Turns out, "white lies" still count as lies.

I'm sure Hicks was the only WH Communications Director to ever tell a lie. Or perhaps she was the only one with enough class to admit it?

At what point will the realization set in for you that, no matter who resigns from the Trump administration, there will be a replacement and Trump will still be president?

If she had any class she wouldn't have attempted to play it down by calling them "little white lies." Chaos and dysfunction continues.

So, for you, no honesty is preferable to partial honesty. Strange, but okay. Also, Trump is getting a lot of his agenda implemented in spite of "chaos and dysfunction". Tell me what lasting contributions Obama made with his unassailable leadership skills.

Tbf, no one likes admitting a fault like lying as part of their job like that. It's human nature to play it down, I think.

I'm curious as to WHY she is resigning.

It should also be noted that Hope Hicks has no class whatsoever, as she is the one that drafted the statements defending Rob Porter and his domestic violence, urging the entire WH to sing his praises as the photos circulated. She should have resigned then, it had to take her being caught lying for her to go.

And LOL at the Trump agenda, nothing is getting done, he cut taxes for the wealthy and increased military spending, sending the deficits soaring. That's it. Nothing else will be passed this year. DACA is here to stay, he messed that up completely, immigration reform will never get through the GOP, infrastructure would just send the deficit even higher, not happening, gun control, Trump flip flops daily, nothing will be done. And the Dems keep winning state elections.

She is resigning to try to stop the investigations. People are gonna know about the lies that she told and what impact, if any, they had. They might have been nothing, but it will still be investigated. I'm sure Trey Gowdy was thrilled to hear that admission.

How is daca still here? It will be gone soon. As always your twist the wording on everything. The scotus would not hear the daca case because it still has to go through the lower courts which it did not as of yet. Thats the only reason scotus would not hear it right now. Quit listening to cnn for christ sakes.

Uh no, DACA will not be "gone soon." Because for some unexplainable reason, Trump decided to try to bypass the circuit courts. By doing that, he dragged the process out too long for the SCOTUS to hear it in 2018. They will hear it next year, which means it will be around until at least next year.

Well my local team is terrible. But I do follow it casually. They don't look like they will win 70 games.

Looks like Walmart is taking the lead on gun control as they have raised their age requirement to 21 in the purchasing of all guns and ammo. *** Sporting Goods, which is pretty much the only sporting goods chain left, also raised their age requirement to 21 and is no longer selling assault weapons.

***'s pretty much already did that after Sandy Hook. That bit seems to be glossed over though....

If they did it after Sandy Hook don't know why they themselves are announcing it today. Walmart stopped selling assault weapons in 2015.

Because they stopped selling assault weapons at their main stores... and then turned around and started selling them at their smaller stores.

I don't think it matters too much, most guns are bought at local stores. But at least someone is trying to do something. Couple of airlines pulled out of their sponsorship deals with the NRA, Georgia tried to tell Delta that they were gonna pull there tax break, but I really don't think the state can afford to lose the revenue that Delta brings in. Hell their conservative neighbor Alabama is willing to welcome Delta with open arms.

But at some point people are going to realize that "assault weapons" aren't necessarily much different in form from other guns....

They're buckling under pressure to protect their businesses, which may or may not backfire. It's naïve to think that they're either altruistic or that their actions will actually do anything to prevent these shootings.

Walmart is always going to be fine regardless of any kind of pressure, they are Walmart. *** is more at risk, but seeing as how they already put their competition out of business, they should be ok.

Twitter users only spend money either at Walmart or Popeyes. Any business that caves to losers posting boycott hashtags on Twitter makes a really stupid mistake.
