Sorry - technically with time issues, as it was in the last 8 hours or so, it happened yesterday.

The Obamacare purge has begun. The Trump administration is deleting references to it from the HHS site cnn.it/2kadPyO

Demanded phone and demanded password.

Impressive.

Even Obama couldn't get Apple to unlock their iPhone.
Better go straight to the owner, I suppose.

Trump's wall would take 3 and a half years to build and would cost $21.6 billion, according to an internal report

If only the wall could be built around the White House.
Cheaper and more useful.

Hey @realDonaldTrump, when you show up to court, bring your tax returns.

Wow, just looked at this thread and there are 263 messages already! I am not totally up on US politicians, being British...other than Pence are there any other feasible options if DT is impeached, and someone worse like, I'm thinking in particular of Bannon, couldn't become president could he? [cowers in fear at the thought]

Lweji · 10/02/2017 11:43

Some useful advice.

In particular, IMO, criticising GOP and the Republican Administration more or the same as el Presidente.

I don't know whether to say Thanks or No Thanks. I do appreciate all the hard work in putting up these posts, though.

The order of succession is Mike Pence (arguably far worse than Trump), Speaker of the House; Paul Ryan - (Republican fan of Ayn Rand, but slow to endorse Trump when he won the nomination, Roman Catholic which is certainly less crazy that the Southern Independent Fundamentalist Baptist movement). Then Senate Presdient; Orrin Hatch - (Republican, Mormon, anti-gay not as bad as Pence). Then Secretary of State; Rex Tillerson - (Republican, Protestant, has helped end discrimination against gay boy scouts, ties to Exxon and Putin, supports Saudi Arabia). Then Secretary of Treasury; Adam Szubin - (Democrat, Jewish, Harvard educated lawyer, worked for Obama administration.) And on down throughout the various secretaries.

On the off chance America falls foul to a Y The Last Man type of catastrophe the first woman in succession is ineligible as she was born in Taiwan, the second will not hold the office for long as she is just a stand in for Rick Perry. And the next is Betsy DuVos, so that will be marvellous. Hmm

There's a yuge range among Roman Catholics. He could well belong to the fundamentalist branch.

GingerIvy · 10/02/2017 12:36

Let's not ever even contemplate DeVos as President. It makes Trump look like a picnic.

It should probably be noted that two cities on the west coast (Seattle, and another one that I can't remember Blush) have pulled their funding from Wells Fargo re the DAP.
