Trump plans to ban the EPA from funding science, report says

 

That "just got handed a note" thing is straight out of 1984, right?

 

That is at most press briefings. There are about 100 million different things that have happened since Trump announced his candidacy that are more Orwellian.

 

"Why are you lying to our face?"

 

Donald Trump is a snowflake that needs a safe space.

 

lol.

 

Yes. Because he doesn't have the "enormous support" he claims he has. He lost by 3 million votes. His approval ratings are the lowest on record for an incoming president. But he is acting like he has an overwhelming mandate and the support of all the American people behind him. The press *should* challenge that, because it simply isn't true.

 

This is a reporter

 

In two questions he just A) Would not deny that the president may put troops back on the ground to 'take the oil' because the president is a "Good negotiator" and then B) completely ignored a question asking what the President would do about Gitmo.

War crimes are Donald Trump's mission day 1 (not that that should be a surprise to anyone)

 

With your avatar, all I thought when I read this was:

"Reporters are a superstitious and cowardly lot...."

 

We are so so fucked.

 

JOOJOO AZAD | جوجو آزاد: Please Keep Your American Flags Off My Hijab

"How are we able to hold up signs of Muslim women wearing the American flag and chant slogans of supposed solidarity while drones carrying the same flag killed our Muslim family in Yemen at the exact same moment and we said nothing?
While the women's march was making history, the new administration was already repeating it.
Did you even know that Trump has already administered drone strikes? Of course not.
You were not supposed to know.
You are only supposed to hold our silent faces wrapped in the cloth that has suffocated our voices.
Anyway, it's more peaceful that way, isn't it?"
