[Delightful](https://abcnews.go.com/US/cdc-asks-researchers-assess-projects-align-trump-administration/story?id=119618340) > CDC-funded researchers were asked whether their research would help combat “Christian persecution,” defend women and children against “gender ideology extremism” or help curb illegal immigration. They were also surveyed about whether their research included any diversity or climate change initiatives … But, the next paragraph is even better > On Friday, the agency clarified that the survey was only applicable to CDC partners **doing work outside the United States**. Why stop at the border? ---

Trump said he’s doubling the tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel to 50 percent. It really goes with his psyche in doubling down on his positions but nevertheless I feel the outrage! ---

I keep seeing reports of how much time since his inauguration he has spent at Mar-A-Lago. Isn’t the president required to live in the White House so that he is available to perform his official duties, such as attend briefings? Does his staff have to go to Mar-A-Lago to brief him (presumably at taxpayer expense, not to mention what he probably charges the government if they have to stay there)? ---

A half dozen presidents before Trump lived elsewhere, though usually it was because the White House was under renovations, and it was just temporary in each case. (Of course George Washington never lived there but he didn’t have a chance to since it wasn’t finished before he left office, so I’m not considering him.) Trump on the other hand just doesn’t give a shit about things like propriety and tradition, as you’d expect. And as pointed out in this article: > **[Does the U.S. President Have to Live in the White House?](https://people.howstuffworks.com/does-the-us-president-have-live-the-white-house.htm)** > > After all, every president who could have lived there has, but is it mandatory? > But it’s not as if the president of the United States _has_ to live in the White House. No law requires it. Although with everything there, and a commute like that — the West Wing is a few steps from the main residence — the live-work-play setup has thus far proven impossible to turn down. Again, that’s before Trump. ---

Of course, considering the hypocrisy of Trump’s recent declarations against the concept of “work from home”, particularly accusing that employees who do so are spending their time playing golf, the time he spends away from the White House is yet another reason (as if we need one) to be pissed at him. ---

Trump’s golfing doesn’t bother me; it’s probably where he can do the least damage. Every minute he’s on a golf course is a minute he’s not fucking up the country. ---

Dammit. He did sneak in a presidential message about St. Patrick’s Day to [whitehouse.gov](http://whitehouse.gov) Felon47 / lackey: > Legend holds that Saint Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the mystery of the Holy Trinity to Irish **unbelievers** and during 40 days of fasting, **exiled all snakes and demons** lurking on the Emerald Isle into the sea. unbelievers? Pagans? Celts? Those who like have hadn’t been sold into slavery? Those who hold bibles upside down and never attend Church like Felon? The snakes and demons (actually never heard that one) bit is not even legend. It’s just patently false. He never claimed it and there never were any snakes in Ireland ( separation from mainland Europe after the Ice Age made it impossible for snakes to naturally migrate there.). Many historians believe the _snakes_ represent pagan religions and druids, which St. Patrick helped replace with Christianity in the 5th century. And two “statements” above celebrating Andrew Jackson and there’s your roadmap for clearing Gaza - and if they get in the way - the native Inuit and Scandinavians in Greenland. Was this statement VP “shamrock socks” homework? [[Album] imgur.com ![](https://i.imgur.com/kHCu9nT.png?fb "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/a/E1Mjcxz) ---
