Not looking forward to this next week:
whew! NG got nominated just in time for this.
Something tells me this won’t end well.
Mark Rivers: “all this praise for Trump’s missile strike… I fear the monkey has just discovered the button that gives him a treat”
That’s something to be really afraid of. Reichstag fire anyone?
Or this recent Bloom County (Facebook link–hasn’t made it to GoComics yet.)
If you wanted a corporate plaything in the White House who is guaranteed to engage us in an endless war – even several of them at the same time – you could not do better than the pretend president stooge currently ensconced there.
“Violate the separation of church and state” my ass. The federal government has awarded grants to churches via the National Endowment for the Arts.

“. . . with rubber from recycled trees”??? I’m going to guess that they meant tires.
America’s president is a fool
This is a president who once eviscerated his predecessor for meddling in Syria but has in a matter of days undergone a complete reversal and decided to lob a few dozen Tomahawk missiles at Assad; who ran as a populist but who also wants to cut taxes on the rich; who mercilessly attacked Goldman Sachs but then tapped several prominent people from the investment bank for his Cabinet and other senior positions; who promised no one would lose health insurance when ObamaCare was repealed but then pushed a bill that would have left 24 million fewer people insured; who spent two years denouncing existing free trade agreements but now can’t decide whether to break with existing trade policy.
When a political leader prizes flexibility but lacks practical wisdom, what you have is an incredibly powerful person who does whatever he wants. That’s a recipe — the classic recipe — for tyranny. Especially when, as in Trump’s case, the leader is motivated above all by insatiable longing for public approval.
Yep, this is what the voters wanted. Oh, wait…
A few links so we can see the context?
The easiest to find is on the grant announcement from December . Castleton United Methodist Church applied for a grant on behalf of this day program for adults , which received $10K. I know there have been others, I worked for the NEA in '89.
Like the Trinity Lutheran playground, that adult day program is on church property.
Donald Trump’s White House can’t even organize the Easter Egg Roll
45 and his wife could not possibly care less. Other peoples’ kids? - to hell with them.
Much of the discrepancy in this years slow planning seems to fall on the absence of the First Lady in Washington. Mrs. Trump, who lives in New York, has not enacted a full-staff for the East Wing, and such members have typically been responsible for leading the Easter festivities.
I think this quote answers the question about which constitution is at issue, and also redirects to the thread on the Columbia church appeal.

Sean [del]Pretzel[/del] Spicer gets all entangled by those word things and their confounded meaningy bits while telling us that Assad’s actions were unprecedented – even Hilter never used chemical weapons on his own people, for cripes sake.
From the Stillwaters website.
“What Lies Within,” a mixed media art installation for the lobby of Still Waters Adult Day Eastgate Center.
“What Lies Within” is funded in part by a Challenge America Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Seems a bit of a reach. From the PDF.

“Confounded Meaningy Bits” - band name or poetry slam group? You be the judge!
They’re using a 142-year-old amendment that was originally aimed at blocking Catholics from using public funds. I still say violating “the separation of church and state” isn’t the real issue.
It’s a War on Easter. He might win this one.
It’s those dang words ! There are just so freakin’ many of them. And they mostly all mean something different! How can anyone keep up? There should be a book or website or something to help a fella out.
Day 1- Sean Spicer says something stupid.

Dude, quit pallin’ around with Bannon.
Eric says Ivanka influence Daddy to bomb Syria.
So, in other words, Ivanka was the last person he spoke to.
