Commandant of the Coast Guard to President Trump: go gently caress your transgender ban http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/08/01/commandant-i-will-not-break-faith-transgender-coast-guardsmen.html?variant=mobile.amp Coasties are DHS, not DOD, so the Commandant feels empowered to give Donnie a high hard one.

Duzzy Funlop posted:Realtalk, why would it matter to him whether he's under DoD or DHS when he plans to poo poo on the president? The military/Joint Chiefs are currently doing nothing on the transgender ban until they hear back from official channels. That official channel is Defense Secretary Mattis. Mattis has no control over the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard would get their guidance from the DHS Secretary, formerly John Kelly, now Chief of Staff. Since the Coast Guard has a different chain of command than the DoD, the Coast Guard Commandant figured he could be cheeky and get away with it, since per his chain of command, Mattis can't choke out his eyeballs and use them for golf.

Here's a really wacky thing. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/01/trump-wall-street-journal-interview-full-transcript-241214 The Trump-friendly Wall Street Journal had a sit-down with Donnie about a week ago. They published highlights and a recap of the interview. ..... they never posted the full transcript. There was a reason, as Donnie was basically left to ramble on and on with zero question or pushback on anything. It was bonkers as usual. So that interview transcript was sent around the WSJ newsroom, but still never was published. Evidentally, someone at WSJ had enough, leaked the full transcript to Politico, and published it. Politico scooped WSJ on the transcript of the WSJ's own interview. Golden age of journalism in progress.

Polling break! Donnie's polls are now at their lowest so far of the presidency, per 538 and others. His worst legit poll, Quinnipiac, now has his approval rating at 33%. https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2476 McCain's numbers are hilarious. quote:American voters give Arizona Sen. John McCain a 57 - 32 percent favorability rating, with a 74 - 18 percent positive score from Democrats and a 60 - 28 percent positive rating from independent voters. Republicans give McCain a negative 39 - 49 percent rating. That all explains why Donnie's mostly being ignored nowadays compared to around inauguration. He just introduced an anti-legal immigration bill with Senators Perdue and Cotton, to cut total immigration by half, and the combined response from Washington was "lol that's cute".

Well this is fun. Everyone sort of expected that the Customs and Border Patrol were stonewalling Congresspeople and lawyers when the initial Travel Ban came down. The Daily Beast got their hands on the official order for agents to do so. http://www.thedailybeast.com/border-patrol-ordered-to-block-congressmen-during-travel-ban?via=twitter_page By the way, a golf magazine cited unnamed sources that Donnie called the White House a "dump" which is why he spends so much time at his golf courses. Donnie called the report Fake News, which means even golf magazines are part of the Fake News.

I don't think I agree on that sanctions bill. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/08/03/middleeast/iran-sanctions-nuclear-deal/index.html The new sanctions targeted the Iranian ballistic missile program, plus people related to it, which is an area completely uncovered by the Iranian nuclear deal. Seems mostly a US reaction to Iran sending up a satellite a while back, since that poo poo easily can be turned into an ICBM. Iran is still loving around with providing equipment used to kill American soldiers in Iraq and other places, so Iran isn't in the moral clear here. Sure, Donnie is being a dumbfuck about the Iran nuke deal, which Iran is definitely complying with, but Iran is loving around in other ways. Bernie is right to be wary as hell, but I think he's wrong here. These sanctions target areas outside of the nuke deal, regardless of what Iran yells about. Slippery slope sure, but not there to nuke deal breaching yet.

A necessary, but nowhere near sufficient, step towards impeachment. https://twitter.com/RealPressSecBot/status/893084294821720065 To explain: the only way Donnie gets impeached is if he becomes toxic to House/Senate Republicans and they decide that it's better to have President Pence. All of the Russia poo poo doesn't matter, since impeachment is a political thing. We're way, way, way far away from that point as-is, but Donnie pissing off Congress is a needed step in the process.

The Senate has now adjourned until early September, with pro forma sessions active until then to prevent recess appointments (the usual). That means a month of town halls, Donnie sucking up all the DC stories, and a mad rush to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling, and figure out what to do about Obamacare by October 1st. The House is only in session for 15 out of those days.  WHO IS READY FOR ANOTHER GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN????

Union members tend to be focused on preserving what they have gained at all costs. In a lot of instances, they can't see why helping poorer people actually helps them, or why their efforts are better spent focusing attention elsewhere: on eating the rich. The best observation lately is that the Google Bro who recently got fired for biotrutherism probably couldn't have been fired if he was part of a union.
