DogofWar1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Trump seems to think killing the filibuster is a foregone conclusion. Problem, of course, is that so long as the spectre of Russia hangs over the White House I'm doubtful they kill it. I mean, can you imagine how bad it'd look if they killed the filibuster for Trump only for Trump to get recommendations of indictment against him?

visionary Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Quote Mr. Trump accepted the recommendation of Elaine C. Duke, his acting secretary of Homeland Security, to include Chad in the travel ban after she wrote in a classified report that the country had done too little to crack down on Islamic extremists. The president announced the travel restrictions after the White House’s Domestic Policy Council distributed Ms. Duke’s report to relevant agencies to seek input, according to officials at the State Department and the Pentagon. Officials at both departments were opposed to banning travelers from Chad, concerned about American interests, as were diplomats at the American embassy in the capital of N’Djamena, administration officials said. But Stephen Miller, the president’s senior policy adviser, urged adoption of the entire list as recommended by Ms. Duke, officials said. They would not be named discussing internal deliberations. The addition of Chad to the list of countries from which most travel is banned both befuddled and frustrated a host of administration officials who deal with Africa. Embassy officials said they were still trying to figure out why Chad was on the list. Quote At the Pentagon, several Defense officials expressed anger that years of close work could be jeopardized by what one characterized as a “casual” process that failed to take into account America’s long-term interests in the region. Current and former officials at the United States Africa Command, which works closely with the Chadian military to fight Islamic extremists in north and central Africa, said they could not explain the inclusion and referred inquiries to the White House. Carter Ham, a retired general who formerly headed the Africa Command, called the decision to put Chad on the list “puzzling.” The president’s proclamation said Chad “does not adequately share public safety and terrorism-related information and fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion.” Administration officials declined to provide details, but the White House and the Homeland Security Department defended the move. “This was not a subjective exercise,” said Dave Lapan, a Homeland Security spokesman. “We laid out a very clear baseline of the information we needed from all countries, and all countries were measured equally to determine whether they met that baseline.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Quote They also discussed the hot-button culture wars of the day, prodding Trump about his NFL feud. The president noted the positive reaction he believe he had received. From there, talk drifted towards a defense of maintaining statues honoring Confederate soldiers—a defense Trump had first mounted following the white nationalist protest and violence in Charlottesville. “He talked generally about how society is having all of these conversations and there are just certain things that should be sacred,” said a source familiar with the discussion. “And he felt like on both those topics [the NFL and the statues] our American history is important and we should be careful about discarding it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Here is Donald Trump's explanation for the Administration's response to Puerto Rico so far. It's pretty technical, so try to follow along: "This is a thing called the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a very big ocean. You can't drive a truck there. This is an island, sitting in the middle of an ocean, and it’s a big ocean. That island was hit as hard as you can hit. Literally houses are just demolished. It was like tornadoes. It was like having hundreds of tornadoes.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Dear Senator McCain, You've been in Congress long enough to know that all policy decisions are driven by special interests. In your remaining days, I hope you introduce legislation to outlaw the Citizens United decision. A grateful nation will thank you! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
