marc writes: I know that Clinton wasn't hated by the press with anywhere near the intensity that Trump is today. Are you nuts? Trump is not hated by the press, he is amazing. No president in recent memory, certainly since Richard Nixon has provided as much copy, committed as many blunders, made so many idiotic statements as Donald Trump. Why the press and comedians owe Trump a lot. He almost writes their material.

Even as the Trump administration tries to roll back or undo Obama era protections for LGBT people the courts have stepped in to protect them. Today another Federal Court says that long established Federal Civil Rights laws prohibit discrimination on the job against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees.
source Federal laws override State laws.

marc writes: Trump didn't seek the presidency for the money, unlike ALL of his immediate predecessors. Are you kidding? What makes you think Trump did not seek the position for the money since it seems so far he has only used it to make money?

marc writes: He's donating his entire salary, that's not very profitable. What ways has he taken in money as president? We can't know, can we, since he still refuses to make his finances public. But what we can know is that he holds events at his properties, has NOT set up the blind trust he promised, has not divorced his businesses from family even while bringing family into government; in other words, he has continued to fail to live up to the promises he made as a candidate in ANY area regarding business or finance or wealth generation.

Back in Message 687 and Message 689 we commented on how utterly sophomoric and stupid the Trump lawyers' arguments on why Trump should not be sued for inciting violence but it seems there is no limit to their stupidity.
The latest iteration of play ground bully tactics and despotic behavior is their claim that Trump is immune to being sued because he won the election. It's fine if his Brown Shirts beat up a few people because he is now the Fuhrer.

Time for an entirely new and improved policy... "Don't ask and don't tell the President!"

You need to understand that what we see is simply a continuation of the Fundamentalist practice of Source over Content.
Their God says kill folk, that's fine. Their God lies to Adam & Eve and it's just fine. Their God changes Pharaoh's mind and then kills the innocent first born children for it, that's fine. Their President shares information given with the condition it would not be shared, that's fine. It's not a matter of what is done but rather who is doing it. And there is an unlimited supply of Apologists to find excuses.

The most recent revelation is a claim that during the talk where Trump is alleged to have asked Comey to drop the investigation of Flynn he also suggested Comey should lock reporters who publish leaked information up.
source Tricky Dick would have liked that as well. Edited by jar, : add source link

Trump claims that it's a Witch Hunt.
Next he'll claim we dressed him as a witch. And put the witch nose on him. And that he didn't turn Gingrich into a newt or that the newt got better. So let's weigh him against a duck. This administration so far has been a piss poor parody of the Flying Circus meets a Little bit of Fry & Laurie.

The upcoming Trump Budget hopes to address many of the ills the US faces. It will support cutting billions from Medicaid coverage and allow States to encourage our citizens to become more active by imposing work requirements as a condition for receiving anti-poverty program aid. It will encourage people to move out of poverty and into the workforce.
source Remember how Robin Hood stole from the rich to help the poor?                        Well, this ain't that exactly.

NN writes: Surely I am missing something. But what? That Trump really is a totally clueless megalomaniac with absolutely no impulse control? It's about time the source of all these leaks of secret information was made to stop. Shut Up Donald. Go sit back down at the kiddy table and stop annoying the adults. You really aren't cute anymore.
