Quote:What does this even mean? The President is in charge of the Executive Branch. As such, he is responsible for carrying out laws passed by Congress, such as the Clean Air Act.
I just finished watching an interview with a known left-leaning producer/filmmaker and he said something very interesting; that all this is merely a distraction to the real action going on behind the scenes.
He said, that while the media focuses in on Trump's little side show; he, Bannon and company are slowly dismantling the democratic process with mass changes in rules and regs in various federal departments.
In order to do this, agencies - empowered with the ability to write laws ("regulations") of their own are set into motion. There is nothing INHERENTLY "democratic" about rules and regs ... no elected body to appeal to. Now, before regulations are set in place, there ARE public hearings. These hearings are designed to SLOW UP the imposition of regulations. Does the author mean that public hearings are no longer being held? That rules and regs, duly authorized by Congress and the President, are either being wiped out or not being enforced?
I hate to say it, but that simply reflects the one-way, biased nature of rule-making and rule-enforcement. Business has had such a stranglehold on rule development that the path towards delaying, blunting, or setting aside rules and regs is a well-worn path. The process of responding to concerned-citizen groups is much less certain, and requires a specific lawsuit from an interest group: NRDC, EDF, PPNA, ACLU etc. It's always been about money, and it's not about Trump.

Let's take a look at the link, shall we?
" On March 28, a small fight occurred between Antifa members and supporters of the US President during a rally in Seaside Heights (Ocean County). Because of advance publicity about the event on social media, local and state law enforcement officers were able to keep altercations to a minimum."
"Supporters of the US president?" While it's true that all Nazis support Herr Cheeto, it wasn't just "Trump supporters."
It was Nazis, several of whom stabbed people.
See? That's your problem. You believe what you want to believe, but lack the intellect to understand facts. That's why you support and defend Nazis.

Quote:Wrong, Signym. It is about Trump. This President's people write the rules. The President's people will eventually be hired by the industries they rule over. Trump's people are being very kind and loving to those industries now. When they leave government, Trump's people will be paid back for their government service to industries and banks:

US president Donald Trump’s push to revise rules on banker bonuses is just one of the many steps his administration is taking toward revising regulations that were designed to prevent another financial meltdown. From rules on banks’ trading desks to remuneration, such rollbacks could finally give Wall Street a reason to cheer after other parts of Trump’s agenda have stumbled.
Several agencies are reviewing restrictions on banks making speculative trading bets with the benefit of customer money, known as the Volcker rule, according to the Wall Street Journal. A requirement for brokers to put customer interests ahead of their own may also be delayed for 18 months (financial firms say the overhaul could open them up to a deluge of lawsuits). And a 500-page regulation that would restrict Wall Street bonuses is probably dead.
Many of the regulations are part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which was passed by the Obama administration in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. . . .
A heavy legislative rewrite of financial rules seems unlikely, given the federal government’s inability to rework other controversial issues like health care. But agencies and regulators have some scope to water down financial regulations by altering how they’re implemented. This time, Wall Street could actually get some of what it wants.

Show me one example of how Barack Obama was any better for the working class.
Nope... not about Trump. At least not specifically. It's all about the power elite as a group and a class.
Same old shit, different figurehead.

Just look at the pics of the Alt right Nazis who showed up to Charlottesville.
Typically, they are young, 20-30-somethings. They all dress and look alike. They are weak individually, but feel strong when marching together with their tiki torches. The majority have never successfully dated or had consensual sex with any woman. They don't have girlfriends or active social lives.
They don't have any friends except for their fellow Nazis, most of whom they only know online. Many of them have sex with each other, but keep it “on the down low.”
They don't have college degrees or good jobs. Their IQs are just below average (like police). They didn't do well in school and never made a lot of friends. They are loners, except for when they get together to terrorize communites.
They're the same types who skinheads recruit: Lonely, immature boys who aren't very bright and feel alienated. The Nazi cult pays attention to them and makes them feel special, like they're part of something. They finally feel important.
Half of them would quit tomorrow if a woman would just sleep with them. But, they hate women so much, that will never happen. Those women would sleep with a black man before they'd sleep with a racist. This makes the lonely Nazis even angrier.

Quote:Have you seen the movie Hell or High Water ? Chris Pine plays a Texas bank robber. Unlike you and millions of other Americans, he’s not gonna wait for Washington DC to rescue him from his money troubles.

At the end of the movie, retired Texas Ranger Jeff Bridges has a strong suspicion that Chris Pines is the bank robber he was hunting before he retired. Chris Pines gives him a little speech on the front porch of the Pine ranch, confirming the suspicion: “I've been poor my whole life. So were my parents, their parents before them. It's like a disease… passing from generation to generation, becomes a sickness. That's what it is. Infects every person you know...but not my boys. Not anymore.”
I could explain how Chris Pines can get the money he needs to stop foreclosure on his oil producing West Texas property from the well drillers. I could give Chris Pines lessons on how to negotiate with the power elite, but it is wasted on boneheads. Pines already knew how to rob and kill bank tellers so he stayed with what he knew. He could also have done nothing, just waited for his money to run out and the bank to foreclose, but then there wouldn’t be a movie. Nobody is interested in that particularly movie about doing nothing but whining about how unfair the powerful are. It’s an on-going movie starring millions of Americans.
6stringJoker, Washington DC will not come to your rescue. The Republicans would never allow it. You don’t have to take Chris Pines’ example, either, and rob banks. Be smarter than a movie antihero. Be smarter than the typical poor person doing nothing but waiting for death. There is some middle ground between waiting for help that can never come because of Republicans and going on a bank robbery/murder rampage. I hope you are energetic enough to find that middle ground and stop blaming Democrats for not bringing another New Deal, eighty-five years after the previous New Deal. Or at least blame Republicans for no more New Deals.
