Nope. It means that the reporters will be able to communicate with him, which they need to be able to do to report. Again, this is not unusual or odd or different. It is how the relationship between any president and the WH press corps functions. Ilf it was okay for Obama, then it is okay here.

This is very normal. During the Obama years, these kinds of things were not at all uncommon. I am most certainly not a fan of Trump, but the off the record chats and such have been a staple in and around the presidency for decades.

All Adelson cares about is avoiding prosecution under the Corrupt Foreign Business Practices Act since he apparently bribed the Macau authorities with cash, booze and of course that Republican standard, hookers.

That is what all of us can do and have to do.

Thank you for the accurate history. My specific reference was to the destruction of the Second Jewish Temple in 70 AD and Claudius’ expulsion of the Jews from Rome in AD 49. 

“...not to mention blaming Jews for economic failure is precisely a tactic used in Nazi Germany during Hitler’s rise to power.”

They are not pro-life. They are pro-blastocyst and anti-human.

Wait. What did Tiffany do except make a way for their customers to get to their store? They paid for those barricades and should be allowed to make that clear. The other stores have the same option.

Depressingly, at this point news would be “College Athletic Team Treats Women Like People, Does Not Rape.”

Yep, that Barry Goldwater. He said it in an interview in November 1994.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t…

“The Supreme Court of the United States’ decision has nothing to do with the courts ruling.”

All things. There is no “except this stuff” clause there.

I respectfully disagree. This is no different than Kim Davis refusing to follow the ruling of the Supreme Court. Read the case. The governor set an employment policy inlace for his employees, not the entire population of the state. And that is well within his legal authority. Unless the Louisiana legislature also has…

Oh, but the language exists: Equal Protection Under Law.

Not quite. The court ruled that there is no precedent for LGBT rights in Louisiana law, ignoring volumes of recent cases including the Supreme Court, which are now law. Additionally, the governor’s order only applied to Louisiana state employees, over whom he has that power. It was not a general law for the entire…

The only psychological problems caused by abortion is in the anti-choice, anti-rights crowd that goes hair on fire with just the mention of the word.

You know how I feel about that book. It is a 2000 year old book of myths and legends that was written by craven old men to grasp power in the name of the illegitimate son of the invisible man in the sky.

Thanks for the kind words!

There were several small communities on South Florida that did not allow Jews. I recall the hotels being near Indian Creek on Miami Beach. I can’t recall the hotel name. I just have this very, very clear mental picture of the sign at the entry. I will ask my sister if she remembers.
