What I'm worried is nothing happens each time he breaks a rule or flouts a law. Reality has barely ever intruded upon the man what with the history of bankruptcies and unresolved lawsuits combined with various amounts of bailings-out. If gravity ever kicks in for him like it applies to most people he should land very hard, but I haven't seen anything real happen to him so far (and yet what a huge whiner).
Oh, and hey, if someone wants to say what they think of Justin Trudeau or whoever by the way that's fine with me. No worries. I just want qualified people with real experience to be able to do their jobs.
Just heard he signed some new executive order pre-empting people from claiming asylum somehow... didn't they always accuse Obama of in effect ruling by executive order? One of the biggest national shames of Canada is how we forbid boatloads of refugees from Europe and other places from finding asylum here in the past whereas the U.S. has had a better record on that I would say... now that seems turned upside-down too.

White House revoked credentials for CNN's John Acosta, which is being condemned all across the journalistic spectrum. and used a doctored clip from InfoWars to show how he "assaulted" the intern.
pure and utter BS, and yet, *THAT* is what the White House used to justify pulling the press pass.
despicable, and downright shameful.

That's assuming that such cases get to the Supreme Court. Such motions will first be filed in US District Courts, where judgements will be handed down. If said judgements refute the power of the Executive order, than the government has to take it to the Appellate level. if they uphold the negative judgement of the District Court, it will take a lot for the Supreme Court to hear the case. The more dangerous aspect of this scenario, and one under-reported by the mass media, is that Conservatives have worked for years to place Conservative ideologue judges at District and Appellate Court seats, to help prevent the Supreme Court from needing to be a factor. they have been working since the 1980s to turn the Federal Court system into a fortress of Conservative interpretation of the law. These appointments come up far more often then Supreme Court and affect far more cases. That is where things need to be watched and is the very real danger of a greater Republican majority in the Senate, as they can mainline more confirmations. This is why political activism needs to start at the local level. The Neo-Cons targeted municipal elections to spread their influence across the country, targeting school boards and city councils, as well as State Congressional seats. Their aim was to build a platform at the local level, to then launch an attack at State level, then continue that to the federal, giving them total control of everything. Like Tip O'Neal said, "All politics is local!" |

And now the unhinged man-child is probably going to fire Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of Homeland Security, in the next couple of days because he's frustrated with her handling of immigration and border security, his two favorite dog-whistle topics.
I think the problem (OK, one of them, because there is a list a mile long) is that Trump thought this was going to be easy. He says he wants a wall, and 'poof',there's a wall, and 'poof', there's an end to birthright citizenship, and 'poof', there's the rest of the world lining up to do the United States' bidding because he wants it to be so.
Donald Trump is the ultimate "snowflake", a person so completely unable to handle adversity or opposition, a man who has had people telling him how smart and powerful and sexy (I just threw up in my mouth a little...ok, a lot) and special he is throughout his entire life that he believes the hype, without recognizing that the people telling him those things did it out of either fear or blind syncophancy. Now, however, there's half of a nation, if not more, telling him "no" and that he doesn't get his way just because he threw a tantrum, and he cannot deal with it.

You are talking about someone who as far as I can tell never ever had to apply for, never mind get and keep, a real job. Never looked at working their way up and proving themself. Someone bailed out countless times in his history as a supposedly successful business man. I can only credit the inexplicable yuuuge rating of that fantasy Apprentice show as the most solid reason a lot of people would ever think this guy would make a decent president. If this was a business and he was your employee would you have kept him half this length of time? Ridiculous, like so much that comes out of his inflated head. None of which is not to say you can't agree with things he might seem to say at times (so often he'll say the opposite thing another time), nor of course that everyone who was voting for him is a slavering racist nut (even Hilary only said half the supporters were from a basket of deplorables, pretty much proven now that at least some of them in fact were and are, some initially were just people paid to show up). Oh well, get well soon U.S.A. Real soon. We miss you. We need you back.  |

I think I'd be okay with some grizzled, old WWII veteran saying, "You'd be speaking German if not for us!"...but the President of United States? Not so much.

There are Trump supporters on this board who I don't think are slavering racists. They tend to avoid this thread. |

It gets harder with each passing day to understand how anyone can defend supporting Trump at this point without being at least tolerant of racism. It would seem to require a stunning amount of willful ignorance at this point to still defend Trump without at least tacitly approving of racist things. |

The above sentiment, and 'liking it' makes me somewhat regret returning to CCF. If members are going to avoid me on the comic forums because I'm deemed to be a racist (even though I'm not all whitebread) or just disliked and therefore avoided because of Trump-association then there's no point. I don't want to rebuild another list of ignored-members (or be on them myself) as it defeats the entire purpose of being here.
Only planned on visiting for a bit anyway....
Don’t mind them They’re good folk with great comic book opinions...just living in the upside down. Outside of a select handful, there’s no way that they can grasp the fact that there are non-racist, non-neoconservative’s who support Trump. It just doesn’t compute...for some reason. |

Yeah, that's out of order: saying that anyone (including your fellow members) who voted Trump is a slavering racist is highly offensive towards some here and therefore against the forum rules. Attack the policies and the politicians, but do NOT attack your fellow members, even in a general way like this. This thread will be locked if people can't be civil to each other.
This is the only warning.
