Trump made another reference to his electoral college win in the press conference with Justin Trudeau in response to a question about the Canadian border. Ugh.

Hehe. Let’s hope Justin can live up to his father’s legacy. If he survives the visit with Trump, then that’s a good start.

I know this doesn’t add anything positive to the Trump bashing but there’s this happening. Maybe at least the discussion will be enlightening at some level.

There have not been “revelations” about illegal voting practices, only wild unsubstantiated claims presented as fact multiple times by the Trump Administration.

Judicial Watch conducted a special educational panel on Tuesday, December 6, from 11 a.m. until 12 noon to discuss “The First 100 Days – The Anti-Corruption Agenda.” Expert panelists offer specific recommendations to the incoming Trump administration for rolling back corruption and ushering in a new era of transparency in the areas: Freedom of Information Act reform, election fraud, pay-for-play politics, IRS targeting, immigration and border enforcement, executive order overreach, and more.
Hahahahahaha. I guess he didn’t get the message. Or maybe they suggested the message that he’s using, I don’t know which side they’re on 'cause I’m not watching it.

On 5 February 2017, American-born NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) scientist Sidd Bikkannavar published a Facebook post asserting that he was detained by United States Customs & Border Protection (CBP) officials while he was returning to the U.S. from Chile, who seized his phone and demanded access to its stored data/

So, in other words, they are probably more trustworthy than either Trump or Clinton, got it.

From the article…
Many who do not file tax returns still have taxes deducted from their pay checks. Out of that $11.64 billion total, undocumented immigrants pay $6.9 billion in sales and excise taxes, $3.6 billion in property taxes and about $1.1 billion in personal income taxes. ITEP estimated that if America’s 11 million undocumented immigrants were granted citizenship allowing them to work legally, current state and tax contributions would be boosted by over $2.1 billion a year.
How do they get taxes deducted from illegal pay checks? How do fill out tax withholdings forms without a social security number? Also aren’t a lot paychecks to illegal immigrants done under the table, via cash?
I have no problem believing state and tax contriibutions would be boosted by a lot if they were legalized.

So then Judicial Watch is at least more trustworthy than Trump and Clinton. Good to know. I was going to watch the broadcast anyways. Thanks for the links.

Well I guess Trump isn’t the big defender of the LGBT community he claimed to be after all.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/11/us/politics/trump-transgender-students-injunction.html
A nationwide injunction that has kept transgender students from using school bathrooms and other facilities that correspond with their gender identity will remain in place after the Trump administration decided not to challenge it in court. The move, announced Friday, ended an effort mounted by the Obama administration after the order was announced last year.

That’s really unfortunate and disturbing if true. Someone forgot to tell them JPL and NASA are on our side? Although this picture makes me wonder what they might be working on these days…
That’s no NASA meatball! That’s a space station! 😉

According to The Street’s Brian Sozzi, that’s a $3,755 club that was gifted to Trump by Abe. Standard protocol is for gifts given to the president of the United States to be hustled off to the National Archive, so it’s a little strange to see Trump swinging one around like it was a Christmas present.
One explanation for this might be that Abe actually sent the gift back in November, before Trump was actually president. Another explanation is that Donald Trump is a bird-brained oaf who is obsessed with shiny things and hasn’t stopped thinking about that club since the moment he received it.

a draft executive order restricting the use of public benefits by legal immigrants would be a dramatic change. The draft shows that the Trump administration is considering changes that could potentially shake Philadelphia’s universal-access food-service system to its core, imposing penalties on the families of students who use free and reduced-price lunch.
The exact implications of Trump’s draft executive order are “really unclear,” said Kathy Fisher of the Coalition Against Hunger. “In terms of the school lunch [program], I’m unclear how that would work out.”
But the draft order is clear in its intent, Fisher said.
“The way this is written, even using school meals would count against the family,” she said.
The order states that any “aliens,” whether documented or not, may be considered “inadmissible or deportable” if they use any benefit “for which eligibility or amount is determined in any way on the basis of income, resources, or financial need.” Legal immigrants could face deportation, and their sponsors could be forced to repay the cost of the benefits.
