I'd like to see the faces of all the people that said "Trump is bad but Hillary is worse" :)

I mean, the mad idiots that actually believes in him for real are probably still by his side, but those 25%-something that are closer to the middle but went with Trump; imagine their faces by now. Priceless.

What's the deal with this one? Did the NYT apologize for something?

They're deplorables and I hope they carry that guilt for the rest of their lives. There was never a point where the two were even remotely comparable.

I actually havent seen the latest season of House of Cards, but it just hit me:

The whole TV show kinda loses its edge when the actual president is way, way worse and more exaggerated than the fictonal president they made up to be just that.

Some of them are coming to the realization that they fucked up, but others seem to be doubling down.

Trump just stop. Stop typing, stop talking, and stop pretending you understand the way the world works.

Just.Stop.

He can't. He is physically incapable of reacting to literally ANYTHING in anything but the absolute most petty, meaningless way he possibly can. His brain is all ratings and numbers. Anyone who attacks him must be attacked by those vectors only.

I really wish twitter would delete his account and the POTUS one

ugh

Let him have the POTUS one, it's just his staff tweeting. He's causing international incidents with his personal one, from an unsecured phone last I heard.

this was an amazing piece of news to see today. I'm so glad that the law types are starting to say 'fucking hang on' to his bullshit religious decrees.

If he repeals the Johnson amendment it's going to be absolutely vital for the judges to smash him as hard as possible and as fast as possible. Hell, half the shit he's already done should already be in court.

Hope they start a harsh tone from the get go with this and take no shit. Congress has already proven they won't do shit.

Most of those people are still saying "I'm sure people are just being babies and overreacting. I heard Obama did all the same things, people just need to give him a chance. Ugh, why is everybody still taking about politics? I just want to discuss celebrity gossip but even the celebrities are talking about politics. Ugh, paying attention is haaaaard! I'm just gonna sick my head in the sand and ignore it all."

I just don't 100% believe Trump or Bannon really came out with this order expecting it will go through, that it won't be overturned. I wouldn't be surprised if they do all this BS just to create outrage, work the news and legal system, and keep people glued to their screens. We love to think they fumble and have no clue, but they might as well be doing this just to waste everyone's time while they pack ever more money into their coffers - all the while saving face with their hardcore supporters ("hey, we really, really tried!").

Are USA a so called democracy?

We got "officially" degraded to a "flawed democracy" actually.

The checks and balances are in place but a huge part of the problem is they were largely intended as a "hey you can't do that" so sane people would just...not do that. The checks are not used to harshly checking a president who simply does things he cannot do, so they're majorly hesitating on dropping the hammer. Plus one check (congress) idiotically thinks keeping him in is to their benefit (even though impeaching trump means they get Pence instead.)

What happens with this is gonna be a very interesting sign of things to come. Will the US go full fascist or not? Find out next time on "Oh no he didn't!"

Basically I think they might be evil money grubbers rather than just evil incompetents.

Just a thought... perhaps even if this is overturned completely and shut down Trump can still claim that he kept his promises. He is going through that checklist one by one and doing every single one.

My guess, in a business, cut and dry decisions like these have an impact, but the company best interests will always be kept as the highest priority. In politics, things just flat out affect people, and there are laws and the constitution. He just can't do that, and im not sure whether he'll realize it or not short term. It doesn't help that he despises criticism and people going against him through the law. So he just throws a temper tantrum and will try to find a way to fire that person going against. Or bend the law and exploit it to get his way. Its pretty crazy tbh.

I look forward to the publication of the multi-volume "Tweets from President Trump" years from now. Our own stupefying version of the Little Red Book.

Talented post-modern writers will likely weave the tweets into long-form poetry or even a novel.

Homeland Security Fail
Bill de Blasio ‏@NYCMayor

We've seen a president try to defy the judiciary before. His name was Richard Nixon. It didn't end well for him.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
One week in and Trump is already going ALL CAPS.

His stamina and mental state has to be questioned at this point.

Frank Underwood is just a powerhungry, scheming, amoral, murdering psychopath, but on actual policy he was never really that bad, at least not until he got pushed into a corner and forced to use rely on populism to maintain power.

Who actually writes that stuff? Since when is Homeland Security entitled to comment on decisions made by American jurisdiction? No one gives a flying fuck about what fucken HS thinks about this decision.
DHS is the agency in charge of entry procedures. They would need to comment on the ruling.
