Trump’s WhiteHouse.Gov Disappears Civil Rights, Climate Change, LGBT Rights
WhiteHouse.gov immediately wiped pages on LGBT rights, civil rights, climate change, and health care from its “issues” section after Donald Trump took the oath of office.
Below are my favorites from the article:
The page on climate change was replaced with a page entitled “An America First Energy Plan” that ignores climate change entirely and says, “President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule.”
The page on civil rights was replaced with a page entitled “Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community” that replaces concerns with how police act with a demand for more cops. It also paints predominantly black inner cities as shooting galleries.
“In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent,” the page claims, which is false: homicides in Washington, D.C. were down in 2016 over 2015.
I don’t know if one could actually say the pages were “replaced.” The old were taken down and the new were added…but it does show that Trump is wasting little time in his quest to blow up America.
Anybody that doesn’t believe in global warming in denial of scientific fact. In the suburbs outside of Chicago right now it’s 47°F and rising, 54°F expected high. In the middle of January.
Dark days are here again as the winter evenings grow.

yeah, we’re feeling it here at our house.
before i digress: ELO is taking the whole thing personal, she don’t care about the loot (Dylan reference). ELO is taking it very personal. it’s as if I don’t feel bad enough to suit her.
I’m as disappointed as anyone. I’m as surprised, disgusted, disillusioned and sometimes dissolute as anyone.
i’m not going to take the weather personal. this isn’t a comment on the weather change. i don’t have to prove to anyone how much i loathe everything and everyone on the other side of the aisle. i’m as down with this as anyone.
but, we lost.
i’m 100% confident that there will be AMPLE opportunities to gloat. it won’t be long. soon, you won’t be able to find anyone who voted for him. it will turn into a whole bunch of “I never said WHO i was voting for, i just said fill in the blank.”
i’m not nearly as eloquent as i think i am when i’m in the bag’o’babylon so i should stop since i’ve said it. i think the trumpeters are going to be a big fail.
will we be able to recover? mother earth, the democratic party and long haired hippie type pinkoes are as resilient as cockeroaches. we will take this mother back and hopefully spark up in celebration.
or i’m not the jimithemotherfukcingsaint.
cool out for a few days and then get ready to enjoy the preparation for 2020.

I’m really hoping for a modern Watergate. Like in the next couple of minutes.
