Lindsey Graham tells @DanaBashCNN that Trump only will listen to you if you're nice to him. "He can be as dark as charcoal and lilly white, it doesn't matter as long as you're nice to him. You can be the pope and criticize him, it doesn't matter, he'll go after the pope."

November is a long way away. There will be poll movement in both directions between now and then. Way too early to panic.
http://foreignpolicy.com/2018/01/18/trump-ordered-bannon-to-limit-testimony/President Donald Trump personally made the decision to curtail the testimony of former chief White House political strategist Steve Bannon before the House Intelligence Committee, according to two people with firsthand knowledge of the matter.
Trump acted to limit Bannon's testimony based on legal advice provided by Uttam Dhillon, a deputy White House counsel, who concluded that the administration might have legitimate executive privilege claims to restrict testimony by Bannon and other current and former aides to the president, according to these same sources.
But Dhillon has also concluded that Bannon and other current and former Trump administration officials do not have legitimate claims to executive privilege when it comes to providing information or testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to the sources.
Yup, just throw it on the aggregate pile (which can be incorporated into a model), and move onNovember is a long way away. There will be poll movement in both directions between now and then. Way too early to panic.
Yup - especially when there's a government shutdown about to happen like, right now. That's going to hugely affect polling numbers for everyone.November is a long way away. There will be poll movement in both directions between now and then. Way too early to panic.
But it's not, it's top down. Bottom up is starting locally, making changes there, then expanding upwards. Top Down is using a big, wide hammer (state government to solve local issues, national policies to fix state issues, etc.) to address issues. You're arguing for the latter. (because local communities won't fix this on their own because they explicitly don't want to.)
This is like "Trump's the decider" but it's this other guy's fault - at the same time.
He can't. People aren't going to work if they're not getting paid (except for the military) and there's nothing he or anyone else can do about that.What happens if, in the absence of a CR, Trump simply ignores it and continues to run the government at full steam?

What are the remedies available to Congress?
The most consequential proposal would prohibit lawmakers from using taxpayer funds to settle claims. The accused must reimburse the U.S. Treasury within 90 days of a settlement, and if they do not their wages will be garnished. If that's not enough, a members' retirement account and Social Security could also be garnished. Lawmakers would also have to use a new certification process to prove such settlements are not paid out of their congressional office accounts.
The bill also creates a legal office to represent complainants similar to the existing one that provides counsel and representation for members of Congress.
It also prohibits employment retribution, allowing complainants to keep their job while the process proceeds, by working remotely or taking paid leave.
To overhaul the complaint process, which has often been called cumbersome and degrading for the victim, it removes the requirement that a nondisclosure agreement be signed in order for someone to open a complaint.
Furthermore, any confidentiality agreement must be agreed upon by both parties. It also removes a mandatory 30-day counseling stage and 30-day mediation stage that has often intimidated accusers from moving forward. Instead, an investigation is opened immediately and mediation is voluntary.
Probably because it will be Saturday, but he will blame Dems in his tweets.His over 239 pound ass will be on the golf course within 5 minutes of the government shutting down.
He's gonna wonder why everyone else thinks a government shutdown is so bad as he pounds down ice-cream in his bed with his three tvs of cable news by his side.His over 239 pound ass will be on the golf course within 5 minutes of the government shutting down.

Those are both top down, the only difference is the direct public spending vs subsidized private spending distinction.100% agree.
There are different axis here. From an authority standpoint, it's top down because the government is doing it as part of a larger plan, yeah it's top down. But I am working under the assumption that all of these options are being controlled by government. The Foxconn deal and the potential Amazon deal are top down in that sense as well.
I am thinking along the axis of the actual implementation. Along that line I would consider starting with infrastructure to be bottom up and starting by bringing in a large employer top down.
The HFC having the nerve to post this when they're blocking the CR in the House is fucking hilarious. My God, what a mess.
"I've had it with you, young man, you're grounded", Kelly told Trump, according to 72 sources familiar with the matter.It seems like the best way to avoid a shutdown is to tell Trump that he can't go to Mar A Lago during a shutdown.
I'm sure he thinks plenty about it, but if such a thing bothered him enough to do something about it, he wouldn't be a Republican.Graham gives the textbook definition of narcissistic personality disorder while describing the president and seems to think nothing of it
He can't. People aren't going to work if they're not getting paid (except for the military) and there's nothing he or anyone else can do about that.
