BETSY DEVOS, TRUMP’S BIG-DONOR EDUCATION SECRETARY

Trump to scrap Nasa climate research in crackdown on ‘politicized science’

Trump's infrastructure plan is a bunch of tax breaks, not actual projects https://www.google.com/amp/www.cbsnews.com/...android-verizon

Trump to nominate Georgia rep tom price for hhs. Price has been a strong Obamacare critic and has advocated for deregulation, tort reform (ie limiting doctor liability) and health savings accounts as the fix to our broken health care system. https://www.google.com/amp/www.cnbc.com/amp...android-verizon Any republican plan will almost definitely gut the medicaid expansion, throwing millions back into the ranks of the uninsured.

The first episode of The Grand Tour (essentially the new version of Top Gear) was solid, but the second was pretty awful. Hopefully they're just finding their footing in the slightly new format.

I meant from the president on down

I was at one of the iberostar resorts for a wedding six years ago. It was the mid tier one and it was okay.

It's paranoid conspiracy nuts all the way down!

Dropped my Samsung s7 and shattered the back glass tonight. What a stupid design.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 01:11 PM) Trump nominates two prominent GOP women: DeVos as education secretary, Haley as U.N. ambassador. Betsy DeVos is a nightmare. Every pick Trump makes is worse than the one before it. H.L. Mencken comes to mind lately

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 23, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) I agree, it's a problem. But the media could collectively decide to cover the newsworthy components of what he does/says, not the bulls*** unimportant stuff. The problem is there's no money to be made from doing that. Re: the bolded, I don't think there's a lot, I think the media chooses to cover every small thing he does so it seems like a lot. When the top story of the day is Trump meeting with the New York Times and what happened during that meeting, including what he ate for lunch and when he took a piss, you know the media doesn't care about news, they care about the views they're going to get from the pissed of liberals and the excited conservatives. The NYT meeting was a long policy discussion though. That one doesn't really fit in the mold of bulls*** coverage.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) Tilq Tequila is just...WTF. Is she doin' this crap just for attention? She's doing all this crap with white nationalists and she's not even white! I'm pretty sure she has legitimate brain damage iirc

He also basically guaranteed that he's going to use the office for personal gain and pay to play. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...view/?tid=sm_Fb

TRUMP'S CHARITY ADMITS TO VIOLATING IRS SELF-DEALING BAN

I thought Alex Jones was more just bats*** conspiracy theorist in general than alt-right?

Sessions looks like a lock for confirmation Senate Democrats have no leverage to stop him unless Republicans defect. Sessions: Case of Central Park 5, later exonerated, shows Trump's dedication to 'law and order' But hey, don't call the man who kicked off his campaign with racism, doubled down on racism for 16 more months, and immediately started appointing the worst possible people to important positions after he won the election racist! That would be mean!

A Very Against All-Caps Mod

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 22, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) Who the F*** do you think they already interviewed for that position? Jerry Falwell Jr. I'm disappointed in you, usually you don't speculate on things that you could easily link. Anyway, yeah a person who teaches geology in Texas would have nothing to fear from this. Also met with Michelle Rhea who was the champion of the scam charter school movement until she failed repeatedly. http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/tra...-htmlstory.html

Puerto Rico is fantastic. I've been there twice including once for our wedding/honeymoon. The first time, we stayed here on the west side of the island. It was a little bit of a drive from San Juan, but there was plenty to do in the area(s) around there. Our wedding was at the Marriott in San Juan. I'd definitely check out Old San Juan and the old Spanish fort if you go. Our honeymoon was on Vieques at this hotel. You've got to take a little puddle jumper from San Juan to get here, but it's very secluded and minimally developed island with gorgeous, pristine beaches. One thing to keep in mind with any Caribbean or Central American travel right now though is Zika if you're thinking about having children.
