287. Forbes reports that scientists have been frantically copying scientific public data from government websites. Many fear that websites will disappear or be cleansed, data will be buried, and access degraded as scientific funds are cut. 288. Trump ordered the National Park service to stop counting protester and inauguration day crowds as he didn't like the numbers he was seeing. This doesn't bode well for our intelligence gathering agencies. Spicer was sent out to relate outright lies about the crowds, Metro ridership, grass coverings, magnometers,and photographs. Who going believe me or your lying eyes? 289. Trump took the first step at dismantling the ACA by issuing an executive order allowing exclusions. I thought the Republicans said executive orders were unconstitutional? 290, Trump fails to act in the first day, the first hour on immigration. Another broken promise. Politicians like him will say anything to get elected then forget all about it!
Yes, I thought that was odd....Major business of the day yesterday....Trump...have your Press person make a big speech about how big your crowd really was.....as we continue to make America great again.
Scientific funds cut, too, eh? It gets scarier and scarier every day......Trump's ignorant America can become even more ignorant.
290. It's a marathon not a sprint. I will give this thread a second chance now that it's based on things actually being done.
So you say that you think the monolithic faked the news and the photo, and that really the Trump crowd was as big or bigger than Obama's? Do you also believe the moon landing was faked?
They said the inauguration crowd didn't even go back to the Washington Monument, but it did. The right side of the photo was taken before the crowd fully gathered. They were taking cheap shots and being dishonest. Do I think this year's crowd was bigger than Obama's crowd? I don't know and I don't care. It's possible Obama's was bigger because his inauguration was more historical. Do I believe the moon landing was faked? No. Thanks to the moon landing and the rock samples we brought back from the moon, mankind has been able to discover where non-ferrous lunar meteorites came from. Osama Bin Laden's assassination though was totally faked.
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/put-picture-again-chris-wallace-170700584.html If you're that hard core that you believe Bin Laden's assassination was faked, you're beyond the pale of rational discussion. Enjoy your alternate reality. https://www.cnet.com/news/alternative-facts-twitter-tweets-kellyanne-conway-donald-trump-sean-spicer-chuck-todd/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CNETAsiaCrave
So the disturbing part was that Trump sent Spicer out to dispute the crowd size. Cuz it makes him look bad. And Trump hates to look bad. So he takes time out from making America great again to send this guy out to claim everyone's lying...."My crowd was too bigger than yours!" Like an 8 year old kid. One commentator said he made Spicer "walk the plank". Very Presidential
Yes, but did Spicer know he was lying for trump when he walked the plank? I think so....It is alternate facts....as they try to explain it away...."Alternate facts".....lies..... Way to start a Presidency! Way to go! It will be hard to believe anything Spicer says from now on.. I already see the sinkhole forming in the Presidency just two days in.
Comedy relief, anyone? Yeah.....could be funny, if it did not feel so true.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNK430YOiT4
"alternate facts" lol I think it is plausible that the picture of Trump's crowd was taken before the entire crowd actually arrived, but shouldn't really be difficult to verify. Did any cameras pan the crowd during his speech? I only watched for a couple of minutes so I don't know. but that's beside the point to me, the fact that they had a press conference specifically for this and then used the phrasing "alternate facts" and then blatantly lied and said it was the largest inauguration crowd in history...to use Trump's own phrasing, Sad!
It was on CNN tonight. Kelly used the term alternate facts, as she was trying to explain the lies away to the reporter....and there were 5blatant lies in what Spicer reported....CNN still trying to tell it like it is...i wonder how long that will last, though.... NO, the inauguration crowd was not as big as Spicer said last night..
Would you believe me of I told you I captured Sasquatch. But then I killed it and threw its body in the ocean before I could pull out my camera to take a photo and prove it to you? Then have Hollywood make a movie based on my tall tale?
and CNN also reported that the size of Trump's inauguration crowd was forefront. What did Georgia get for the lost citizens in that tornado there? I think 2 whole minutes of rhetoric.
There were lots of eyewitnesses there, including lots of professional journalists. Trump and his lackeys seem to be trying to characterize the media as liars. Whatever the problems of the media, I find it incredible that every trained journalist is either incompetent or part of a sinister conspiracy to delegitimize Trump. Seeing him in action since launching his political career as a Birther, the Big Lie seems to be part of his repertoire, as it was for Adolf.
Bin Laden isn't Big Foot. Where is he now? And if you are the only witness to the Sasquatch capture, I wouldn't believe you, because: (1) its an extraordinary event requiring an extraordinary amount of evidence; and (2) I don't trust your judgment. But I do trust our Navy Seals, and yes, our government leaders. And the killing of Bin Laden was never challenged by Al Qaeda or any Islamic source. It was good enough for Al Jazeera. Of course to diehard conspiracy theorists, Hitler survived and made it to Latin America, Elvis also survived, 9-11 and the Oklahoma City Murrah bombing were inside jobs, Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya,etc. So where did you get your information? What are your sources?
They said, 'Give him a chance.' But here we are two days into his presidency and he has lied about the crowd size attending his inauguration, and now his administration lies about the lie calling it 'alternative facts.' And today he demonstrated that he was lying all along about releasing his tax returns. In his inaugural speech he said something about bringing the government back to the people---but those of us who knew Trump tried to warn everyone that he is a pathological liar. And he has spent his whole life taking care of Number 1 and Number 1 only----January 20th did not change that----obviously because his ego and narcissism are so big, that he even has to lie about the numbers of people attending his inauguration! ANd by the way, it was reported that even TV ratings for the inauguration were low.
And in other news tonight about Donald Trump on CNN...which is all that is ever on the news anymore....Donald Trump........The White House discusses moving the US Israeli Embassy to Jerusalem, and it showed Palestinians in the streets burning and defacing Trump's photos., in reaction to this news. "President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Washington, as discussions begin on possibly moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a move which is likely to enrage Palestine. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said in a statement Sunday that the administration was only “at the very beginning stages of even discussing this subject.” Authorities in Jerusalem reportedly took the White House’s comment to mean the embassy relocation was a done deal, however. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat was cited in local media saying the announcement “sent a clear message to the world that the U.S. recognizes Jerusalem as the indivisible capital of the State of Israel.” The issue of relocating the embassy first came up when Trump named his U.S. Ambassador to Israel as David Friedman, who immediately proclaimed that he would move the embassy to “Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.” Palestinians, who view Jerusalem as their capital as well, have vehemently opposed any plans to move the embassy. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned earlier this month that the move would have a “disastrous impact on the peace process.”
