The liberals still believe they govern/matter? Today I heard stories Trump had to dance with Kaitlin Jenner to show he "cares"... :smash: WTF get a clue he isn't your puppet he is your boss so sit down and stfu.
 
I can't believe CNN actually ran stories about who would be appointed President if Trump was assassinated during the Inauguration.
Yeah I saw that. Wtf you don't do this right before an actual inauguration. CNN is pure propaganda at this point. I'm curious if Hillary is pushing these stories.

He suggested it.

In reality, we're his boss. That's how it's supposed to be.

If they did that it's stupid. It's not propaganda though. It's a ratings ploy.

Inciting the idea of an assassination right before he takes office is propaganda. Trying to link an assassination to how the Democratic party could possibly take back power in the White House is also propaganda. CNN is a political tool of the Democratic party.

I need to watch it to comment further. Link a brother.
 
They took down the climate change website.

The cabinet, combined, have more wealth than the ENTIRE, bottom third of the population of the United States.

Actually they do this every 4 years. I know it's terribly morbid but they used to it during the Bush and the Obama years inaugural as well.

Try not to read to much into it.

Do you have proof? Because I've never seen such, and I watch CNN religiously.
 


trump already f***ing the lower/middle class. Didn't take long.


Yeah, by ordering the Dept of HUD to reverse Obama's policy on mortgage fees the FHA loans will most certainly become more expensive and the traditional mortgages that the big banks like to push on new homebuyers become more competitive. Banks like this because they earn more in profits from of their own products than from FHA loans. So this initial Trump policy lessens competition for the banks and generates an unfair advantage for mortgage lenders to make more money for their own businesses.

And then he managed to sneak in his first executive order against the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). Essentially guts the individual mandate.

"The order instructs the US health secretary and other departments and agencies to "exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act" that imposes a fiscal burden or other cost on a state, on consumers, on insurers or on a range of healthcare providers."


White House.Gov changes in the last 5hrs

1- The Spanish Language option is gone
2- The LGBT links were taken down
3- ALL references to Climate Change have been removed and the climate change page has vanished.

*What's significant about this is that in December the Trump transition sent a memo demanding that the Energy Dept provide the names of government contractors and employees involved in climate negotiations, clean energy initiatives, portending a political purge of DoE employees who favor an evidence-based approach to climate, rather than a hydrocarbonist ideological approach.

Governing Changes in just the last 12hrs

All Ambassadors deployed to foreign nations are ordered recalled by noon Jan 20th with absolutely no exceptions. So for the first time in US history we have no diplomatic envoys. This could leave the US without Senate-confirmed ambassadors around the world for months until they're all confirmed. INSANE

It's going to be a long 4 years.

You could take the time to go through CNN's transcripts of the last 4 Presidential Inaugurals. I warn you, that's going to take quite a bit of reading but you'll eventually track it down.

Then no proof. I'll let you spend fourteen hours digging through for that.
 
Womens march London reaches 100k and this is probably the best sign of the day!

That press secretary was hilarious.

If this is what we can expect for 4 years, we are the laughing stock of the world(not that we aren't already).

Holy s***, no wonder Putin wanted trump lol.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in the White House Press Room before. I remember seeing a few testy moments between Sam Donaldson and the Clinton WH Press Sec during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, but it never descended into anything as vitriolic as what I witnessed this evening.

You know part of being able to do this job everyday is the fact that most of the men and women who have come to the institution that is the Presidency have the ability to laugh at themselves and not take themselves so seriously. All they had to do was tweet a picture of the MLK bust and say "Martin is still here in Oval Office". But instead we get to watch Sean Spicer lose his freakin mind in a ridiculous tantrum over inaugural attendance comparisons (yes Obama's attendance was larger) and an already retracted article because a Secret Service agent was blocking MLK's face.

I can't figure out if it's grandstanding or if they really are as overly sanctimonious as they project.

I don't need to look for anything. But if you're too lazy to look yourself that's your problem, not my lack of proof.

Actually, I finally siffed through all of the transcripts for each of CNN's coverage of the numerous inaugurations, and it doesn't exist. So nice try.
 
When your press secretary has to go out and lie on day 1 about something as irrelevant as the size of the crowd that is a very bad sign.

It wasn't just larger. It was three times larger.

Thanks for the info. I feel better.

I thought the Dems done lost it.
 
I'm not going to get into a back and forth with Kassan but I have to say that I'm really surprised more people haven't heard about the designated cabinet member. And it's not just for presidential inaugurals either, it's done every single time there's a State of the Union address as well. The President ALWAYS has one cabinet appointee who assumes that role and carries "the biscuit" for that evening.

It started during the Reagan years during the height of the cold war.
