Trump is reversing Obama's decision to allow students to use the bathroom that they personally identify with in their minds.

That's good. Let businesses decide how they want to approach this issue. The government has no business dictating who uses what restroom.

Trump ignoring a rise in anti Semitic crimes and activity and the Netanyahu administration also ignoring it because of close ties to Trump. Noble Israeli politicians are trying to shed light. The bogeyman Steve Bannon is mentioned.

I'll give them this. Trump's lack of caring is very concerning. Spare me the token Jew son in law; Trump just doesn't give a damn about fighting bigotry.

Long interview with ex CIA analyst who quit because he cannot in good conscience work for Trump. Admits that he opposes Trump on almost every political issue but claims that in no way affected his decision. Starts off with eloquent memory of him as a young freshman watching black smoke rising from the Towers on 9/11 and knowing that he had to defend his country from extremists.

So what's the story here?

The US will no longer be able to bring down corruption in the world, such as the toppling of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, because Trump is now president. Soccer purists and other world anti corruption people are despondent.

It's not that we won't be able to, but that Trump won't care to do so. And I don't have an issue with it quite honestly. Let another government waste it's tax dollars on investigating FIFA.
