That kind of spin belongs on the Young Turks. Sequential stick-manery. Not worth responding to directly.

He stood up to establishment. Get over it.

Ford small car sales are down.  That is why they found it better to expand a factory in USA and one in Mexico instead of building a new plant in Mexico for their lagging small car fleet.

Congrats on the 700 jobs must go to Trump though.

That's a supposition, and unsubstatiated regarding the sales being down and the degree to which it would affect any plant expansion plans. Not a solid argument at all.

He just hired another Goldman Sachs adviser to a run the Securities & Exchange position, lol, a guy who believes in more deregulation of markets (which is exactly what led to the 2008 collapse).

There's no issue there until wrong doing is shown or conflict of interests exposed for example if Trump had done some speeches for an unusually large amount of money at said company.

Sessions might be the worst pick so far.  He has the most backlash and might actually not get nominated.  Let's hope he doesn't.  Actually the EPA pick is pretty damn bad too.

Sessions will go through, he's been unquestionably loyal to Trump and not wavered in his support. I can see Trump putting his foot down on that. Pruit....that's a different story, Dems are mounting some BS paper tiger to try and garner support on stopping that one regardless of if he's passed.

What you seem to forget is that these policies trying to corrupt the system get produced by the hundreds. Obama never had a news article written about every one of them that he stopped, yet you act like this is such a big deal.

This could easily be a distraction. Make a big show of this policy while another one is quietly passed without anyone knowing.

Ad hominem, we're talking about Trump and the widespread false accusations based on nothing that he would just role over and be a republican establishment puppet. Widely reported and used as building block for countless hit piece against him. Well it turns out it's not true so far.

I see no concession on this matter from dems, or left leaning people.

What a shame that we can't collectively give a fair appraisal as to the current state of play.
