Doesn't seem right.

so trump retweeted a bot a couple days ago. You'd think one would be smart enough to realize a twitter account of protrump45 isn't a real account but trump isn't.

To be fair I could easily see that being a Trump supporters handle. Also his supporters basically parrot the same talking points over and over so sometimes they are hard to discern from bots. Usually what gives them away is how fast and constant their posts are. I doubt many Trump supporters are typing faster than 20 WPM.

Daily caller even did a profile on the bot.

Btw if you try to buy anything at protrump45.com, the Add to Cart button goes nowhere (throws a 404 error).

Staff at the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) have been told to avoid using the term climate change in their work, with the officials instructed to reference “weather extremes” instead.

Quote:

A missive from Bianca Moebius-Clune, director of soil health, lists terms that should be avoided by staff and those that should replace them. “Climate change” is in the “avoid” category, to be replaced by “weather extremes”. Instead of “climate change adaption”, staff are asked to use “resilience to weather extremes”.

The primary cause of human-driven climate change is also targeted, with the term “reduce greenhouse gases” blacklisted in favor of “build soil organic matter, increase nutrient use efficiency”. Meanwhile, “sequester carbon” is ruled out and replaced by “build soil organic matter”.

ISIS will fall if we call them Islamic extremists, but climate change is the phrase that cannot be mentioned. It's not a big deal, but still a bit silly.

Quote:

Other emails show the often agonized discussions between staff unsure of what is forbidden. On 16 February, a staffer named Tim Hafner write to Bramblett: “I would like to know correct terms I should use instead of climate changes and anything to do with carbon ... I want to ensure to incorporate correct terminology that the agency has approved to use."

On 5 April, Suzanne Baker, a New York-based NRCS employee, emailed a query as to whether staff are “allowed to publish work from outside the USDA that use ‘climate change’”. A colleague advises that the issue be determined in a phone call.

Some staff weren’t enamored with the new regime, with one employee stating on an email on 5 July that “we would prefer to keep the language as is” and stressing the need to maintain the “scientific integrity of the work”.

And another one bites the dust. A cyber IT Director guy from DHS no less. For those who don't know, Homeland Security is the department charged with handling cyber security. John Kelly moved to CoS and left an empty seat at the top that was never filled. Now this head cyber guy is out, and DHS is starting to hollow out like Tillerson's State Department. We're just about at the point of no return for 2018 if nothing is done about this.

Please let Blumenthal call him out for draft dodging Vietnam. He has set himself up nicely to be called out on it, and I can't imagine the meltdown that would ensue.

Trump's legal team, led by this new "super lawyer" Ty Cobb, have decided it's time to "tone it down" and quit attacking Mueller and AG Sessions.

Find out if you'd be able to get a green card under the RAISE Act. It should be noted that the Nobel Prize only applies to the STEM ones, no Literature or Peace bs, and the Olympic Medals are only in individual sports, no team ones (for some reason). The Time survey doesn't mention those stipulations.

Yea I know he won't, but the high road hasn't been too kind to the democrats.

'I misrepresented my service, and for that I have apologized in the past. President Trump on the other hand has never served. Instead using student and medical deferments to avoid service.'

Quote:

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller famously used the adjective “cosmopolitan” to insult CNN’s Jim Acosta during an exchange in the White House briefing room last week, implying that the journalist somehow bore an air of swampy elitism.

Quote:

It turns out that Miller calls home a nearly $1 million condo in CityCenter, one of Washington’s poshest addresses and a complex that proudly offers residents an upscale, urbane lifestyle. With high-end international retailers such as Hermès and Gucci on the street level alongside fancy Italian, Asian and French eateries, the building is billed as “the new ideal for sophisticated, modern, urban living.” Also in the marketing materials is the slogan: “You are where you live.”

Quote:

Miller’s luxe lifestyle appears to come partly courtesy of family connections. After graduating from Duke in 2007, he worked on Capitol Hill — first on the House side for then-Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and later for future attorney general Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) in the Senate.

Miller bought the two-bedroom CityCenter condo in 2014 for $973,000, according to property records. The unit comes with a hefty condo fee of nearly $1,800 a month. At the time, he was a 28-year-old Senate staffer with a $129,000 salary — not too shabby for a public servant. He plopped down a half-million dollars toward the purchase price, according to records. (Neither Miller nor a White House spokeswoman responded to a request for comment.)

The buyer for the property is listed as “Stephen Miller Cordary, Inc.,” a company whose address is the same as that of Cordary Inc., the Los Angeles-based real estate company that his father, Michael Miller, owns. Cordary operates condo complexes called California Villages, and on his congressional financial disclosure forms, Stephen Miller identifies himself as holding an unpaid position of vice president with that company dating to 2010.

The CityCenter condo wasn’t the young political aide’s first luxury (or dare we say cosmopolitan?) abode in Washington. In 2008, when he was a 23-year-old fresh-from-Duke House staffer earning $54,000, he bought a unit in the Metropole, a Logan Circle building that touts itself as a “sleek, urban condo development,” putting about $200,000 down on the $450,000 unit, according to public records.
