not really there are safeguards built into the system. However it does set the tone for the Administration, President Trump is pretty much putting everyone that works for the Administration on notice to start being productive or step aside.

I don't think Trump got to be where he is by being surrounded by "yes men". I think though, he will expect any dissent to be dealt with privately, and he will require results.

Here's part of the latest EO on Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs:

Sec. 2. Regulatory Cap for Fiscal Year 2017. (a) Unless prohibited by law, whenever an executive department or agency (agency) publicly proposes for notice and comment or otherwise promulgates a new regulation, it shall identify at least two existing regulations to be repealed.

(b) For fiscal year 2017, which is in progress, the heads of all agencies are directed that the total incremental cost of all new regulations, including repealed regulations, to be finalized this year shall be no greater than zero, unless otherwise required by law or consistent with advice provided in writing by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (Director).

Key word here is privately. The AG was all about getting her position in the news.

Trump is result driven no doubt.

Well, welcome to the world of law and order,,, something that has been missing for almost a decade,,.. I do enjoy the flailing of the Soros funded media,, if the law is on the books and was passed by congress ,, signed by a past President ,, and President Trump enforces it,, how is it unconstitutional ???

I know no one here has any interest in the facts, but this is the press conference John Kelly, head of DHS just gave. A bit long, but definitely worth the look:



among the highlights:

-Kelly fully supports the EO;

-DHS helped draft the EO and they knew it was coming;

-the reason those 7 countries were chosen is because they lack the most basic types of records, so it is very difficult to check out the background of an individual;

-the plan is to develop additional forms of "vetting" with those countries over the next 30,60,90,120 days;

Kelly is very impressive, obviously not a "yes" man and seems a good choice to head DHS.

"welcome to the world of law and order" indeed:

The White House has said a five-year-old boy was detained for more than four hours and reportedly handcuffed at an airport because he posed a “security risk”.

The boy, reportedly a US citizen with an Iranian mother, was one of more than 100 people detained following President Donald Trump’s immigration order.

Not to mention, of course, the highly successful first military action of President Trump in Yemen. One dead Seal, one dead Osprey, one dead eight year old American girl and several dead Yemenese women.

The U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs last year, 3,027 more than 2015. I think that goat cart is well atomized.

Would it have been o.k. if she hadn't been white? If not, why is this even relevant?

NOTHING new here. Kids have been searched by the TSA and detained for just about any reason the TSA can find. Search it. You will find plenty of this long before Trump was even running.
