So the man who doesn't know what intelligence is ordered a raid in Yemen without fully evaluating the intelligence. Get used to it.

US intelligence told Israeli counterparts not to give too much secret info to Trump. Why? It'll go to Russia...then to Iran. @haaretzcom

This is our very very special thread. It's fantastic.

SKYPE Post.

Do you agree with me that this is the best thread so far? I have seen some threads but I am sure, Commander Spicer, that this is the best thread ever?

Intro'd bill to reverse @POTUS reorg of the National Security Council. NSC should be guided by professionals, not political advisers.

My poor brain can't process all this shit. I think that's the point isn't it? Bamboozle all and get on with ... Not sure what.

Mostly placemarking, but also reminding people that Trump's activities at presidential level have encouraged a whole load of copycat nuttiness at state level.

Arkansas outlawing D&E abortions, and allowing putative fathers to sue abortion providers if their women folk step out of line (and out of the kitchen) to have abortions.

South Dakota overturns law to stamp out corruption and bribery. ('Cos remember, we're all about draining the swamp, people, unless it's our swamp and backers are prepared to bung us large amounts of cash in brown envelopes).

I wake every morning with hopes of impeachment.

They sold out of 1984 here - it had to be reprinted twice now.

I'm copying this over from the previous thread, hope you don't mind.

I'm currently on a job with someone who voted trump. He is so happy right now. He is looking forward to the wall, says all the news is fake and HATES planned parenthood.
He must have been brainwashed. That's the only answer. I think he's probably the only person in this city who voted for him.

Planned parenthood- as pp said, although most of what it provides is contraception and associated health checks, abortion is just one part of its services.
