    Oh, but don't you know, its all activist liberal courts creating laws and why we need trump's conservative republican judges?

    Since the congress has refused to step up, its up to the judicial branch to protect America and provide needed checks and balances as called out by our founding fathers...

    The worst part isn't what they're rolling back. The worst thing is the precedent they're creating. Currently you can only roll back rules that were passed within a relatively recent timeframe. They're using an arcane interpretation of the law to roll back rules from several years ago. Effectively, this gives Congress a way (without a filibuster) to repeal any regulation it wants. Basically, the president's rulemaking authority is obliterated with this. Awful, awful precedent.

    Nice video (posted by Macron to his facebook page) of macron being shown the Oval Office by trump. Who was a very gracious host. But if you listen carefully, trump expresses surprise that President Macron had not be in the Oval Office before. Macron became President of France in May 2017. After trump became president. You'd think trump would have known whether Macron had visited the WH before...

    But again, one of trump's better performances...

    You would think the Feds would just take the AOSP and just modify it down to the kernel level for security, scrap google certification (since that probably has requirements that violate security requirements) and work with app developers to create custom versions of apps like Twitter that meet government security requirements. I'm sure Trump doesn't use that many apps. At this point, its better to just work with what he likes to use and create a secure version of it.
