Re: Trump Staff Picks

What the fuck is Jon Huntsman thinking? Has he lost his mind?

Ambassador to Russia?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/08/jon-huntsman-us-ambassador-russia-donald-trump
It made sense when he was Chinese ambassador- he speaks fairly fluent Mandarin. But Russia? After the things that Trump [strike]said[/strike] tweeted about him in the past?


@JonHuntsman called to set up a meeting. Haven't returned his call.

The lightweight, @JonHuntsman, used my name in a debate for gravitas--it didn't work. Sad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 16, 2011
Our diplomats are weak: @JonHuntsman's China policy proves why we need businesmen to negotiate against China.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 19, 2011
China did a major number on us during the reign of @JonHuntsman. He was easy pickens!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2012

This seems to be a pattern. Trump emasculates his opponents with the one-way, spineless form of communication called "tweeting" then he hires them. It's what he did with Rick Perry and Ben Carson. The question is why these guys have such poor memories.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

Exactly.

Any respect that I ever had for Huntsman is totally gone at this point.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

If he wanted to be brilliant, he'd accept the post and then refuse to go until Trump came honest.
You're assuming that Trump knows the difference between truth and a lie.

Speaking of telling lies, apparently Elaine Chao has not mastered the art. She was sent out to do a slow-pitch interview with Hannity and made the mistake of telling the truth- that Trump's "infrastructure plan" involves allowing foreign investors to "invest" in our infrastructure. So, instead of having Russian billionaires buy Palm Spring mansions, we will allow them to buy our roads and then toll American citizens to pay for them.

So, basically, we allow foreign inv—uh, we allow different kinds of money, private sector money to come into the United States—I’m not saying foreign—to come and fund, let’s say a bridge or a road or it can be any kind of infrastructure.
Realizing that Chao was screwing up by telling too much of the truth, Hannity tries to clean it up and change the focus to "American's don't have to pay a penny":
If I’m hearing it properly, what you’re saying is, for example, if a company were to rebuild a road, they might get their investment back by having a toll on that road and that’s where the taxpayers don’t pay a penny, they make a profit, it’s a win-win? Something like that?

You dems have been claiming that Trump's infrastructure plans would increase the national debt. You would prefer increasing the confiscation from the minority who now pay income taxes. Chao suggests a way to avoid confiscation. Tough luck dems--foiled again.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

:rotflmao:

Ontario did it with highway 407...and a Spanish company bought it at a bargain price, then flamed out in 2009/10 and then we had to buy it back. So effectively we are paying for it three times over.

And we pay a fucking fortune to use it each time...about 30 to forty bucks a trip.

Same way with letting private companies rape us as they built out electrical power system. The Province finally had to re-finance the contracts over another 20 years because people literally had to make a decision between heating and eating.

Americans won't pay the prices it now costs to have private companies raking off huge on-going operating profits on infrastructure.

The labor bosses and their democrat flunkies are the primary agitators and exaggerators for big infrastructure spending. For either Trump or the dems it is a vote buying scheme. At least with toll roads, everyone helps pay.

That's an incorrect statement on several levels. The concerns about deficit spending is not associated solely with either party- it's more of a bipartisan feature of a group of the Republican Freedom Congress and conservative Democrats.

There was a major pushback against Obama because of his "deficit spending" and there were accusations that Democrats favoring increasing the debt to pay for a stimulus package. This is another case of a post that has little basis in fact.

The concern about having a foreign investor owning public roads in the US should be universal. The concern about having a for-profit company owning public toll roads should be universal because there is a clear history of increasing tolls on roads owned by Cintra and other foreign for-profit companies. Increased transportation costs are passed on to consumer as inflated prices for the goods that we buy.

That's the scenario playing out in the US, too. Thirty to fifty year leases between states and private companies, lack of profitability on the roads because of low usage of the toll road, financial insolvency of the private company, increases in toll charges which leads to the failure of the private-public partnership or a taxpayer-funded bailout of the deal.

These deals make sense for things like hotels in airports- a hotel company is much better at operating a hotel than government. It doesn't make sense for public works which are paid for by taxpayers- when they are built, when they are used and when they fail.

Even sources that favor these types of partnerships have acknowledged that they haven't gone well in America historically.

Toll roads, being monopolies, are like untilities and should be regulated like other utilities, especially as to price.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

Flynn was problematic. He was almost obsessed with Iran.

All in all, President Trump has made good appointments. Secretary Rex Tillerson for example is most capable and has lots of experience in the geopolitical realm.

The Forbes article is well worth a read. Thanks
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

So not exactly a staff pick...but a staff un-pick.

The thought is that all the 43 Us Attorneys were sacked because Bharara was being asked to investigate TrumpCo.

So they all had to go.

But Clever Pareet.

He wouldn't just resign. And so he now has even more cred.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/12/here...a-would-want-to-be-fired-by-donald-trump.html

Keeping Bharara would have been a great indicator that Trump really wanted to drain the swamp -- he's been a hunter of corrupt politicians who makes sitting elected officials tremble!

- - - Updated - - -

Well that's awkward...

"Awkward" falls far short -- this signals that Trump is a friend of corruption.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

Very strange move since Trump had earlier assured Preet he wanted him to remain. And in New York, both Democratic and Republican leaders are strongly for him. Trump/Sessions may have just made Bharara Preet's political career a strong probability.
 
Re: Trump Staff Picks

Usually the DAs from the outgoing party resign without being fired. The new attorney wants people loyal to him and whom he can trust. The GOP is pro-business and not anti business as are the democrats.
