A round up of Trumpian events šŸ–•šŸŠšŸ¤”

Itā€™s weird that so far the reaction Iā€™ve seen has been ā€œā€¦welpā€.

After all the vicious fights over the ACA, they just quietly removed over 16 million people from their healthcare in a run-around clause tucked into a tax bill. And thereā€™s absolutely nothing we can do about it but not have insurance anymore.

What pisses me off is how pleased Trump seems to be about lying about this, knowing that it would anger most Americans. Heā€™s literally celebrating the fact that he screwed over Americans, and thinks nobody knew. His exact quote:
ā€œWe didnā€™t want to bring it up. I told people specifically 'be quiet with the fake news media because I donā€™t want them talking too much about it. Because I didnā€™t know how people would - but now that itā€™s approved, I can say the individual mandate has been repealed.ā€

Hey, the rest of the world. When she says ā€œAmericaā€ and ā€œAmericansā€, she means Donald Trump. Not the rest of us, honestly. Just him.

Absolutely disgusting.

Iā€™m not even convinced this (chain migration) is a real thing.

Itā€™s a verfied account, fwiw, and itā€™s not unbelievable from this group.

Even if fake, theyā€™re probably thinking it.

Oh, Iā€™m sure itā€™s a real tweet. I was questioning if this so called chain migration is really a thing.

Ah. That. Probably not, not the way theyā€™re claiming, anyways.

Depends on your opinion of FAIR since they are pretty much the single citation for chain migration figures outside other ā€œnonprofitsā€ using ā€œrealā€ ā€œdata.ā€

Really puts this past year in perspective. Setting aside all the sensational things that have been going on, real damage has been done.

Quite an honor for a trumpite to be our ambassador to the court of the House of Orange.

another case of the fox guarding the henhouse:

Slate: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Has a New Mission: Protecting America From ā€œBurdensome Regulationsā€

Did the administration have the gall to argue that the EPA protects the business environment, or is that just implied?

Lost in all the NN madness.

Surprised that @doctorow isnā€™t all over this.

One journalistā€™s perspective:
