Meditation in Schools



Nice try but no... In the US what usually happens is, eventually the Right-wing media will gang up on this government-sponsored, anti-merican, librull bullshit enraging it's base to the point that no public school will be allowed to promote this un-merican activity.

Working Trump

Coal: Coal execs' pay rises and rises, while miners' wages stagnate / Boing Boing:

Ignoring Trump: from Is Trump Really President?. "..perhaps Trump is being allowed to sit up there on the second floor of the White House and do his tweet thing, while others actually run the government." This week's budget deal seemed to ignore him.

Maybe just lobbying Trump? I wonder how much cash changed hands on this. Corporate America had to go into full 'all hands on deck' mode to save NAFTA from Trump.

Funding BIll

Maybe the adults in the room decided to just do their job and let the man-child cry.

The Cuck Stops Here – Talking Points Memo:

For all the talk about Trump shutting down the government to get Wall money, holding Obamacare subsidies hostage or generally bending history or at least Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to his will, Trump got close to nothing in the funding bill meant to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. He ended up crying uncle or “no mas” on virtually all his demands.

Let’s go down the list.

The EPA was slated for massive cuts – roughly 31%. It will retain 99% of its funding.

Trump demanded funding for his border wall. He didn’t get any.

Trump wanted to cut funding for the National Institutes of Health. It’s getting $2 billion of additional funding.

Funding is included for the Obamacare subsidies Trump has threatened not to pay.

There’s no provision for “defunding Planned Parenthood.”

There’s no language to defund “sanctuary cities.”
