditions are unacceptable for Maryland commuters, and our administration needs your support for this transfer initiative now more than ever.”
A bumpy and damaged stretch of the B.W. Parkway in Laurel, Maryland, remains a major problem for drivers even after the speed limit was lowered to make things safer.
Earlier this month, the park service reduced the speed limit from 55 mph to 40 mph between Maryland routes 197 and 32.
Still, vehicles are frequently seen pulled over to the side of the road with damaged tires.
“As public outrage has grown, NPS has increasingly demonstrated it is simply not up to the task of maintaining (the parkway),” Hogan wrote. “It is clear that the state taking ownership of the parkway is the only viable long-term solution to these problems.”

Jared Kushner, who couldn’t get top secret clearance until his daddy in law made it happen, has gone full hillary Clinton and is using private email servers and messaging apps to conduct government business. It’s like they do every god damned thing they accuse everyone else of doing.
Jared Kushner is using WhatsApp to conduct U.S. foreign policy Asked whether Kushner has ever sent any classified information over WhatsApp, Kushner’s lawyer Abbe Lowell told lawmakers: “That’s above my pay grade.”

Don't worry, when the next Dem president fails, even if it's 40 years later, they will probably connect it to the Trump administration.

...I have heard that Shitty Schiff and Stupid Schumer have been reported to have inside information that Trump is colluding with Russia to win 2020.
This have been reported in the NYT, The Washington Post, even CNN and MSNBC will be echoing the pre-election in 2020 about colluding with Russia.
After all, he is a lying mother fucker and is destroying the world with his hateful policies.

We’re only halfway through his term and job growth has ceased. Trade deficit at record levels. Deficit nearly doubled. Tax refunds down 25%. GDP growth peaked at 2.9 % and is now under 2%. Stock market stagnant for over a year. Auto plants shutting down.

Only if the Trump administration was found to be responsible, XUL.
For example, we know that Reagan took the country from the middle class and gave it to the rich. There's no denying it anymore, as every metric proves it's true.
Reagan stopped upward gains by the middle class and gave it all to the rich by attacking labor and unions:
Reagan was the first President not to increase minimum wage, causing a sharp decline in real minimum wage that the country has never recovered from:
Reagan reversed the downward trend of debt/GDP by giving tax cuts to the rich:
Reagan was responsible for a sharp decline in US exports as a percentage of GDP that we've never recovered from:
Reagan was EASILY, and BY FAR the worst president this country has ever had for the middle class.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

The state legislature of heavily democratic New York is getting rolling on forcing the release of Trump's state tax returns.
I have two thoughts.
Aren't state's rights great!
Think maybe Trump wishes he was paying his taxes in Alabama?

So how can you already be planning on voting for him. Because ever single person running is better. Even if a Republican challenges him, they are better (as long as it's not Pence).
No president would be an improvement.
Also, the wall isn't going up. I know he says that but it's a boldfaced lie. Only thing being worked on is fixing some of the existing barriers.
Even if it did go up, it wont change a thing. Never all illegals are here because they overstayed their visas. There's barely anyone crossing the boarder in the desert.
His tax cuts helped the wealthy. Period. Or did you not read them?
He shits on our allies and sucks Kim Jon Un, Putin, and any other piece of shit dictator.
He spends 2/3 of the day insulting and bullying people on twitter and talking shit about agencies that work for him. He claims innocence but refuses to cooperate with Congressional orders.
He thinks the SCOTUS will save him from his choice to not let his people testify in Congress. The court has ruled several times that Congress' power of investigation is at it's pinnacle when investigation possible crimes in the Executive branch.
That's why Barr testified today, because he knew they would arrest him if they subpoena him and he doesn't show. It's happened before and the court ruled in Congress' favor. It will again if needed.
The economy is only booming if you look at the stock market. That's rich people money and not at all a good gauge for everyone else and the economy in general.
I could go on but you all know he's a liar, a racist and a misogynist who has been accused by many women of sexual harassment and assault, including a teenager girl.
He's an idiot. He has no plan. His only plan is to appeal to his base by blasting his enemies and appealing to his bases racism and fear.
The only good thing to come out of this is realizing that at least a third of the people in this country are either stupid and vote on party lines no matter what; or they love that he's a crass racist who acts like a child at all times and can't carry a thought more than five or so words at a time.

There are always extremist elements to any mass movement - to focusing on that fuels and discredits it - that's how mass media discredits and aggrandizes every single popular movement in the country. They don't even need to really exist - they can just hire some actors to go dress up in 'whatever movements regalia' and then go break some windows, take a video and post it on social media. Internal provocateuring is an age-old method used by the government to discredit and shatter any and all social movements before they take grip.
Honestly, I find the way black people are regularly treated by cops and the justice system in this country to be vastly more fucked up than anything BLM has ever done so yeah imma side with them.

Almost every demographic is treated poorly by the police and justice system in the US today, the only way to escape it is wealth.
Policing is now a money generating enterprise, they don't care about your race or sex anymore. They're going to go after you, they have quotas to meet.
That's why the NFL protests couldn't get any traction, most of the fans were thinking to themselves that over the top policing isn't exclusive to non-whites, they had the experiences to back it up.
Too bad the movement had a 'no whites allowed' clause to it, it may of had a legitimate chance if it didn't. But that was never the goal, it was always about conflict and division, isn't that right?

Don't even go there with that #ALL LIVES MATTER bullshit - changing the subject and pretending that a white soccer mom is going to be treated remotely the same as a black guy with wearing a hoodie... that's so fucking untrue and you know it
Yeah - the corruption & money thing is a thing - but so is the racism thing... these sort of whataboutisms are meaningless distractions. Stick to the topic.
