I thought the Mafia was illegal and subject to law enforcement for their tactics and my taxes paying for the wealthy tax breaks when they are not starving and paying for their pools and destruction of my countries physical history and paying for all this -like paying for the Qatar planes additional expenses and Trump taking it for himself when he is no longer president...he can pay for his additions to "his" plane...why is the taxpayer's pockets ripped off?

4. Or more practically, a catalyst allowing Dems control of Congress.

2. He has and always will view the Federal Treasury as his personal money!

5. Trump is a psychotic monster...

... and yeah, I'm aware that it's common knowledge, but it needs to be repeated endlessly just to counter the sane-washing of the treacherous, billionaire-owned M$M. We should chop them into chum for the sharks. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Heh, heh, heh.

someone somewhere decides we would all be better off if he took his dirtnap.

8. MaddowBlog-Trump denies disaster aid to four blue states, after approving aid to six red states

A White House spokesperson said there is “no politicization to the president’s decisions on disaster relief.” There’s compelling evidence to the contrary.

The White House was already facing credible allegations of having politicized federal disaster relief funds, and in recent days, concerns reached a new level. Politico reported:

President Donald Trump denied disaster aid to four Democratic-led states in a move that is raising new questions about whether he’s injecting political motivations into emergency management decisions.

Trump on Friday rejected $227 million in aid requests from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island for help recovering from a major snowstorm in February. Two days earlier, Trump approved Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster aid for six Republican-led states, while extolling the political virtues of GOP politicians and candidates in the states.

The pattern has hardly gone unnoticed.

Members of Rhode Island’s congressional delegation sent the president a letter earlier this week, explaining, “On the same day you approved major disaster declarations for several Republican-led states, you chose to leave Rhode Islanders out in the cold. It is unacceptable to politicize the disaster declaration process.”.....

In other words, even as the White House tells the public that “there is no politicization to the president’s decisions on disaster relief,” Trump has literally connected campaign endorsements to his approvals for aid requests, a move that has no precedent in American history.

PETERS: Yes or no, do you think it's right for a president to approve disaster aid based on whether a state voted for him instead of the amount of damage in the state? This chart behind me is pretty dramatic

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That's not my experience of the president

P: This chart speaks volumes

.....“Never in my lifetime has a president treated disaster relief as a political cudgel,” Washington Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, said in response to the data. “What President Trump has done to politicize disaster relief and hold up support for Americans who need it — including my constituents in Washington state — is frankly unforgivable.”

9. "Los Angeles wildfires survivors say they're being denied aid for political reasons"

Survivors of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires say they're in the crosshairs of the White House v. California political battle over aid. It's making it difficult for some to recover let alone rebuild.

It'd be absolutely unthinkable for a Democratic president to do this to red states. And nobody in his party is standing up to him and holding him accountable to their constituents.
