The most cogent line for Trump voters comes at 2:28... "and you may say to yourself, 'My God. What have I done?'"

So-called President. I like the sound of that.

The Bowling Green terrorists plotting the massacre

The WP has a good recount of the whole Bowling Green thing, along with some of the humorous tweets at the end. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/02/03/kellyanne-conway-cites-bowling-green-massacre-that-never-happened-to-defend-travel-ban/

By the way, can we pause just for a moment to marvel at the dickish and un-Presidential tone of the press release regarding Ms. Yates? THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 30, 2017 The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel. Ms. Yates is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration. It is time to get serious about protecting our country. Calling for tougher vetting for individuals travelling from seven dangerous places is not extreme. It is reasonable and necessary to protect our country. Tonight, President Trump relieved Ms. Yates of her duties and subsequently named Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to serve as Acting Attorney General until Senator Jeff Sessions is finally confirmed by the Senate, where he is being wrongly held up by Democrat senators for strictly political reasons. “I am honored to serve President Trump in this role until Senator Sessions is confirmed. I will defend and enforce the laws of our country to ensure that our people and our nation are protected,” said Dana Boente, Acting Attorney General. ###

January 30, 2017 - White House Press Release The White House Press Office has announced that beginning tomorrow, January 31, each credentialed member the White House Press Corps must participate in a mandatory nap time prior to press briefings conducted by White House spokesman Sean Spicer. "These media types are too wired and cranky at this time of the day," Spicer noted. "So each day at 1 pm in the Press Room, we'll turn the lights down, issue blankies, and tune in the lullaby channel on Spotify." Spicer added that the back corner of the Press Room, a no-cookie zone, has been cordoned off for CNN's Jim Acosta.

Whoa, hello dare

I don't know... this one made me laugh:

Well, it is his birthday Guess what? Today is also the birthday of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Has anybody used Google yet today? I didn't recognize the person depicted in Google Doodle: It is Fred Korematsu, who fought Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Executive Order on the internment of Japanese Americans at the outset of World War II. I don't think it's coincidence they chose to recognize him today.

I suspect that tweet is directed toward his horde of red-hat wearing followers who don't even fathom such details...

From the Donald J. Trump for President Website, in case you forgot: December 7th, 2015, -- Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventing-muslim-immigration

Another way to look at it is that our decision to start and continue wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has led to the very refugee diaspora that Trump is now forcing us to turn our backs on. I don't know if hypocritical is the right word for that. Cynical? Thoughtless? Evil?

Does anyone truly feel safer today as a result of this action?

NBA Seeks Clarity on Trump Immigration Ban Adrian Wojnarowski,Yahoo Sports U.S. The National Basketball Association has contacted the State Department to understand how President Donald Trump’s executive order to suspend immigration from seven countries could impact the league’s players. The NBA has two active players, including Milwaukee Bucks rookie Thon Maker and Los Angeles Lakers veteran Luol Deng, who have Sudanese roots. Before a federal court in New York issued a ruling to suspend Trump’s order to ban, NBA spokesman Mike Bass issued a statement saying: “We have reached out to the State Department and are in the process of gathering information to understand how this executive order would apply to players in our league who are from one of the impacted countries. “The NBA is a global league and we are proud to attract the very best players from around the world.” The Sudan is one of the seven countries on Trump’s list of banished nations. The NBA has several global initiative programs, including Basketball Without Borders, that recruit, develop and invest in Sudanese players. Several top Sudanese players are attending American high schools and colleges on visas and could become NBA draft picks.

And Donald ****ing Trump's moronic reacton: "It's working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it everywhere."

Brandy posted this in a tweet above, but it deserves to be brought out here. Eliot A Cohen, who was counselor to Condeleeza Rice at the State Department, tweeted this. Brilliantly succinct and on point: This isn't normal. It's not humane, it's not thought through, it's not necessary, it's not wise, it's not decent and, above all, it's not American.

^^^ What did Zoony do this time?
