WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping executive order that would clear the way for the Central Intelligence Agency to reopen overseas “black site” prisons, like those where it detained and tortured terrorism suspects before former President Obama shut them down.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
According to an email sent Monday morning and obtained by BuzzFeed News, the department told staff — including some 2,000 scientists — at the agency’s main in-house research arm, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), to stop communicating with the public about taxpayer-funded work.
“Starting immediately and until further notice, ARS will not release any public-facing documents,” Sharon Drumm, chief of staff for ARS, wrote in a department-wide email shared with BuzzFeed News.
“This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, photos, fact sheets, news feeds, and social media content,” she added.

Latest tweet folks Congratulations to @FoxNews for being number one in inauguration ratings. They were many times higher than FAKE NEWS @CNN - public is smart! If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds! Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump
and it's another lie, "amoung" all the rest. CNN posted the actual figures, from reuters: 34 million for CNN, 34 million for Fox, and CNN had 16 million on mobile devices.
and even if it wasn't, the president taking sides with media is a very slippery slope.

I support him because Americans elected him and he is our now our president. I voted for him because I thought he was a better option than Hillary. That doesn't mean I'm aligned with him on every issue though. This means I'm a stupid racist?
So you made a really bad decision. And now you're just going to 'fall in line' because he's your president? My gawd man.
And sorry, but questions regarding your critical thinking ability emerge when you say you "thought he was a better option..." You might be a hell of a guy, but eesh. Trump was a steep price to pay to stick it to the establishment (not that you did that anyways... you voted for an silver spoon fed billionaire instead of a millionaire).
I don't think I made a bad decision. I think I voted for the better of the two options... it was a difficult decision that I struggled with at times. I think you guys need to realize that half of the voters chose a different candidate than you and not all of them are morons and/or racists.

If we went back and forth about why you thought he was a better option than Clinton, that would reveal what style of thinking you prefer.
Yeah maybe. But who wants to hear from a stupid racist.
No shit. I wonder what the chain of command is for something like that. Would Rahm or our piece of shit Governor Rauner have to make a request for the feds to step in?
Trump is an absolute fucking clown, but he is right that something needs to be done here....this shit is getting out of control. Not sure how the process would actually work, but the violence is just too much right now and it's still winter....just wait until it starts getting warm out.
I agree that something needs to be done, but I feel Trump is trying to run things as one drunk, bigoted guy might from within the pub after having a few and beginning to feel really smart- just spouting off with the first thing that pops into his head: illegal immigrants... a wall; terrorism... deport Muslims; crime in Chicago... feds; women don't listen... grab them by the p**sy; America sucks... make America great again; etc.
He's a f**king idiot. Pure and simple.
I agree with everything you said 100%. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that something needs to be done about the violence in Chicago.
2012 Democrats- "We need more government in every aspect of our life" 2017 Democrats- "The government is interrupting my twitter feed"
Republicans always (in theory) - "we need smaller government with less control over our lives"
Republicans 2017 (and really, most times, in practice) - "government is taking control over even more aspects of our lives and attempting to suppress discussion about it - I love that!"
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

Sorry, meant to say "holy shrine to far left democracy"
I don't think I made a bad decision. I think I voted for the better of the two options...
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to remove the climate change page from its website, two agency employees told Reuters, the latest move by the newly minted leadership to erase ex-President Barack Obama's climate change initiatives.
The employees were notified by EPA officials on Tuesday that the administration had instructed EPA's communications team to remove the website's climate change page, which contains links to scientific global warming research, as well as detailed data on emissions. The page could go down as early as Wednesday, the sources said.
"If the website goes dark, years of work we have done on climate change will disappear," one of the EPA staffers told Reuters, who added some employees were scrambling to save some of the information housed on the website, or convince the Trump administration to preserve parts of it.
The sources asked not to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Sure you did.

Lol yea i was just going to comment..not a dump but yes harsher punishment with guns in chitown are needed. Maybe the "feds" can help..
Do you have a better idea to stop the violence? We can let these murder numbers climb another 25% this year and watch the city continue on a path to shit..Cops can't get it done, Rahm hasn't been able to, so what do we do? Get the Fed's in and help with the root cause..the poverty, the gangs, the drugs, etc.. I'm with "the donald" on this one. (Disclaimer: I didn't vote for the bafoon)..trademark josevolution.
Fearful and desperate people tend to be the ones who end up supporting dictators.
I am neither..what do you suggest in Chicago?
I recommend first that people reject any trump proposal that includes larger, heavy handed federal government response (which will be most of his proposals outside of budget cuts) then I recommend that people read about gang behavior and gang interventions. Then they should look at all that data broadly, come up with their own ideas (borrowed or new) about what to do and go from there. It can be ppealing to to some to default to the lowest common denominator of a police state, but you should fight that urge.

Very solid recommendations..i would bet that law enforcement and other groups have previously read into gang behavior and looked at all the data available wouldn't you think? This has been going on in Chicago for years. So in that case when all else has failed, (which I believe we could be at that point) what do you do??

No shit. I wonder what the chain of command is for something like that. Would Rahm or our piece of shit Governor Rauner have to make a request for the feds to step in?
Yes. The governor has to make the request. Think back to Katrina. Bush couldn't send troops until Governor Blanco made the official request.
Which bring us to multiple scenarios of agencies and government employees not following our new dictators orders. What follows that, and what are the implications? The system runs on a certain level of faith and trust. Trump is effing with that and he has no clue whatsoever.
No. It doesn't lead to multiple scenerios. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act detail requirements and limitations for a federal government to intervene.
You're just referring to what trump said about Chicago. But even in that single scenario, trump will interpret those as giving him permission to send "the feds". He will probably be told no, and then it what hapoens after that matters. You seem to be under the impression that trump is educated on anything about the federal government and is willing to respect the limits placed on it.

Your making some assumptions. I don't know how thoroughly Chicago has looked into interventions that could work. Also when you say "all else has failed", that means they've tried everything, which is really unlikely.

Yawn. Yup, he's just like Obama. Got it.
With the big difference being that Trump will not tolerate the carnage that is Chicago.
