Lol at pretending you've never casually supported an invasion of a sovereign country in the lockerroom

Today's 'shocking but not surprising' on the ground reporting comes from @AnandWrites (click through, it's a thread and an Atlantic article.)

Wonder if he still believes that.
Best guess, he never did. He didn't write The Art of the Deal.

According to a NYT article this effort will take years and probably go beyond Trump's first term. It's not something that can be changed with the stroke of a pen. It may prove difficult for environmental groups to get the EPA to pursue and fine any violators if Trump simply instructs the EPA to not look for or aggressively investigate violations. Sounds like there's going to be an enormous number of lawsuits flying around.

I like that you can trace every trump move back to a mr. burns joke. I'm sure burns has a higher approval rating though.

Simpsons episodes are pretty on point here. Bear patrol/illegal immigrants and homer runs for garbage chief are the past year in a nutshell.

Good rant Hoya, but you already knew all of that before this (admittedly ridiculous) election cycle and administration, right?

If they didn't have that covered walkway to the limos I wonder how many of Trump's senior staffers would melt in the rain.

this is what trump lives for: the adoration and rapt attention of a room full of powerful people.
