It’s hard to know if Trump is just spreading chaff to distract people, or if he’s really this deranged. The Washington Post reports that, during a Senate meeting to discuss the Neil Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination, Trump went off-script, complained that he only lost New Hampshire because of the thousands of people bused from Massachusetts to vote illegally. He didn’t even suggest there was evidence of […]
Last evening, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided homes and businesses. While they didn’t release any information, ICE denied reports they were detaining 100 people. Their official spokesperson admitted the raids happened, but insisted they only targeted “individuals who pose a risk to our communities.” They admitted today that this wasn’t true. Advocates and lawyers said that ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents detained […]
The New York Times reports that Michael Flynn was talking with the Russians starting well before the election. The reports say that Flynn wasn’t directly promising that Trump would rescind Obama’s sanctions, but it was a clear implication. Worse, this call was only one of a series of calls and contacts prior to Trump’s inauguration.
The official Republican Party Twitter account published this today: We stand with POTUS. Do you? #9thcircuit — GOP (@GOP) February 10, 2017 Presumably, this is in response to the 9th Circuit’s decision on the restraining order blocking the Muslim Ban. The polite version is that they’re supporting Trump in his lawsuit. The more accurate version is that they see President Trump is in opposition to […]
Late yesterday, there were rumors that Michael Flynn, who would become Trump’s National Security Adviser, contacted the Russians prior to Trump’s election to discuss sanctions. If true, he would have committed a crime. You may not negotiate for the US unless (and until) you’re the President.  That would have been undercutting the current administration.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the stay on Trump’s Muslim Travel Ban. They rejected the government’s arguments about why the President and his President Orders were above court review. Trump’s response was “We’ll see you in court,” as if that phrase would strike fear into his enemy’s hearts. When asked about the Supreme Court, he seemed unaware that it was the only […]
In a private meeting between Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, the Senator pressed Gorsuch for his reaction to Trump’s attacks against the judiciary. Gorsuch tentatively admitted it was “demoralizing” and “disheartening.” The Senator then publicized those comments widely. This was a fantastically watery response levered out of a nominee in a purportedly private conversation. The press breathlessly characterize it was […]
When Trump continues to strew new chaos every day, it’s hard to pretend it’s an accident. Today’s designated chaos is Trump defending his daughter’s financial welfare: My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
