President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The Post says they have multiple sources for their Trump/Gorsuch story.

So, was CNN or Chris Cillizza able to “independently confirm” the Post story?

Nope. But that didn’t stop them from passing the rumor along.

I guess these sources only wanted to talk to the Post.

 

Just wait until @Dick Whitman’s wife hears this.

The Trump administration is rolling back Obama-era rules for how animals should be treated if their meat is going to be sold as “certified organic.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced its plan to withdraw the final rules, which were originally set to take effect on March 20 after having been delayed three times.

USDA said the rules exceed the agency’s statutory authority under the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 to issue animal welfare regulations. The agency called the rules, which govern an animal’s access to outdoor space, transportation and slaughter, among other things, “broadly prescriptive.”

Under the rules, producers and handlers participating in the National Organic Program stipulate that poultry must be housed in spaces that are big enough for the birds to move freely, stretch their wings, stand normally and engage in natural behaviors.

Livestock, meanwhile, must be provided access to an outdoor space year-round and be kept in indoor pens that are sufficiently large, solidly built and comfortable so that the animals are kept clean, dry and free of lesions.

Dumb tweet. Everyone died when we backed out of the Paris Accord.

 

That's great, thanks.

"Organic beef: Now with lesions!"

 

Making Animals With Lesions A Thing Again

Put that on a hat.

 

And this is why we laugh at you.

 

But well-deserved mockery is still firmly in play.

 

Know what my likely lead is.

 

Because you are amoral laundry-sniffing sociopaths devoted to maintaining rich white privilege you barely get to take part in?
