Lying E Jean Carroll could not remember what year the alleged incident took place.

Seriously, can ANYONE think of a reason that Donald Trump would EVER have gone into a department store?

Ike Yeadon's avatar

To do what he did, or to take a dump, or both.

Who's spent the last 17 years lying-for-a-living?

She couldn’t remember the dress she wore either.

She could have borrowed a blue one from Monica and blamed Clinton instead. It worked before.

Well sadly it won't matter because the same court just said we don't have election day we have election as-long-as-it-takes-to-get-all-the-ballots, and adding insult to injury, they wouldn't even view Trumps appeal for that E Jean Carrol trainwreck $5 million dollar civil case, so now Trump has to pay the lunatic 5M, and listen to the media chirp about it until he's out of office.

Can't afford to be while paying taxes to support loser zeros like yourself.

I think having certain Agencies protected from the back and forth of partisan politics was a great idea. Without that protection now the rules and regulations will swing wildly back and forth between Administrations making it really difficult for businesses to plan ahead or to know what the rules are.

They work at the behest of the President. This is how We The People retain our power. We vote in the President and it should not be blocked by Congress or anyone else who wants to fill his administration with people opposing his agenda.

How exactly are these nefarious civil servants blocking an agenda? The President is there to execute the laws. He does not make the laws. The Civil Service put the laws into rules and regulations and enforce them. So are you saying the President's agenda is different than the laws Congress passed?

Really Bun? Have you ever been in a workplace situation where people failed to work as a team or there where too many employees who don’t share the same goal? Get real. A president has 4 years and obstruction is how the DC entrenched swamp creatures sabotaged President Trump’s agenda on his first go-around.

skbunny's avatar

Yes, Rules and regulations can be slow- walked. Do you have specific examples where Trump is actively attempting to get a Law that Congress passed executed and the Agency is recalcitrant? It seems to me that what Trump is mainly frustrated about is he doesn't want to follow Congress and is trying to force things that Congress did not pass, or he is obstructing Congress.

But what about accountability? Agencies under nobody’s control become a deep state.

skbunny's avatar

Each Agency had its appointed leaders who could be removed for a cause, not just because you felt so. And there were term limits so allowing for regular changes in leadership. And the Boards had to be a mix of Republicans and Democrats. The steady nature was very valuable. That will be no longer.

Sea Sentry's avatar

That may be, but the lack of accountability disturbs me. Here’s a compromise: I would support the old approach if we de- unionize Federal workers. FDR was vehemently opposed to this idea. Kennedy offered this for Union support in 1960. I think it’s a huge conflict.

skbunny's avatar

Likely a good point, but one I haven't thought about. I do know I am for the Civil Service being based on skill and knowledge and definitely not partisan with just a thin layer at the top that are political appointees who come and go.

I voted for plunder!

We absolutely must overwhelm the voting booth this NOVEMBER! Get out there, bring your friends and family and VOTE RED!

Trump is running our government as well as he's running his fake Iran war.

Thank God for Justice Scalia.

By the implicit logic of this decision, patronage should be restored and the permanent Civil Service retired.

The Supreme Court is bought and paid for by Big Pharma. They ruled for protecting Monsanto/Bayer against the common man getting cancer from their terrible products

Sea Sentry's avatar

Disagree. Glyphosates have been tested globally for decades with no scientific basis that they cause cancer. That’s why there’s no warning label. That’s why every regulatory body in the world has said they’re safe. A UN group (that bastion of rectitude) said, without evidence, that glyphosates “probably “ cause cancer. Probably? That unleashed the usual avalanche of American lawyers who saw easy money. Maybe they do or don’t cause cancer (when used properly one presumes), but so far there is no science to support this allegation.

As for “terrible products “, talk to farmers. You know, those people you’ve never met that grow your food.

Eric Rubin's avatar

Oh, I’ve never met any farmer. I do not live in an artificial city scape like you. Not like I go right down the road to my local grower or anything 🥱. And most countries have banned it in EU. The UN is not a body that is authoritative in any manner like CNN doesn’t produce news. Tell me please, if you are so convinced about glyphosate, what’s the cause of the exponential rise in gluten sensitivity? You’re so clever, you have all the answers. Riddle me this one, how come my allergic reaction to bread disappears when I ensure my diet contains no glyphosate? Who’s paying you to say these things? Which NGO or Big Pharma/Big Agro associated org? Thanks but you have no standing whatsoever to make any conclusions without personal, physical ailments. Don’t be ridiculous, you’re not taken seriously at all “sea sentry.”
