Wishi nothing this man does surprises me anymore. He's a conman and a majority of your population bought into it. But instead of just hurting themselves they are getting everyone else hurt.

Oh, the fits about to hit the shan...

But the issues haven’t been limited to scuffles and handcuffs. Earlier this week, Panama’s government entered the fray, announcing that it would be formally investigating the matter. As such, wrote the Post’s Joshua Partlow and David Farenthold, the standoff has suddenly “turned a theoretical concern about the Trump administration — that, someday, the president’s private business might be investigated by a foreign government — into a reality.”

The history of the Panama hotel is as sketchy as any associated with the Trump brand. When the building — described by Trump as Ivanka’s “baby” — was known as the Trump Ocean Club, it served as one of the most noteworthy targets for Colombian drug cartels to launder their money. A 2017 report from Global Witness found that the building, which was “one of Trump’s most lucrative licensing deals” during his pre-presidency days, raked in “proceeds from Colombian cartels’ narcotics trafficking” — and that Trump himself was “one of the beneficiaries” of the laundering.
There is no indication Trump was outwardly aware of any of the cartels’ involvement in Trump property purchases. However, the signs of money laundering were obvious: many of the units were purchased in both bulk and in cash, for instance, and several were purchased via “bearer shares,” one of the most notorious means of using luxury properties to launder dirty money.

What’s more, many of the purchasers were anonymous shell companies — a number of which contained “Trump” in their names. As Reuters reported, in 2013 the property’s first primary broker, who worked closely with Ivanka on the building, said, “When I was in Panama I was regularly laundering money for more than a dozen companies.”

According to the Global Witness report, this is a common feature in Trump business dealings.

Before he became President Trump’s nominee to oversee the safety of pesticides sprayed on our food, Michael Dourson sought to weaken pesticide safety standards for Monsanto and Dow.

We desperately need more chemicals, right? And tax plans that hurt the middle class, and LESS healthcare... Every day is another day in hell

I saw an article stating Trumps health care plan is going to cost about 34 billion more I think it said, and insure several million less people. Sounds like a brilliant plan....

Well, of 330 million population, less than 63 million voted for Trump. Less than 19%.

"...on the grounds that it was not the government’s place to challenge “the reasonableness of a religious belief."

Btw, it's now my firmly held religious belief that if you say you can't serve someone because of race, gender, or religion, that you should be a physical sacrifice to the monument of ancient stupidity.

That's right... as of 5/4/18 I'm a Mayan. Blood sacrifices, bring 'em

Oh. My. Gawd.

Is this all some sort of test to see how much stupid we take before the people with brains SNAP?? Is Trump why there has been so many suicides lately??

The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer evaluate asbestos in homes and businesses as a danger or health risk, as Newsweek reports. Scott Pruitt announced the decision last Friday under President Trump, who believes asbestos is “100 percent safe, once applied.” According to the Abestos Nation Campaign, asbestos kills 12,000 to 15,000 Americans every year. Fifty-five countries have completely banned the use of asbestos in any case, including the United Kingdom, South Africa, Japan and so on, in spite of which the EPA decided it was no longer necessary to evaluate the health risks of this chemical

Nope. Millennials in America are by far the largest generation prone to suicide that the country has ever seen. This began long before Trump was in office.

I don't think that it is necessary to evaluate the health risks of asbestos in 2018. We already know that it's dangerous and even deadly if removed without the proper gear.

That seems to be the only thing happening here. We're just not going to waste any more money deciding if it is deadly or not. That article doesn't seem to have any basis for the other claims that it makes, and certainly doesn't back up it's clickbait title with any information provided in the article.
