It's not telling us much, but it certainly is begging the questions we have been asking anyway: from where is his income derived; to whom is he beholden; where are the "hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes" he said he paid during the campaign? If you haven't watched any of Rachel Maddow's coverage of this revelation, I encourage you to catch a bit of it; it is worth continuing the discussion. As a side note, yes, I realize MSNBC is considered the left-wing cable news network, but they are actually getting better about that, and it's intentional.
There is also something to be said for the possibility of this just being another distraction from the Russia investigation and now the failing new health bill, and that 45 himself may have been the source of it.
Also in today's news, Spicey thinks 45 is "extremely confident" there is still proof to be found to support the ridiculous wiretapping tweets. Because it was extremely abundant to begin with for 45 to make the original accusation . . .
This is the full press conference from 3/14/17. The wiretapping
discussion happens around the 38-minute mark.
And finally, three more bands were barred from entering the country to play at SXSW this week. This time it feels even more racially and religiously motivated as some of the band members are of Egyptian decent. Rather than commenting again, I will stand by what I posted when this first occurred and encourage you to visit the links to the bands and listen to their music through the linked NPR article.
So what I mean by hoping it doesn't take the full four years is that day after day something new comes up that just adds to the pile of shit he and his circle have been feeding us for months now; before, during, and after the campaign, and since the taking office (and I do mean taking it). Eventually it has to break and the structure we have in place will get him thrown out. I just hope it doesn't take a full four years for those things to finally add up to a sum that the majority of Congressional Republicans can't stomach anymore. I still think it will take at least until after the midterm elections next year before anything will happen; if anything will happen . . . .
