List the Accomplishments

Only fair to list the new admins accomplishments.

1. Change WH website to pretend that climate change does not exist.
2. Change WH website to make it clear that you will not defend the rights of gay Americans.
3 get Melania's jewelry line on WH website.
4. Sign executive order making it more difficult for low income people to buy a home.
5 sign EO that says something vague about the ACA.
6 make promises you can't keep in inaugural address (like I will end radical Islam)


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: List the Accomplishments

As noted in another thread, language about climate change and LGBT rights could end up back on the White House website.

All content, with the exception of historical information about the White House, was erased from the site while new content is being created.

That said, here's an extremely fu&ked up story to come out of the Trump administration on its first day.

They have banned the National Park Service from tweeting because it retweeted pictures of the Mall yesterday versus the Mall in 2009

Right out of the authoritarian playbook.
Don't allow any information that does not show you as all powerful and all popular.

And mind you, the NPS uses Twitter has part of its crisis communication plan for park visitors.

So the Trump administration is not just being petty, they are theoretically putting lives at risk.

What's a few peasant lives compared to the risk of The Dear Leader losing face?
Besides, what's the government doing trying to keep people safe in the first place?

Gold curtains aren't my cup of coffee, but I wouldn't classify them as gaudy.

How about 'garish' then?

It appears the stopping of tweeting from the NPS had nothing to do with the new administration, but was from an Interior Department career official.  Here is a story from ABC News:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/interior-department-reactivates-twitter-accounts-temporary-ban/story?id=44949032

From the article:

The email urging the shutdown was sent by an Interior Department career official, not a new White House staffer or someone from the Trump transition team, according to an Interior Department official.
