Shame on all of you who voted for this cretin!

[Big RR]

Well, so much for an open administration, let alone the sharing of scientific and other data the taxpayers have paid for.

[Guinevere]

I have a client waiting to hear about grant funded work which will be done cooperatively with EPA to clean up Hundred-year-old soil contamination in a residential neighborhood. Now I can't even ask EPA for an update on the status of our application.

Yeah, none of what the Trumpanzee does in his first few days impacts anybody. Fucker.

[wesw]

y'er gonna need more lawyers...

[Big RR]

Why are you gloating wes--do you honestly think this is a good idea? Why?

[Joe Guy]

First they came for the Agricultural Research Department and I did not speak out, because I was not an agriculturalist
Then they came for the EPA and I did not speak out,
because I was not an environmentalist...

[wesw]

I wasn t gloating, I was observing the trump admin is gonna be as busy as a hive full of bees, and thinking that the Dem establishment was gonna have a hard time keeping up...

I can appreciate genius without gloating and believe that I did.

again I was trying to brighten things up with a bit of humour.....

it s not my fault that you don t appreciate gloating..., er..., genius..... er..., humour , yeah humour......


seriously, there is a whole lotta shaking going on and I m not gonna like all of it...., that doesn t mean that trump s political moves are not genius....

[BoSoxGal]

If everyone ignored the sock puppet it might actually go away.

I wasn t gloating, I was observing the trump admin is gonna be as busy as a hive full of bees, and thinking that the Dem establishment was gonna have a hard time keeping up....

If a beehive (or in this case, a WASP's nest) bothers you enough, you wipe it out.

[wesw]

then you are gonna need more lawyers...., unless you suggest violence?

[wesw]

you want to "wipe out" the "WASPs" and send the "porch monkeys" "back to Africa"........

that s mighty white of you BB, mighty white.....

[Guinevere]

Ooooh diversion. Don't pay attention. This isn't genius, it's blatant authoritarianism and suppression of free speech and open government.

As for the lawyers, there are hundreds of thousands of us ready to go.

[Joe Guy]

How can Trump get away with banning any agency from issuing press releases? What next? Banning criticism of him?

Cheeto face needs to be stopped now.

[rubato]

The GOP has fucked us again.


yrs,
rubato

[wesw]

yeah, it was diversion....

how come you are smart enough not to get caught up in the "whose is bigger" and ""how many illegals voted" debate"

CNN certainly isn t.

he spends thirty seconds making a few meaningless comments and CNN has a conniption for three days over it, while virtually ignoring every meaningful issue.

he sets them up to finish the ruination of their almost nonexistent credibility completely and they fall all over themselves in their effort to take the baits...

these gag orders are the same...., basically meaningless....

shiney objects.....

[Guinevere]

Nope. They are suppressive and likely to cause actual harm. Exactly the kind of crap we expected and will call out. There will be lawsuits, too. Already working on it.

Meanwhile, a bunch of national Park service employees are standing up for what they believe in, refusing to be silenced, and tweeting the truth about climate change. #Heroes #Respect

[wesw]

....and as soon as you get your lawsuits all revved up...

poof!!!

the order disappears....

yer gonna need those hundreds of thousands of lawyers....


...but they are gonna be pricey....

[Guinevere]

Two words: pro bono

[wesw]

yeah, YOU are willing, but I fear that many of your brethren, or sistren, will have little patience for long term free efforts.

especially if the goalposts keep getting moved on them and they keep having to game plan for games that are never played.

[Bicycle Bill]

yeah, YOU are willing, but I fear that many of your brethren, or sistren, will have little patience for long term free efforts.

especially if the goalposts keep getting moved on them and they keep having to game plan for games that are never played.

So you are saying that Trump's master plan is to always keep 'em guessing and that he intends to run this county like a huge game of "Whack-a-Mole", or like Sheldon in the ball pit.  



And that's clever and inspired and good government and you're perfectly OK with that......
