> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Sarah Huckabee tweeted yesterday, about the rights marches that were part of the Gay Pride marches, “One demands safe spaces when they get offended. The other risks life and limb to keep those spaces safe.” > Next to side by side pictures of a man wearing a pink pussy hat and a soldier in combat. The fun part is that you can swap out the picture of the man in the pink hat with one of Donald Trump and it still works. ---

Trump is awful for this country, but the slow motion train wreck of his administration is a wonder to behold. I dispute the slow motion part. This is going much faster than Watergate. Will Melania even be unpacked before it’s off to either NY or Leavenworth? ---

So now, apparently, Trump is going to Miami to announce that he’s rolling back some aspects of our new improved relationship with Cuba. :rolleyes: This is what pisses me off the most (OK, it’s in a 12-way tie for first place) about Republicans: the secret agenda. Did anyone campaign on worsened relations with Cuba? Rolling back Dodd-Frank? Shrinking national monuments? Shooting hibernating bears from helicopters? Hell, no. How do they get away with this shit? ---

How do they get away with this shit? Not sure about Cuba or the other stuff, but I remember repealing Dodd-Frank being a campaign promise of Trump’s. As muddled as his other promises, but he did say it.

Do the majority of Americans think there are too many National Monuments? Where do these ideas even come from? Trump campaigned on a platform of ‘everything Obama did needs to be undone’ - as well as “if a democrat likes it , well, I hates it”. If anything falls into those two categories - its going to suffer. ---
