President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

To Hell with Scott Pruitt

By ROBERT REDFORD
WHO BROKE THE WATERGATE STORIES

President Trump should follow the suggestion of many — including some within his own party, and reportedly even his chief of staff — and replace Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt.

Pruitt’s conduct as head of the EPA is beyond disappointing; it’s disgraceful. The list of indefensible actions grows each week: from sweetheart condo deals with the wife of an energy lobbyist, to unfair raises for favored appointees and apparent punishments for those who defy him, to a $43,000 soundproof phone booth. ...

Americans deserve better. The EPA was established to protect the environment and public health for everyone. It’s something America got right, and it is up to us to defend it.

Pruitt should be replaced by a principled leader who will do what the EPA was intended to do: protect America from men such as Pruitt.

Opinion | Robert Redford: The biggest Scott Pruitt scandal is the one right in front of us

 

"Dear Roseanne: If in the next six months you don’t see Trump’s magic starting to work for you, if you’re still trading pills and driving an Uber, wouldn’t the more realistic plotline for Season Two be your disillusionment with Donald Trump?"

 

RIP Alfie.

Heartbreaking to the family as he hung in there and raised hopes.

Ugh.

Uh, WTF? I know the movie. Dustin gets some credit too.

 

The cone of silence.

 

U.S. drops to 45 in ranking of countries based on freedom of the press

The U.S. dropped two spots on this year’s list. The report specifically calls out new leadership under President Donald Trump as the driver behind the U.S.’s fall.

“A media-bashing enthusiast, Trump has referred to reporters as ‘enemies of the people,’ the term once used by Joseph Stalin,” the report says. Trump has also attempted to block White House access to multiple media outlets, routinely uses the term “fake news” in retaliation for critical reporting, and has called for revoking certain media outlets’ broadcasting licenses. Trump’s anti-media tweets have included a doctored pro wrestling video showing Trump body slamming an opponent who has the CNN logo superimposed over their head.

 

Redford did the legwork. Dustin spent half his time banging Mrs. Robinson.

Why use Stalin? There are much more recent examples.

 

Hey its Donald. 6'5, 201 pounds. (Ding)

 

Trump goes after Tester.

 

It's so exciting to have a president who tries to instigate riots.

 

Phony charges are only okay if they come from Trump.

 

JFC. I have never heard of Babylon Bee before 10 seconds ago. I read it, and got a chuckle. I'm no deep thinker, but it took my brain about .004 seconds to determine "hey, that must be like a conservative Onion".

If you read that Babylon Bee, and can't find the sarcasm, and go further to post about "fake news", just DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.
