What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[TomUS]

You appear to have missed out large parts of that link you degenerate.

You appear to have missed the fact that Serb TV admitted and apologized for being a propaganda arm of their murderous government.

If the Houthis bombed the New York Times or an NPR station would that be legitimate?

If Iraq had been able to bomb American media outlets who were cheer leading the invasion for GWB, those outlets would have been legitimate targets.

Trump's waiting to be able to sign a bill that will eviscerate Medicaid, with healthcare consequences for tens of millions of American kids, maybe he should let somebody else worry about sick British babies.

This would tip the Supreme Court very far right:

But it is unlikely that Kennedy will remain on the court for the full four years of the Trump presidency. While he long ago hired his law clerks for the coming term, he has not done so for the following term (beginning Oct. 2018), and has let applicants for those positions know he is considering retirement. . . .

It's not terribly surprising that Kennedy would consider retirement — indeed, there was some thought he could even have announced it last week, when the court's term ended — but this looks like a pretty good indicator that it will come at some point in President Trump's first term. If Kennedy is considering retiring in 2018, is he really going to stick it out until 2021, when he will be 84 years old? That seems even more unlikely now than it did before.

Analysis | Republicans just quietly got some very good Supreme Court news

This was the real prize in the last election. Whoever won would likely determine the direction of the court for at least the next generation. This is "crossing the streams" bad.

He'd probably be cheering it on like he did the attempted coup in Turkey

Does it even make much difference when 'RBG' lets the Muslim ban just sail through? What a terrible institution.

Almost all of the votes over the last decade or better have been 5/4 votes with Kennedy usually the deciding vote. The right has been trying to undermine Habeus Corpus, the fourth and fifth amendments, voting rights, minority rights, etc. All this while expanding the definition of a person under the law to include corporations. (Apparently they even have the right to a religion now.) The only thing preventing things from being much worse is this 5/4 division. This retirement would blow that slim thread away in one blow.

Here's just one case that would have been decided differently:

Obergefell v. Hodges - Wikipedia

I wasn't being entirely serious, just noting how awful it is even now.

I can agree with that.

Yes, the GOP leadership have been saying for a while packing the Supreme Court is far more important than what wonder working twit is the tenant in the Whitehouse. That's the main reason the Evangelicals and Republican establishment came to tolerate Trump's nonsense. These people may have voted for an unqualified oaf but are not stupid when it comes to how US politics works.

When a Muslim doctor arrived in a rural Midwestern town, “it felt right.” But that feeling began to change after the election of Donald Trump.

So, Trump wants all this confidential data on registered voters, so it can be released to the public? What?

Yep - I guess what he's really trying to do is highlight what Republicans see as the Kafkaesque horrors the Brits have to endure under their socialized medicine system, which their party's healthcare bill is trying to prevent.

That was my thought when i read about it. He's throwing 22 million of health care but he suddenly cares about this one baby.

There was a war on. Clinton/NATO bombed many Serbian targets. It was a propaganda arm of Milosevic and was a legitimate military target.

Nope, infrastructure isn't a legitimate military target.

Linky.

That's a wee bit polarised. Mind Republicans have been calling CNN the "Communist News Network" almost since it started.

On Bloomberg War or Recession Might Be Needed to Break Low-Vol, Goldman Says

...
“Volatility spikes have been hard to predict as they often occur after unpredictable major geopolitical events, such as wars and terror attacks, or adverse economic or financial shocks and so-called ‘unknown unknowns’ (e.g. Black Monday in 1987),” London-based Mueller-Glissmann and Rizzi said. “Recessions and a slowing business cycle have historically resulted in a high vol regime across assets.”

Goldman Sachs puts the chances of a recession in the next two years at 25 percent.
...

Bankers unlike ordinary mortals really hate periods of low volatility.

It strikes me here the Trump era might deliver on either of these options or both.

Elements in his administration toying with a war with Iran. The US executive is also giving out very confused signals that may cause the Iranians to chance their arm. Accidentally stumbling into such a war is fairly easy. That can quickly get large and nasty. Miscalculating on North Korea is also possible.

Trump's got an economic agenda that might lead to a damaging trade war or crazed deregulation of the sort that led to 08 crash. He also rode into office with a slow but upswinging economy that was developing various bubbles and may be due for a dip soon. A billionaire grifter being POTUS and proceeding to surround himself with similar folk caused not a little exuberance amongst investors.

In war, I think infrastructure and industry are legitimate targets (eg: WW2) but the point is irrelevant as the US war against Serbia was illegitimate in and of itself. It was nothing more than an act of aggression by US imperialism to redraw the map of Europe in favour of US and EU interests. Does anyone actually believe the crocodile tears of Clinton and Blair over their supposed concern for the situation in Kosovo and its people?
