How are Trump supporters dealing with his blaming Democrats for everything after Republicans have been reveling in their control of pretty much every part of the government? I'm guessing the answer is "just nodding their heads" but there has to be some sort of doubt in their minds, right?

But what did he mean by that?

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/04/26/trump-first-100-days-president-rating-accomplishments-215071

Good article imo on the shitshow that were/are the first 100 days, though not especially lol-worthy with one exception:

quote:

The Freak Show: Yes, the Trump administration really did hire a massage therapist with no energy experience to run a major office at the Energy Department, and yes, the guy really was fired for calling Muslims “scum sucking maggots of the world” on Twitter. Yes, the president attacked Nordstrom for dropping his daughter’s clothing line, and yes, the Chinese government approved 35 of his trademarks almost immediately after he agreed to respect its One China policy. Yes, he had Sarah Palin, Kid Rock and Ted Nugent to dinner at the White House, and yes, he quasi-endorsed a quasi-fascist in the French election.

The Trump presidency often feels like reality TV. But it’s reality. His current showdown with North Korea is a real showdown. His painfully awkward meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel was a real meeting. His news conference where he described his rookie-run, blood-feuding White House as a “fine tuned machine,” claimed his Electoral College victory was the largest since Reagan’s—it was actually the second-smallest—and asked a black reporter whether she could broker a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus was a real news conference. His tweet urging his 28 million followers to buy a gag book called “Reasons to Vote for Democrats”—the gag is that all 266 pages are blank—was a real tweet.

I hadn't heard about some of these things before, lmao. It's also nice that the article recounts the deep truth found in this thread title:

quote:

It was a reality-show circus of OMG, WTF and sometimes LOL

though I would posit that both OMG and WTF are in fact LOLs as well, at least most of the time

Yeah I'm only half-serious because technically any institution could create a wiki, the problem at this point is getting the users to switch. But it's a shame that an international collaborative tool to preserve history isn't something that's "in the hands of the people", so to speak. Otoh those donation pleas from Wales are getting more desperate, so maybe?

Problem with nationalizing that stuff is it gives morons to continue spouting hateful and incorrect facts under the shield of censorship. Would be nice if youtube actually DID remove that garbage though.

So many lols:


quote:

The separation-of-powers argument is precisely the one employed by Republicans against President Barack Obama’s immigration executive orders, while the 10th Amendment argument is based on Chief Justice John Roberts’s majority opinion in the first Obamacare case. One can only marvel at the legal irony here.

The court was not done, however. The court also found that the order was impermissibly vague under the Fifth Amendment. One problem, one that we and other critics of the whole “sanctuary city” witch hunt have noted, is that no one really knows what a “sanctuary city” really is “because the Order does not clearly define ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ the conduct that will subject a jurisdiction to defunding under the Order is not fully outlined. This is further complicated because the Order gives the Secretary unlimited discretion to make ‘sanctuary jurisdiction’ designations. But, at least as of two months ago, the Secretary himself stated that he ‘do[den’t] have a clue’ how to define ‘sanctuary city.’ ”

The why: so they aren't totally lame and shoving advertisements in your face. Free them from profit incentive. However yeah they are low on the list of things to nationalize. I crave a powerful government. Power/water, telecomms, air travel, nationalize it all.
