  Has he gone back on his plan to end the Paris treaty? If not that seems like a big push one way or the other - though of course he might go back on it.

    Its literally day 1, give him 24 hours and we'll see.

      Not even 24 hours. For too long, we’ve been held back by burdensome regulations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule. Lifting these restrictions will greatly help American workers, increasing wages by more than $30 billion over the next 7 years. https://www.whitehouse.gov/america-first-energy https://www.whitehouse.gov/america-first-energy

      You'd think, but he's decided to take the weekend off (not kidding). This, after it came out that he wanted tanks and rocket launchers at the inauguration. Our Dear Leader had to be told that it would look bad, and that the weight of the tanks would turn the streets to rubble.

        I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious if you have a link/source regarding the tanks and rocket launchers

            So you don't have a real source, just conjecture?

              No, I'm not a reporter, I don't have any sources. Just trying to help people who don't feel like looking it up themselves.

            that story was served anonymously, but correctly predicted 2 days ago that there would be military overflights of teh inauguration parade, confirmed here: http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/military-flyovers-for-inauguration-day http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/military-flyovers-for-... So I think it would be a mistake to dismiss it as pure conjecture considering that it has been partly validated by events. It would be quite easy to file a FOIA request to find out whether there were requests for ground-based hardware. Trump is already on record expressing a desire for military parades: http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/trump-to-hold-military-parades-as-us-forces-grow http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/trump-to-hold-military...

  This seems right to me, by the principle that "actions speak louder than words". Presumably actions also speak louder than words that weren't said.
  • plussed_reader 10y ago
    Right, but the campaign is run on words. And now we get to live the reality of whatever those words 'meant'.
