- ^ that's exactly the attitude that got him elected, actually. *sighvero_vandal
- the classic GOP didn't, but is now forced to like Trump. say what you want about it, he's telling both sides to fuck off.vero_vandal
- it's also this attitude that made the election so close, and not an easy win, and it's why his transition isn't looking so smoothmonospaced
- he cannot shut his mouth, otherwise the transition would be much smoother. he acts like a 3rd grader at times.vero_vandal
- that is true, and that fuels the attitude as well, because it seems like only a 3rd grader could have voted for himmonospaced

- I mean, when the elect is tweeting like a butthurt 3rd grader and "telling both sides to fuck off," it makes his supporters look stupid for voting for him.monospaced
- ^ there is definitely some truth in that. voter remorse is a funny thing, but the proof is in the pudding. if he helps the economy, most could care less of it.vero_vandal
- and whether it's him or just the cyclical nature of economies rising and falling (with him taking credit). perception is reality in this country.vero_vandal
- there's also that "politically correct" crap, that most of his voters cannot stand. unrealistic rubbishvero_vandal
- that's the real issue. very few voted for his policies - how could they? There aren't any. This is an anti PC, anti-liberal protest.Fax_Benson
- Other than obamacare, Trump fans here don't discuss policy. The issues are BLM, abortion, gender, feminism, white disenfranchisement...Fax_Benson
- .. a temporary roadblock on the deep state highway. A few genuinely think he's an economic saviour. Most see him as a vehicle for something else.Fax_Benson
- Thing that kills me about all this is our economy is fine. Coal, steel are the past, manufacturing will come back for things like solar and electronics...allthethings
- What's messed up is that wages haven't risen. The only thing I agree with Trump on the economy is infrastructure. Obama wanted more of it as the stimulus, whichallthethings
- was the right call. GOP don't want that...they want taxes and regs cut for super-rich people. You can say Trump is telling both to fuck off, but he will signallthethings
- off on all the things the GOP cares about. False equivalency to say he's an equal opportunity bomb thrower.allthethings
- that might be the case, but the rhetoric is what got him in, I mean the hatred from Romney, Bushes, former Conservatives, etc. was real. LMFAO!vero_vandal
- they ALL voted for fucking Hillary! WTFvero_vandal
- they were voting for a more qualified candidate who didn't have a decades long history of acting like a 3rd gradermonospaced

Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda
Written by a group of Congressional staffers who witnessed the rise of the Tea Party first-hand, it lays out a number of practical ways progressive activists and lawmakers can defend the incremental gains of the Obama era using Tea Party tactics, minus the physical intimidation and rabid racism.

Trump Moves Closer To Gutting Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Watchdog
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/en…... Trump met with former Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) on Wednesday and is considering Neugebauer to run the CFPB, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer confirmed on a Thursday call with reporters.
A source close to the transition team told HuffPost that Neugebauer has yet to be offered the job, but that no other candidates are being looked at yet. HuffPost previously reported that Neugebauer’s name was being floated as agency chief if Trump decides to fire the current director, Richard Cordray.
When he was in Congress, Neugebauer opposed CFPB actions like the first-ever federal rule cracking down on payday loans. He labeled the agency’s effort to require payday lenders to take basic steps to ensure consumers can pay back their loans and not get trapped in a cycle of debt as a “paternalistic erosion of consumer product choices.” He introduced a bill to overhaul and weaken the agency.
...the CFPB has returned $12 billion to 27 million people caught up in various scams, passed pro-consumer rules on issues like mortgage disclosure, proposed a mandatory arbitration rule that is being finalized, and hit banks for conning customers into paying for expensive add-on products that don’t do much. The agency was central in exposing the large-scale checking and credit card fraud at Wells Fargo.
So much for economic populism.
- Wow Buddahat you didn't read the article did you??? He's not gutting the CFPB, he wants it to create better policies for the consumer.robotron3k
- Yes I did, and you are full of gigantic quantities of shit, robotard. He wants to make it better the same way Paul Ryan wants to make healthcare better for...BuddhaHat
- .. poor bastards like the dude with cancer that questioned him at the town hall. Paul Ryan would rather let him die, and Neugebauer would rather let business...BuddhaHat
- bend you over and go in dry.BuddhaHat
- they should dismantle the CFPB not change who runs it. Where did the majority of the 12 billion come from? It's a joke. Fake police. And lets thank it wasdeathboy

Wyoming Bill Would All But Outlaw Clean Energy by Preventing Utilities From Using It
A new measure submitted to the Wyoming legislature this week would forbid utilities from providing any electricity to the state that comes from large-scale wind or solar energy projects by 2019. The bill's nine sponsors, two state senators and seven representatives, largely come from Wyoming's top coal-producing counties and include some deniers of man-made climate change.
"I haven't seen anything like this before," Shannon Anderson, director of the local organizing group Powder River Basin Resource Council, told InsideClimate News. "This is essentially a reverse renewable energy standard."
