  1. Orly Radio has Partnered with EpicProgress.com to do a daily damage report. It will be in this RSS feed so stay tuned and let us know how you like it. It is on the liberal side, but what else would a Daily opposition report be these days?

  2. Thanks to those Daily reports that frees up the show to deal with the larger issues.

  3. Trump has backpedaled on the One China Policy. Everything will continue to go through Beijing. This is perhaps his only rational foreign policy move to date. http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/10/asia/one-china-policy-explainer/

  4. The burden of being the leader of the free world is a tough job. So tough that the sitting president may not be able to stand it. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/donald-trump-challenges-governing-presidency-234879

  5. The 4th Estate, journalism, has had it’s up and down during the race to the whitehouse. It looks like Rupert Murdoch and company are feeling a little put out by journalists actually trying to do their jobs. They have been a little too critical of Donald and may be asked to reign it in over at the Wall Street Journal, and I would imagine a great many other Murdoch companies. http://www.politico.com/media/story/2017/02/gerry-baker-wall-street-journal-trump-newsroom-tensions-004928

  6. Public Policy Polling releases data showing that the Trump and policies are disliked, but are evenly divided on whether to impeach him http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2017/02/americans-now-evenly-divided-on-impeaching-trump.html

  7. A poll indicates that 51% of Trump supporters polled believe the Bowling Green Massacre is legit

  8. Federal agents conduct immigration enforcement raids in at least six states

EpicProgress.com - Damage Report February 11th, 2017

EpicProgress.com - Damage Report February 11th, 2017

http://www.epicprogress.com/daily-trump-damage-report-2112017/ 

Wall costs like F-35 fighter jets, Congress tweets Twitler in a bid for attention, terror among the civil service, immigrants, and people who just need to use the bathroom. Weekends don’t stop the party in Trumptown. The administration was busy this Saturday, February 11th, 2017.  Here’s your rundown of the horror du’jour.

• Trump will likely be impeached in 2 years, right after mid-terms. Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post lays out the scenario of the pendulum swing, and with things going the way they are now, there will be quite a bit of velocity to it.

• Trump asserts the price of his stupid border wall (which people with ladders or shovels could get around), will come way down once he starts negotiating. “Just like with the F-35 fighter jet” he tweeted, like an idiot who doesn’t know how much the F-35 has cost us might. The F-35 fighter jet has cost the United States of America $1.5 trillion dollars. For context as to how much $1.5 trillion dollars is, you could give every man, woman, and child in the United States $4,687.50. Or, pay off 1/10th of America’s entire public national debt. For the fighter jet the Pentagon didn’t want, and that doesn’t work.

• Congressmen of his own party have taken to attempting to communicate with Trump via Twitter, through “whoever monitors twitter at the WH 4PresTrump”. In other news, the State Department has taken to opening treaty negotiations with the poop emoji.

• The New York Times reports that dread is pervasive in the civil service of the government of the United States under Trump, with many who work in critical departments of our nation fearing for their jobs, their work, and the continuity of the services they provide.

• A Dominican newspaper printed a photo of Alec Baldwin doing his impression of Donald Trump for an article about Trump and Israel.  The SNL Trump is shown scowling with his Russian flag pin prominently affixed to his collar, pictured next to a photo of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

• Anti-immigrant crackdowns are taking place across America due to Trump’s recent executive order expanding categories of immigrants who are now higher priority for roundup and deportation. The families of undocumented workers are huddled in fear, making plans, and trying to figure out how to survive as ICE performs raids in an effort to please Trump. The Statue of Liberty, who previously had cried with silent lips for the wretched refuse of other nations to build up what would become America, could not be reached for comment.

• Today, Rep. Bill Pascrell raised the possibility Epic Progress had alluded to in an earlier Daily Trump Damage Report, of employing a rarely used law to acquire Trump’s tax returns. He has made the request to the chair of the Ways and Means committee, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas. It is doubtful that Congressman Brady will be surprising us by applying rational thought and acquiring the tax returns for review.

• The Justice Department, now under the guidance of Jeff “Ominous Banjo Music” Sessions, has begun the rollback of equal rights for bathroom usage. Protections allowing transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity have been removed, resulting in individuals using bathrooms where they clearly do not appear they should be using that bathroom. For some uncertain reason, the Trump administration appears extremely focused on where it is that people should be peeing.

• Rep. Jason Chaffetz, ghoulish Republican congressman who sought to sell our national parks off in bulk last week, said today that he believes the thousands of people who attended his town hall meetings to insist he oppose Trump were brought in by bus from other states and paid to protest. Chaffetz did not give any evidence to support his claim.

• Trump relies upon Gary Cohn, President of Goldman Sachs, to tell him what to do on economic matters. Deregulation in removing all the safety protections put in place after the economic collapse and recession of 2008 figure prominently on his to-do list.

• The White House has issued a denial that it is looking for a replacement for Press Secretary and Melissa McCarthy impersonator, Sean Spicer.  This in spite of media confirmations with White House officials of interviews taking place for the position.
