Damn. I get to the end of the thread & having nothing in particular to contribute.

I do want to thank Zebra for posting the link about the synagogue in Texas opening its doors to the town's Muslims. Like the women's marches, it gives me hope.

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell is also President Trump's education advisor. This could help Liberty.

Falwell - another questionable one that can directly benefit financially from the position he's given.

Watch this NON ANSWER from Spicer

Do you think Trump disassociates himself from Bannon's comments?

What are Trump's views on Islam?

Just when I was starting to think there was nothing left to smile at in the world - this thread came along. While there is still ridicule, the ridiculous can be contained!

There's talk that Trump may not appoint members of the Council of Economic Advisers, effectively killing it. Sad! gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-demise-of-cea.html

Watching an older video. I blame that Carrier guy for Trump insisting in doing everything he promised, instead of his promises being euphenisms. (his typo)
He didn't remember making that promise, but I bet he went through all of them and has a list that he's ticking.
I just wonder what he'll do when he gets to his contradictory promises.
One weak he'll penalise women who have abortions, the other he won't.

“I don't need the Mexicans. I don't need Mexico," Trump reportedly told the Mexican president.

Wow - just watching the Press Briefing. They know have Skype seats - you know when PMQs has planted questions by their own side. It seems exactly what that is - which does of course bring the questions from outside the beltway (I can speak American Grin )
