And Larry Summers speaks out strongly anti-Trump in a 4-minute interview with Bloomberg:
Strong support of Lindsey Graham and John McCain in their pushback, basically wondering if every business leader except Jeff Immelt has lost their balls, being intimidated by a tweet or a threat from a one-week president, says "every American should be concerned."

Hey Larry, what about me, I got balls:
Starbucks vows to hire 10,000 refugees after Trump travel ban
Coffee chain unveils plan to hire staff first in US and then across its global operations amid ‘deep concern’ over president’s order (The Guardian)
of course I also sell coffee allover the damn world, but let's not be cyncial.

What a lying bunch of goof-balls! The Muslim ban came out on Friday. Delta's computer glitch was Sunday night! They cannot possibly last 4 years. BTW, the link Barefooted put up on another thread is definitely worth a read. One fact it brings out is that trump officially put in his paperwork to run in 2020, which may allow him to accept donations. I'd like to know more about this.

It's this one - and yeah, so would I.

The situation is so bad that Obama felt compelled to address the disaster after only nine days of Trump

I read it, the geek who wrote it is obviously a brilliant guy, quite impressive conspiracy theory. Which made me think back to 2004 @ Agonist blog when I liked to ask: which is it? Bush can't be both an evil genius and the "miserable failure" (of the infamous Google Bomb) and idiot chimp at the same time.

OKAY NOW THIS COULD BE THE TURNING POINT, TRUMP FANS CAN'T CLOSE THEIR EARS ANYMORE (yes, I'm shouting):

Trump supporters are deaf. We have to work on Democrats and Independents.

Schumer's trying to get a vote on it ASAP
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/30/politics/donald-trump-muslim-ban-immigration-bill/index.html
but you have to write something to vote on it and they just got bombed with the new one on "2 for 1" and then they will get hit tomorrow night with the first evah BIG HUGE BIG primetime announcement of a Supreme Court nominee. Let the media do the feeding of the troll while the grownups figure out how to do something calmly and correctly? What else can be done when you're being bombed? As a former president used to say: strategery.
by artappraiser on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 5:03pm
The speed of the hits ties into the link about Sessions you provided over in the "2 for 1" news item.
Schumer may know how to play chess, but can he play Twister?
by moat on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 5:15pm
yeah, also too, he really is a true troll! quote > Trump wanted to slow things down for maximum news exposure
so I've been helping to feed. my bad.

You found out - this is all designed to use up our free reads and force us to pay for subscriptions. Nagware couldn't do it - only insane clown posse news could. Hear that, Wolraich? Crazy like a fox.
by PeraclesPlease on Mon, 01/30/2017 - 8:10pm
evidence he might be slowing down
Of course, it might just be that in true troll fashion he wants everyone in the country to start screaming about his Supreme Court nominee so that he can do lots of other stuff off the radar.

There are ways to slow things to a crawl (which will put the Republicans in Trump's notoriously impatient cross hairs) - it is the Senate, after all.

and some Republicans, too. Speaking of him made me hunt this up, just for fun as I leave:

The world will cower in fear when Bannon unleashes his next Trumpian Wonder Weapon, I mean secret unvetted executive order.
If this insane administration collapses, will Bannon emulate his idol, Josef Goebbels....(whose secretary just died this week at 106). Goebbels committed suicide along with his wife when the Third Reich was annihilated. And he poisoned his 6 kids. I guess that's why Untergropingfuhrer Rinse Pubis says the Holocaust wasn't just the Jews...all those Nazi suicides...
