So odds on Kelly still being in the white house in Jan?

She looks miserable, couldn't wait for the week to end

Reporting that this admin is constantly lying isn't partisan, nor opinion. It's fact, and needs to be known

Just watched the briefing. Wow she is horrible. Its good to know this WH ends careers though as Spicy and Prebius are finding out.

Also why does that one reporter ALWAYS ask the most assanine questions?! With EVERYTHING he could talk about he asks about if the visit tp Britain is a working visit or State visit and will the president meet with the queen?!

No one cares! People in the U.S. dont care! People in Britain don't care!

Normally, the places on reddit I hang out in are generally apolitical. Mostly game and hobby forums.

But this post stuck out to me. It's about Lego releasing a "Women of NASA" set, which is apparently offensive. There's even a conspiracy theory that Lego colluding with a feminist on Twitter or some garbage like that buried in the comments for extra comedy. Instead of making a "real" set that wasn't "just added because of sjws"

I never really expected r/thedonald to leak onto r/lego of all places. It's a forum about toys...

I wasn't watching but sometimes they pick cronies from Breitbart and One America News to lob them softballs.

Thank FUCK they don't do those Skype questions anymore. Really comforting to see them take questions from the Federalist like, "WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT BE DESTROYED?" (That really happened by the way)

@maggieNYT
But WH has successfully turned debate into referendum on Wilson as opposed to how Gold Star family feels about POTUS

Habermann needs to fucking stop. She needs to acknowledge the difference between a pundit and a reporter. She’s acting like some sort of detached observer talking about how Trump is manipulating the media while she is simultaneously being manipulated. All because she would rather spit hot takes to try to show twitter how savvy she is.

@maggieNYT
Video of Wilson's speech that Kelly mischaracterized

Fucking mischaracterized?

Fuck. Off. And. Do. Your. Fucking. Job.

Does she do this stuff to maintain access to Trump or what? Otherwise she’s ridiculous.

If you didn't understand how much "white identity" is tied into the whole country music identity for many people, the attacks on the "cowboy hat" being worn by a black woman should make it clearer.

We all know David Clarke is the only black person allowed to wear cowboy hats.

It is weird, until you remember that figures like Clarke, Carson, Cain, etc. often function to launder racist views held by the conservative base into the realm of respectable opinion.

So uh, Trump issued this Executive Order about an hour ago. It gives the White House the authority to recall retired members of the Military back into active service.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-pres...xecutive-order-amending-executive-order-13223

There are two lines of thought I have seen on what this means, both of which are very concerning. Gearing up for war is the obvious one. But there is also the thought that they are going to try and prevent public criticism by ex-military leaders, by forcing them back into the military, "legally" removing their ability to publically criticise the government.

Per ModBot on the locked thread - I'm pretty sure during a national case of emergency, POTUS already has the authority to call back retired members of the military anyway into active duty.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/688

(a)Authority.—
Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, a member described in subsection (b) may be ordered to active duty by the Secretary of the military department concerned at any time.

(b)Covered Members.—Except as provided in subsection (d), subsection (a) applies to the following members of the armed forces:
(1) A retired member of the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, or RegularMarine Corps.
(2) A member of the Retired Reserve who was retired under section 1293, 3911, 3914, 6323, 8911, or 8914 of this title.
(3) A member of the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve.

(c)Duties of Member Ordered to Active Duty.—
The Secretary concerned may, to the extent consistent with other provisions of law, assign a member ordered to active duty under this section to such duties as the Secretary considers necessary in the interests of national defense

The change is that the Secretary of the Army, Navy, and Air Force can do the same thing as the Secretary of Defense normally can. Basically the SecDef no longer has to micromanage every single person recalled into active duty from retirement.

 

[Tamanon]

It looks like it delegates the authority from the Secretary of Defense to the individual branch secretaries instead.

Still an odd change.

I think you're right. Seems pretty benign to me.

With that being said, being over vigilant about EOs is better than not paying attention, especially with this administration, though it always a good idea to not panic too quickly over things.

This opioid thing is really, really bothering me. They need to get this under control as soon as possible. I've lost two friends from high school (one was my best friend since birth) to opioids in the last 6 months. This isn't just a drug issue--it's an economic one as well.

It hits rural America the hardest, so it gets ignored. Even in Washington state you can see how once it started to hit Seattle, everyone got all real interested in trying to do something about it recently. Be rich, white, and live on the coast. That's the ticket in this country.

Yep--it's rural whites. Republicans know they'll get voted for by this group no matter what, so they ignore it. In the rural Midwest it is running rampant. Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin. It's at crazy levels.
