Discussion: NBC: Trump Administration Rewriting Immigration Executive Order

I hope they use a smarter crayon this time, not that it will do much good.

It makes me smile that forever after, whenever Spicer steps into the briefing room, the whole country will see Melissa McCarthy running back and forth carrying the podium.

He gets fixated on something and canā€™t let it go. He spent a lot time going over national security but that wasnā€™t the question that was asked. I canā€™t imagine what Abe thinks of him. I would assume He thinks heā€™s an idiot. How did such a moron become the leader of the free world? But can you say that publicly?

Somebody explained to him about the 4/4 split at the next court?

WINNING! So much winning! You wonā€™t believe all the winning!

Although, I personally am not quite tired of all this sort of winning. I can watch this all day, so long as my popcorn reserves holds out.

I suspect you would first have to explain recalcitrance to this administration.

I think no consultation because----and Iā€™m not particularly joking----leaks in the administration mean that information has to be kept tight, so that the terrorists donā€™t win. If someone from a government agency alerts the terrorists about the content of the new order, a thousand dangerous assassins will sneak through our border. I figure this would be Flynn and Bannonā€™s analysis.

100% agree. It reads like some of the shit I receive on a daily basis from half-baked attorneys who are half-smart enough to half-understand the law on a particular issue half-way, but who think theyā€™re the smartest motherfucker in the room. It happens with big firms alot. ALOT. Bannon is THAT guy. He thinks heā€™s got it all figured out and that heā€™s a 12-dimensional Vulcan chess master, but heā€™s really just playing checkers with the wrong pieces.

Maybe this time it wonā€™t be written in crayon on an old cocktail napkin, and they will actually run it by the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel) BEFORE they try to implement it, you know, like a REAL President does?
Nah, Hedley ā€œBannonā€ LaMarr will shit something out and President William J. Le Petomane will automatically sign it without reading it so he can get back to criticizing ā€œThe New Apprenticeā€ on Twitter.

Actually, it bears some resemblance to the sort of word salad-y letter a math or science professor occasionally gets about squaring the circle, proving Fermatā€™s last theorem with 5th grade math, disproving relativity.
The vocabulary isnā€™t the issueā€”itā€™s the utter self-absorption, reflected in a private interpretation of language: when Trump uses words, they really very, very, very rarely mean the same as when we use them.

My thought was of his attention deficit problem as he appeared ready to doze offā€¦

So basically heā€™s seeing what he can get away with with least amount of legal and peer agency oversight since the house and senate will rubber stamp anything he throws in front of um. And once heā€™s found that place heā€™s just going to keep pushing the inside of the envelope unitl he reach what he thinks is his right to executive unilateral action as dictator

Aides said he read the remarks beforehand which is why he wasnā€™t wearing the translation earpiece. Which explains why when Abe was talking, Trump was nodding and laughing at the right time.

What an asshole.

Itā€™ll be revised to include Mexico, Canada and Hawaii (since Trump thinks HI is a foreign country); that way, it wonā€™t look like itā€™s picking on Muslims.
