I note that yesterday Trump went on and on about those big bad regulations that cost our businesses so much money. Yeah, you know... the ones that wouldn't allow them to dump toxic sludge in rivers and things like that. Pesky damn laws.

cozietoesie · 15/02/2017 15:41

....our businesses...?

AcrossthePond55 · 15/02/2017 15:41

Pence or Trump is the choice between evil or evil and insane.

Not really much of a choice.

Deejoda · 15/02/2017 15:42

Rousette I do feel sorry for the WH staffers he inherited. Atleast we have distance from it all. Poor people!

I think it depends whether you want to see in 2018, Across. Sad

Flynn lied to VP, but he's not the only one. Pence has been angry at POTUS too.

GingerIvy · 15/02/2017 15:46

Across If they put Pence in as POTUS, then he will do some damage - mostly to women's rights - although if he tries to overturn Roe v Wade (which seems to be a goal for him), I think he may find more protesting than is comfortable - especially in this politically charged climate. He will have to walk softly for awhile - perhaps until 2018 - and then elections for GOP, which means it could then be a Dem Congress. (fingers crossed)

I'm truly curious about how Angry Spice's press briefing will go today. Grin

If there is one.

Group urges New York AG to put Trump out of business by revoking charter

Roussette · 15/02/2017 15:50

Totally agree Ginger. I thought there was hope in Ivanka. She said she was going to champion womens' rights, like hell she is. Also Kushner who is just going to further Israel's agenda and deepen divisions. He was wheeled in to be an advisor by DT and in the past has talked about his jewish GPs and other relations trying to flee Europe, how Roosevelt and the US shut the door on them, how ships were turned away and people sent to their deaths. Yet he has endorsed 'the ban'. Not sure how he can live with himself actually.

cozietoesie · 15/02/2017 15:50

If I were SNL's producers, I'd be considering mounting a 'special'. Smile

GingerIvy · 15/02/2017 15:53

Kushner and his family have HUGE involvement in Israel's agenda. I can only assume Ivanka agrees with it (as he is her husband and she has not spoken openly against it) and agrees with the rubbish her father is spouting (as she has actively campaigned for him). I don't think she has a conscience any more than her brothers do.

Roussette · 15/02/2017 15:54

Yes Deejoda, I would think there's sleepless nights and skulduggery going on. It must be hell to work there.

"Morale is low, factionalism is rampant and exhaustion is running high." All whilst, if you are a women, having to wear the right clothes.

Worth reading about what's going on in that hell hole!

POTUS knew Flynn was lying, but assured VP he was telling truth.

GingerIvy · 15/02/2017 15:56

The thing with Pence is this.... he doesn't seem to be fully "in the loop" with Trump, Bannon, Miller, and Kushner. I think he was brought in to legitimise Trump as he has political experience.

I don't know enough about Pence to know if he is a liar. To be fair, while he appears to have some pretty dick-ish viewpoints, he's always been up front about them.

GingerIvy · 15/02/2017 15:58

Trump's ultimatum to Nato allies: Spend more or we will 'moderate commitment' www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/15/trumps-ultimatum-nato-allies-spend-will-moderate-commitment/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Oh yeah, piss off Nato now. What a twat.

cozietoesie · 15/02/2017 16:10

To be fair, other Presidents have also said the same - about NATO members upping spend. (I seem to recall Obama doing it in 2016.) It's the context.
