Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), met with President Donald Trump for the first time Tuesday and instead of asking the president to release his tax returns or address his glaring conflicts of interest, Chaffetz asked that the White House defy existing law to undo protections for a national monument in Utah.Of course, "no oversight talk" yesterday; or ever.
After the meeting, Chaffetz told reporters that Trump made it clear there would be "no oversight talk" during their conversation. Although Democrats on the committee have called for an investigation into Trump's business dealings, Chaffetz instead took the opportunity to bring up his opposition to the Bears Ears national monument in Utah "as subject number one."

By far the craziest story I've seen about Trump. He WASN'T BRIEFED on his own order putting Rasputin on the NSC?! https://t.co/09sZO49bHX pic.twitter.com/vw2vei0hvU— Paul Gowder (@PaulGowder) February 6, 2017

He doesn't need no stinkin' allies. He's going to make the military so yuge and so strong that nobody will ever mess with us. We run this planet and the rest of these little wannabe countries had better understand it right quick.It's not just refugees that are targets of fuhrer-loving airport rent-a-cops: Norwegian former PM was detained for questioning, over a 2014 trip to Iran seen in his diplomatic passport.
That's what Trump was selling folks, not isolationism. ... just like his followers he's a selfish, bastard who doesn't understand that there's such a thing as win-win. The world is zero sum to these people --- America, white people, Trump voters are on top. Everyone else can crawl for scraps. But they have nothing to say about it.
I think this picture says everything. And it's terrifying. It's of President Trump (gulp) yelling at the Australian Prime Minister who he apparently thinks made a "good deal" for his shitty little country and is laughing at us for being fools and now Trump's gonna reneg on the "bad deal" for America and show him what's what.
He is treating the rest of the world like a bunch of painting contractors he's going to stiff now that they've done the work. Let 'em sue, amirite?

The "Unborn Child Protection From Dismemberment Abortion Act," signed into law last week by Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R), bans dilation and evacuation procedures, in which the physician removes the fetus from the womb with surgical tools. D&E procedures are the safest and most common way women can end their pregnancies after 14 weeks of gestation, according to the American Medical Association.Shakezula—
The ban on D&E pairs well with the fact that Arkansas already makes it difficult for women to receive a abortion during the first trimester.
The law, HB1032, defines an unborn child as "an individual organism of the species Homo sapiens from fertilization until live birth" at which point the sort of people who pass these bills cease to give a fuck and – because lines are never blurred enough for the GOP – a woman as "a female human being whether or not she has reached the age of majority."
The law also intimidates abortion providers by allowing people to sue the doctor who performs or attempts to perform a D&E unless it was required to save the pregnant woman or girl’s life: The person seeking the abortion, the husband of the person seeking the abortion or parents of a minor seeking an abortion. I don't know how many providers in Arkansas perform D&E, but once this law goes into effect they're going to be swamped by idiots trying to run their own sting operations.
In addition, a patient, the patient's husband/guardian (same difference in The Patriarchy) or another health care provider of the patient can file an injunction against the provider who intends to perform the abortion.
The woman, the husband and health care providers all have the right to control the woman’s body; if that doesn’t say equality, what does? But it gets worse (of course).
The law states that the husband cannot sue the doctor for money in cases of "criminal conduct" against his wife ― namely, spousal rape ― but he could still sue to block her from having the abortion.Nothing says law and order like letting violent criminals control their victims.
