Washington, D.C. – Today, President Trump signed into law the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking (FEBP) Act (H.R. 4174, S. 2046), which includes the Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act (Title II). The package passed Congress on Monday, December 31, 2018.
The OPEN Government Data Act requires all non-sensitive government data to be made available in open and machine-readable formats by default. It establishes Chief Data Officers (CDO) at federal agencies, as well as a CDO Council.

OPEN Government Data Act passes.
The OPEN Government Data Act will ensure that the federal government releases valuable data sets, follows best practices in data management, and commits to making data available to the public in a non-proprietary and electronic format.

Haha, when he fired Comey it became pretty clear we have a criminal president, then we got everything that happened after. Not to mention We shall see once the investigation is finished, though I don't think the Trumpettes would be capable of accepting such a thing.
Even though you're just a troll here is something to chew on.
Pretty terrible stats for the greatest businessman ever!

It's perfectly normal. Some real estate owners sit on their property and collect rent. Other are actively buying, building, selling. Guess which ones will have more lawsuits? Each little thing in construction costs big bucks, and it's perfectly reasonable for a contractor to go to court instead of cutting 1280 holes in concrete slabs of a finished building that they neglected to make before, when it was easy. They can always argue that the drawing was fuzzy.
Here is an interesting link [archdaily.com] on the subject.

Somebody who thinks that being involved in lots of lawsuits in the real estate market in NYC has zero grasp of the realities of real estate in NYC. Really, zero. In NYC, real estate is the most fiercely contested business, where people sue each other all the time. Real estate interests drive NYC politics as well, so there's a hefty political dimension to all those lawsuits.
If the proprietor of a mom & pop grocery store in Des Moines was involved in lots of lawsuits, then, yeah, there'd be something strange going on there.
It would be awesome if haters would stop preying on the naivete of the public with this drivel.
Washington DC delenda est.

lol sure thing buddly, pay no attention to the last part where he has more lawsuits than 5 other real estate moguls combined. Also do not look at the sex related ones. I am starting to see what your nick is all about.

For the real eye-openers about Trumps business dealings you need to look at things like partnerships with companies like Bayrock (Trump Soho)....companies that pretty clearly are just money laundering fronts for the Russian mob:

No need to question why...that's because major U.S. banks wanted no part of the guy. This is all shit that's been well known long before Mueller of any of this. I mean FFS. This is not normal shit for any businessman, let alone the POTUS.

Yeah, people have to be willfully ignorant to think Trump is not super fucking shady. Sure we have to wait for a criminal conviction in order to definitively say so, but at BEST the guy is a stupid fool used by criminals. That seems unlikely and is hardly much better for a POTUS.
I am shocked by some of the supposedly rational users around here who go out of their way to defend Trump such as Phoenix666 in here. In my mind it increases the probability that a lot of the prolific users around here truly are shills trying to lay down some long term quality astro-turf.

What's actually more astonishing is how quick so many are to ignore the way he's been spouting Kremlin propaganda...shit that nobody outside of the Kremlin would ever say. Especially that recent crap about how the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan because of terrorism and was right to do so! I mean fuck me...Reagan has to be doing fucking back flips in his grave. Even scarier is that Trump never reads shit, so where is it that he's getting these talking points?
There are a LOT of folks here that are in the "what color is the sky where you live" camp.

THANK you! Was just about to reply to this myself. Clearly AC is trying to prove my point about willful ignorance! That insane shit about Afghanistan is just one example too. All the anti-NATO crap and the bizarre statements about Montenegro were mind-boggling as well. Never mind the fact that Trump has just plain always been way up Putin's ass when the rest of the world knows the guy's pure fucking evil. Yes...Trump is the source indeed.

Seriously? That was a classic example of Soviet aggression and they were pretty much ready to exterminate everyone in the country to accomplish that goal. The ONLY people on planet earth framing that one as some sort of justified "war on terror" consist of the Putin, the Kremlin, and apparently Donald Trump. That's more than just getting "the history of the ussr and afghanistan wrong". Anyone who's not offended by that, and who doesn't question where he's getting those talking points is dangerously ignorant.
I mean fuck me! What does it take for this asshole to fall out of favor with everyone?
