Too bad more federal officials didn't do the same with King Obamba.

This is why I don't worry about a Reichtag event or a nuclear strike on a country whose leader bans the sale of Ivanka's products or other such silliness you read about on Salon or Slate.

BDKKKJMU is delighted to have fellow white supremacists in the WHITE House, and hopes to own a few negros soon.

This doesn't bode well for the "dismantle the government" project

or the "start the apocalypse" project either, for that matter

But as I've said many many times before-

Presidents don't really move the needle that much... they just say they did- and if friendly, Congress plays the Greek chorus and backs up claims of having moved heaven and earth .... even though nothing of significance has been done

I think the only things of consequence that are going to happen in the next 4 years is there might be one more SCOTUS appointment, and southern border crossings will stay down

BTW I see that there's an immigration bill being pushed that has 0% chance of becoming law...

Trump and a few congresspeople are crowing about it, and opponents are pulling their hair out

Trump will say 3 or 4 things about the Immigration Bill that will be patently false
and kill the bill himself by lying about it or not actually knowing anything at all about it
Example: See Healthcare

:nod:

and over time
Being a pathological liar has consequences...

The bill is a non-starter even without Trump in the equation

It all but eliminates family based petitioning (some of which SHOULD be eliminated, but not all) - fam based immigration is one of those things that once you start it, you will NEVER reduce it)

It also requires English - which I am only slightly in favor of but mostly indifferent.... (many countries like France and Australia require language ability to immigrate)- it will be made into a racial issue and therefore a partisan one, and nobody is nuking the filibuster over it

So.... dead in the water

Trump may not do much as President, but I sure hope the electorate is paying attention, because more than a couple are getting caught talking one way and voting another. McCain is a perfect example of campaigning on repealing Obamacare and then voting no, only because he wanted to give Trump the big FU.

Now you hear them all saying that they "work for the people" so they don't have to follow Trump. Well, you can damn well bet the next person in line is ready to pull out their stance versus their vote in the next election.

My whole hope with Trump was that Congress would view it as a shot across the bow and start actually doing something for fear of being voted out. Only time with tell.

No no no...I've been assured by my nieces that McCain only voted no to steal the thunder from the two FEMALE conks who ALSO voted no so a MAN could claim he killed the repeal...very important to all the male sexists out there, apparently, that McCain get credit and not a female.

Obama came off as a rational adult. Trump does not.

Remember when conservatives (and a few liberals) used to applaud gridlock? :ohno:

See my thread on how the Relublican Party is no longer conservative. :ohno:

Another take down by a seemingly reasoned journalist, UNI88's boy and Ivytalk classmate, Steve Chapman.

Oooof! :lol:
What do the directors of the Transportation Security Administration, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI have in common?

Easy question, you may think: They are all important law enforcement officials with roles in combating terrorism. But at the moment, they have nothing in common. Why? Because they don't exist.

The jobs, you see, are vacant. Each has to be filled by presidential appointment, and Donald Trump has felt no urgency in filling them. Only this week did he even offer names for the TSA and FBI.

That is not his only lapse when it comes to protecting Americans from danger. In January, 47 U.S. attorneys resigned, and in March, he fired the remaining 46 federal prosecutors. So far, the president has yet to submit a nomination for any of the vacancies

The people who voted for Trump knew they would be getting a disrupter, a critic of business-as-usual and an enemy of political correctness. Many also realized they were electing a bully and a braggart. But they may not have known what they were getting above all else: an incompetent.........

There is no other way to explain most of what he has done in the White House. His most formidable opponent couldn't do half as much to foil Trump as Trump himself has done.

His travel policy was rushed out, blocked by courts, withdrawn, revised and blocked again. Administration lawyers, who hope to convince the Supreme Court it had no unconstitutional anti-Muslim motives, have been undercut by his tweets, which convey the opposite.

So flagrant is the contradiction that some analysts suspect he has a hidden logic. They speculate that Trump might prefer to lose his ban so he could blame the courts if there were a U.S. terrorist attack carried out by foreigners.

Let me suggest that they are overthinking this. Trump has no record of being deviously clever. He has a record of acting rashly out of ignorance, fury and hubris. He makes needless statements that harm his legal case because he's a self-destructive oaf.
