    Well, who knows what he actually believes... given that he said "Darkness is good. Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan, that's power. It only helps us when they get it wrong... when they're blind to who we are and what we're doing."

    That's because she is 100%, blatantly full of shit. The press needs to stop even bothering to talk to her. I don't understand how we're living in a world where we have to interface with Trump's mouthpiece when we have documented evidence of her sincere opinions before she put on her current mask

    Why are there no protests when the Saudi Arabian King visits the UK.

    but the second Trump wants to do a state visit to the UK there are 1.4 million votes against.

    I don't. And I don't even know Slavetothewage so I can't be in that bubble.

    Unless there's like a million little bubbles

    Because you're wrong about how the overwhelming majority of people in the UK love him? It's ironic that you're accusing other people of existing in a bubble.

    I had to go through his posts to get the relevant quotes. It was genuinely painful.

    Spicer takes the "All lives matter" approach to the Holocaust

    This is so insane. "The president went out of his way to recognize the Holocaust."

    Absolutely unreal...

    And to make sure that America never forgets what so many people went through, whether they were Jews or gypsies, gays, disability.
    Why does it sound like he's just shouting out buzzwords at the end? 'Disability' indeed.

    Yup, that's the one. First facepalm. Thank you.

    You don't speak for "most people in the UK". You can barely manage to speak for yourself. Think whatever deranged crap you like. Just don't smear your shit over the rest of us.

    Trump just got rid of the acting attorney general with an insanely childish press release. This week has been unbelievable.

    Given the social unrest, is there realistically any chance this clown gets impeached, or are we seriously stuck with this for the next four years?

    Unbelievable is the correct word... unprecedented, insane, childish, pithy, totalitarian bullshit. That viral article making the rounds about how this is a sort of coup is seeming more and more on the money. He's tentatively dipping his feet into unconstitutional waters to gauge the effectiveness of the resistance. It's a strategic move against our checks and balances.

    You're going to need the Republicans to get on board, and it's looking more and more like they're not going to.

    Seems like unless the entire Republican party gets wiped out, you're stuck.

    I think I read that he's continuing the $10m lawsuit against the guy's family. Don't quote me on that last part though.

    It'll probably take corroboration of a dossier allegation. Could happen.

    so, what do you guys think of this rogue Twitter POTUS staff account? I don't know... it seems too easy to spoof this sort of thing to be real, but they're reporting that an executive order is being drafted regarding LGBT rights, especially with regards to adoption.

    I guess he can't really fire her at this point because the Government cannot function without an Attorney General and Sessions hasn't been confirmed, yet.

    See this.

    Mr. Trump has the authority to fire Ms. Yates, but as the top Senate-confirmed official at the Justice Department, she is the only one authorized to sign foreign surveillance warrants, an essential function at the department.

    “For as long as I am the acting attorney general, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the executive order, unless and until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so,” she wrote.
    Under State Department rules, it is forbidden to retaliate against any employee who follows the procedures and submits a dissent memorandum. One of the signatories, in a text message, said State Department signatories were trying to figure out what to do.
    The decision by the acting attorney general is a remarkable rebuke by a government official to a sitting president that recalls the dramatic “Saturday Night Massacre” in 1973, when President Richard M. Nixon fired his attorney general and deputy attorney general for refusing to dismiss the special prosecutor in the Watergate case.

    That case prompted a constitutional crisis that ended when Robert Bork, the solicitor general, acceded to Mr. Nixon’s order and fired Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor.

    it's true, the press keeps talking to her and they should COMPLETELY IGNORE HERE. The ONLY reason they are talking to her is ... and I really hate saying this .. because she's a blonde female and the press is milking that whole bullshit Ann Coulter chick thing.

    I'm all for women being in powerful positions and being interviewed, but this chick ain't it. She's a tool. She isn't even a decision-maker, or a true press rep. JUST STOP TALKING TO HER, YOU BUNCHA FUCKING PERVERTS.

    The Senate has to confirm anybody who signs surveillance warrants, etc., and nobody has confirmed anybody on the Trump team, yet.

    I don't know that this guy has that authority.

    Wow, Trump has ventured into epic Nixonian territory, now.

    Hold on to your seats, folks, we are actually gonna witness some history with Trump. Like, "I am not a crook" history.

    Absolute chaos. Not hitting Saudi with the ban despite their consistent funding of wahhabi groups and madrassas worldwide - coupled with trumps business interests there, shows he is not actually a right wing securocrat but just chucking red meat to the crowd whilst looking after his own pocket.

    If you still believe in this guy as he NEGLECTS to get tough with them, then congrats - you have bought into a cult of personality

    Obama's administration created this "list" that contains the 7 countries (updated from the Bush era), and if you read the U.S. Code and the INA that references the list (I linked on a prior page), you see that the list isn't related to IMMIGRATION, at all. It's a list that is related to commerce and trade. The list isn't a list of terrorist-funded countries, it's a rather stupid arbitrary list based on arbitrary criteria.

    If he really wanted a real "terror threat" list, it would have also included fucking AFGHANISTAN and PAKISTAN.

    The lack of institutional knowledge is showing. If Trump had waited a week until Sessions had been confirmed, he wouldn't have had to fire the attorney general. If Trump had announced the EO a week before it went into effect, the different agencies and airlines would have known what to do (though this would have also given the ACLU plenty of time to line up an excellent test case). The Democrats in the Senate might have even continued to rubber stamp his cabinet.

    Trump also has some bad blood with the Senate Republicans since Spicer said that they were consulted prior to Trump signing the EO. They weren't.
