LittleHurt05 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 QUOTE (brett05 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 07:29 AM) I must miss a lot of posts. It seems the board is 90+ liberal The board as a whole is more conservative, but the majority of posts in the 'Buster lean way more liberal.

Quin Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:55 PM) What the f***? Why? Intimidation, I guess? WikiLeaks is bottom of the barrel when it comes to stuff like this, as has been shown time and time again. My guess is WikiLeaks is wants to hurt one person and doesn't care about collateral, like they did in Turkey. I have close friends that are verified, so this freaks me out a bit.

caulfield12 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-election-...--election.html Now we're just supposed to take Trump's astute foreign policy advice that having a positive relationship with Russia and completely ignoring the corruption of the Yeltsin/Putin oligarchy is somehow going to work out well for the world?

What, a minority of US voters agreed with that, but they were of a certain group that for some reason is more important than everyone else. You have a problem with that?

Balta1701 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Chuck Schumer takes Mitch McConnell's 2009 letter to Obama asking for cabinet level nominees to submit all their documents and complete a vetting by the office of government ethics before hearings are held on them, strikes off McConnell's name, puts his name, tweets it.

StrangeSox Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The federal week in review: 1. Trump fires all Ambassadors and Special Envoys, ordering them out by inauguration day. 2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce an individual civil service, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State. 3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with Trump's first press conference in months and an ACA budget vote, effectively preventing any concentrated coverage or protest. 4. House GOP expressly forbids the Congressional Budget Office from reporting or tracking ANY costs related to the repeal of the ACA. 5. Trump continues to throw the intelligence community under the bus to protect Putin, despite the growing mountain of evidence that the Russians deliberately interfered in our election. 6. Trump breaks a central campaign promise to make Mexico pay for the wall by asking Congress (in other words, us, the taxpayers) to pay for it. 7. Trump threatens Toyota over a new plant that was never coming to the US nor will take jobs out of the US. 8. House passes the REINS act, giving them veto power over any rules enacted by any federal agency or department--for example, FDA or EPA bans a drug or pesticide, Congress can overrule based on lobbyists not science. Don't like that endangered species designation, Congress kills it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Dominic HoldenVerified account @dominicholden Jeff Sessions says he will make sure that "the statutes protecting [LGBT people’s] safety and civill rights are enforced." Dominic Holden ✔ @dominicholden The loophole in Sessions's comment is that there isn’t a blanket federal LGBT nondiscrimination “statute” like civil rights laws. If Trump wants to do something illegal, Sessions will boldly stand up for what is right by...resigning. His job is to uphold and enforce the Constitution. That answer should be instantly disqualifying by itself. Edited January 10, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
