My body is ready for the anti-war protests to start up again now that it's allowed.

It is a good point that supposed peace activists let Obama get away with murder.

Alternative facts? :laughing::rofl:

Quote:

White House press secretary Sean Spicer's false claims about the size of the crowd at President Donald Trump's inauguration were "alternative facts," a top Trump aide said Sunday.

In an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," host Chuck Todd pressed Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway about why the White House on Saturday had sent Spicer to the briefing podium for the first time to claim that "this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period."

"You're saying it's a falsehood. And they're giving -- Sean Spicer, our press secretary -- gave alternative facts," she said.

Todd responded: "Alternative facts aren't facts, they are falsehoods."

Conway then tried to pivot to policy points. But later in the interview, Todd pressed Conway again on why the White House sent Spicer out to make false claims about crowd size, asking: "What was the motive to have this ridiculous litigation of crowd size?"

"Your job is not to call things ridiculous that are said by our press secretary and our president. That's not your job," Conway said.
Todd followed up: "Can you please answer the question? Why did he do this? You have not answered it -- it's only one question."

Conway said: "I'll answer it this way: Think about what you just said to your viewers. That's why we feel compelled to go out and clear the air and put alternative facts out there."

By far the lamest Trump/media battle to date (I'm counting this and the dress shops quote as the same thing). How many people the president said were at his inauguration is going to have zero effect on policy, something that is actually relevant now (since Trump was avoidant any other time policy came up). I hope the day comes where they both learn to pick their battles. Freaking out over pointless things like this adds more noise to the picture and makes it easier to ignore it when there's a legitimate reason to freak out.

Holy **** you two agreed on something, though I suspect any subsequent posts will reveal that this is in fact an illusion and ****posting will ensue.

Anti war protests will start up because there is a proposal to increase the defense budget mostly just to get more ships, jets and tanks. While making sure they cut safety net programs because **** poor people right. Why don't they just get better jobs and go to college to get degrees.

Pretty much any Supreme Court pick is going to be protested.

I predict that Trump is going to make a lot more decisions that will please democrats and piss off republicans than you would expect.
