The suzerain Trump

[Forty Two]

Pence is a theocratic ideologue along the same ilk as Ted Cruz. Trump is a pragmatist who wants to do what works for the economy and national security. He told you what he wants to do, and he's proceeding to do exactly what he said he would do. He may be firing a cannon, but it's anything but loose. You know exactly where Trump stands. Nothing he's done since getting into office has been at all surprising, except to those who are so used to Presidents not doing what they said they were going to do that a a guy who just hits the ground running and following through is a big surprise. I mean, other than the swiftness of his work, what is he doing that he didn't say flat out he wanted to do?

Nepotism. Nest feathering. Swamp packing. Putting Hilary on trial.

Nepotism. Nest feathering. Swamp packing. Putting Hilary on trial.

The Department of Justice said it was not a problem for Trump to hire Jared Kushner. So, whose the nepotism objection related to?

How has he feathered his nest?

What is "swamp packing?"

And, it's not his decision to put Hillary on trial -- that's up to the DOJ.

Republicans dislike foreigners and refugees. Republicans love Trump. Except for wall.

Ah, you're talking to me now. Perhaps you'll address my previous reply to you then?

As the OLC opinion on Trump's son-in-law is out of step with 4 decades of legal advice, and because the law is now consideted ambiguous, the decision should have been differed to the proper body, Congress.

Putting people in charge of department who are financially entangled in commercial activities directly affected by those departments runs the risk of institutionalism corruption.

Trump said he'd drain the swamp, and in a way he has - drained it straight into government.

Trumps promise to prosecute Hillary was always a hollow threat even if it did galvanise the troops. "Lock her up! Lock her up!" they chanted while he grinned and strutted. Still, it's an example of something he'd said he'd do, and then didn't.

Is America Great Again yet?

Banning Bannon would be great:

The Washington Post offers an excellent analysis explaining why six Republican Senators are likely to want to help Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders stop conflicts of interest in Trump's administration.

Briefly, the six Senators are:

1. Rand Paul, who has criticized Trump's pick for Secretary of State for failing to learn the lessons of the Iraq War, said: "I’ll do whatever it takes to stop someone like John Bolton being secretary of state," according to Politico.

2. Lindsey Graham is no fan of Trump... he didn't even vote for him. There's a good chance he would be willing to cast his vote against Trump's cabinet selections.

3. Susan Collins went so far as to say that Trump is unsuitable for the Presidency, according to the Washington Post. No doubt, she feels the same way about his choices for cabinet, who have been inundated with conflict of interest concerns over the last few weeks.

4. Ben Sasse wrote on Facebook: "I cannot support Donald Trump." As you can read in the full post he made, Senator Sasse is no fan of crony-capitalism, so he's a natural person to vote against Trump's nominations for cabinet.

5. Jeff Flake has said that he's inclined to defer to Trump in the selection of his own cabinet, but the Washington Post thinks there is a possibility this could change: "there are several flash points that could pop up between him and Trump: Molly Reynolds with the Brookings Institution pointed out that Flake is particularly opposed to increased federal spending, and Trump's infrastructure plan would cost $500 billion."

6. John McCain had this to say about Trump's attitude toward Russia, according to the Washington Post. "With the U.S. presidential transition underway, [Russian President] Vladimir Putin has said in recent days that he wants to improve relations with the United States. We should place as much faith in such statements as any other made by a former KGB agent who has plunged his country into tyranny, murdered his political opponents, invaded his neighbors, threatened America’s allies, and attempted to undermine America’s elections." With this in mind, it's likely that McCain would oppose Trump's cabinet nominations.

If only two of these six senators voted not to confirm Trump's nominations, his plans will fall through.

Looks like the Christian terrorist who shot a bunch of Muslims in a mosque in Quebec just a day after Trump puts a ban on Muslims was a massive Trump fan.

Not a single word from Trump.

Sources: Trump executive order allowing anti-LGBTQ discrimination is coming soon,

An executive order from President Donald Trump opening up discrimination against the LGBTQ community on the basis of religious belief is expected sometime this week, possibly as soon as today.

Several sources spoke with LGBTQ Nation on the condition of anonymity who have told us that the order will allow for discrimination in a number of areas, including employment, social services, business, and adoption.

From what we’ve heard, the executive order could be far-reaching, and could include: making taxpayer funds available for discrimination against LGBTQ people in social services; allow federally funded adoption agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ parents; eliminate non-discrimination protections in order to make it possible to fire federal employers and contractors based on their sexual orientation or gender identity; and allow federal employees to refuse to serve people based on the belief that marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that gender is an immutable characteristic set at birth, which would impact a broad range of federal benefits.

Fact fact.

Let’s not mince words. President Trump’s recent actions are an attempt to move the United States away from being the religiously free country that the founders created — and toward becoming an aggressively Christian country hostile to other religions.

On Friday, his White House deliberately excluded mention of Jews from its statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day. A Trump aide, Hope Hicks, explained that mentioning Jews would have been unfair to the Holocaust’s other victims — a line that happens to be a longtime trope of anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers in Europe.

“The Holocaust was about the Jews,” former Reagan speechwriter John Podhoretz wrote in Commentary this weekend, “There is no ‘proud’ way to offer a remembrance of the Holocaust that does not reflect that simple, awful, world-historical fact.”

Next, an executive order allowing discrimination against disabled people to support those who sincerely believe as a tenet of their Christian faith that sickness and disability is a punishment from God for sinfulness and disobedience (Leviticus 26:14-16, Proverbs 30:17, etc etc).
