President Donald J. Trump

If the jacket is a 42 long and and not too pitted out, name your price.

Ha. Same though a latest fitter, to his credit, said "barrell-chested" so some tailoring needed. Haha.

[Lt.Uhura]

Yep. Was wondering/bitching why those countries "not on list." We should seize, or at least freeze, their assets here and in our banks (private and 'reserve.") Until sorted out. Frankly, as mentioned, I would deal with the Persians than these fake "royals" with no real history or culture- IF we must deal with Muzzies.

It was funny listening to Priebus pathetically try to use the excuse it was "Obama's list." As if they couldn't come up with their own. Trump changed the curtains in the Oval Office within days of moving in, but he couldn't come up with his own banned countries list, lol?

Do you really think this judge who made the ruling overturning Trump's Executive Order carefully went through the evidence presented, applied the various laws and precedents, and came up with that ruling?  Or do you think the ACLU went ''judge shopping'', and had a pretty good idea ahead of time how it would go?

Do you even know the name of the judge who handed down the ruling, know how long they have been on the bench, or know their history (do they often act as an "activist judge"?)

I'm not arguing that it could be that you are correct.  Heaven knows that it is not uncommon.  Just hoping that maybe you have a little insight into the case and that you might share (aside from your "feelings" or "suspicions").

I've lived in Oakland, lived within short walking distance of UC Berkeley, worked at software, hardware, and bio-tech companies.  I've paid attention to the local politicians, the local protest groups, local events, seen how it's all been reported, etc, etc. 

I know these people.  I'd like to think I have pretty good insight into the Left.

This is No Shitter #102

I've got a step son who we all thought was a  bright kid.  Got himself into Stamford with some good scholarship money.  Wanted to be a doctor. Four years later he graduated with a degree in philosophy and a job at Oracle.   We should have known it was all going pear shaped when in his sophomore year he came home on Xmas break wearing dreadlocks and a cast on his leg from a motorcycle accident.  WTF.

I know, absurb. I could make a list in my sleep of types to not allow, remove, arrest, or at least profile and invesigate. As I thought, Trump is soft on some things.

You need to ask PB to address that because I was quoting him. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I've never quite gotten the hang of how to put multiple quotes in a post. Cheers!

.. Trump changed the curtains in the Oval Office within days of moving in..

Only to match the drapes, I'd give a pass on that..

[pate]

Given a top-down methodology one would expect the curtains, then drapes followed by carpets and finally focusing like a laser on the rugs?

Makes sense to me.

bqwhatevqr, Carry On.

[GravitySucks]

Here is one for YP

I managed to live a long time without the thought of DT's carpet and drapes ever occurring to me, but you just snatched that all away from me and I'll never get that particular state of blissful unawareness back. You're despicable.

How will you know? You'll be under your bed with a pillow on your head, screaming for your mother.

The leftists on one side of the war will be zombiefied chanting nonsense like "He will Not Divide Us" meanwhile we'll have police and military on our side sweeping them up and putting them into FEMA camps where we can begin the re-education of the leftists.  Bwa-haaa-haaa-haa.  This civil war will last a week if that long.

I've been out of commission and trying to catch up on the thread.

Haha I looked for that but couldn't remember what it was called.  I forgot how good it was.  So many questions -- who is the guy drinking out of a styrofoam cup over and over?  The bad guy?  What's up with the random soccer goal at the end?

[WOTR]

Fair enough...  I suppose I could always look it up myself.  I just don't know if it there is any value in it...

he turned into a bearded hoagland and was on the run as "Dr. Dragan David Dabić"

"Karadžić had been masquerading as a "new age" expert in alternative medicine using the fake name "D.D. David" printed on his business cards. The initials apparently stood for "Dragan Dabić"; officials said he was also using the name "Dr. Dragan David Dabić". He lectured in front of hundreds of people on alternative medicine. He had his own website, where he offered his assistance in the treatment of sexual problems and disorders by using what he called "Human Quantum Energy"

[Jackstar]

Bush initiated GW2, and he's ultimately responsible.

Your glaring, blisteringly evident, and profound idiocy is an insult to anyone who has ever struggled for anything in the history of the world. Embrace seppuku.

[Jackstar]

You're aware what engineering involves I take it? Hands on stuff generally.

SEPPUKU, FUCKO

Oh lord you can't make this up!  Great story.

This civil war will last a week if that long.

It is funny you mention that.  I was listening to a radio program that was talking about the "is it right to punch a Nazi" twitter shit this weekend for a short time.  I got around to thinking that the answer is only "yes" if you are prepared for the consequences.

I had figured that the right would be the ones to kick off violence.  I figured that the left was going to keep winning elections and that a number of people on the right would be the ones to get fed up with it and find an outlet for their tensions.

Now it is the left who suddenly is worried about being out of power without voice.  The problem is that I believe that most on the left have never really contemplated violence (I'm not talking rioting... but punching others in a good old fashioned brawl like they had in Europe in the 20's in beerhalls and in the streets.)  One or two may think that punching a Nazi is a great idea- but they will not be prepared for the response.

Anyhow, I figure that eventually tensions on one side or the other will boil over.  I just figure that the left is a decade or more away from having people who will fight for what they believe.  The right, I think is a little closer to that.

We'll see...

[Jackstar]

It's clear now that Drumpf/Bannon's reckless actions in neglecting policy and procedure left various agencies confused and in the dark. It seems no one bothered to communicate with immigration at airports regarding guidelines to follow after the executive order, leaving them to clean up the mess.

You are making a cogent point here, and I respect that. (Also, those apostrophes!) Here, I can answer your question--watch this short informational filmstrip.

The White House is clearly in chaos, resulting in incompetence and dysfunction. Impeach them all!

Now, you were saying? Oh, right. Cogent point. Here, let me make one in rebuttal: the world is presently at war, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Okay let's cut the shit.  The first thing you do is to turn Medina into a sheet of glass.  Then you ask them nicely if they would like the same thing to happen to Mecca.  It's called Boomer Baseball--you play ball with us or we shove the bat up your ass.  Next case!

That's my fucking Navy.

[Jackstar]

using a condom?  Or is that just too much to expect or ask?

You seem all too eager to accept inconvenient solutions. I think you're looking for reasons to justify shooting people.

Can you pick up the pace? Or is that just too much to expect or ask?

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Fair enough...  I suppose I could always look it up myself.  I just don't know if it there is any value in it...

There's no need to look it up because it's self-explanatory and resistance is futile anyway. You'll get much better value by spending your time indulging in all the things that give you pleasure instead.

[paladin1991]

Yeah but that happens at the Legion too.  Both groups need an infusion of younger vets and there are plenty around but they don't seem to be interested.  Too bad.  Maybe after some years pass and their experiences look a little more distant in the rear view mirror they will seek the comradery that they once had.  It could be healing.  I feel for these kids.

Yeah, I feel for the poor bastards, too.  The fresher it is, the tighter you hang onto that grenade inside of you.

[JesusJuice]

Someone got punched and knocked unconscious at one of these airport protests. They then spit on him. They said it was justified because the victim was a *Nazi".

It's now normalized to punch people but only if you call them a "Nazi" first. The mainstream media such as the NY Times said it's OK.

This will escalate. Watch concealed carry types start showing up looking to get punched.

[Jackstar]

Obvious psyop is obvious. If people could legit get away with punching Nazis they would have been doing it already. These are crisis actors, like that Richard Spencer fuck, who is obviously COINTELPRO.

There is no reason to look it up because it would take me forever... The first question is which ruling we are referring to...  I suppose the question to PB and others who think that the ACLU went judge shopping is which of the judges below are they most concerned about?

US District Judge Ann Donnelly was one of the judges who ruled a stay.

US district court for Eastern Virginia Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled that permanent citizens could not be deported right now and that passengers in Dulles be permitted access to lawyers.

In Washington, US District Judge Thomas Zilly issued a stay to deport two unnamed individuals.

In Massachusetts, US District Judge Allison Burroughs and Magistrate Judge Judith G. Dein ruled that permanent residents could not be deported and that people could not be removed, deported or detained based on the executive order.

I'm sure there are other judges in other jurisdictions.  But it seems that perhaps Trumps order may not be completely legal or constitutional (that is a lot of judges to rule in one direction without, seemingly, a single defeat for the ACLU.)

***Time well spent.  Shitposting on bellgab is where I get my pleasure. 

[Jackstar]

Israel believes  that to be the case.

That's really just Evelyn de Rothschild's opinion.
