B-Man Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 NO WONDER THE LEFT IS SO ANGRY AT BETSY DEVOS: DoE Civil Rights Office To Once Again Be “Neutral.” “In what appears to be yet another move to roll back the Obama era precedent of cabinet level “guidance memos” having the force of law, the Department of Education Civil Rights division will be transitioning back to being a “neutral” office rather than an activist force in the social justice movement. . . . One might imagine that the idea of ensuring that a government oversight agency remained a ‘neutral, impartial investigative’ entity wouldn’t be a controversial idea, but one would be wrong. It’s obviously plenty controversial in the eyes of many Democrats who had grown used to having their way on such matters under the presidency of Barack Obama. DeVos gave an apt description of many of the agency’s tactics when she described them as regulations issued via administrative fiat.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) An excellent image of Trumps agenda 👍🏻 Both Newt and Paul Ryan said that the republicans need to focus on getting things accomplished. I applaud them for saying so. Edited July 18, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Tensions are bubbling over between President Trump and Senate Republicans. White House officials are blaming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for getting stuffed at the goal line on ObamaCare repeal-and-replace legislation, while GOP senators say Trump failed to provide any meaningful political momentum for the prized measure. “He was of no help,” grumbled one GOP senator, who doubted that Trump would have done much to defend lawmakers from political attacks if the bill passed. http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/342650-tensions-reach-new-high-between-trump-gop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Franklin Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Trump now says "inaction is not an option" a day after "let it fail." It's like Daffy Duck is president.

Magox Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Trump now says "inaction is not an option" a day after "let it fail." It's like Daffy Duck is president. Yes I am. No you're not. Yes I am. No you're not. No you're not. Yes I am. Blam! He's impulsive to say the least. He pretty much says what he is feeling at that moment, with no to little regard to tact or facts. One of the worse white collar jobs in the world has to be being on his communication team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
