Here's a better question...will those topics about gay rights and climate change/environmental protection EVER show up again on the Whitehouse.gov site over the next four years? Most liberal activists certainly have no good reason they will ever reappear again without a fight. Well obviously people think he did remove them that's why they reported it on Twitter.

caulfield12 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 “Potentially the biggest effect of this order could be widespread waivers from the individual mandate, which would likely create chaos in the individual insurance market,” said Larry Levitt, senior vice president at the Kaiser Family Foundation. In addition, he said, the order suggests that insurers may have new flexibility on the benefits they must provide. Trump’s action drew swift protests from ACA proponents who have coalesced to try to preserve the law. “While President Trump may have promised a smooth transition” from the current law to a replacement, said Leslie Dach, director of the fledging Protect Our Care Coalition, “the executive order does the opposite, threatening disruption for health providers and patients.” Other executive orders...the most notable being to overturn a recent mortgage-fee reduction — geared at helping first-time and low-income home buyers — that Obama announced last week and that called for the Federal Housing Administration to cut its annual borrowing fee by a quarter of a percentage point. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/tru...m=.355335f6fdbb 0/1 and likely to be 0/2 helping middle class American families the first day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) His speech to the CIA sure was... Something. Another Iraq invasion? https://twitter.com/brikeilarcnn/status/822...src=twsrc%5Etfw And his own hype men to applaud him while speaking, just like at his press conference last week https://twitter.com/giff18/status/822906986...src=twsrc%5Etfw Also used the occasion to brag about how many times he's been on the cover of Time, falsely claiming he holds the record, and also lied about how many people bothered to show up to his inauguration yesterday. It'll sure be interesting to have a full blown narcissist who's detached from reality running the country.

My wife & I went with some friends the the one in St. Louis. I haven't seen any estimates the of turnout yet, but I could not believe how many people showed up for it. We were very fortunate with the weather. It was close to 70*, last Saturday businesses were closing because of an ice storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 With all the illegal voting that made it look like Hillary had almost 3 million more votes than Trump, when in reality, the popular vote was a landslide victory for Trump, I wonder why he hasn't made that a top priority to get fixed. He is lucky, he is so great he can overcome that much fraud, but some of his fellow republicans cannot. That should be attacked soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 During his speech today at the CIA, Donald Trump accused the media of falsifying images of his inauguration to make the crowd look smaller, while standing in front of the memorial for fallen CIA operatives. The White House is now setting up for a press event with large, blown up photos of the inauguration taken from the perspective of the Capitol Building. Edit: President Donald Trump today also told the CIA that we may have to reinvade Iraq to take their oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
