[quad489]

24. When did the unborn start being considered a baby?

"9. That Baby in that mom to the left will pay the price."

[pazzyanne]

31. That is an inappropriate comment.

It is our children and, yes, the unborn children who will pay the price if we cannot find a way forward on this issue.

[Timmygoat]

15. Rethugs are all hypocrites

Just watching Peter King on CNN, he is something on the Homeland Security caucus, that would be the same Peter King who was a fundraiser for the IRA terrorists who planted bombs in the UK (remember the Grande Hotel in Brighton) and the people attending
a service for the war dead in Ireland, and let us not forget the bomb in Hyde Park, London. How lucky we are to have hi in Homeland
Security and not in prison.

[zeusdogmom]

16. NPR is turning into a major investigative news unit

I know many on this site think NPR has sold its soul to "the evil right" But how often has their reporting been spot on? You hear both sides of the story - maybe not on the same day or same program - but over the course of a week, the facts are put front and center - without hysterical drama or shouting - for the listener to discern.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. NPR found it?

Maybe Don the CON shouldn't have cut their funding. Now nobody owns them.....until Fox buys them.

[mucifer]

18. I looked at NPRs website and don't see an article about this

you would think it would be a huge story. Is this source reliable? I mean it doesn't matter if there is a photo, he signed it and we know he signed it. But, I'm not sure this photo is real.

35. That's a photo of him signing H.R. 225

Which is a bill allowing the importation of polar bear trophies.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/225/text

Horrid.

But it is not a photo of him signing HJ Resolution 40
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40/text

It would seem that NPR/PBS used the photo as an example of his smug face when he signs a bill but not the particular bill in question.

[TomVilmer]

53. Yeps, photo is from a different signing...

President Donald Trump signs a bill to encourage women to enter the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Nice find.

Trump signs order loosening gun restrictions
By Associated Press
Feb 28, 2017 10:14 PM EST

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has signed a resolution blocking an Obama-era rule that would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from buying guns.

The rule was part of former President Barack Obama’s push to strengthen the federal background check system in the wake of the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut shooting.

It required the Social Security Administration to send in the names of beneficiaries with mental impairments who also need a third-party to manage their benefits.

But lawmakers, the National Rifle Association and even the American Civil Liberties Union criticized the rule, saying it unfairly stigmatized the disabled and infringed on their constitutional right to bear arms.

[pintobean]

26. Then, they probably shouldn't have had the press there

The AP story on PBS, a year ago.

43. Nobody seems to want to look at the details. I won't defend trumps motives, but the rule was BS from

the start.

It discriminated against people with mental health issues without ANY regard for whether they might be dangerous. No data to support it.

The ACLU was right to oppose the rule, and it was right to repeal it. Doesn't mean we can't craft better rules/laws around mental health restrictions, but that particular one was crap.

[lunasun]

29. Well it is a photo of him signing an HR bill and the photo is labeled as to what is being signed

The photo is of HR 225 per the description at the NPR link

Last Updated Feb 17, 2018 12:54 PM EST

A little over a month after his inauguration, on Feb. 28, 2017, President Trump signed HJ Resolution 40, a bill that made it easier for people with mental illness to obtain guns. CBS News then asked the White House to release the photograph of Mr. Trump signing the bill, making the request a total of 12 times.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders finally responded to repeated emails and phone calls with a one-line note on April 19, 2017, writing to CBS News, "We don't plan to release the picture at this time."

A White House photographer confirmed to CBS News that there are photos of the bill signing. Those photos won't be seen unless the Trump administration releases them, though, because the White House is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

39. Good catch.

The Reuters' photo caption doesn't match the AP article.


H.R. 225 (115th Congress) is a bill titled "Restoration of the U.S.-Russia Polar Bear Conservation Fund Act"

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/225


Here is a link to H.J.Res.40, "Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Social Security Administration relating to Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007."

[poboy2]

37. He has a big button to destroy the world with.

[poboy2]

34. This needs to be talked about on the boob tube. Reporters? -eom

[lagomorph777]

36. Fucking pig. Did he give away ceremonial crayons?

[Turbineguy]

38. And the applause

for the increased death. The lady in the grey dress.... is that a baby bump? Let's hope for her sake (and for any of them) she doesn't have to face the consequences of that day.

41. PBS is wrong. That pic isn't from that signing.

42. Like he said at yesterday's listening session, arming teachers could very well solve "YOUR" problem.

Did anyone catch that?

As president, he doesn't feel that this is "OUR" problem, as in, our nation's problem. This is your problem America. He has nothing to do with it.

45. minngal

I've been waiting to see this, I knew it was out there but finally it's posted. He has blood on his hands. But I suppose it doesn't bother him any more than it would his son holding up an elephant trunk after shooting an elephant and cutting his trunk off!! Where do people like this come from?

[B2G]

46. The whole post is incorrect.

I hate seeing false info spread. It doesn't help.

[Angry Dragon]

49. what is incorrect??

[B2G]

50. He was not signing the executed order referenced in the OP.

He was signing 2 completely unrelated bill related to women in tech and research.

Which is why he's surrounded by women.

47. Tie this to every GOP rep up for election

especially if they focus on the mental health side not the semi-automatic rifles.

You don't want to read the pro AR-15 arguments about how it helps kids learn discipline and responsibility and puts a smile on their face when firing lots of rounds effortlessly and accurately with very little recoil. Almost as if it were designed for soldiers to kill their enemies.
