> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > Because nobody believes he has any actual intention of doing so, nor has he made any actual moves to do so. Any charge against him in that way would only help him claim he’s being unjustly persecuted. Of course I don’t think he actually plans to do so, but the point is that he’s proposing something that is _a crime._ As though it would be okay. I would expect that someone other than I random non-lawyer on the Internet would have commented on it. But he’s just normalized presidential candidates routinely talking about breaking the law. And tragically, his Supreme Court has ruled that he could actually do it and probably get away with it. (ETA: I hadn’t seen the previous two posts when I wrote this.) ---

These committees and boards will need to hold many meetings, most of which will be multi-day and require the numerous participants to stay several nights. After careful analysis, it has been determined that the most efficient course of action will be to hold the meetings and house the participants at Trump facilities. At “special government” rates. Catering not included. ---

Oh, dear. We were so much looking for him to solve California’s water, transportation, homeless, and – oh yes – immigrant labor issues. But I expect he would only do such a thing if California would, um, send any electoral votes his way. Or many congressional delegation votes. Fat. Bloody. Chance. Le sigh. ---

CNN has been in pearl-clutching overdrive the past couple of days about Laura Loomer, and how Trump making a far-right looneybarger a court favorite could hurt him election-wise. Oh bullshit. Trumpites lap up this crap. If a few inner circle Trump lackeys are offended by her access, big effing deal. ---

He’ll deport the Haitian immigrants even if they aren’t eating pets. Water - gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. The state and federal pumps send ocean water up stream for the smelt and other fish/fowl/creatures - NOT PUMP FRESH WATER INTO THE OCEAN. He would have prevented Elmo from leaving California. The few people who showed up probably clapped wildly. ---
