Trump issues a signing statement saying he will be the oversight for business stimulus, not a Congressionally approved IG, as in the bill he negotiated and agreed to with Congress. So “trust but verify” is now just “trust”.
“Our” President…
But only if you kiss his backside and NEVER NEVER Criticize.
The pettiness is ridiculous. Between his garbage directed at governors, calling reporters LEGITIMATE questions “nasty” and then NOT inviting ALL of Congress’s leaders to the bill signing (which the Democrats did most of the negotiations with HIS administration), he just can’t help himself.
And people wonder why so many don’t trust him.
Is Now the Time to Convert?
Not religion, IRAs! You get to move shares from a Trad to Roth at half the tax you would have paid had you done it in January…
Want to know why we’re the next Italy
It’s not Trump voters, it’s Spring Break. I hope the party was worth it.
Another dose of hypocrisy?
A couple of GOP House members tell Trump to back off when one of their own is “in the crosshairs” of a Trump tweet storm, but said nothing when trump called for liberal SCOTUS members to recuse themselves from any case involving Trump? SMH!
Hell hath frozen over
Trump and Kerry agreeing on something? Say it ain’t so, Don.

How low can he go?
There seems to be no limit, no abyss of swinish ugliness that he will not descend to.
Politics “Trumping” Science
Interesting article how the variables and unknowns introduced by “conservative” and Trump attacks on science can skew epidemiological models.
The article does not make this point but Trump’s predictions of an early end to the need for social distancing (a “miracle”) is a self-defeating prophecy. The more people who believe it, the less likely it is to happen.
It’s not just Democrats…

We’ve seen the many complaints about the House bill that Pelosi was going to tee up if the Senate didn’t pass their version of relief.
Republicans and some of their “anti-” folks are passing laws across the country while the distraction of the pandemic is grabbing (rightly so) the majority of our attention. Priorities, people.
