Makes sense given all the typical punching bags Trump included in the tweet. It's gonna be a long week.

Beat EviLore at pool.
London Labour MPs/candidates @wesstreeting and @DavidLammy have called for Donald Trump's UK state visit to be cancelled. Expect more.

Good shit. I hope Trump continues to hurt May and her band of a-holes.

I am shock, SHOCKED, by Trump's inability to shut the fuck up and put down Twitter for even a couple days.
I can't even imagine what it's like this morning for the WH legal team.

Trump's mad at Khan because he's muslim. It's really that simple.
My theory is that he confuses Sadiq Khan with Khizr Khan.

It's like he thinks everyone with the last name of Khan is out to get him!

Checks out. Especially given Trump's latest statements concerning the Muslim ban.

To be fair I would be suspicious of a US citizen who criticized me during my presidential bid suddenly becoming mayor of London. It's a conspiracy!

I don't now why people are freaking out about this. It's just like when Tony Blair called Giuliani a schoolyard bitch right after 9/11

Amazing.
The DoJ could have in theory elevated the original order to the SC. Maybe the thought they would have more cover to argue the second one since it was "revised"
Trump fire bombing that (already thin) cover directly from his phone this morning.
Edit: Also clear trump never liked the revised ban and got sold on it by his handlers that it would pass muster in the "watered down" form.

There's usually distraction fuckery every week.
There's always distraction fuckery in a week with Congressional hearings.
He's got an entire team now entirely devoted to establishing acts of distruction fuckery.
Always keep this in mind.
Oh, I'm bettin' she's reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal glad to have held hands with him now. Too bad Corbyn seems too much a head-in-the-clouds twit to take advantage of it from a leadership position though.

Trump comes out for an infrastructure speech. Starts with comments about the VA. Yes, really.
...Yeah, it's pretty clear this crowd has been coached to be as overly complementary as possible, including a standing ovation for electronic medical records.

I think I'd rather have that over listening to him discuss how he plans on privatizing as much federally controlled infrastructure as possible...

All the complementary clapping in the world isn't going to rub the stench of this week off of him. Expect everything to get more and more erratic as Thursday looms.

I really don't see how his tweets could be excluded from any court proceeding involving his EOs. Things like AHCA, sure, but his comments on his own order are kinda relevant to the intended scope of the order!

I think we're gonna see some fireworks in the committees investigating Trump this week. Expect many more unhinged tweets. His filter goes off, strategically or otherwise, when he wants to distract from stuff like this. Covfefe
Trump has a grudge against Khan because he attacked the travel ban.
Doesn't Congress have a say in that?

I went the other way and interpreted this as his admission that the SC was going to strike down the ban no matter what so he might as well go down in a manner that wins him points with his base.
Never subscribe strategy to him. He's just mad that the courts are getting in his way, and mad that he listened to his advisors when they told him we have to change this to get past the courts. Also mad that he's probably been told to police his language about the ban by the courts.

I think WilsonGT should be banned for his homophobic comments. Outrageous! The snowflake shows his true colors!
Sad! He must think he is the queen gay in the village!
There is precisely one thing that nations could do that would have a meaningful effect on Terrorism and that is to actually hold Saudi Arabia to its efforts to prevent its own citizens from funding Terrorism as a religious hobby. And Corbyn is one of very few politicians who has actually stated it that nakedly. It's a populist message and he could actually succeed to some extent with it, but not sure how voters feel about long term solutions. They like quick actions.
Seems dumb, given that all of the other courts have said they are relevant

Except there is precedent before for intent of the law to be used in a ruling. Intent is what saved the ACA from being killed by a miswording if I recall correctly.
We have to combat this. How can we? Education? How can the monastery take over the country so easily? In 20 years, will we truly just be all nodding in agreement to our leader with a state run media telling us so?
This stuff makes me so depressed. I don't speak another language and I can't just move to Germany or something. It honestly makes me want to give up on life altogether and just stop trying to "make it" or so anything. Not that I am already....
Honestly at this point I can't tell if he's simply an idiot or if he's just sacrificing his EO to his base knowing it won't pass or SC won't bother but you might as well look like you're going down swinging.
The both could be true at the same time, I personally don't see how SCOTUS even hears the case without having Trump trample all over it leading up to and after the case. What is he gonna say if they take the case up and throw his travel ban out with the trash? That the SCOTUS is now wrong? I can see the tweet now
"SCOTUS decision is absolutely horrible for the US, we NEED LAW AND ORDER!"
Maybe a slight at his own justice to boot.

And they are rapidly losing their viewership since the election.

I mean, bombing terrorists hasn't exactly been a short term project and it has yet to yield any results. In a couple years we could have soldiers in Afghanistan that were born after 9/11. I think that would resonate a lot! Especially when the message is "Instead of more bombs to line the pockets of Raytheon we're going to build schools and bridges here at home."

If Gorsuch supports him: "liberal dems on the SC refuse to protect your children from scary browns !!"
If Gorsuch goes against him he goes apeshit and we start hearing that Trump is looking into how to remove a SC justice

It looks like Boise and Ketchum are on board, which is good. When I move back I'll have to try to get Moscow's city government on board.
