So it sounds like the Shit Gibbon didnāt shit on-screen and thus appeared presidential?
Perhaps President Bannon will allow 45 to use his desk to sign the next EO instead of 45ās big boy desk?

Fact checking is here:
I never watch the speeches themselves because I canāt stand his voice and hate looking at his mouth hole flap but reading the transcripts is interesting because you can very easily see the difference in tone, vocabulary, structure and grammar. Compare and contrast with the transcript of the press conference he gave.
This isnāt trump speaking, itās a speechwriter desperately trying to polish a big, orange turd.

I work at a large public university in Ontario. That is now holding information sessions with immigration lawyers, from a law firm they have retainedā¦ for faculty members travelling to the USA for academic conferences.
Is the wall going to encircle the entire lower 48?

A SPINELESS press is stating that this is the āsofter sideā of 45. WTF? It infuriates me that the press thinks we are that stupid.
HorseSHIT!

On NPR this morning, they talked to a few voters as well as pundits for their opinion.
Nearly every person started off their comments with something like āI was impressed that he was calm.ā
When your low expectations are proven wrong because the President didnāt lose his temper, insult people to their face, and start screaming lies, those are some extremely low expectations to rise above.

Scary thing to me is that it might be a deliberate strategy.

I guess people were impressed that he was able to get through a speech without being overtly racist, telling a Jew to shut up and sit down, or belligerently quoting alt-right false-flag conspiracy theories. How presidential!
Actually the best commentary I heard was from Lindsey Graham, who said (paraphrased): āWhoever his new speechwriter is, they did a good job. They wrote a speech full of puppies and kittens and rainbows, and everyone loves those things. And he didnāt lose his temper, for once. Infrastructure improvements? Better education? Tax cuts? Sure, whoās going to say they donāt want those things? But you canāt cut taxes AND magically find a trillion dollars to improve infrastructure. So until we see a budget, itās all meaningless.ā

I disagree. Horseshit composts into really good potting soil. No such usefulness in either his or the journo claims of āgetting betterā.

The plan to slash EPAās staff from its current level of 15,000 to 12,000ā¦ cutting the agencyās grants to states, including its air and water programs, by 30 percent, and eliminating 38 separate programs in their entirety. The agencyās Office of Research and Development could face a cut of up to 42 percentā¦ eliminates funding altogether for the officeās ācontribution to the U.S. Global Change Research Program,ā a climate initiative then-President George H.W. Bush launched in 1989.

Iām a little surprised theyāre bothering to keep up the charade of letting the EPA exist at all; the administrationās been pretty up front about wanting to destroy it entirely.
