Donald Trump Is Signing Executive Orders That He Doesn't Read or Understand | GQ

Quote:
"For the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the president’s dominant adviser, despite Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban."

So there are only two options here. Donald Trump either read this Executive Order and did not understand what placing Steve Bannon on the National Security Council (especially at the expense of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Director of National Intelligence) would mean, which is terrifying... OR Donald Trump didn't read the ****ing Executive Order that he signed. Some people would say we should give Trump the benefit of the doubt and assume he just didn't understand and wasn't properly briefed (WHICH AGAIN, IS HORRIFYING IN AND OF ITSELF), but then you get to this chestnut from the Times piece:

"For a man who sometimes has trouble concentrating on policy memos, Mr. Trump was delighted to page through a book that offered him 17 window covering options."

And then you remember this little nugget from Politico a couple weeks back:

"One person who frequently talks to Trump said aides have to push back privately against his worst impulses in the White House... and have to control information that may infuriate him. He gets bored and likes to watch TV."
I uhhhhhhhhh. I know this isn't a hard news article but wow.

OMG four more years of this and I'll have forgotten what it feels like for the gaping maw within my soul to have consumed my ability to laugh.

The Politico article cited in that Jack Moore article would be so much better if they didn't mix unsubstantiated silliness in by making up a "person" who they talked to about what Trump does in the White House. It's obvious they didn't talk to anyone and created "a person close to Trump" to insert their own narrative. Trump's administration has a lot of real problems, so why not talk to real people who you can quote by name?

You said it in a parallel universe where Gary Johnson won the presidency.

If you watched the video i posted its briefly covered from 6-8minute mark and Sam Harris doesnt seem to disagree. Bill Maher says its not normal and comes off kinda douchey, but neither say they should be forced to dressed "normally".

Im not gonna go off on a tyrade about it but any system/religion/ideaology that tells you what to think instead of teaching you how to think is the enemy of progression and worth criticizing. (Im sure im paraphrasing Dawkins with this but i cant give you a direct quote).

I read a Sam Harris book back in the day, but that's pretty much the extent of my Serious Atheist Research. I like arguing that **** on occasion, but **** me I don't understand why so many atheists care so much about this ****. God doesn't exist, fantastic, stupendous, moving on.
