mlmp08 posted:ffs. Anyone know if this hiring freeze affects government employees applying to fill a new position in the federal government since that's not net growth? Our acting directors gave us a briefing this morning. They said we are totally frozen until we hear what the exceptions are. Then, the one at department HQ said he is going to spend the day walking through the halls trying to find an unfamiliar face who will tell him what to do. This guy is an SES, probably 2 or 3. Maybe 4.

Well, this is odd. First, Wikileaks starts attacking Trump over the tax return line. Then, RT posts a bunch of moderately Trump-unfriendly articles. Now, the Russian military is literally inventing US-Russia joint operations. https://twitter.com/gordonnyt/status/823589891355209730

Not surprising. The whole point of supporting Trump in the first place wasn't necessarily to get Trump, but to delegitimize American democracy and sow chaos. They also like to throw bones to the less discerning members of the American left who aren't aware that RT is legit Kremlin propaganda.

"Well I don't actually care what celebrities think" k but then why you post so many articles about Streep then. I broke a guy's brain the other week when he went on a 'Actors need to stfu about politics' rant by mentioning that Saint Reagan was an actor and Donald Trump was more famously known as a TV star.

In good news, I was walking out of the gym and saw a guy entering with an Aperture Laboratories shirt on. I said, "love that shirt man." And he said, "thanks man!" And it felt good. The world still has hope.

New Secretary of the Air Force pick is the President of the college I work at. Heather Wilson... she was a GOP congressman from New Mexico and came here a few years ago. She was a decent University President and kept really low key in the job, which was nice. I think she came here as a last post before retirement and I get the vibe that she is sorta reluctant to go. But St. Mattis must have talked her in to it. Blessed be his name.

I guess I expected a press secretary to be pretty cool and poised behind a microphone, but Spicer sputters and dribbles like a high school freshman that put together his presentation 5 minutes before class started

 Spicer uses question about Russia's claim that the US carried out joint strikes on ISIS to talk about how Trump wants to make the area small business friendly. What the gently caress:?

I think that's kind of a bullshit thing to ping on. It was pretty obvious he meant disagree over the facts. It's his job to speak clearly and his phrasing wasn't ideal but I don't think that what he said was any more than fumbling on his words. Not on the same level as Conway's alternative facts. Edit - What's driving me nuts is these softball questions. That woman must have spent a couple hours cutting all the sharp edges off of her climate change question. iverson fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jan 23, 2017 |

The man tried to argue that Nielsen ratings didn't include CNN, so if you added the CNN rating and the Nielsen ratings, Trump clearly had the most numbers. It's the press secretary equivalent of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFoC3TR5rzI
