Except for that mandate from Congress.  It's always there.  These things don't magically appear.  Congress punts stuff it can't handle

I agree Congress has abdicated much of its responsibilities.  I hard disagree that federal bureaucracies have acted only in the scope of their mandates.

I assumed @WhatTheBuck meant during this past election cycle and not “never in the history of life.”

Yes, Dems have used that language in the past but they stopped. Radical republicans kept bringing it up that it was being used and people believed them.

I don’t do Twitter. I said I don’t recall hearing a Democrat say it. No major candidate. Not Joe. Not Kamala. I’m not really concerned about what some staffer once wrote on their Twitter accounts.

Ive heard Joe say Latino. He’s old enough that I’m pretty confident he’d never say Latinx. I’ve never heard Kamala say it. I haven’t found video of her saying it. I’ve found numerous videos of other people trying to ascribe it to her. Like one where Megyn Kelly tries to use it but demonstrates that she’s never actually heard anyone say it because she pronounces it “luh-tinks.” And one where a Latina woman says it; not sure what to make of that. I think most of the narrative has been crafted by the opposition rather than the actual politicians in the Democratic Party and that mostly occurred on social media, not the real world.

Russia tv is calling trump the us’s gorbachev 

hopefully this comparison fails

A lot of people who fucked around and voted Trump are gonna be shocked during the find out phase here
It’s truly amazing how many people voted against their own interests. My next door neighbors are Trumpers (and otherwise decent people). Their 10 year old has a  preexisting condition (MD) and an Individual Education Plans
Meanwhile I have two healthy kids who don’t need an IEP 
How am I voting to give your kid health insurance and extra help in school while you’re voting to take that away from your own kid?!? Make it make sense.
(They don’t actually know what they’re voting for is the only way it makes sense to me)
 

Exactly. A guy I went to HS with voted for Trump and Abbott. His kid is a junior who has his heart set on Michigan. Kid goes to our HS (Title 1 school, so it gets DOE money). He's in a college-prep program (AVID) that's partially, if not fully, funded by that Title 1 money. Kid has done medical issues, so he has a 504 and is receiving services that are paid for by that TItle 1 money. Finally, I doubt Jason is making enough to pay for Michigan's out-of-state (or Texas's in-state) tuition, so I'm sure they'll need financial aid provided by the DOE.

I guess I hope it all works out for the kid.

He's a million times worse than Gorbachev. 

He's the US's Putin. 

Ask Russians (if you can get them in a situation where they aren't scared for their lives to tell the truth) how they feel about Putin sacrificing over a million of their young men for a bullshit invasion that he promised would be quick. 

Putin is the embodiment of Russian corruption, ineptness, and stupidity. 

Trump is the same for Americans. And Americans will pay the price just like Russians are doing now.

I work closely at times with the Department of Energy so I was supremely confused by your post for a second.

The Times is reporting that President-Elect Donald J. Trump has prepared an Executive Order for his First Day in Office, which would see the Medical Discharge of over 15,000 Transgender Servicemembers from the U.S. Military, as well as a Ban on Transgender Individuals from joining any Branch of the Armed Forces.
