The whole point of all this is that it distracts the media and the people from the other shit he’s pulling. You know, like handing the US education system over to for-profit companies, handing your health over to mega-corps, granting monopolies to agricultural conglomerates, etc. etc.
Just a side thought; if Trump were not the president, he wouldn’t qualify for a security clearance to handle the sort of information that’s routinely presented to him. Makes youi feel secure, doesn’t it?
There are more than enough thoroughly ticked off and Woke Americans to take on Medicare “reform,” ACA repeal, and DeVos’s corruption and incompetence, and still have folks to protest #MuslimBan.
What time (Eastern time) did this tweet happen. Because sunset today, Friday, was at 6 pm in D.C. So i wonder whether the reversal happened when Jared and Ivanka left.
To all self-proclaimed “journalists” who do this lazy-ass nonsense of stacking up tweets on their web pages. If I wanted to read the opinions of slack-brained clods on Twitter I would go to Twitter. Is it some kind of scam? Does clicking the scroll bar enough times to FINALLY move down past the Twitter spew somehow drive up the site’s hit count? If you are a professional journalist, your job is to discover things and to report them, not to parrot noise. Do your damn job. If you are not a professional journalist, quit trying to pretend that cutting and pasting a bunch of other peoples’ uninformed opinions makes you one. It makes you a talentless hack.
Your frustration is misplaced, fellow mutant. If you’re here for the journalism, I’ll remind you that this site refers to itself as “zine, blog and directory of wonderful things.” I know the lines of journalism have blurred lately, but if you want journalism, read another site, or at least try some of the ones that are linked from here.
“SEE YOU IN COURT”? Buddy, we took you to court, and won, in a bunch of different districts. And you appealed the 9th Circuit’s TRO and lost there too. And the current tantrum you’re throwing by sending La Migra after anybody vaguely foreign-looking isn’t making you less of a loser.
But this isn’t ready to go to the Supreme Court - the appeal wasn’t on the merits of the case itself, but only a procedural thing, trying to overturn the Temporary Restraining Order that the court issued to get the Customs and Border thugs to stop harassing people with valid papers while the real case gets addressed. Even so, the Appeals Court spanked Trump pretty hard, explaining N different ways that his position is defective and has no reasonable expectation of winning (so no justification for overturning the TRO) plus explaining that his lawyers didn’t present even a vaguely plausible argument that The Country Would Be Harmed by allowing people legally allowed to come to the US to come to the US.
I’ll see your Trump-University-settlement-flip-flop and raise you an I-have-a-new-health-insurance-scheme-all-worked-out-and-we’re-going-to-repeal-and-replace-in-one-day.
