You've really got to respect an administration so open about the strategy of lying to the American public.

It's just very hard to respect those who blindly support this dishonesty and "alternative" versions of the truth.

Pretty eye-opening first weekend as an administration, and it's only getting started.

"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice. The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization. We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal. Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good. The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.” "Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander," 1968

Appointing an FCC chairman who is going to start rolling back net neutrality laws! MAGA!

Not sure if you're being facetious, but, just in case, are you opposed to net neutrality? If so, why?

Saw a shit ton of nasty women marching on Saturday and boy did they leave a mess. Guess none of them care about the environment! https://www.rt.com/usa/374721-mixed-reaction-march-cleanup/

Why does this mean they do not care about the environment?

Why does this mean they do not care about the environment?

Maybe it just means they are spoiled brats? Or maybe it means they have no personal responsibility?

Surely it means something - unless of course they were just told to leave the signs on the ground - like you leave your popcorn and empty soda bucket in the movie theater after you leave.

 

[gigabyte056]

Are the women marching part of the congress? , the Trump administration?
Then the only reason to bring it up here is to get another thread closed.
Ignore and let's stay on topic

Seems to mean they left their signs out in front of various Trump hotels and/or government building to continue to make their voices heard.

But this is how some people desperately need to marginalize what they're marching for and the meaning it holds.

That's the alternative to actually thinking or having an intelligent discussion about issues.

Why did this post get some disagrees? Did he state something that is objectively or factually wrong?

I am glad @Tornicade posted it because it's good to know what will actually be done/voted on/proposed this week. For example. TPP had been out of the news cycles, and now I know to look for an upcoming vote. If he's willing, I think it would be great for him to do every week or so.

Know what, you are right , shouldn't have disagreed, a Pavlovian reaction on my part

Again, one more example of the casual lying taking place by the Trump team.

The people who will blindly support this really have the rest of America scratching their heads.
