No, of course you didn't use those exact words ("the sky is falling"), but your saying "Well this is B.S, I guess science and facts are 'offensive' to the trump administration.", when your own link said the order had already been rescinded, was as-good-as, IMO, because any cause for alarm, had already PASSED. I mean, look it, you had sheeple on this thread, who didn't read the article, EITHER, following-along right behind you.
Also, this business of "things so far aren't looking 'better' under trump", is seemingly throwing-out the baby with the bath water and is RIDICULOUS, IMO----ESPECIALLY, since he did NOT send the order, and you would've known that, had you read your own link!!
Yes facts are offensive to the Trump administration. Why do you think Kellyanne had to come up with the term "alternative facts?"
Yes, "alternative facts" was a bit unfortunate (I heard her say it, live, as I have a standing date with Chuck Todd ["Meet the Press"], every Sunday), because it has become a bit of a meme, now (like, "basket of deplorables"), and I really feel what she meant was: "Here's another way of looking at it"----and, I DON'T agree with Chuck that "alternative facts" = lies, necessarily. I mean, look it, it is a fact that tomatoes are, in fact, FRUIT----it is ALSO a fact, that most people refer to them as vegetables, and they are located in the vegetable section, in grocery stores; NEITHER of those things are not "not fact", it's just another way of looking at it.
Why did Spicer spend his first press conference lying through his teeth?
I don't believe he DID----because on the very same episode of "Meet the Press", that I watched (that Kellyanne Conway was on), Tom Barrack (Inaugural Committee Chairman) said it was HIS fault that Spicer / President Trump, thought the way they did:
http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/tom-barrack-crowd-size-controversy-starts-with-me-860174915688
Trump still can't let go of the FACT that his inauguration crowd was dwarfed by Obama's inauguration or the Women's March.
I don't know that it IS a "fact". I've read / heard that President Obama's inauguration crowd was, like, 1.4 million, and I've heard everything from 800,000 - 1.2 million, in regard to President Trump's crowd (and only 500,000, for the Women's March)----I wouldn't exactly call that "dwarfed", per se (even if it was only 800,000).
The picture of the President Trump's inauguration crowd that has been floating-around the Internet----and, has been posted, HERE----is, quite possibly, IMO, NOT a "proper" representation of the crowd (INTENTIONALLY, IMO). The picture is looking TOWARD where President Trump is, and is from WAAAAAY back, on the mall. ANOTHER picture of the crowd, viewed from over President Trump's shoulder, is a better representation, IMO, and I feel confident that the picture is real (IOW, not intentionally misleading, as the aforementioned one, is, IMO), because it is the one that was given to President Trump (he showed it, during the ABC interview, that I watched, the other night).
Now, grant it, there seems to be a few people-less areas, all-the-way-back, as it gets closer to the monument----but, again, I wouldn't call it "dwarfed". Don't get me wrong, I must admit that I'm getting a little tired of President Trump talking about it----but, look it..... If he is, indeed, an Aspie (as I and others suspect), Aspies LIVE-for FACT, and if President Trump believes it's a fact that his crowd was, at least, as big as President Obama's, then he's gonna fight for that----look at all the locking-horns that takes-place on HERE, with NEITHER President Trump supporters, or Hillary Clinton supporters willing to give, even an INCH (generally speaking, of course); and, yes, none of us are running the country, but President Trump is only human, like the rest of us.
Why did Trump call Climate Change a Chinese hoax when 97% of scientists say it is real and humans are driving it?
I've heard this, before, that President Trump said this----but, because *I* don't recall hearing him say it, MYSELF (and, can't watch a video of it, because I have limited bandwidth), I can't address it.
Considering everything that has been said and done in the last two months the statement "things so far aren't looking 'better' under trump" is a perfectly reasonable one to make.
I didn't take what she said as regarding "the last two months", because she said: "under trump"----and "under trump" has only been in effect, for the last SEVEN DAYS (I don't regard "President-Elect", as being "under trump"); and I DON'T agree that it's reasonable. What in God's name are these people, who share this sentiment, gonna do----like, are they gonna be "crying" EVERY SINGLE DAY, for the next 4 years. It's a terrible waste of energy, IMO, because we truly DON'T know how this situation, is gonna pan-out----and, if (if, If, IF) he turns-out to be one of the best presidents we've ever had (anything's possible, IMO), I will NOT be able to get ENOUGH of laughing at everybody, going so hog-wild-ridiculous, right now.

A lot of those people have lived in America for decades, paid taxes, worked hard, and generally contributed to society. To then say "well, you don't have the right paperwork so you don't get a say" is, to my mind, a perversion of liberty.
Similar problems in the UK, so I'm not throwing stones (although we're a bit better when it comes to local elections). Let's start granting the right to vote based on residency, not what it says on your passport. I'd rather have someone living here but not a citizen voting than a citizen who's upped sticks to Spain or Australia.

Because they are NOT Americans. That is all I am going to say about that.
