monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

he often uses irony and sarcasm and is oft sardonic.
Via google, I need to reread the exact differences of those myself.

A day earlier, Gorsuch made news in another meeting, with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), for saying Trump’s attacks on Judge James Robart were “disheartening” and “demoralizing.” Robart put a nationwide temporary hold on Trump’s immigration order. Trump responded by calling Robart a “so-called judge.”

“Disheartening is a great word,” Sasse said of Trump’s criticism. “Judge Gorsuch and I actually talked about that, and frankly he got pretty passionate about it. I asked him about the ‘so-called judges’ comment, because we don't have so-called judges or so-called presidents or so-called senators, and this is a guy who kind of welled up with some energy and he said any attack on any of — I think his term to me was ‘brothers or sisters of the robe’ is an attack on all judges, and he believes in an independent judiciary.”

As we all know, Trump has been a guest on InfoWars.

Kurt Nimmo, a longtime former editor for Alex Jones’ Infowars.com, has been publicly trashing his ex-boss as a “snake oil salesman” who sold out to support President Donald Trump.

The Canadian biologist Ian Stirling has spent much of his life with polar bears. Now seventy-five years old, he joined the Canadian Wildlife Service in the early nineteen-seventies, at a time when no one was doing much in the field beyond tagging the bears and waiting to see where they went. For years, the government paid little attention to how Stirling spent his time; he even did much of his own fund-raising. But, beginning in 2006, when the conservative, business-friendly government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power, Stirling and thirty-six thousand other federal scientists were abruptly forbidden to talk about their work publicly, unless their statements had been vetted and approved by bureaucrats in Ottawa. The policy lasted for nine years, until 2015. In that time, according to Elizabeth May, the leader of Canada’s Green Party, Harper’s “Orwellian” requirement became “a humiliation for scientists, and brought us into international ridicule.”

Since Donald Trump’s Inauguration, U.S. scientists have begun looking north for signs of what’s to come...

Quote:

Top Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway used a Fox News appearance on Thursday morning to encourage people to buy items from Ivanka Trump's clothing and accessories line, just one day after the President slammed Nordstrom on Twitter for dropping it.

"Go buy Ivanka's stuff is what I would tell you," she said. "I hate shopping, I will go get some myself today."

"This is just a wonderful line," Conway continued. "I own some of it. I fully—I'm going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody, you can find it online."

Yeah, well that's all totally normal.

Conservatives Urge Speedup Of Health Law Repeal, Dismiss Calls For Caution

Leading conservative Republicans from the House and Senate say Congress is moving too slowly on efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act. But their potential resistance to compromise — even with other members of their own party — underscores just how hard a task Republicans have set for themselves.

“We think it’s time to do something, and that’s to get rid of this law,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told reporters at an event sponsored by the conservative Heritage Foundation. “The biggest problem with waiting is that’s not what we told the voters.”

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, one of the leading conservative voices in that chamber, said he will vigorously oppose efforts for Republicans to wait until they have a plan ready to replace the law before they repeal it. “There is a lot less agreement about what comes next,” he said. “If we load down the repeal bill with what comes next, it’s harder to get both of them passed.”

dead people dont vote. OH YEH, thats right, Trump is in touch with the spirits who do.

Local officials in Colorado acknowledged "very serious" voter fraud after learning of votes cast in multiple elections under the named of recently-deceased residents.

A local media outlet uncovered the fraud by comparing voting history databases in the state with federal government death records. "Somebody was able to cast a vote that was not theirs to cast," El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman told CBS4 while discussing what he called a "very serious" pattern of people mailing in ballots on behalf of the dead.
