That swamp was so drained all they had left were the actual remnants of the swamp.
Nice to see Trump chosing some real outsiders, instead of some New York Elitist you-know-what types !
Joe Sixpack rejoices over all this winning !
Trump also selected Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Rickets to be deputy secretary of Commerce.
Please donât kill me, but its Ricketts, not Rickets.
HoweverâŚseeing how the Cubs caused all of this. /s
and Mnuchinâs actual worth is still being debated.
"Most importantly, he is one of the greatest negotiators I have ever met, and that comes from me, the author of The Art of the Deal. Together, we will take on the special interests and stand up for American jobs,â Trump said in a statement. âWilbur knows that cutting taxes for working families, reducing burdensome government regulations and unleashing Americaâs energy resources will strengthen our economy at a time when our country needs to see significant growth. I am proud to nominate him as Secretary of Commerce.â
So far as Iâve read, Trumpâs proposed tax cuts are a bonanza for creeps like this Goldman troll, and will do sh*t for âworking families.â The GOP long con continues, and its idiot base will continue to cheer them on while their pockets get picked.
"Most importantly, he is one of the greatest negotiators I have ever met, and that comes from me, the author of The Art of the Deal. "
Probably because he counter sued TrumpâŚand won.
I guess that makes Steve, Tom and Elaine the representatives from the Working Class, right ?
Still donât care.
I want the apathetic and the folks that voted 3p to catch a clue. Those are the people that the Democrats need to get after.
CoolâŚthe actual billionaires that brought us to our knees in 2008 are now going to be ruining, er RUNNING the countryâŚguess theyâll try and finish the job.
What is the thing/issue that the Dems are supposed to âget afterâ the fâing 40% of morons who chose to sit the election out? HRC was supposedly tainted with Goldman Sachs speeches. Seems that those speeches didnât do her any good but did a whole world of good for GS. Whatever she supposedly âpromisedâ Wall Street they actually got.
How do you get people to catch a clue when theyâre actively working to dodge it?
I imagine he gets away with this. None of these guys are âchampions of industryâ or manufacturing. They are billionaire financial sector guys. When they write the final chapter of the book America it will be about the Financial Sector. It will be about guys like these and Trump himself.
Itâs really amazing. The reason our manufacturing sector hasnât kept up wit the rest of the worldâs is guys like Mr. Goldman Sachs above bought it and liquidated it ( Romney big on this ) then sold the pieces to foreign lands. They finalized our economy and now we are told theyâre going to bring it all ( industry ) back. Thatâs like putting a tobacco mogul in charge of cancer research.
The talk of the day is conflict of interest. Mnuchin is deeply invested in a world thatâs in conflict with the one Trump says heâs going to create. But like I saidâŚIâll bet he gets away with it.
Took a while, but welcome to âFlashbackâ.
Does anyone remember Trumpâs âking of debtâ comments?
This story has Mnuchinâs response to that.
step 1: remind them about Mnuchin having to explain away the Trump comments.
step 2: Attempt to remind the 40% that the mire that was supposed to go away didnât. Also remind em, that all candidates arenât the same and then ask em, if they are cool with more crocodiles being in DC.
After thatâŚwe wait.
When they write the final chapter of the book America it will be about the Financial Sector. It will be about guys like these and Trump himself.
Agreed completely. By now, a plan is already in place to essentially liquidate the Treasury. At some point, President Pence will get on tv and tell the public that the Treasury coffers are empty and thereâs no way that the government can afford to provide a safety net for its citizens. Sorry guys, thatâs a thing of the past. From now on, there are no government programs. Except for the military and please, donât hesitate to enlist.
Because your country needs you.
@inversion: I just donât see either of those things as having much of an effect. The 40% that sat this presidential election out and treated it like a midterm didnât seem to see any differences in D or R. After 2 years of dismantling the country, I donât think theyâre gonna see the Dems as an alternative because the best we can do at this point is block bad behavior. Thatâs not the best selling point. Iâm not saying it shouldnât be tried. This country is going down; we might as well try anything. Hell, why not.
Yup. It only took 8 years to make Goldman Sachs on your resume a plus.
Oh look, another couple snakes from the swamp he was supposed to drainâŚcolor me shockedâŚ
Then they have to learn the hard way.
Yeah, we all will, unfortunately.
Mnuchin already is saying there wonât be any tax cuts for the rich. Despite Trumpâs plan clearly laying out there will be. A tax plan Mnuchin not only has read, but freaking help write.
So that part of the plan seems to have already failed.
