Must have been what Putin ordered her to do. I can't believe I ever considered supporting the Green Party at one time. What a fucking disgrace

I obviously place the direct blame on the fascists for being fascists but you have to understand how excruciating it is to see people who are supposedly on the same side as you spend over a year playing stupid games and continuing to play them when the inevitable result comes. And on top of that, as a gay black man, I had to experience the joy of watching one of the immediate hottakes from the election be that standing up for minorities was the reason why everything went to shit.
It's kind of difficult to fight fascists when your own house is a mess.
Pathetic.

Graham and McCain have no balls if they vote for Tillerson in the official confirmation.
Trump also takes six years to finish his tweets.

The second tweet is here and it's fucking incoherent as shit.

Thanks, Obama. Still getting mileage. From #bothsides.

Here's two doomsday scenarios for the GOP. Assuming Trump continues to be this terrible politically, just not policy wise.
Democrat's take back the Senate in 2018 and come close or actually win the House. Paul Ryan gets knocked off his perch, a more Trump friendly Speaker is chosen if the GOP holds on.
By 2020, Trump is around 20-25% in polling. That's actually a dangerous number for the GOP. If he actually drops to Hollande-level numbers, then he can be desposed fairly easy.
But, if he still has support of 60-65% of the GOP, two bad things can happen -
1. Trump runs again and barely pulls out the nomination.
2. Trump (or more accurately, Bannon et al) realize he'll lose renomination and instead runs under the new American Pride Party of whatever. Gets 15-20% of the vote in the general election, Democrat wins in a landslide.
Or maybe this is all a smokescreen and Americans are actually fascists.

Normally I don't try to rationalize the thought process of a demented idiot but I do remember him saying approximately that we shouldn't have gone in, but we did, and now we should stay. Because ISIS, oil, etc. You can rest assured that Rex wants to implement neocolonialist policies there, too.
I recall similar ideas being floated during 2015 concerning 2016.

Especially one who has a prior history of opposing a POTUS of his own party because you pissed him off.

Will McCain sink to Paul Ryan fuckboi levels? Lets find out!
The funny thing is that this is his last term, so he certainly has nothing to lose. Would be sad if guy with a career reputation for being a maverick spent the end of his career eating shit

We should have made bets how long it would be until he attacked Lindsey Graham: we all knew it was going to happen eventually.

Flynn's son.
Also, I hate Giuliani more than any other Republican on Earth, truly, but you're misrepresenting what he said.
That is not in any way the same thing that you said he said.
I think his last tweet is more of a threat than a warning. He is most likely telling them to do exactly what he wants or he will send the US to war.

a) If you read the whole statement rather than pieces, it's clear that a Muslim ban was the goal, the means were through less blatantly offensive factors. It doesn't get more obvious than Trump saying he would prioritize religious minorities (read: Christians) in these countries.
b) There's nothing factual about those countries being more dangerous to US territory than other countries left off the executive order.

Look, she's just looking out for #1. Somebody's going to have the lead the Vichy Opposition after Trump outlaws the Democratic party.
Blame the DNC for cheating Bernie!
The political left really does need to stop fighting among themselves. But more than that, they need to pull in the actual conservatives and the actual libertarians into the Democratic party. A coalition to reform the constitution because this bullshit isn't working. We can all go back to fighting about taxes and whatever else after American democracy is saved.
Republicans are afraid to break ranks with their party, and be left as political outcasts. Perhaps Democrats could welcome them into their party so that they might finally have the balls to stand up to Trump.

WaPo: Koch network condemns Trump ban on refugees and immigrants

Right about Flynn's son being the one who tweeted.
As for Giuliani, come on. The intent and context is clearly there.
Do thes people even know what the First Amendment consists of? How were these journalists taking away his First Amendment rights?

Okay
What;s really going on here? Politically?
We know this isn't about national security, otherwise Egypt and Saudi would be first on that list. Pakistan too, which offers us no economic value.
Is this really punishment for these countries not taking their prisoners back?

Trump has business interests in the countries not listed. That's probably the only reason they aren't included.

So is this empty pandering to his constituents?
I don't think it's that planned out.
This is the Muslim ban that we've all known about. That Trump campaigned on. He started with these seven countries, and likely to get some cover from the "blame Obama" excuse. But these countries are just the start.
It's him being a racist fuckhead but not wanting to lose money.

Yep, everytime someone asks an administration official, they pivot to say maybe they will add more after the 90 day review is up

Trump LOVES the lifestyle millions of Muslims lead. He has touted their economic success as a leading contributor to his vision for America ("Even their poorest live like Kings" and "Look at their airports."). He does business there and has for over two decades. He has several business partners. I cannot reconcile that he hates Muslims. I can reconcile that he would throw them under a bus to throw his ignroant supporters a bone to gnaw at (in of itself an inherently racist act).
I don't know that he puts more countries on the list. I think this was theatre just to appease racists voters while protecting his interests and the interests of the Arab nations we have dealings with.
If this was about National Security, Saudi would be the first fucking name out of Trump and Guilliani's mouth.
Jill Stein is a literal piece of shit.
Dumb tweet, but Obama did bomb muslim countries a lot. So saying Obamas bombing of muslim countries is inhumane is not wrong, but what's wrong is comparing it to this ban.
That's totally the same as a muslim ban, totally the same. Cone on son. Come on.
I added more to the post.

I don't think the 90 day "review" will ever be up.
If anything with even the vague stench of terrorism happens within these 90 days, watch shit get real.

Dude will say anything to get confirmed. Don't trust a word of it. "See, look, I have my own brain and can think on my own! I don't just take orders!" etc.

He just wanted to have a nice comfy kleptocracy and maybe go on a double date with Putin-sempai!
Yep.

Good. Because the defense really needs to hold here.
This weekend was a test to see how much this administration could get away with. There was a really great Twitter thread that made the rounds right after the election about how full-on authoritarianism happens in small, escalating steps. I wish I could find it, because it described really well what we're seeing now.
