When the D's do something similar under the next president, the R's shouldn't bitch.. they've set this in motion.

The Ds damn well better not do it. This is bullshit.

If this doesn't prompt a whole bunch of corrective measures that reign in executive power, we'll have learned nothing.

Meantime, I have to salute the brilliance of the Daily Caller: Under Obama, NASA Loses A Planet. Under Trump, NASA Finds Seven In One Month. They don't have to own what the headline says because the body of the story cites the joke tweet, but they also know that most people don't read past the headline.

LOL, yeah like he won't be claiming credit for that.

For all we know, America First! means replacing everyone at NASA with scientists willing to look for new planets here at home.

A vote for failing Hillary Clinton looks even better as every day passes.

I'm not sure how Maggie Haberman is going to cope with talking with Baghdad Sean in the informal press gaggle. I'm sure the scoops will cease now that they have taken away this privilege.

good point Entropy. Is fascism only a right-wing phenomenon?

Certainly, the progs use it that way. IMO, Conservatives use it to mean statism in all its forms.

[Wild Hoss]

I remember from college that facism was on the Right spectrum, opposite of Communism on the far Left. That was before google...a long time before unfortunately, lol.
