"forget" which I don't think they will there is supposed to be a committee...but if they do we will be reminding them...that's all.

That's why he's been so busy signing off on these EOs (that I doubt he's even skimmed through; Bannon reads him the bullet points whenever Fox goes on a commercial break).

The problem for Gump: what he's "getting done" is considered abhorrent by the majority of Americans. It's backfiring on him in the worst way too - - he's rapidly becoming synonymous with evil.

Next I hear he wants to cut off US-born children from receiving welfare if one of the parents is illegal?!! Every day brings fresh horrors.

The same shit they pulled in the campaign jumping from outrageous bullshit to outrageous bullshit before any of the consequences could really catch up to them.

I don't think they're doing it specifically to keep Russia out of the news, that's just gravy.
