WH BRAVELY dismisses "special interests":
White House spokesman Sean Spicer shrugged off the building opposition from the medical establishment.
"We would love to have every group on board," Spicer said, adding, "This isn't about figuring out how many special interests in Washington we can get paid off. It's about making sure that patients get the best deal, that lowers prices and brings back cost."

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Drain the swamp haha. He put the white house IN the swamp:

Right now, Wall Street scams Americans out of up to $17 billion of their retirement savings every year.2 The Department of Labor had been poised to publish a “fiduciary duty” rule left over from the Obama administration requiring investment brokers work in their clients’ best interests. But now, the Trump administration has forced the Department of Labor to propose a new regulation that would delay and weaken this essential retiree protection.3

The Trump administration is only allowing two weeks for public comments. We have heard from our allies that interested parties aligned with Wall Street submitted more than 1,000 letters on the first day. It seems like they had a heads up. We only have until March 17 to submit enough comments to save the rules against retirement scams and show that there will be a major blowback if they are trashed.

Every year? Man, that Obama had 8 years to deal with that scam and did nothing about it? What a dick. Funny, you weren't mentioning that yearly bilking before.... I wonder if you'd be mentioning it if Clinton won... oh, wait, sorry, let me correct myself...NOW the bilking is occurring -- it started six weeks ago, when Trump took office. It didn't occur under Obama, and would definitely not be occurring had we elected the people's candidate, Hillary Clinton.

EPA report refutes Scott Pruitt's claim that carbon dioxide doesn't cause climate change

... “I think that measuring, with precision, human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact,” he said on CNBC. “So, no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see."

The EPA’s report concluded that greenhouse gases — including carbon dioxide, methane and others — endanger the public’s “health and welfare of current and future generations.”

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politic ... -1.2993687
This 'tremendous disagreement' is between empirically grounded scientific conclusions and a the opinion of a handful of powerful polluters who don't want to face up to their responsibility for adversely effecting the balance of the atmosphere.

I'm sick of these fuckwits saying "I think....". Science and reality don't give a shit about what you think. Imagine being that simple.

Indeed, science ought to have little to do with thinking.
