He’s a fascist dictator who cares about nothing but advancing racist ideology, toxic anti-gay Christianity and corporate capitalism.

One of his very first acts of presidency was to get rid of the climate and LGTB pages on the white house website.

Brexit: MPs overwhelmingly back Article 50 bill

A bit of the article:

MPs have voted by a majority of 384 to allow Prime Minister Theresa May to get Brexit negotiations under way.

They backed the government’s European Union Bill, supported by the Labour leadership, by 498 votes to 114.

The bill now faces further scrutiny in the Commons and the House of Lords before it can become law.

So, today Kellyanne Conway said that they created the Muslim ban in response to the Bowling Green Massacre.

The thing is, there is no such thing as a “Bowling Green Massacre.” She made the whole thing up.

Do not believe anything the White House tells you.

Bowling Green Massacre was so horrible, it created a hole in the fabric of the universe and wiped itself from existence.

Expect a new judge in Seattle. The BBC are reporting the breaking news

A US judge in Seattle has issued a temporary nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s ban on travellers from seven mainly Muslim nations.

District Judge James Robart ruled against government lawyers’ claims that US states did not have the standing to challenge Mr Trump’s executive order.

Last week’s move by Mr Trump triggered mass protests and has resulted in confusion at US airports.

The State Department says 60,000 visas have since been revoked.

Seattle judge issues temporary nationwide block on President Trump’s ban on people from seven mainly Muslim nations

Reuters is leading this.

Call me simple but I find it incredible that US States are hiring attorneys to fight bans put in place by the US President and winning with claims of the ban by the US President being unconstitutional.

Never mind strange days, more like total f****d up days.

The construction of the United States works to the benefit of democracy. States rights have always been a highly debated issue. From the days of debated the existence of a national bank to the days of debating gay marriage, the country has always struggle to define how “united” the states are. 

Its funny (not really) that we once had states saying that another executive order was unconstitutional back when a man named Abe Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclomation. 

They days of Andrew Jackson and the trail of tears had backlash too. 

Even in the late 1700s southern state legislatures voted against tarifs on foreign imports in order to boost the northern economy. 

In Lincoln’s case, the states were wrong about slavery and he was right to use his executive power to prevail in the civil war. 

In Jackson’s case, it was terrible to dispell the Cherokee and Creek from my home state of Georgia despite them winning a court case that gave them right to that land. 

All I can say is I hope states rights can prevail against Trump and more states stand up against him.

Trump’s appeal to have the ban on his ban banned is booted out

The US federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration’s request to immediately reinstate a travel ban blocked by a federal judge on Friday.

It is immensely pleasing to see the American legal system working when put to the test by the actions of a total numpty.

LMLAO! The US Appeals Court has just UPHELD the ban on Trump’s Muslim ban! And his Supreme Court nominee told him to stop slagging off judges today. And he was slammed for using the POTUS account to slag off a company that didn’t want to sell his daughter’s tat anymore. Oh, and Kelly Anne Conway broke all the rules by trying to flog said tat on breakfast TV.

Yes, and Conway is going to be disciplined, Nordstrom stock is rising, and the first Trump impeachment papers were filed. All in all, a good day.

I’m worried that all this media drama, the flurry of activity, the incessant tweets, the bluster and bullshit is really smoke and mirrors designed to distract us from what’s actually going on in the shadows. All of the surface s**t, the apparent incompetence, I wonder if it’s all part of Steve Bannon’s master plan. I don’t put ANYTHING past that guy…

How would you know that, Expert Expert? It could mean “lavish” for all you know. Only little Ronny knows what the “L” stood for.

That’s my thought, though some may suggest it is for “large”.

An important thing to think about. For instance, he puts forward a ban on Muslims that is so inept it was bound to have courts kicking it into touch, but remember he also talked about putting Muslims and mosques under more surveillance during the campaign. The ban there was no way to avoid that becoming public knowledge, so use it to draw fire. Is anyone asking what he has tasked the CIA and FBI to do in relation with domestic Muslims. Are they as a community now facing hidden Executive Orders that may be deemed as unconstitutional as his travel ban if people knew about them?

I have little doubt that there are orders that have gone to those agencies under the veil of national security that may of our American friends will blanch at being done in their name when they come to light, as all these things always do.

Not that I was meaning for that to be disrespectful, but you don’t have to respect your elders when you are an elder yourself (like me). Also, I am a female.

It was a joke, LPG!

There is a winking George!

I know you are of the female persuasion!

Everything about it said joke.

I’m now off to punch myself in the face several times for not being obvious!

At least she doesn’t secretly call you Ronald McNasty and repaint your avatar to look like this.

Anyways, carrying on, I hope you guys realize that Trump isn’t like Hitler in the sense that he can’t just do as he pleases, everything has to go through congress first.

Maybe you should try posting more.
