Narcissism, like greed, is good for the country. You cannot take care of others properly if your own basic needs arent met first. Theres a reason you have to put your own mask on first in airplane.


putting on your airplane mask first isn't narcissism

doing a thing that benefits yourself isn't inherently narcissism

Two Republicans sided with Democrats to keep the rule Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Kennedy of Louisiana.


Not even in my top ten guesses of the two that would have sided with the democrats.

Flake is the fourth most conservative member of the Senate. It would be shocking for him not to vote for something like this. Corker and Flake never said "we're not republicans anymore!" They just said Trump is terrible for the country.

I'm more surprised someone like Collins or Murkowski wouldn't voice opposition to this, but then again they are more socially liberal than anything else.

I really hope this is in fact true


I mean it could be but there is a very slim chance that dude is actually an expert. His twitter bio is:

Owl expert I study owl reproductive health with a focus on ejaculation


His timeline is mostly anti-Trump stuff and his name "dotard" comes from Kim Jung Un's remarks about Donald Trump being a dotard.

Oh and he retweeted this Buzzfeed article where they talked to actual owl experts who said he was probably just making it up:

Trump dragging his feet on those Russia sanctions

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/white-house-vows-implement-russia-sanctions-amid-scrutiny/story?id=50721090

Close to a month after the due date, the Trump administration has still not implemented the Russia sanctions that Congress passed nearly unanimously and Trump signed begrudgingly in August.

..."The Trump administration remains committed to holding Russia accountable -- and has on a variety of fronts," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement, citing in particular a "strongly worded statement" by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

I actually approve of Trumps handling of the JFK documents here.

Hes still leaving things redacted that the agencies asked remain redacted, but they only have until the end of April to make each individual case for the need for redaction.

Seems fair.

Yep this all seems very reasonable.

I'm curious to see how the portion of his base that is driven by conspiracy theories will react to this.

I don't think you can really call it "as transparent as possible" if he's still allowing things to be redacted, but I am glad he didn't just prevent it outright like I assumed he would.

Yeah 2 person company from the hometown of the interior secretary gets 300 million dollars to restore a country's energy grid and nobody is allowed to question the costs, the timetable to finish, or file a claim if the work is never finished. Totally standard stuff I'm sure.

Why would you just assume that? And even if youre right, isnt that deeply troubling?

And yeah we know Trump didnt negotiate this one, because there WAS no negotiation. There was no bidding process allowed for this project. It was just handed to Whitefish.

I would absolutely expect that to be standard and for Trump to have 0 knowledge of the details, because that's really not his job. But yes, capitalism allows this BS to exist, and "company exploits situation to profit" barely registers as news.

Also federal grants require governments to go out to bid for public works projects worth that much money and choose the lowest responsible bidder. Now granted, I don't know the requirements on the federal government themselves, but I would be interested to see if they did in this situation.

In hurricane disaster areas? Doubt it.

Be hard to find companies willing to do the job then. Impossible to gauge what could come up to cause a delay in that scenario. Delays should be expected.

Are you surprised? My cousins company works on bridges. They get almost double their rate to work on federal jobs than regular jobs. They also almost always do the job as slow as possible to extend it to keep working longer. (They are 12 months over schedule on their current job) Why I somewhat doubt shad's comment on reviewing government contracts thing. .
The government has been over paying for work since forever.

I don't know how to fix the system.
