In February 2017, Eric and Don Jr. flew to Dubai to open a Trump-branded golf club. On the Dubai trip, the Secret Service paid more than $200,000, including about $125,000 for airfare, $75,000 for hotel rooms and more than $15,000 for “other” expenses including cell phones, car service and other transportation. The business trip cost taxpayers significantly more than the $73,000 in Secret Service cost for a 2018 trip to Dubai for the Trump sons to attend the wedding of the daughter of a business partner.

That same month, Eric Trump traveled to the Dominican Republic to potentially relaunch a failed Trump-branded resort project. When compared to the bill taxpayers were stuck with from Dubai, the Dominican Republic trip was a bargain at just more than $20,000* for airfare, hotel rooms, auto rental and additional expenses.

Jeff Sessions announces new 'Religious Liberty Task Force' at Department of Justice
The US Department of Justice has created a “religious liberty task force” to help implement the Trump administration’s new religious guidance.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned that the country had become "less hospitable to people of faith” as he announced its formation at a Justice Department Religious Liberty Summit.

"A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom,” he said. “There can be no doubt. This is no little matter. It must be confronted and defeated."

He added that it would help Justice Department officials uphold new religious liberty guidance in the cases they bring, the arguments they make in court and the policies they adopt.

Issued in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order last year, the guidelines prohibited the government from punishing anyone who acted “in accordance with one’s religious beliefs”.

Advocates warned at the time that these stringent protections could become a “license to discriminate” against LGBTQ people.

The task force will be co-chaired by Assistant Attorney General Beth Williams and acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio. Mr Panuccio previously represented supporters of a failed attempt to ban same-sex marriage in California.

Responding to the task force’s formation, the Human Rights Campaign criticised Mr Sessions and the White House for “sanctioning discrimination against LGBTQ people”.

It also accused Mr Sessions of standing “shoulder-to-shoulder with anti-LGBTQ extremists,” in what was likely a reference to the Alliance Defending Freedom – an anti-LGBTQ organisation that backed the summit.

The advocacy group's legal director Sarah Warbelow said: “Over the last 18 months, Donald Trump, Mike Pence and Jeff Sessions have engaged in a brazen campaign to erode and limit the rights of LGBTQ people in the name of religion."

In his speech, Mr Sessions highlighted the “plight” of Jack Phillips, a conservative Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding because of his religious beliefs.


The US Supreme Court ruled last month that he could not be forced to bake the cake.

Mr Sessions also alluded to an Obama-era policy that required employers to include contraceptive coverage in their employee health care plans.

The attorney general said that the US had "seen nuns ordered to buy contraceptives”. The Trump administration has exempted religious groups from the contraceptive coverage requirement.

Women’s rights groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-choice America also criticised the guidelines and task force.

“Make no mistake – this ‘Religious Liberty Task Force’ is another extremist attempt to deny people the care and services that they need,” NARAL tweeted. “The Trump admin is out to refuse abortion care, birth control access, and LGBTQ-inclusive care to the American people.”

A religious liberty task force to help enforce Trump's new religious guidance?

The fuck.

Here is why I do not like this. First off Cohen was a loyal soldier so what Rudy said initially was right on, and after cohen flipped like a scumbag by betraying oaths, his client etc. Rudy has now said something else that makes total sense based on what has happened. See people like you are the same people who get mad when political people change their minds and people like you make them afraid to change their mind and maybe say I was wrong and my opinion changed because then we get to hear HYPOCRITE!! blah blah blah. Shit I am the first one to applaud someone for admitting they were wrong, or even having a change of heart for whatever reason.

What if Cohen "flipping" was him admitting he was wrong and having a change of heart?

DOES NOT COMPUTE

That would be just fine if he did it on his own accord and wasnt forced by threats and jail time etc. Youre a good flipper, or at least you guys try to be and your flips usually suck and make sense only to you as that is your way of justifying things and helping you all sleep at night lol.

It's hilarious that we're all bent out of shape about people saying stuff online that we disagree with.

Maybe we should start teaching people how to critically think instead of trying to play nanny with internet information.

It might prevent anti-Trump trolls from stinking up Trump threads with nonsense.
