Why is an economic adviser commenting on this? Doesn’t seem to be his bailiwick.

These sanctions originated in the Treasury Department. Presumably an economic advisor may be a White House political contact with Treasury, but with the freedom to give statements that conflict with Department positions and records.

But frankly I’m not sure the concept of bailiwicks really applies to this administration. Doesn’t Jared handle all diplomatic issues with something like a third of the planet?

I hate cops. This story isn’t even news, it’s just what we have to expect in this country.

Maybe I shouldn’t say that I “hate” cops, but I definitely hate all of the cops that not only do shit like this, but also those that defend this shit. The cops that aren’t offended by this behavior are as dangerous and evil as the murderous cops in my opinion.

The more I think about this, the more my heart hurts for this family. Killed by a police officer, who is apparently protected by the rest of the Justice Department, simply for backing a vehicle into the driveway after opening the garage door.

It hurts me so much to think what this father must be feeling, and how empty anything that can be done must be.

We can’t trust cops, we can’t trust professors, and we can’t trust the president. All authority is kooky and the only person left to guide us is Superman.

It is horrible, but what everybody needs to remember when we read this is that this family isn’t suffering alone. Police murder unarmed people each week in this country. Until we deal with our corrupt and vicious police forces, this will never stop happening.

Lol, certified lunatic Rudy Giuliani is joining Trump’s legal team.

He only ever became the mayor because of that goddamned fat-free yogurt scam.

Online Trump supporters are really good at infiltrating a community and pretending they represent some sort of “silent majority.” It’s like astroturfing, but instead of doing it for pay, they do it out of sheer fanaticism. Gross and creepy.

Yeah, Trump is the least popular president (with the exception of Bush’s final year) in recent memory, but his fans are more devoted than any supporters that a President has ever had possibly in this nation’s history. It’s revolting.
