Discussion: State Dept. Reverses Revocation Of Visas After Order Blocking Travel Ban

Trump: State department works for me. I order them not to listen to any judge. They are all terrorist enablers.

That blade cuts both ways.

It appears to be a question of when and not if, doesn’t it?

Never remember. America!

That’s a good general rule, but in the case of President Bannon, oops, I mean Trump, I wouldn’t be too quick to rule out malice. And of course in some cases it may be some of both.

Agreed, and I think the one way to get rid of Bannon is to keep saying he’s the one running the show. There’s little that upsets PP more than for anyone to outshine him or the appearance of being dominated by another. You see a lot of these uber wealthy guys with much younger beautiful wives that they’ll at least pretend are in command, they’ll pretend to be at their trophy wife’s mercy. He can’t even do that much. The only person who has ever appeared to have even the slightest control over him is Ivanka. So, I think the idea that Bannon controls him must drive him insane. Eventually, he’ll feel compelled to assert his dominance over Bannon and show the world who’s really the boss. It’s already gotta be eating him alive.

Classic line from Pam Bondi-

She added: “I’m going to make sure [Trump] gets one of these packages when the case is all over to put in the Oval Office to remind him of all the good he’s doing.”

Don’t insult little girls by comparing Trump’s behavior to them.

theghostofeustacetilley · February 4, 2017, 5:18pm

Say it isn’t so!

I suppose if it was coke he would probably want a candy dish full.

He’ll use the Monroe surtout de table in the State Dining Room. (There is precedent. Jack Ford and Willie Nelson used it before going up to the White House roof to smoke a joint).

I’ll be surprised if by the end of the year any of the major department stores still carry any Trump brand. I suspect it’ll become a discount store brand that only a subset of middle and lower middle class folks view as high end. Something along the lines of the Guess brand or Victoria Secret’s Pink only with almost no support from minorities.

That doesn’t surprise me. I tend to think that in general the Trump brand will be increasingly associated as being classless and gaudy, designed for the nouveau riche, ugly American.

Any programmers in here?
