Discussion: NBC: Trump Administration Rewriting Immigration Executive Order

Why are they doing this for what amounts to a 90 day action? They are wasting time and money, not because they want to pass muster, but because Trump needs to have the last word. He’s pathological in this regard. He must have a win, he must be validated. The biggest defeat for Trump is for him to be denied validation. This is an exercise in gratifying the ego of a mentally imbalanced person.

And, oh yeah, fuck that cracker, Beaudisregard Sessions!

Watching the Trump new confab, I get the impression that Trump doesn’t dodge questions, he just not a smart person. Question on US orientation on Asia vs Obamas relationship, rambling answer about China devaluation of currency and how bad Obamacare is and how Tom Price will fix.

I"m sure that’ll go about as well as their last effort to pass muster with the federal courts. I mean, didn’t Rudy Giuliani promise Trump he’d make a Muslim ban that the courts would uphold?

No one wants to get backed into a corner by the podium.
On the the other hand, eventually Spicer’s head will explode.

So, I get the impression that you’re saying he’s a bullshitter.

Trump wasn’t wearing translation headset but was looking and nodding as Abe spoke. Hahaha. I guess he speaks Japanese because good brain.

Edit, MSNBC correspondent emailed aid asking such and Trump used it toward the end.

Keep in mind that these clowns reportedly still haven’t found the light switches.

My bet is the whole thing is getting tossed in the wastebasket. They just have to figure out how to do that in a manner that Trump can claim victory.

The courts strongly repudiated the entire case his lawyers tried to present. It wasn’t just no, it was Hell No.And there is no way to craft a new EO that erases the fact that Trump campaigned on and repeatedly said he wanted a Muslim ban. Trying to get all lawerly with the language after the courts rejected it…in part precisely because of his campaign rhetoric…is just continuing the same thing and will be met with the same rejection.

But I am all for him trying. The first roll out was completely political disaster for him and caused all sorts of discomfort for the GOP in Congress. The second roll out will be that much worse on both fronts…and will be yet another defeat.

Now that he’s endorsed the One China policy, I wonder if he’ll also be eating crow?

Yes

But because it’s Trump, don’t be surprised if there’s another slip up,

General Tso has been doing some great things lately. “The Art of War” is almost as good as my book, “The Art of the Deal.” But he’s too inscrutable. Sad!

A tad too coherent to be real, but still funny.

Please have Judge Robard review it first, to make sure it is not an unconstitutional effort to evade the earlier ban of the unconstitutional EO by Trump.

He probably saw Dershowitz mention on CNN and figured ‘why not try it.?’

Is it possible that Rump’s counsel rewrote the EO with the parameters of what the Obama Admin. drafted and use it as their own with some minor adjustments going on the idea that feral trumpers would be too stupid to notice?

Didn’t see it but if what you’re saying is true (and I don’t doubt it), I wonder how his rambling bit of nonsense was translated to Abe? How could you… I mean,…
