Well, not against Trump specifically, but it’s certainly a pretty big “fuck you” to his agenda vis a vis deportations. Good for him. However, until he decides all of his votes by asking himself “What would Merrick Garland do?”, I will continue to refer to him as Justice Asterisk. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > [Trump] Obama’s fault! [/Trump] Fake news! Deep state! But Clinton! \*President Donald Trump’s only pick for the Supreme Court, Justice Neil Gorsuch, joined with the court’s liberal justices in a 5-4 ruling for the first time Tuesday, providing the swing vote for an opinion that will make it more difficult to deport immigrants who have committed violent crimes. In a decision likely to irritate the White House, Gorsuch agreed with his liberal colleagues that a clause in federal law allowing deportation of foreigners found guilty of “a crime of violence” is unconstitutional because it is overly vague.\* R.O.F.L. ---

The moral of the story is: if you’re going to elect a president with no experience in government, at least find someone who didn’t sleep through high school civics class. ---

We’ve already had plenty of proof from that twerp that he believes the way government works is the way the Pharaoh in _The Ten Commandments_ does it: “So shall it be written; so shall it be done!” The fool simply does not get that the government is not his private company. ---

God, sometimes I just wanna say “Fuck flyover country.” But in the meantime I think I’d just put it this way: every time journalists invite one of this talking pinhead cocksuckers or scuzzy congressmen using Trump’s jockstrap as their handkerchief (like Rep. Jim Jordan) on one of their weekend or nightly talk shows, they ought to confront them. When cocksuckers like Jim Jordan say “No, I’ve never heard the president lie” they ought to just end the goddamn interview right there and howl with laughter. And then sum it with this: Look, #MAGA tards, don’t tell me you don’t know what you’re voting for. Don’t play dumb. Don’t play naive. Don’t tell me you don’t know that he’s not a Christian, or that he’s not a traitor, or that he’s not a money laundering, Ponzi scheming white collar criminal – you bastards know all of this. You’re just hoping that it works out. Fine. I get that. We get that. But when it doesn’t work out - and believe me, it won’t and that will be obvious to everyone - we’re going to fucking stand here and scream in your goddamned ears “I told you so.” And we’ll never, ever let you forget it. And when that time comes, you will not talk back. You will obey. The great masses of angry, bitter, full of piss people betrayed by Trump and his traitorous defenders will see to that. ---
