Breastfeeding is natural, smart and healthy. So of course the Trump Administration is opposed to it: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/08/politics/world-health-assembly-breastfeeding/index.html
You left out breastfeeding’s worst defect: it’s cheap.
This. Their industrial foods buddies can’t sell formula to parents who are breastfeeding.
It may go deeper than mere money. Trump may have…um…issues…on the topic.
No, I feel that Trump is deluding himself and thinks he’s using Putin. He isn’t smart enough to figure out that Putin is using him.
Freud would have a field day with that reaction. It does put the knock on the idea that Trump is a two-year-old in a suit, though.
I am FUMING at this! I’ve been working on things to do with breastfeeding, and heard the radio this morning quoting some in the milk bank community I know on this. I cannot believe that a.) Trump did this, and b.) that there isn’t more resistance from within. For cryin’ out loud – Trump can’t stop breastfeeding or break up families at the border himself. There are too many people unwilling to take a principled stand against things that are obviously wrong.
More pardons. This time for firestarters our west.
Yep. This really pisses me off. There is zero reason for this. Except he’s I’m sure making some rich donor happy.
Shit. Those assholes got the minimum of 5 years. They started fires to cover up their poaching. They should have gotten MORE time. And then the other assholes took over the bird sanctuary in protest.
Currently in Colorado there are 14 wildfires. I nearly bugged out because of one.
Nothing to do with rich donors and has all to do with the Bundy wing of the Party.
Or perhaps a rich donor that supports the Bundy wing. I doubt trump knows or cares anything about this.
I doubt that trump has been stewing about the ‘poor’ plight of these ranchers. Someone brought it to his attention, and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that someone will be making a campaign contribution.
Or perhaps it is just to garner votes from the assholes that support these yahoos. But I very much doubt he came up with this all by his lonesome.
What’s he doing issuing pardons? Didn’t I just hear him bellowing “We have laws”?
Yes, the pardons will please the Bundy wing.
They also send a very important message. Trump would benefit greatly if some gub’ment-hating person or persons committed crimes that would remove Robert Mueller, or others important in ongoing investigations of Trump (at the state as well as federal levels).
These new pardons tell such persons that they could very well hope for a pardon from their grateful President.
Wonder if Mueller has at least a few FBI guys tag along with him. Better than nothing.
He’s a former US Attorney, former Deputy USAG, and former FBI director. If he doesn’t already have a personal security protocol established (bodyguards, undercarriage check, etc) I’d be very surprised.
and more important, it doesn’t put money in HIS pockets
Only against children and brown people.
Trump blasts our allies once more at the outset of a NATO summit: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/10/politics/donald-trump-nato-summit-2018/index.html
This deserves its own thread if not its own forum. Donald says Germany is totally controlled by Russia. This before he goes to Russia himself to get his marching orders. Sad!
I literally laughed out loud when I heard this.
