The Trump Presidency
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/amer...trump-150013365.html

Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, said President Donald Trump "may stop enforcing the individual mandate."

"For the 20 million who rely upon the Affordable Care Act in some form, they will not be without coverage during this transition time," she said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," reiterated Republican promises to replace Obamacare and allow patients to buy health insurance across state lines using health savings accounts.

" We’re going to move carefully in conjunction with the administration to repeal and replace it with things like health savings accounts and interstate health insurance sales and high-risk pools at the state level to take care of people who have pre-existing conditions." he said.

************************

I suspect that as Trump executes his agenda, we are going to see civil unrest and political attacks that will rival anything over the last 50 (maybe 150) years. We will all need to give whatever support we can to the Trump administration and all lawmakers who enable that agenda.

PBS has time lapse video that is clearly missing frames when you compare it to CNN's Gigapixel photo. Seems to be very clear that the media is distorting crowd size.
Problem still remains, Obama did have a larger crowd in Washington DC.

Problem with getting into crowd size comparisons is conservatives tend to have less spare time on our hands to attend these sort of events, work often seems to get in the way.

It is important to maintain credibility, I think we took a hit here.
The press conference was ill thought out for Inaguration day as it changed the focus of the day and the first weekend of talking heads.

Amen, doesn't matter if one person showed up. Trump is still president.


Exactly, Inaugural crowd size ranks right up there with the popular vote in importance.

Is it any shock that BHO's had a bigger crowd 8 years ago? Like it, him, or not he was the first black President and people who would never normally go attended.

Remember all of those people that were so excited that BHO was going to pay all of their bills, their rent, give them free phones, a free college education, etc etc... I'm guessing that none one expeciting free shit was there on Friday. Shocked I tell you

To the contrary, kimber1911. The press conference accomplished exactly what it was intended to accomplish. The MSM has been put on notice.

Furthermore:

  • The MSM (CNN, PBS) did objectively and provably lie about crowd size. Just look at the photos. The real photos, not the Obama full crowd v.s. the Trump crowd-is-just-forming photo, but the Obama full crowd photo v.s. the CNN megapixel Trump full crowd photo. The fact is that the MSM lied again, attempted to foist fake news on us.

  • The MLK bust was NOT removed. The fact is that the MSM lied again, attempted to foist fake news on us.

  • The MSM is now on notice that this bullshit will not be tolerated, will be pointed out in no uncertain terms directly to the voters. The MSM no longer controls the narrative. Fact will rule the day.


  • Thanks,

    If I were Trump. I would instruct Spicer to go to the Press Room podium each day, give the "journalists" the finger, and then leave and go give Chris Wallace a personal interview each day.

    Nah much simpler than that. Simply install subway turnstiles that only accept 50 dollar bills at the door way to the press briefing room.

    I do not blame President Trump for jousting with the press. But, I think he should just let the petty stuff like crowd size go. There are, and will be, much more important stuff to fight about.

    Never show weakness. Let nothing go. If you give an inch they will never stop taking.

    Remember how GWB was a passive punching bag for the press? He would never respond. It was beneath his dignity. How did that work out? We got Obama.




    God Bless and Protect our Beloved President, Donald John Trump.

    Time to hit the ground running! Also the WH briefing with the Press Secretary is set for 1:30 PM EST - should be interesting after the thrashing he administered Saturday Big Grin

    I see your point. It is just so exhausting.

    I confess. Didn't know what "bicameral" meant.

    bicameral: having two branches or chambers.

    So Trump will meet tomorrow w leadership of Senate & House

    Kellyanne Conway said Sean Spicer provided "Alrenative Facts".

    I am not OK with alternative facts or falshoods from either Government spokesman or the media.

    I am tired of the false reporting from the media.
    The Trump administration should be better than this.

    But, what if the alternative facts are true??
