It's such a stupid arbitrarily dumb policy. While some might have taken it as a guideline for less regulation there is zero doubt trump means it literally.

I'm not a proponent of extensive regulation on small business so I support the concept but the policy is idiotic.

I mean, the sentiment is obviously plausible, but the term "muzzie"?
Why don't you think its real? I'm not so sure, they show themselves tweeting that Mexican President cancelling meeting a Trump pretending it was his idea before anything was released to the press.

Yep. Because surely there are just two bad regulations for every one that isn't there yet. Not three. Not one and a half. While at the same time, Trump isn't going to focus on a particular number when it comes to unemployment is pretty funny.

Meantime, the tone of these press secretary briefings is so starkly different from those under the Obama administration. Josh Earnest was so cool by comparison.

Spicer's false outrage and victim playing ...
01-30-2017 , 03:22 PM
What is this jibberish Spicer is spouting about Trump's FB live video over the weekend reaching 11 million people but only having 5 million views?
01-30-2017 , 03:23 PM
he imagines whole families grouped around the computer screen to watch the dear leader
01-30-2017 , 03:24 PM
Man Spicer is struggling. Worst job ever.
01-30-2017 , 03:25 PM
TRUMP: the art of the dear leader

Anyone else pretty sure that the DACA kids are pretty much screwed?
01-30-2017 , 03:31 PM
lol at this cock nut
01-30-2017 , 03:31 PM
sean spicer confirms the administration didn't think through the consequences of the immigration ban
01-30-2017 , 03:32 PM
Spicer thinks a white guy shooting up a mosque in Canada is why the US needs a Muslim ban.

This is why you lost. This is why your party controls nothing. This is why you have so miserably failed to help the people you supposedly care about.

Take the W, man! It is literally impossible for you to screw up this news cycle! But yeah, let's get all self-righteous about deleting Uber because...wait, what? I guess Uber was just supposed to take their service from JFK offline?

Let's look at the options here:

1) Take service from JFK offline, somehow, and if you're an Uber driver of modest means who just wants to make some money, or a traveler of modest means who just wants to get home to their family, **** you, get bent.

2) Turn off surge pricing to avoid the perception that you're profiting off people suffering, and also provide a de facto disincentive to drive additional service there, while allowing drivers to pick up there if they for whatever reason want to deal with all that chaos for the price of a regular ride.

3) Do nothing, leave surge pricing on, business as usual. Doing THIS would have driven MORE drivers to JFK! Do you know how supply and demand works? Jesus Christ.

4) Send out a missive ordering your NYC drivers to report to JFK immediately or be fired.

So, which option are SJW's all riled up about? Option 4, sure, that would deplorable. Option 3, I mean, the optics of that could be bad, but, I mean, that's how your business runs everywhere at all times, it's a free country, meh, whatever. But no, option 2, SCABS, OUTRAGERRRR!!!!

Dude. Evangelical leaders just came out in unison and opposed a Republican President. Republicans and moderate Democrats are having all kinds of difficult and unusual-for-them text and email and phone conversations right now that actually concern real social justice for marginalized people. This is the biggest narrative win for progressive politics maybe ever! Granted it sucks that it takes something like this for it to happen, but that's how progress is sometimes.

Dude, just go to Barbados with awval! Get out of the way! Just let these regular people talk amongst themselves about why this Trump EO is bad, and stop distracting them by yelling at them to delete Uber because you're trying to virtue-signal to the cool SJW kids about how you are totally onboard with this cool new band no one else has ever heard of or cares about.

If you were an NFL team, you'd be 0-16 right now. Your intentions don't matter, no one cares. You lost, you've been losing gradually for a long time now, you've been wrong about everything, you've been an abject failure. It seemed like you had been reflecting on this, but apparently that lasted about a week and now it's back to business as usual. Keep it up, I guess.

former cia director mike hayden says this immigration order makes america less safe. sean spicer's response: anybody can nitpick from reading biased news reports but they don't understand what it says

TIL ruling out a 5-year old from being a threat is misguided.

Never, ever forget that when it looked like Hillary was going to win the election, Republicans said they would still block her nominees.

If any Democrats vote to confirm, or fail to filibuster, I give up.

Not sure why Paul and zik are discounting Trump encouraging vigilante violence on his behalf. You guys know Trump has been encouraging 'Bikers For Trump' throughout, right?







Meet the Vigilantes Who Patrol Trump’s Rallies

Quote:
Cox decided that his 30,000-member group, “Bikers for Trump,” would no longer be just a support organization focused primarily on holding independent rallies for the Republican front-runner. It would transform into a volunteer security force, patrolling Trump’s events to identify protesters for paid security and police, forming barriers to protect Trump supporters, and playing backup to the cops as they removed unwanted attendees from the campaign’s rallies.

Within days, his bikers were working crowds at Trump events nationwide. And by last week, at a rally inside the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, Cox’s men were assuming functions typically reserved for paid security and police – patrolling the dirt floor of the arena, snatching and tearing protesters’ signs and following close behind law enforcement officials as they dragged protesters from the arena, ready to lend a hand.
Quote:
Bikers for Trump became a protective force, and it’s not alone. Another group, Lions of Trump, popped up online after Chicago to scour social media for likely protesters and expose them. Its website prominently quotes the Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. At a Trump rally in Wisconsin in late March, a local Tea Party activist arrived several hours early and assisted a campaign security consultants in identifying area progressive activists, who were then removed. And Citizens for Trump, an all-purpose grassroots support group, has deployed a team scouring social media for death threats to Trump, while a handful of its members tour the country on the lookout for protesters at rallies.

Quote:
"I'm anticipating we'll be doing a victory dance," said Cox, 47, a chainsaw artist and founder of Bikers for Trump, thousands of whom he estimates will hit the Ohio city for the July 18-21 Republican National Convention.

"But if the Republican Party tries to pull off any backroom deals and ignores the will of the people, our role will change."
One of the things I'm trying to cure myself of is the "oh, it won't come to that" mentality.

Trump the President has been surprisingly adept at being just as outrageous, chaotic, and incompetent he was when he was campaigning. He and his campaign have egged on and encouraged vigilante security and policing up to the point of his inauguration.

Why are we discounting this again? Obviously the majority of GOPers are a bunch of immobile geriatrics, but there still lots of people looking to crack some skulls and play pretend-Rambo out there. Let's stop assuming Trump won't deploy them, I mean he's obviously aware they're out there and they've proven willing vigilante soldiers.

Like everyone is playing their hands face up here: the biker dudes follow Trump around to the GOP convention and inauguration expecting that if things go their way they'll promise to be peaceful; otherwise their 'roles might change.' And Trump applauds them for it.

Why are we doubting it might come to that?
