.MaddowBlog: Rep. Steve King does himself no favors with civil war speculation.

As 2019 got underway, Rep. Steve King’s approach to race finally started catching up with him. The far-right Iowan made some highly unfortunate comments about white nationalism and white supremacy, and soon, Republican leaders agreed to strip King of his committee assignments.

Rep. Steve King posted a meme Saturday about a hypothetical civil war between “blue states” fighting over which bathroom to use and “red states” with trillions of bullets. On the surface, it’s a problem, to put it mildly, when a sitting federal lawmaker publicly speculates about a violent confrontation pitting half the United States against the other. Adding insult to injury was the transphobic message in King’s ridiculous argument.King’s home state of Iowa was featured in the image as a “blue” state – which means in the congressman’s vision of a second American civil war, his own constituents would be among the targets for the “red” states’ 8 trillion bullets.

Steve Wynn Met With Treasury Officials About Opportunity Zones After Stock SaleSteve Wynn met with Treasury Department officials last year as they were writing rules for a new tax incentive. The meeting took place months after the casino magnate was forced to quit as CEO of Wynn Resorts following sexual-misconduct allegations. I’d also like to talk with regulators about my tax bill, since we are finding out they’re negotiable now. Where do I sign up? That's nice that there are separate rules for the wealthy. So, he’s smart?

Mnuchin tells Congress he'll comply with the law on releasing Trump tax returnsTreasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday said he would obey the law if he receives a written request from Congress to turn over President Donald Trump's tax returns. Sure, man. Sure. Hey, why aren't you giving any time to the documents that are being released? Lisa Page and Peter Strzok docs are pretty important. 1 reference in 24hrs to it, and nothing today about Peter. Guys they aren't reporting on ALL the news and we're just accepting it. :( WHOSE 'law'? TRUMP's? You have some working-knowledge of what he does to any and all who are 'disloyal' to him ... This should be fascinating!
