Sooooo….about that cyberbullying campaign?
Again he talks about a woman bleeding. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Did you notice that, too? I think he's weirdly fascinated with such things.
No wonder America's reputation in the world is sinking fast. From a high of 64% at the end of Obama's terms, to a low of 49% approval now.
I hope he never stops tweeting. They are a window into his mind.
WOTD: Conservatism – From Vox.com
It turns out the liberal caricature of conservatism is correct
…
Well, yeah… I know Republicans have a thing against all things Obama, but these health care bills go way beyond that; they reflect the true thinking of the majority of the party now. That, and the acquiescence to the massive dismantling going on in various departments of the government… This is a party that's bought in wholesale to the ideas that government can't do good (except when subsidizing business), that poor and disabled people are lazy mooches, and that the Laffable Curve is good all the way to the bitter end.
Trump stinks!
Unanimous Supreme Court decision upholds President Trumps immigration ban.
Kate's law is passed and Democrats vote against it. Please continue to resist.
Thank you President Trump!
It wasn't unanimous, Trump is too stupid to know what "per
curium" means. Plus, he lost half the ban and may lose it all when they decide on substsnce. Thank you, founding fathers!
(per curium just means for the court, used on preliminary rulings like this. It doesn’t have signed opinions and dissents, being traditionally unsigned. Vote was reportedly 7-2 and 6-3
Thank you, Putrid Prune, for confirming that you don't know diddly-squat about constitutional law.
Everything he ever needed to know, the Pfruit learned from Limbaugh . . .
Who were the judges that voted against the travel ban?
Not one judge voted "against the ban" in total. It's complicated. The court voted 9-0 to review the ban in October, and allow a very limited version of the ban to be implemented now.
The only part of the travel ban which was allowed to be implemented banned adults from the 6 countries without a close personal relationship in the US. There's going to be some haggling and back and forth about defining what such a relationship is. Right now, it excludes grandparents and grandchildren, which seems absurd and punitive.
All of the judges voted FOR this very limited compromise on the Muslim travel ban. Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch were "in partial dissent," but allowed their votes to be counted in the 9-0 decision allowing that limited portion of the travel ban to be implemented until the court reviews in October.
Per Shear and Liptak of the New York Times:
So you should restrain yourself from your victory lap. As the Atlantic's Garrett Epps wrote,'
9-0, I think the victory lap is in order. Thanks for clarifying this for the others.
A historical example of what this "victory" means:
My mother emigrated from a country with which the United States was at war. Austria, in WWII, was a federated state of Germany after the Anschluss.
There was a religious test on refugees – only a certain quota of "Hebrew" refugees from European countries were let in to the US. Consequently, some were sent back and died in the camps. Trump's travel ban is also a "religious test" and a "country test". That is why it has been turned back by lower courts again and again.
Had this travel ban been in effect then, my mother would still have been allowed to pass Lady Liberty, as she had relatives here; but her grandmother would not. I would have been allowed in, as the daughter; but my children, her grandchildren, would not.
It's pretty likely that these provisions will be litigated and overturned.
The parts that the Court allowed to go forward are the ones your big crybaby in chief called "politically correct" and "watered down". So now, he and you want to take your little victory lap for the PC watered down travel ban, you go right ahead.
It's all going to be reviewed in October, anyway.
Grandparents?! How many grandparents have had to take over raising grandkids because their parents were killed in these wars?
"Victory lap in order………." I think Prune is on the wrong thread. He ought to be over on the Gardner protestor thread commending the Denver P.D. for hauling out all of those "crippled losers" (as Moderatus might say).
Remember….there are lies, damn lies, and the stuff that comes out of Passionate Prune's mouth.
Republicans know as well as anyone that Trump is basically a worthless buffoon. If they could just get his autopen, they could dispense with him altogether:
