Trump keeps a day one promise.

Well, got to give him credit. He's already kept more promises than Obama.

Good Trump. Now make sure we don't just replace it with pretty much the same thing with a different name.

Along the lines on my observations and fears.
Yet in this day and age it’s much easier to click-bait those who still nurse on intellectual milk and aren’t ready for such solid food. Low-hanging fruit such as easily-debunked conspiracy nitwitism and straw men arguments draw an audience and generate traffic. Like when Drudge fired his siren on Tuesday night after noted Trump shill Roger Stone claimed to Alex “what makes the friggin frogs gay” Jones he was poisoned by his political enemies.

Low information, it’s not just for the liberals anymore.

Now Wikileaks is calling Trump worse than Hillary on personal finance transparency and requesting his tax returns so they can publish them. So I'm assuming Kung Fu grip Sean Hannity won't be having Jullian Assange on as an American hero again any time soon.

These situational principles/ethics are really getting hard to keep up with.

Dipshit Drumpf revives fucktarded law.
President Trump reinstated a policy on Monday that originated in the Reagan era, prohibiting the use of United States foreign aid to health providers abroad who discuss abortion as a family-planning option.

That literally happens every time the administration switches from D to R, then comes back on R to D, etc, etc.

And it is still hypocritical as shit that the party of "hands of my *blank*" (guns, paycheck, free speech) doesn't apply to another woman's vagina.

Hey that actually works two ways.

What rights are they actually trying to strip from women? Just linkable things, not hearsay.

Serious question. All I've heard is paranoia so far.

Trump is president of Texas?

I mean, I guess he technically is, by still, he isnwriting Texas laws.

Unless there is more stuff in the Texas thread that doesn't Apply to just Texas, which would be typical.

Fuck, I better go march and then litter.

Since I can't retroactively title threads, yeah, there's more than Texas. The "no foreign aid to abortion counseling" bullshit is the same variety of bullshit that serves as the impetus for pretty much every insane law in that thread.

To equate those two stances means that in order to be treated equally the government should be paying for my guns.

Vince wrote:Israel's news is ablaze with stories that Trump will announce the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem this week. That is much more relevant for both the news media and Trump than this stupid shit.
Okay, this turned into "maybe not even in Trumps first term."

All in all though, Spicer did a much better job this time around on his WH briefing.

What's the current tax exemption per year we are footing for religious groups? The groups that are essentially the driving force behind defunding basic reproductive healthcare for women.

I can't find exact figures - maybe $70-80 billion?

I'm seeing $500m for planned parenthood within the US(that won't last). $600m just removed for reproductive healthcare worldwide. It's maddening to me - super important that these children are born - but after that, fuck em. If they are unfortunate enough to live in Trump's "inner city nightmares" or have to go to one of Besty DeVos' future public schools where they can major in bear hunting - them's the breaks kid. Bootstrap harder.

e: I watched the PC today, Spicer did do much better.

That is what I expected I would see.

I see the argument to be made, here. It isn't worth marching over.

There's a thread for that.
There have been no posts in this thread since Trump took office. I don't see how anything there can be relevant to the first Trump term.
