Quote:Remember Vietnam? That was JFK. Bay of Pigs? That was also JFK. Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? JFK, again. The building of thousands of H-bombs? JFK. Who decided to drive in a convertible down the streets of Dallas, against the advice of the Secret Service? JFK. He died because he was terrible at his job, making ridiculous decisions. Unsurprising, he was also an adulterer, as was LBJ, who really screwed up Vietnam. I forgot that LBJ had a perfect opportunity to stop Nixon from being elected, since LBJ knew of Nixon's treason, but LBJ did nothing. LBJ was a fool, liar, coward, and blowhard, much like Trump.

"The fact that it took nearly 50 years for Nixon’s secret to emerge also offers vital lessons for today. It shows how hard it is to find definitive proof of collaboration with a foreign power when officials are determined to hide the truth. It illustrates why a president might hesitate to call out such malfeasance by a candidate from the opposing political party. And it demonstrates the lengths an ambitious politician will go in the pursuit of power—even at the expense of his own country’s interests."
6ix, it is pretty unlikely you'd see the link between Nixon/Vietnam and Trump/Russia, but it is there. It is even more unlikely that you'd see the link between JFK's extraordinarily bad judgment as President/his adultery and Trump's extraordinarily bad judgment as President/his adultery. Adulterers, in my experience with employees, also have very poor judgment on their day-to-day job. The guys who can't keep their dick in their pants can't keep their mind on their job.

Quote:Besides adultery, there are other ways for a President to demonstrate he is not in command of himself. Do you remember Bush's alcoholism and cocaine abuse? I do. He was never again fully in control of himself. Unsurprisingly, his Presidential decisions reflected his lack of self-command. Dick Cheney could push Bush around to whatever felt best to Cheney.

Trump administration overhauls U.S. wildlife protections over objections of conservationists
WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Monday finalized changes to provisions of the U.S. Endangered Species Act it says will streamline the decades-old wildlife protection law but which conservation groups say will threaten at-risk species.

Hey T., this is the stuff going on behind our backs so-to-speak. While the headlines chase Trump's mindless tweets, his admin is busy deregulating just about everything that holds big companies responsible and accountable.
He's showed himself to be more Pro Wealthy & Big Business than anything else so far - trillion $ tax cut for example. Another thing that makes the profile of his typical supporter so laughable.

83 Environmental Rules Being Rolled Back Under Trump
"President Trump has made eliminating federal regulations a priority. His administration, with help from Republicans in Congress, has often targeted environmental rules it sees as burdensome to the fossil fuel industry and other big businesses.
A New York Times analysis, based on research from Harvard Law School, Columbia Law School and other sources, counts more than 80 environmental rules and regulations on the way out under Mr. Trump.
Our list represents two types of policy changes: rules that were officially reversed and rollbacks still in progress. The Trump administration has released an aggressive schedule to try to finalize many of these rollbacks this year."
Just the first 40:
1. Canceled a requirement for oil and gas companies to report methane emissions.
2. Revised and partially repealed an Obama-era rule limiting methane emissions on public lands, including intentional venting and flaring from drilling operations.
3. Loosened a Clinton-era rule designed to limit toxic emissions from major industrial polluters.
4. Stopped enforcing a 2015 rule that prohibited the use of hydrofluorocarbons, powerful greenhouse gases, in air-conditioners and refrigerators.
5. Repealed a requirement that state and regional authorities track tailpipe emissions from vehicles traveling on federal highways.
6. Reverted to a weaker 2009 pollution permitting program for new power plants and expansions.
7. Amended rules that govern how refineries monitor pollution in surrounding communities.
8. Directed agencies to stop using an Obama-era calculation of the “social cost of carbon” that rulemakers used to estimate the long-term economic benefits of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
9. Withdrew guidance that federal agencies include greenhouse gas emissions in environmental reviews. But several district courts have ruled that emissions must be included in such reviews.
10. Lifted a summertime ban on the use of E15, a gasoline blend made of 15 percent ethanol. (Burning gasoline with a higher concentration of ethanol in hot conditions increases smog.)
IN PROCESS
11. Proposed weakening Obama-era fuel-economy standards for cars and light trucks. The proposal also challenges California’s right to set its own more stringent standards, which other states can choose to follow.
12. Announced intent to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. (The process of withdrawing cannot be completed until 2020.)
13. Proposed repeal of the Clean Power Plan, which would have set strict limits on carbon emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants. In April 2019, the E.P.A. sent a replacement plan, which would let states set their own rules, to the White House for budget review.
14. Proposed eliminating Obama-era restrictions that in effect required newly built coal power plants to capture carbon dioxide emissions.
