I know I’m going to wear out that headline. Trump’s recent Executive Order to ban federal funds from any ‘Sanctuary City’ failed a court review. Decisively. The judge graded it quite poorly. Nobody was especially surprised. Sure, Trump’s a dingleberry, but more to the point, he’s deeply incompetent git. He didn’t do his homework, and it shows. Congressional actions are called ‘laws’ for a reason....
What next? Frighteningly, this is not a rhetorical question. President Donald Trump is looking into another self-inflicted disaster. His reaction in the past is to do something horrid as a distraction. It’s worked well for him up until now, but the nature of manipulation means that each distraction has to be bigger than the last. So what’s going wrong for Trump this week? First —...
Kind of explains things. The Daily KOS has an article that I think is worth attention, but before I give you the link, I have to include a quick warning: it’s not really as rabid as it sounds. The title (and bear with me) is “Open thread for night owls: How to deal with a psychopath”. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Probably. First,...
Just in case someone was confused by my last post. Mar-A-Lago Gates As many sources have reported (was the Miami Herald first?), Trump met with two former Colombian presidents last weekend at Mar-A-Lago. They’d come to his club as members, or with another member. We don’t know how much Trump’s organization got, but Trump already said that anyone can purchase a membership at Mar-A-Lago. All...
Really, this isn’t hard. I may scream if I read another major media story about ‘possible’ conflicts of interest in the Trump family. Yes, there are conflicts of interest. This isn’t a question. You cannot serve two masters. If you work for, say, both the federal government and a clothing company, those two entities cannot have the same interests in every situation. That’s what the...
Unexpected, sorta-good news.. . ALT_Immigration (@ALT_USCIS) is a Twitter site that comments on the US Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS). They’re fun to read. After Trump’s inauguration, his administration famously shut down the official National Park Service twitter feed for continuing to say things that were… well, true. That left a void. To fill it, lots of people set up a bunch of ALT accounts that began...
Don’t you hate reminders of what you said when you were a child? Back in December, 2015, way back when Candidate Donald Trump first started bragging about banning Muslims from the USA, the Washington Post wrote that Ryan, McConnell denounce Trump plan to bar Muslims from the U.S: Republicans on Capitol Hill strongly denounced a proposal from Donald Trump — their party’s frontrunner in the...
Why do we pretend Trump has a strategy? Trump hasn’t demonstrated any strategy beyond his own self-interest. Why do we insist on pretending there’s still a Trump Doctrine that he’s kept out of sight? If that’s true, he’s hidden it fantastically well. Trump is simply a big, greasy sack of publicity stunts and campaign applause lines. That’s it. Every action Trump takes contradicts what he’s...
