Trump is looking for a few examples of voting discrepancies, especially in minority precincts, so the GOP can rationalize voter suppression on a federal scale.

Do these guys have any respect towards the damn Constitution?

Minority Business Development Agency
Budget: $36 million
Cost per American: $0.11
This federal agency helps minority-owned businesses "with the capital, contracts, and markets they need to grow," according to its website. The agency also advocates and promotes "minority-owned business with elected officials, policy makers, and business leaders."
The MBDA says it helped a minority-owned construction company in Phoenix, for instance, secure $60 million in loans -- which allowed the company to expand operations and hire more employees.

Economic Development Administration
Budget: $215 million
Cost per American: $0.66
The EDA supports "distressed communities with their infrastructure needs that will help drive regional growth," promotes "economic development projects that spur entrepreneurship and innovation at the regional level," and "provides direct technical assistance to firms negatively impacted by global trade."
What does this mean? Seven years ago, the EDA gave a $2 million grant to the Pacific Northwest Diabetes Institute to buy new scientific equipment, in turn providing lab space that would support other high-tech companies in the area. The EDA says the grant ended up creating 184 jobs, saving another 110, and attracting another $500,000 in private investment.

Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department
Budget: $156 million
Cost per American: $0.48

That's until you realize that you will never know if the next sip of water contains that brain eating amoeba.

"The proposal would also recommend cuts to funding of the International Criminal Court, which the U.S. is not a member of and is also already prohibited by law from funding.

In its zeal to cut U.S. support for international organizations, the Trump administration might be going after funds that don’t exist."

Trump became president by belittling, bullying, lying and making up his own version of the truth, he's now doing this on a global scale to world leaders, that's not the way things work Donald, it takes a lot of work and patience to keep these countries from blowing each other to pieces....

But I guess da Hemi is worth it in the end.

 

[Fozz]

All this stuff is so crazy.

And if Spicer did tweet his password 

 

[wavycrocket]

Trump is QUICK to launch a thorough investigation into voter fraud that he says not a single vote came to him....

But said intelligence shouldn't waste time with investigating Russia's hacking of the election.....and we should "get over it".


People clearly don't see the contradiction and stupidity and obvious Bs with that?

Only the parts they like.

But it is not the constitution conservatives hate the most. It is all the laws created during the civil rights era.

The backlash that put him in office will swing back the other way.

I'm split on Manning. Part of me says lay low, the other says she's partly right. I appreciated Obama's attempts to accommodate, it's the right thing to do and everyone should have participated. But the other side simple weren't willing , he should have stomped on their throat.

Pot calling the kettle black

I posted earlier how dude tweeted this seconds after Fox News aired a segment on her using the same exact language

What's funny is that she didn't even say that about Obama,she just said the country needs a bold,unyielding progressive president

Mexico might have big issues within their own government but one thing is for sure they have way too much pride to allow themselves to get bullied
