@KingKoopa I get your point about change, but what change has Trump prescribed that will help Middle America? Just look at the Education and Labor picks, these people aren't willing to better the opportunities that Middle America desperately needs.

News recently broke indicating that this is exactly what they are going to do. This week Multichannel News reported that the Trump FCC transition team were embracing an “FCC Remake.” John Eggerton of Multichannel reported:

"“[the] approach would be to restructure FCC bureaus to better reflect the convergence of the digital age as a first step, and, eventually, move functions deemed “duplicative,” like, say, competition and consumer protection, to other agencies, particularly the Federal Trade Commission”"

In other words, the Trump Transition team is creating a situation where there is no oversight over what an internet service provider can do in relation to consumer protection. The FCC would be stripped of its power, completely nullifying recent pro-consumer Net Neutrality rules. Furthermore, the courts have left the FTC unable to aid consumers against the likes of Comcast, Charter, and others.

Prez keep thinking they defeat isis but they lucky to take out only the head in charge. The next in line will come up and create more terrorism

Its a failing strategy but they want that arab oil money. :smh
He want to justify war in terms of making $ and using the Muslim terrorist label. Problem is america is too war hungry. Wasting lives and soldiers returning injured for no reason

Stop interfering and disturbing Muslim nation for americas benefit. America is just doing it wrong.

Google and other cats really needs to start making a play here. Internet is key to all the services provided. Only reason most people still deal w/ Comcast, TW, Verizon Fios, etc. is for the internet.

 

[everysingletime]

From what I read, it's normal for there to be a lot of turnover during a presidential transition. However, normal protocol is usually for old heads to stay on and train the new dudes before leaving. This time around, they just up and left

You should go read up on the rise of Hitler....and Authoritarians/Facist/Dictators.

Very interesting read.

One of the first steps they ALL have in common is to stifle dissent and discredit the media.

It's pretty interesting watching that happen before our eyes.

A whole segment of this country believes and only believes the words that come out of Trump or Fox News mouth.

Think about that for a second.....

Not to mention what Trump did to silence the EPA yesterday. You seem reasonable. Just uninformed. Hope you learn a few things today.

If Trump was a fascist, why would he pass a federal law allowing the people he wants to rule over to carry arms?

I don't think fascists arm their public. They do the exact opposite.

 

[3am scholar]

So the #AltReich banned government scientists and will screen research with his team of puesdo scientists who believe in creationism...kys We have Trump supressing the public of scientific knowledge. How Did his supporters try to spin this one.

If you can't beat them with science, shut them up. [emoji]129300[/emoji]

White nationalism like having more guns around because their supporters are disproportionately armed. Guns are much more popular with white people than other races.

The second guns become popular with people of color, watch the rhetoric flip.

Do you even know that those Cali gun laws you hate so much, started because black people started to arm themselves. Conservatives and the NRA pushed it through too. Imagine that.

Trump’s First Days Keep Dreamers in Immigration Limbo

Few groups face more uncertain fate under President Trump than the Dreamers, the 750,000 immigrants granted work permits and temporary residency since 2012 under Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Trump campaigned on ending DACA, and though he seemed to soften his stance slightly post-election—“We’re going to work something out that’s going to make people happy and proud,” he told TIME in December—his spree of Obama-undoing executive orders in recent days has provided little comfort for those whose legal status rides on the program.

Trump, himself, articulated some sympathy for their position (and perhaps an odd disregard of his own power) in that same interview, telling TIME: “They got brought here at a very young age, they’ve worked here, they’ve gone to school here. Some were good students. Some have wonderful jobs. And they’re in never-never land because they don’t know what’s going to happen.”

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer did not make Trump’s intentions much clearer. When asked about the fate of the program, Spicer said the president’s first immigration priority is to deal with those who are in the country illegally and have a criminal record (i.e not the Dreamers, who have all undergone rigorous background checks). But, he added, “Then we're going to continue to work through the entire number of folks that are here illegally.”

There’s a bipartisan effort in both houses to address the uncertainty with legislation—the Ban Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow Our Economy, or BRIDGE, Act—that would protect DACA beneficiaries until more comprehensive immigration reform is achieved.

As the BRIDGE bill’s name suggests, there’s a strong business case for keeping Dreamers in the U.S, according to recent studies. The non-partisan Migration Policy Institute has found that work authorization provided by deferred action boosts a workers’ household income, on average, by 10%.

But such measures also boost the fortunes of those around them. Immigrants' gains in wages and productivity greatly benefit the broader economy, according to work from the left-leaning Center for American Progress. Its research, led by a professor at the University of California-San Diego, estimates ending DACA would cost the country $433 billion in growth over 10 years, including an annual $11 billion hit to California alone. Other states with large Dreamer populations—including Texas, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina and Washington—stand to lose more than $1 billion in GDP per year.

The Immigration Legal Resource Center, meanwhile, estimated in December that ending DACA—and theoretically removing hundreds of thousands of Dreamers from jobs—would cost American employers at least $3.4 billion in terms of turnover and hiring expenses and reduce social security and Medicare tax contributions by $24.6 billion (half of which would have been paid by employers).
For now, those losses are merely hypotheticals. As of Tuesday, US Citizenship and Immigration Services continued to accept and process DACA requests.

Dude is in for a doozy once he reads about how those racist white police in Cali were tripping and violating the open carry laws for black panthers.


"The law, a response to the Black Panthers' conspicuous exercise of the right to armed self-defense, also was supported by Gov. Ronald Reagan." As the bill's conservative sponsor, Don Mulford (R), argued in 1989, "openly carrying a gun is an 'act of violence or near violence"


The damn Mulford act of 67'

Got damn Reagan

Republicans only support gun control when minorities legally have guns....
