Corvinus85 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Spicer's latest attempt at damage control regarding "alternative facts" is to compare the presentation of these "facts" with a meteorologist interpreting the weather data to try to make an accurate prediction. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/sean-spicer-defends-using-alternative-facts-says-theyre-070515714--abc-news-topstories.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindwalker Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Oh, thanks. Figures. i hope that he will hear this phrase directed at him soon. But realistically, the only thing we could hope for is something like "You're unfit for work" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Queen Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 14 hours ago, Dr. Pepper said: Someone in charge of The Badlands National Park twitter feed thankfully decided it was worth getting fired in order to put out a series of climate change tweets in defiance of a ban by the Trump admin. Brave tweeter, whoever you are, you are a treasure. I never thought that speaking the truth in this country would be an act of rebellion. Bravo. Golden Gate NP took up the mantle after Badlands' tweets were deleted. Good for them too! I sent Badlands an email thanking them. Their official stance is that it was a former employee who did it but whatever. I'm still grateful. We're heading to Yellowstone this summer and since we're driving the Badlands (and Glacier) are on the itinerary as well. We liberal snowflakes are becoming an avalanche.

Lordsteve666 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Part of me gets the feeling that just constantly keeping the pressure on Trump will at some point cause him to flip spectacularly, to the extent people start to refuse to follow orders. I mean just thinking about the whole thing in Standing Rock, if the protesters end up back in there and a bunch of veterans go along to help them, what would happen if he loses his shit and orders the police (read hired mercenaries) to shoot to kill? Or what If in the future there is some delicate international negotiation going on (hostage release or whatever) and he goes on a twitter rampage. How long before his temper tantrums cause serious life/death catastrophe and it all falls apart? I honestly can't see him lasting 4 years, something big will go down and he'll lose his rag and have to be forced out or disappear in shame. Either that or your poor country is going back to the dark ages over the next four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we decided to go now, while we still can. For all we know, in a year you'll need papers to travel state to state. I also joined the National Parks Foundation. It's that important to me. Since the people at Badlands and GG were so awesome, it's time for some rogue IRS employee to step up and release Trump's tax returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be all over the class action language if it did. Makes sense. You obviously came up at the height of the lead crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if the government uses the NSA/FBI power to find out and punish whistleblowers. I am sure Assange will be there to help. /sarcasm. Useless Russian nationalist.

Lordsteve666 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Is it not crazy he is now going after voter fraud? i mean he always banged on about it being rigged to allow Hilary to win, but that didn't happen. Sonis he still arguing it was rigged in her favour despite winning? I've heard of bad losers but he's just a bad winner. The only logical reason I can see for this being pushed is Republicans will use the "evidence" of voter fraud to basically redo a lot of voting constituencies, basically remaking everything in their favour. It's the perfect time for them to use as an excuse for serious gerrymandering and the like to move things so much in their favour they can never loose again. Its just an excuse to let them rig the system in their favour for the future. Using alt-facts about fraud is the perfect cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's looking really worrying if I'm honest. First discredit the media, making out everything they say is lies. Now replace that media with your own alternative versions of events. Then shut down any operations within government that might not "agree" with your policies (hello EPA, park's service etc). Round up any "aliens" you don't like the look of and you feel threaten you little kingdom. Then set about fiddling the system to ensure you can lose power in the future. I honestly dread to think what's next on the agenda.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
