If I'm not mistaken, 4 out of 5 of those states have a Republican governor and Congress? In relation to state laws, I see republican lawmakers in North Dakota have proposed a law that could turn roads into life size bowling alleys. I see no reason why this wouldn't pass, none whatsoever.

The departments of Commerce and Energy would see major reductions in funding, with programs under their jurisdiction either being eliminated or transferred to other agencies. The departments of Transportation, Justice and State would see significant cuts and program eliminations. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely. Overall, the blueprint being used by Trump’s team would reduce federal spending by $10.5 trillion over 10 years. -skip- The Heritage blueprint used as a basis for Trump’s proposed cuts calls for eliminating several programs that conservatives label corporate welfare programs: the Minority Business Development Agency, the Economic Development Administration, the International Trade Administration and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership. The total savings from cutting these four programs would amount to nearly $900 million in 2017. At the Department of Justice, the blueprint calls for eliminating the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Violence Against Women Grants and the Legal Services Corporation and for reducing funding for its Civil Rights and its Environment and Natural Resources divisions. At the Department of Energy, it would roll back funding for nuclear physics and advanced scientific computing research to 2008 levels, eliminate the Office of Electricity, eliminate the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Under the State Department’s jurisdiction, funding for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Paris Climate Change Agreement and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are candidates for elimination. The parties aren't the same. Fuck off. I don't want to hear both sides are the fucking same ever again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altherion Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 12 hours ago, Rippounet said: Quote Rick Perry thought the Department of Energy was about oil and gas, not the actual nuclear energy stockpiles that the US has. He had no idea, and neither did Trump. You. Can't. Make. This. Shit. Up. Actually, you can. It would have been amusing, but it seems that this story about Perry just isn't true. As the article points out, Perry's reaction statement to his appointment was: Quote “As the former governor of the nation’s largest energy producing state, I know American energy is critical to our economy and our security. I look forward to engaging in a conversation about the development, stewardship and regulation of our energy resources, safeguarding our nuclear arsenal, and promoting an American energy policy that creates jobs and puts America first.” More generally, there don't appear to be any sources whatsoever for the New York Times article. They should have stuck to Perry forgetting the DoE during the debate; as it is, this is just more fake news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for Jets fans he will still be the owner. Does he know that what we call 'soccer' in the States is what the UK call 'football'? Would be sad if he got off on the wrong foot(ball) right away.

At a time when such papers should be very careful to be exemplary. Edit: though, to be fair, "mischaracterization" can mean many things... But they still shouldn't have used McKenna's quote as a headline. Worst-case scenario, they might even have been tricked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRider Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 So all those regulations the R's cry about, they don't do anyone a bit of good at all! Or do they? They try to keep corps honest, it's a an ongoing struggle. And The Orange Shit Thing and the R's want eliminate a bunch of regs and stack the deck in the corps favor. If so, less of this could be seen; Uber Agrees to Pay $20 Million to Settle FTC Charges That it Recruited Prospective Drivers with Exaggerated Earnings Claims Costco to pay $11.75 mln over lax U.S. pharmacy controls Western Union to Pay $586 Million Over Failure to Stop Fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunderMifflin Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Anyone think Obama and Trumps campaign slogans seem to fit each other better. Make America Great Again - I'd argue that many areas were returned to great status during Obama's terms Change We Need - a lot of change has already happened before Trump even takes office.
