It is absolutely incredible to me that Mnuchin is refusing to release Paycheck Protection details

I mean, a billion here, a billion there..... pretty soon you're talking about real money

He's on record as saying loan details are 'proprietary information'.

yeah but joe biden's emails

I just... who's the 'proprietor'??? (Apart from the American people obv!)

It's almost as if these jackasses think it's their money

Given the numbers of Congresspeople who dipped into PPP, I guess now it kind of is

The whole thing is disgusting - millionaires shovelling tax dollars into their own pockets in the middle of a pandemic!

Yep

Torches, pitchforks, etc.

yeah I didn't think I had the capacity to be surprised w/ these people anymore but this one might take the cake

how does anyone in this country read abt this, look at Steve Mnuchin's face, and think "yeah, that's okay with me"

much less 40%

Steve Mnuchin always looks to me like someone wearing some now-faceless person's ill-fitting face over his own face so I never look at his face and think 'yeah, that's okay with me'.

Steve Mnuchin and Nicholas Cage in Face/Off.

L to R: Steve Mnuchin, Nicholas Cage.

haaa xp when this guy, with that face, who is doing this, dropped into the mint to pose with sheets of money

there's no shortage of cartoon villains in this whole thing but he really knows how to dial it up

yet he may be the least evil and most capable of the Cabinet secretaries?

sounds like a poll

I think they're probably all as fully evil as the job allows

like if he was at EPA or something he'd be just as bad as whoever's there presently

i mean he's not whomever is gutting the department of the interior in that money is just a bunch of electrons being shuttled around by wires. low impact, high reward

Half a TRILLION and they don’t think they need to tell anyone where it went.

well, it's proprietary, you see

Might have been nice to have a presidential candidate running who’s against that sort of thing, right about now

Voice of America seems fucked

bolton: trump stupid

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/politics/bolton-book-trump-impeached.html

John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser, says in his new book that the House in its impeachment inquiry should have investigated President Trump not just for pressuring Ukraine to incriminate his domestic foes but for a variety of instances when he sought to intervene in law enforcement matters for political reasons.

wait, trump did even more impeachable things, beyond ukraine? a world stands together in shock

great job john fucking bolton, for being there and witnessing all that and not doing jack shit

But if he did, how could he sell his book or book those Sunday morning interviews?

testifying before the house gets us no closer to nuking iran, so why would john bolton bother

that's probably the first time i've listened to culture beat in two decades, so thanks for that

lol my pleasure

I don't think Trump understands the difference between singles and albums:

Trump just has fond memories of life on the B-side.

holy shit Gaetz is a fucking asshole

Here's Cedric Richmond's clash with Gaetz. He really was not happy the GOP keeps offering amdts on antifa, the Mueller probe. The biggest fireworks come at the end.https://t.co/hMAOqNrTiX

Pathetic.

I hate him so much.

I wish someone would hit him.

tonight.

and for him to act all aggrieved at the end with his bit of concern trolling, jesus fuck.

I expect there will be a Bolton book TV adap

j/k, Ryan Murphy's audience doesn't care

idgi, Gaetz isn't even married, what was he working himself into a lather about exactly?

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/politics/trump-2020-election.html

But for now, they said, the president is acting trapped and defensive, and his self-destructive behavior has been so out of step for an incumbent in an election year that many advisers wonder if he is truly interested in serving a second term.

Rather than focus on plans and goals for another four years in office, Mr. Trump has been wallowing in self-pity about news coverage of him since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, people who have spoken with him said. He has told advisers that no matter what he does, he cannot get “good” stories from the press, which has often been his primary interest.

oh this story again

Trump definitely wants to win re-election he's just incapable of even pretending to care about anything other than himself and the TV
