Mattis to Trump: go gently caress your Transgender Ban, I'm putting together a study and implementation plan/panel like we normally do. Until then, continue to gently caress yourself and nothing is changing.

Sounds like Mattis wants to run out the clock or let the court system do the job, or at worst, try to convince Trump otherwise.

I am slightly less skeptical of Mattis.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/29/politics/spicer-pope-visit/index.html

quote:

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer has finally crossed an important item off his personal bucket list: meeting Pope Francis.

While visiting Italy with a group of legislators and politicians this week, Spicer got an audience with the Pope and was seen snapping photos of His Holiness and shaking his hand, a source confirmed to CNN. The story was first reported by America Media, a Catholic publication.

A message left with Spicer was not immediately returned.

Spicer, a devout Catholic, was not part of a group of White House advisers who met the Pope earlier this year when they traveled with President Donald Trump in May to the Vatican -- a move widely viewed as a snub toward the then-press secretary.

Spicer fumed to colleagues after being excluded from the President's meeting with Pope Francis, an administration official told CNN at the time. He was eagerly anticipating meeting the Pope, but discovered at the last minute that he was not on the shortlist of White House officials selected to join the President for the private audience.

Spicer assumed he would be on the list, the official said, adding that meeting the Pope was one of the bucket-list items Spicer wanted to check off during his tenure as press secretary.

At the time, his removal from the visit raised fresh questions about Spicer's standing as the chief White House spokesman. Spicer cut his ties with the White House in late July when he resigned as press secretary.

It's the perfect epilogue to... whatever this is. :unsmith:

A couple years ago my dad got called called up to intake at the jail he works at because the guy running stuff thought something funny was going on. They ad some drug dealer with some crazy layering going on. Two pairs of sweat pants, a pair of basketball shorts, and underwear. He told them he didn't have anything on him but they were suspicious so they stripped him down. He had a loaded pistol tucked in next to his junk. The state trooper who brought the guy in hosed up bad and was rolling around with this guy in the backseat.

Dad said he was stressed out pretty bad for a while following that because he knows that there's a ton of lazy idiots working there who wouldn't have caught that. So of course he was imagining every bad thing that could have happened.

People I know keep posting poo poo about how antifa is horrible and proves the left is just as bad. I'm sorry but most times antifa is fighting back against literal Nazis so they'll never be as bad.

Here's the thing: the fact that they're fighting Nazis is more an accident than anything else. They're the same violent poo poo heads you see anywhere else, looking for an outlet for their violent tendencies. In another time, they'd be bloods or crips or tankies or Ordnungspolizei.

I dunno man, I'd probably get off my rear end to go fight the kinda no-poo poo nazis you apparently have these days, but that doesn't mean I'm just fighting random people in the street until then.

Really? Because I fail to remember the gangs of violent leftists terrorizing folks before the Nazis showed up. Certainly there's always been a presence of anarchists who were willing to throw bricks through windows and poo poo but I think most of these people maybe just really don't like Nazis. I mean, they're kind of the worst. That's why we have decades worth of films and games where they are the antagonist, because it's okay to hate Nazis on account of the genocide and all. Just my opinion though.
