Trump's budget director claims Obama was 'manipulating' jobs data (yet Trump is happy to use the exact same data for his own purposes, apparently)

I do like the fact the area that was posted on the website was called 'Horrible Things' - so true!

Hmm... again, on the premise the RP is legit, he/she (remember my theory it is Spicer?) is thinking this Tran thing could be leading to a Secret Service purge and/drastic security changes at the White House. Perhaps a bigly wall?

My only thought is, if Tran did have an appointment - or thought he did - why did he scale a fence? Was he turned back at the gates?

Sinking suspicion that Tran really did have an "appointment." Bannon wants this to be pretext for "security improvements."

Another deflection?

AcrossthePond55 · 13/03/2017 01:46

Trump (Bannon) wants his own security who are loyal to him. Not the Secret Service, who are loyal to the country. They can't be 'trusted' to keep Trump's dirty secrets or turn a blind eye to dirty deeds.

The Secret Service doesn't sign Non Disclosure Agreements. And if subpoenaed they aren't going to perjure themselves for someone like Trump.

Apparently Pruitt's office has been deluged with phone calls for questioning global warming.

His office's number seems to have been made public.

If this is so, it really is extraordinary. Yet amongst the crazy storm of everything else Trump, I'm not sure many people will appreciate just how unusual it is. Bannon is chipping normal procedure bit by bit and replacing it with - fascist building blocks, if you like. Eventually - like the analogy of a frog boiling in water - you have an authoritarian government, led by a demagogue turned dictator.

Since we are getting perilously close to the end of this thread, I've take the liberty of creating another one. I hope no- one minds!

Ah, ah.

Only Fox to say that senators "doubt" he'll present evidence.

I'll eat my hat if he does. Well, anything that a court would consider evidence."Because I know" doesn't count.
