    President Donald Trump is planning to sign an executive order aimed at strengthening cybersecurity.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan has given a strong defense of President Donald Trump's refugee and immigration ban.
    That's the word from Republicans who attended a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning. Lawmakers said Ryan told them he backs the order, which has created chaos and confusion worldwide.

    President Donald Trump says he wants to lower drug prices and bring pharmaceutical companies back to the United States.
    Trump is meeting with drug company executives at the White House Tuesday. He says "we're going to be changing a lot of the rules" and promises to end "global freeloading."
    He is also vowing to reduce the prices of Medicare and Medicaid.

    The White House says President Donald Trump will leave intact a 2014 executive order that protects federal workers from anti-LGBTQ discrimination.
    In a statement released early Tuesday, the White House says Trump "is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBTQ community" and that he "continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights, just as he was throughout the election."

    The Trump administration has named a new acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
    Thomas Homan, who was in charge of the agency's enforcement and removal operations, has been named acting director. The agency's Twitter account says that Daniel Ragsdale, who had been temporarily in charge, is returning to his previous position as deputy director of ICE. Both men are longtime career employees.

    I'm looking forward to the leaks about the meeting with drug company execs.

    weird, just a day or two ago it was reported that Trump was drafting a "religious freedom" EO that would ALLOW LBGTQ folks to be discriminated against.

    wow, that is absurd. of course, only the ones that can afford it will push for this. are they going to subsidize all the gaffers, lighting techs, camera guys, grips, etc, who stand to lose their houses from this nonsense?

    like trump gives a flying fuck about hollywood. without them, that's one less group of voices against him.

    I also think conservatives are overly fixated on Hollywood. Yes they make the news a lot, but speaking as progressive, for progressives here. I can tell you that I could care less what any Hollywood star does or says. It doesn't make a difference to me and I would bet it doesn't make a difference to almost every progressive. They are somewhat inflated in their 'influence' but conservatives fall into that trap and react to it like anyone really gives a shit.

    I think some think that way, but I think that celebrities on twitter or at award shows are only voicing their opinions, and since they have all those ears, they might feel an obligation to say something they believe in. I don't fault them for that. but saying that hollywood is the foundation of america is absolutely ridiculous.

    I agree. I don't fault anyone for using their celebrity or whatever to speak their mind. But conservatives fall into the trap of thinking we care what they say.

    I'm of the belief that Hollywood actors and athletes have just as much right to express themselves as you and I. It's hard to quantify the impact they have.
    Regarding the conservatives fixation on Hollywood, whatever that means, just take a look at the medias reaction to Nicole Kidman when she simply stated after the election 'calm down trumps our president let's support him'. She didn't endorse trump, she made one statement and it was on every celebrity news site and TV show. She was forced to make additional comments and explain herself.

    Take a look at the media reaction to other celebrities that actually supported Trump...Baio, Voight, Busey, TBrady.

    Conversely, look at the media reporting and over-reaction to celebrities that are friendly with Obama, look at Hilliarys star studded fundraisers and campaign talent shows.
    Conservative fixation? Was Hilliary trying to court fixated on Hollywood conservatives?

    You may be on to something here. So you're telling me media is a business and gives the consumer the product it wants? This is mindblowing, I have to rethink everything.

    You're missing my point. I'm not arguing that they don't have a platform, they shouldn't use the platform OR that the media perpetuates it. It's all true. I'm saying that I don't think that who Clint Eastwood or Matt Damon supports really changes anyone's mind.

    Conversely, look at the media reporting and over-reaction to celebrities that are friendly with Obama, look at Hilliarys star studded fundraisers and campaign talent shows.
    Conservative fixation? Was Hilliary trying to court fixated on Hollywood conservatives?
    You're missing my point. I'm not arguing that they don't have a platform, they shouldn't use the platform OR that the media perpetuates it. It's all true. I'm saying that I don't think that who Clint Eastwood or Matt Damon supports really changes anyone's mind.
    Well most of Hollywood believes that you should listen to them.

    I got a chuckle when they threatened to strike. Oh no, you mean people might actually do things like go outside?
    Of course. Who speaks and doesn't believe someone should listen to them? You type and hope someone reads it. That's just human nature.

    Okay, regardless oh how much you hate Trump, this is just funny.

    wow, that is absurd. of course, only the ones that can afford it will push for this. are they going to subsidize all the gaffers, lighting techs, camera guys, grips, etc, who stand to lose their houses from this nonsense?

    like trump gives a flying fuck about hollywood. without them, that's one less group of voices against him.
    I also think conservatives are overly fixated on Hollywood. Yes they make the news a lot, but speaking as progressive, for progressives here. I can tell you that I could care less what any Hollywood star does or says. It doesn't make a difference to me and I would bet it doesn't make a difference to almost every progressive. They are somewhat inflated in their 'influence' but conservatives fall into that trap and react to it like anyone really gives a shit.
    I'm of the belief that Hollywood actors and athletes have just as much right to express themselves as you and I. It's hard to quantify the impact they have.
    Regarding the conservatives fixation on Hollywood, whatever that means, just take a look at the medias reaction to Nicole Kidman when she simply stated after the election 'calm down trumps our president let's support him'. She didn't endorse trump, she made one statement and it was on every celebrity news site and TV show. She was forced to make additional comments and explain herself.

    Take a look at the media reaction to other celebrities that actually supported Trump...Baio, Voight, Busey, TBrady.

    Be careful about what you hear. That was real Fake News.

    And I just feel that the people in the Entertainment industry who are resisting are citizens who think like I do. Nothing more, nothing less. Other citizens.

    Im not saying they dont have a platform either, I was addressing your belief that conservatives are fixated with hollywood. If thats the case then I would expect conservatives to trot out celebrities when campaigning more often then progressives like Obama and Hilliary. Maybe the lack of celebrity endorsements for conservatives has something to do with it.
    My other point was the treatment by the media by those that support Trump vs Hillary, perfect example being Kidman, who didnt support Trump but simply made a statement.
    Sometimes an athlete, an actor actress, a musician says something that has a positive effect on someone, I believe it was and is the case with PJ.

    Conservatives must care enough to create fake news about a strike.

    "Resistance" in some parts of the world is treated as "terrorism", lets all hope that does not happen here.
