Chaffetz working on legislation requiring future presidents to undergo physical and mental exam from Navy doctors. From the article:

Recent remarks from Chaffetz before The Washington Post editorial board left fellow lawmakers with the impression that the legislation would specifically include a requirement that presidential candidates undergo…

you do realize that the legisltaion regarding coal mines and streams was a new piece of legistation that the Obama Admin put in place right before Trump came into office. So your statement about allowing the dumping of coal polition into streams is way overblown. The EPA rules for streams are still in place like they have been all along and the…

I’m reserving and and all optimism until I see what sort of offensive line we put on the field. Until then, all bets are off.

Isn’t 50 laboratories of democracy preferable to this circus?

In some ways, yes. In lots of other ways, no. When each state starts deciding their own set of things like environmental regulations or safety standards or financial regulations without any sort of national commonality, you’re just begging for a disaster. In states with very s…[Read more]

Side note: I find it amusing that the board censors “p iss”, but not “shitshow”. 🙂

You claim that they sneaked around everyone’s back with these actions but overturning onerous regulations was a flat out promise from Trump himself. He is doing EXACTLY what he said he was going to do and calling his bluff would be a huge mistake at this point.

There are a hell of a lot of people that feel the same way I do, they just don’t want to put with bullshit so they don’t say anything. They walked into the booth, pulled for Trump and deny it at the dinner table and water cooler. I suspect the same thing will happen in four years.

While I’d disagree with you on what will happen in 4 yea…[Read more]

I can’t help but feel like Trump is out front commanding all the attention, while the actual players are using that distraction to pass things that otherwise might piss people off. For example, anyone else hear about overturning the regulation yesterday which prevents coal mines from dumping their debris into streams? How about him gutting the…[Read more]

Was it Phil Anselmo?

Well played, sir.

Apparently the national guard does not fall under posse comitatus, I’m not sure about that though, that was just in one of the articles I read.

Correct, mostly.

The Act does not apply to the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent s…

You berate a poster for citing the Heritage Foundation while you’re citing Huffpo? I think you owe him an appology.

Fine, here’s the AP story.

Spicer says that’s false (sort of), then accuses the press of not checking with him before they published. Which they tried to do. Multiple times.

From my hometown newspaper here in Oregon…

It seems to me that pissing off people whose entire job is to dig up dirt on people might not be the best idea in the world.

But hey, what do I know?

So when the guy holding the nuclear codes throws a nonsensical 77 minute temper tantrum for the whole world to see, we’re just supposed to shrug it off as “oh, that’s just Trump being Trump”?

Sorry man, there’s a growing number of us who refuse to normalize that bullshit.

EDITED: 77 minutes, not 90.
