To be respectful of everyone on the El&I board we have divided the News & Politics thread into two separate categories. "Lite" & "Sensitive" This is the Lite thread. Topics discussed here should be the ones that fall on the lighter side of the news such as political cartoons, presidential campaigns, advances in science & technology....etc. The darker side of the news should be posted here News & Politics | Sensitive Topics this thread is clearly labeled so those who may be upset by certain topics can avoid them.

Mike Dubke, White House communications director, quits
Didn't even last three months. And they're cutting down on press briefings. That's not ominous at all. __________________

I've given up on watching Sean Spicer's press briefings. If people find them entertaining or newsworthy though then great I guess.
Trump’s use of private cellphone raises security concerns Kathy Griffin's beheaded Donald Trump photo grabs Secret Service's attention Glad she apologized for that picture.I think that Trump can bring out the worst in people & that seems to have happened here. __________________

I doubt it'll make the people who usually say that the U.S. newsmedia is all liberal-biased all the time realize just how wrong they are, but I wasn't surprised CNN sacked her.
I've been trying to figure out all day if a Conservative comedian had done a similar stunt, whether I'd have had the same reaction. And, honestly, I couldn't come up with an answer. Because Conservative jokes tend to be so aggressive... which I suppose a beheading is obviously aggressive. But the idea that Kathy Griffin could be implying this is something that should happen... Of course, as I always say, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of your speech. So that's what she's going through right now. She's old enough to have known how it would be. __________________

Not surprising if this President doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yeah, I don't think there's any "ifs" about it. Wasn't he elected precisely because he had no personal experience or knowledge of how government/politics work?
I mean, I think that was the cited appeal, right? "He doesn't know what he's doing. Let's give him the most powerful job in the world." __________________

Qatar row: Trump claims credit for isolation
Trump: If it's not all the Muslims, how come the other Muslims never say anything against terrorism? Four "Muslim" countries: Qatar funds several terrorism organizations, so we're putting an embargo on it. Trump: You're welcome! __________________

Did you watch Jim Comey's testimony today? I missed it. I did see though Trump's lawyer give his little speech. Don Jr. tweeted during it & he is no fan Jim Comey I tell you. What do you think? Is this a witch hunt like Trump's son says it is?

I was at work, so I didn't see it. But I guess it's safe to say that whether you believe the Trump boys or James Comey depends on whether you believe in facts or in alternative facts.
What's your opinion? __________________

Well his testimony re-aired on C-SPAN last night, so I did see some it there. It wasn't too surprising about what he said. He thinks Trump is a liar & Trump thinks the same of him.

Yeah, but Trump is also telling everyone that Comey's testimony vindicated him (Trump). So, you know, he's pretty much telling everyone that he (Trump) can't be trusted.
So, I don't know, but I wouldn't come away thinking they're equally reliable here. __________________
