I think the false connection made here between the GOP mascot and the Hindu god Ganesh needs to be repeated more often to members of Trump's base

This single point confirms that the "legal" argument about the President's power to remove independent commissioners is strictly class warfare
not remotely connected to any consistent doctrine or theory
it is merely a naked assertion of power to protect the kleptocracy from the rabble

The administration doesn't take issue with the Supreme Court's view the @federalreserve.gov is "uniquely structured"with an "historical tradition," Solicitor General Sauer says in hearing on Trump's ability fire FTC Commissioner. But that doesn't mean the president's powers are restricted, he says.

I have some doubts about this meme. Wouldn't a Catholic church respond positively to this woman's request for help? Perhaps they referred her to the diocese and that doesn't count?
Otherwise very plausible, and one of the reasons I don't participate anymore

Trump has a long way to go before he can top Obama's 3,797 drone strikes outside of active war zones.
Some of Obama's victims were children under 5.
But Trump has demonstrated how you can take *popular* crimes against humanity and make them *unpopular*.
