Butt-Hurt Trump Takes to Twitter Again (Part 1)

[Rick_Sanchez]

@Rick_Kitchen

Kellanne Conway says tweets don’t count. Yeah, the courts think otherwise.

Wait…didn’t she also say tweeting was his “preferred method of communication?”

@S

Okay, I’m not sure which Trump thread this fits into exactly, but have y’all seen the Pictures of Trump Fighting ISIS?

Jesus, he’s got a belly on him, hasn’t he?

@Idiot in Chief

“Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his ‘no reason to be alarmed’ statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!”

Yeah, unfortunately Donald, the Mayor of London has more important things to worry about right now than what Fuckface Von Clownstick brainfarts into his Blackberry at 3in the morning while taking a shit. So fuck off.

… Apparently not. This morning, Traitor Trump doubled down on his shameful attack on the London mayor with this tweet:

“Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his ‘no reason to be alarmed’ statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!”

CNN this morning rightly asked what the backlash would be had Tony Blair come out and criticized Rudy Giuliani in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Chump will never, ever act presidential, not if he lives to be 100.

I don’t know if it’s any consolation Siam Sam, but your mayors at least are capable of acting with compassion and dignity:

While Donald Trump relaunched his attack on Sadiq Khan, every mayor in America sent a message of support and solidarity.

I haven’t been following along closely but how does this shoot his legal team in the foot? I thought that the problem with his TRAVEL BAN was that it was transparently a ban on Muslim countries which breached anti-discrimination laws. I thought that if it was a ban (instead) on people from DANGEROUS countries, then there would be no issue.

Have you read the decisions? They basically say “you say that now, but we’ve been paying attention to you and it’s clear the motive behind all this is religious bigotry, so keep talking.”

To quote Slate;

Well, for one thing the rest of Trump’s administration continues to swear, in court and in public statements, that whatever the immigration order is, it is assuredly not a “travel ban” but is instead “extreme vetting.” At oral arguments, Wall insisted that the order is nothing akin to a “Muslim ban” and that such campaign language disappeared as soon as Trump was elected and “formed a government.” This administration is intently echoing this statement. Last week Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said again on television that the administration had not issued anything resembling a travel ban: “The fact is that in those countries, we have very little ability to actually verify, vet the people that are coming out of those countries. So, what the president and it’s not a travel ban, remember. It’s the travel pause. What the president said, for 90 days, we were going to pause in terms of people from those countries coming to the United States…”

…But even psychologists known that a cigar is sometimes just a cigar and that words are sometimes actual words, and nobody needs a CT scan to understand that Donald Trump promised a “Muslim ban,” then signed a Muslim ban with some modifications, then modified it yet again, all while insisting that the Muslim ban was what he wanted all along. This isn’t gauzy psychologizing. It’s called reading.

The administration is arguing that the order is legal because it isn’t a travel ban, so Trump declaring that it is exactly that is a pretty big own-goal.

Trump’s whining that the Democrats (who apparently control the Senate, if you believe Orange Chimp) are obstructing his ambassadorial nominees. Um, he hasn’t nominated any ambassadors.,
x.com?

In the wake of the terror attacks it was made clear to him we didn’t have an ambassador to Great Britain. He’s decided to blame Democratic obstruction.

Democrats can’t filibuster ambassadors. Normally the president lines up replacements before asking for resignations, he fired all Obama’s ambassadors on January 20th with no notice and has made no real effort to replace them. He has 5 ambassadors awaiting senate confirmation, Bahamas, Ethiopia, Holy See, Japan, and New Zealand.

Of his current 559 unfilled positions requiring senate confirmation he’s only submitted 107 for senate confirmation.

Democrats must be using mind control which is him preventing him from doing his job. Those sneaky obstructionists.

@Princhester

I do think he has the brains to have noticed that when he blurts out the “clear, simple” answer to complex problems, many people cheer and only some people notice it’s wrong.

He goes by volume. Since the cheerers are a lot louder in toto than the people going “wtf?”, it doesn’t even matter if there’s actually less of them. I mean, it’s not like the people saying wtf are voting for Hillary or anything; he won’t get the actual count shoved into his face.

Now rumors suggest that Trump wants to fire Jeff Sessions.

OK so the TRAVEL BAN thing is a second order issue, but it’s nonetheless a big issue. Interesting.

I must say I was surprised that Jeff Sessions had the (skerrick of) integrity necessary to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, and it doesn’t surprise me that Trump regarded Sessions doing so as an unforgivable failure to place loyalty to him above all other considerations.

[VinylTurnip]

“Integrity” does not, I suspect, appear high on the list of Jeff Sessions’ motivators.

Prediction: If Gorsuch votes against the Prez (upholds lower courts’ decisions against the “travel ban”), Trump will try to have him kicked off the Supremes.

How would he do that?

[Euphonious_Polemic]

@John_Mace

How would he do that?

By whining and crying “no faaair!” and pressing his tiny little orange fingers against his twitter device.

[BobLibDem]

@John_Mace

How would he do that?

With his twitter and magic helmet. You’re talking about a guy who has no concept of how the government works. He speaks of justices signing bills, for God’s sake. Someone is going to have to explain to him that he can’t fire Supreme Court justices, I totally believe that he thinks he can.

@John_Mace

How would he do that?

Has something being legally impossible ever stop Donald from wanting it?

@Superdude

When Bruno Ganz plays him, that scene in the future with Donald breathlessly shouting “you’re all fired!” will cinch Bruno’s first Oscar.

Sessions might be of the mind that he can outlast President Trump, should things go south.

Bingo!
