pinkpantheroz

I think there is a lot of news fatigue going around. I mean, how much utter tripe caan one absorb?

pinkpantheroz

Good evening/afternoon Ad and PPO. How are you all doing?

glenn

I think trump is the one that got the knee to the grin. Turnbull ( not Trumbull as Sean called him)may be a millionaire businessman and a condservative, but he’s a street fighter

pinkpantheroz

hi glenn

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I can almost agree with you about “news fatigue”. Almost, but I think the press needs to stop focusing on trump’s tweets and start focusing on what Congress is doing. Seems to me Congress is just operating in the shadows of trump’s antics.

glenn

Ad–but will trump comply with that block? Seems he’s not complying in VA–aren’t they suing him?

glenn

problem is that, like the other orders, they will be totally ignored by all the Jobsworths at the borders ( Jobsworths are overly rulebound bureaocrats whos mantra is ‘ It’s more than my Job’s worth!)

pinkpantheroz

brb

pinkpantheroz

Just looked it up. MA, NY, and WA state are suing him too. Perhaps one of these days, our courts will finally bring the tweet dictator down!

glenn

ad, how do we work out if the new order is being complied with?

pinkpantheroz

quis custodat custodes?

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I sure hope this stops him. Do you think a republican congress will actually impeach him, though?

glenn

And, if he is actually impeached, does he have to leave office?

glenn

Can you imagine the uproar on the conservative side if he is actually impeached?

glenn

glenn, they might have no choice. I’d love to see that!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I think your

glenn

oops–“scenario”–where trump throws customs officers to the wolves, so to speak, is probably what he’ll do. After all, nothing is ever trump’s fault.

glenn

glenn, but WE – and the world – see differently to his supporters

pinkpantheroz

Ad–considering trump is “unpresidented” and something we’ve never seen before, the reactions should be something we’ve never seen before.

glenn

Also, what happens if it’s a split SCOTUS decision? If I remember my civics classes correctly, then the lower judge’s order stands, correct?

glenn

I see him imploding under the strain of trying to run the US like a company without enough staff

pinkpantheroz

Ad–frankly, I don’t see trump complying with the court order, so I hope it does lead to his impeachment. But for the past two years, pundits on the left have been saying that “this” (whatever it is) will lead to his downfall, and nothing has. So, I don’t trust the repubs to go to impeachment. They’ll justify it somehow….and it will be Obama’s fault.

glenn

I think that the kids in the candy store will soon run out of everything and leave the place in a shambles. As for Pence, he may well be a dick, but at least he knows Something about how washington works.

pinkpantheroz

Ad–Well, people have always said that pence was trump’s “impeachment insurance”. Not only do we have to get rid of trump, we have to get rid of bannon, too. After all, Bannon is the acting president.

glenn

glenn, it is getting further and further away from ‘blame hat-on-backwards’ for everything. DG.

pinkpantheroz

PPO–I agree. trump, bannon, and conway will leave the place in a shambles. And, I really don’t see trump going willingly if he actually is impeached. I think federal marshals will have to “escort” him out in handcuffs.

glenn

glenn, I’d really pay a lot to see that!

pinkpantheroz

Ad–agreed. The only “good” thing about pence is he doesn’t inspire the kind of blind loyalty that trump does, so it’s a tossup as to what he does. Also, I hope that trump loyalists will vote out the repubs who voted for his impeachment (if they actually do it). Of course, we could get even worse reps, but hopefully Dems will grow a spine and offer up some good candidates.

glenn

PPO–me too. I’d like to see that picture on every website, newspaper, tv station, and every where else!

glenn

brb

pinkpantheroz

Ad–I hope you’re right about the SCOTUS count, but I’m not so sure. After all the repubs bitching about PBO’s executive orders bypassing Congress, they seem to have absolutely no problem with trump doing it. Even using their aides to helpNo him write the EO’s, and they have still supported him.

glenn

Now that they have power, I don’t think they’re going to give it up easily.

glenn

Ad–I hope you’re correct. So, my next question is…do you think trump will comply with the court order?

glenn

Ad–once again, I hope you’re correct. I hope trump hates the grind of the presidency and I hope he goes through hell. I hope he has so much stress he explodes. I have never wished ill on any president; have strongly disagreed with several of them; but have never wished ill on someone like I do on trump. The man is single-handedly destroying our democracy. And repubs in Congress are allowing him to do it.

glenn

Ad–yup–I hope the GOP is torn into little, tiny pieces, and that they realize that lying, cheating, and ignoring the Constitution when it suits them, is not the way to govern.

glenn

Ad–trump covering up for himself is probably exactly what he’ll do. However, it won’t be much of a cover up if the customs officers keep applying the EO. So, I guess we’re back to the customs officers being thrown under the bus, and trump lying about it. Kinda like Nixon…as so many people have compared trump to, lately. Plus, you can bet that there won’t be any secret recordings of trump telling customs officers to defy the courts. If he turns off the recorders for his conversations with putin (which is also a violation of the Constitution), then he won’t be caught recording anything that will incriminate him.

glenn

Ad–the petulant brat will just tweet about how unfair the media is by reporting what he says and does.

glenn

Ad–oh yeah, the GOP has been hollowed out, but as long as they hold the majority in Congress, their SCOTUS pick will be confirmed, IMO. I just don’t think the Dems can stop them. It’s kind of an empty “victory” of sorts for Dems. They have been proven correct about mcconnell’s motives for blocking PBO’s nominee, but repubs will still get who they want on the Supreme Court. Frosts me to no end!

glenn

Ad–oh, I so hope he doesn’t last a year in office. I’d like to see him gone before summer. Wishful thinking, I know, but I just can’t imagine the damage he can do to our country, our international relations, and our military in a year’s time.

glenn

Pissed off aides are already leaking behind the scenes fights. Don’t know how true they are, because of the secrecy, but they sure sound genuine.

glenn

Ad–I hope you’re correct. Dems need to start taking the long view, and filibuster every nominee. They also need to start getting in front of cameras and repeating how repubs stole the SCOTUS seat. Every. single. one. of. them.

glenn

I agree that trump has no idea how much he’s hated. I just hope he’s taken down hard, as you say he will be. He is his own worst enemy, and I hope he keeps it up!

glenn

I sure hope that Dems keep filibustering, and keep blocking every damn thing they can. Not just for revenge, but to show how asinine repub policies are.

glenn

Yup, and I hope he hits every bone in his body on his way down! Ohhh, that was mean, I just can’t help it.

glenn

On a lighter note, didn’t you just Arnold’s tweet to trump that they should switch jobs? That trump should take over “The Apprentice” again and Arnold should be president? I know Arnold can’t be president, but it was really funny, and a great comeback!

glenn

sorry guys, distracted here by stuff I need to do. SO I’ll sign off and say sayonara for this week.

pinkpantheroz

‘Nite, PPO. Have a good week.

glenn

3.00 pm sat afternoon Byeeee!

pinkpantheroz

oops…didn’t you just love….

glenn

Yes, we do need to show the world that. Hopefully, with all of the protests, the world is seeing that not ALL Americans are tyrants and bigots.

glenn

Creep is just too mild a word for him, but I really don’t think I can come up with a good word for him. There is just not one word that covers his odiousness, and too many to mention.

glenn

Yes, I’d like to think the world sees the protests as a rejection of trump. The problem is, he’s still president, (oh, how I hate typing that), and there’s not much we or the world can do about it for now.

glenn

Yes, and no. He is emboldening many right-wingers all over the world. I read a report that his conversation with the Aussie president showed the Aussie president as weak, according to the right-wingers. I was hoping to ask PPO if that is correct, but he left too soon. From what I’ve read, the Aussie president is only holding to his presidency by the skin of his teeth. And many right-wingers all over the world agree with trump. I do think sane people see our protests as repudiating trump, but it

glenn

…but it’s by no means unanimous worldwide, just as it isn’t here in the US.

glenn

Good names, but they still don’t cover it. Alien comes close, though. It’s going to be interesting to see how the name “trump” is going to be used negatively in our national slang.

glenn

So, another change of subject. Any big plans for the Super Bowl? Here in GA, we’re very excited about the Falcons being there. They’ll probably lose, but I’d love to see Brady taken down a notch with a loss. Would not make up for the idiot we have for president, but it would soothe my soul somewhat. I know you don’t watch football, but you have to admit, it would be nice to see the “patriots” taken down!

glenn

Good one, Ad!

glenn

You know, I hate to show my ignorance, but who or what is a Gollum?

glenn

I don’t pay much attention to who is favored, but I sure would like to see the patriots lose “bigly”. Even before they were associated with trump, I didn’t like the team nor Brady, so him losing another Super Bowl would be great!

glenn

Thanks for the info on Gollum. Was he a real asshole like trump?

glenn

And, BTW, I agree completely with your article the other day that trump and bannon are trying to inspire a terrorist attack. That way, they can run roughshod over the Constitution just like gwb did after 9/11.

glenn

Oh, Gollum is a great name for him, or maybe we should make it Gollump to incorporate some of trump’s name into it.

glenn

Never forget Deflategate!

glenn

Wow! that sounds like Gollump to a tee!

glenn

Thanks for saving my sanity again, Ad. Not only do you give me additional insights to politics, you agree with me about the patriots. “You’re a good man, Charlie Brown”. Take care and hope to “see” you next week.

glenn

A Gollump Graphic! I love it!

glenn

Trump is proving to be more of a horror than imagined Ad

Beatlex

sorry i am so late! Duh,I got waylaid

Beatlex

Do you think he will last 4 years? I don’t,the r’s will toss him overboard if his poll numbers keep nosedivig

Beatlex

that is what I think Ad,they do not to follow him over the cliff,and they certainly don’t want to spend infrastructsure and save Obama-Care.But they own it all now.Like Schumer said,the are the dog that caught the bus

Beatlex

Of course,Trump will preside over that too.He is clueless.He is a bad joke played on the less educated of your bretheren.Sad but true it seems

Beatlex

I did not think we would see a more inept President than GWB,but here we are.At least George had a “braintrust” as flawed as they were,as opposed to the Donalds winging it

Beatlex

Donald Trump actually makes me feel a bit ill.He is a low life who rode the horse of ignorance into the white house.America can absorb the blow,but dissent is a must,Don’t let that Bannon and Trump defile the name of Americae

Beatlex

That saying is borrowed from the 12 steps of alcoholism ad,it fits in this situation

Beatlex

The doing the same thing over and over expecting a different out come beig the definition of insanity

Beatlex

I have to admit Ad that I was taken by surprise that Trump won! I thought no way that Americans would elect a sleezeball juvenile.It took me a while to wrap my head around it,It is still tough,seeing him signing orders with that smirk on his face….AHHHHHH!!!

Beatlex

Yes I think there is a good chance of impeachment,Watch is poll ratings,if the are low 30s they will turn on him in a nano second

Beatlex

He is such a smug bastard,he LOVES the spotlight,he is in his glory now.Lets hope the fall is more spectacular than his rise

Beatlex

Yes ad! He cares what people think,it must kill him to read the negative stuff,He is basically insecure.He cannot let a slight go,real or perceived

Beatlex

The R’s would love to have Pence take over,he is one of them! Right? Trump has only begun to make huge blunders,it will get worse,Not even the R’s can kiss his ass forever

Beatlex

Yes Ad,but firmly believe that Trump will continue to slide in the polls

Beatlex

He is tone deaf and has offended everyone except Putin.And yes,his tarriff will cost HIS sappy voters the most.As repeal of the ACA will hur them too.They were to uninformed to know that he was screwing with them.Some of them said”I did not think he meant to do those things” DUH

Beatlex

Do you think Trump is a patriot Ad? I don’t,he is out for himself.We have all met people of his ilk

Beatlex

And the have no replacement after 7 years of bitching,At least the debate is at the right place,Even the R

Beatlex

s know they can’t go back to the old system

Beatlex

I agree Ad,He is a loathesome person who is only out for himself.He does not give a rats ass about the well being of his own country,I abhor him,and I am the kind who looks for the good in people.He has no redeeming qualities

Beatlex

America will muddle through somehow.He will self destruct soon enough,Bannon(Goebbles) will see to that

Beatlex

Lets keep a good thought Ad! see you soon

Beatlex
