Degrees of discrimination are a states’ rights issue? How about human slavery?

“There’s no daylight between anybody, between the President, between any of the secretaries,” Spicer told reporters at his daily press briefing.

not surprising, really.

i mean, trump DOES fancy himself the next abraham lincoln (perhaps even more tremendously tremendous). and we all know that trump is very well read, and a student of history. because that’s what lincoln basically did – doris kearns goodwin even wrote a book about it: Team of Clones.

Trump: They both support transgender rights because both Devos and Sessions themselves are Transgender.

“Certain issues like this” are what many of us would call “civil rights,” and under the 14th Amendment civil rights are most definitely not something to be left to the states.

Who can we believe the least? Spicer, Priebus, or Trump?

”Sessions pressed DeVos to sign off on the order since he could not move forward without her consent.”

Maybe the first time in history a Republican ever waited for a woman’s consent.

For once I believe Spicer. The leak was done by Betsy DeVos to deflect the blame to Sessions.

The thing about being a billionaire donor is that you are always right and everybody loves you. So it must come as a shock to old Betsy that someone disagrees with her.

I think I’ll go with the NYT’s take.

So a racist, a bigot and a sexist walk into the White House.

Donald looks up and says, “Bannon, you’re back!”

Just accept that the White House will lie about every single report of discord within the Bannon administration in order to maintain their myths of a “well-oiled machine” and that media cannot be trusted.

You mean “finely tuned machine.” Lets keep to Donald’s actual delusion as expressed in his actual words. BTW, someone ought to point out to Donald Trump that he has what could be perceived as sort of a transgender hair situation.

“Let me make this clear. He opposes anything having to do with anything that’s L,G,B or T. She does, as well. Her position is that the alphabet now has only 22 letters, and he’s willing to back her up on that.”

Spicer: “You’ll have to take that up with the Labor Secretary.”

There’s not a lot of daylight to be had anywhere in this administration. Too many officials would shrivel up and burst into flame.

You’d think the way conservatives talk about transgender students that there are tens of thousands of them in every school district causing all kinds of turmoil.
