Here we are, a mere 11 days into the Трамп administration, and things don’t seem to be going well. For anyone. It is time for a drink! So join us tonight for an evening of resistance and venting over a drink of choice at this week’s Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally
We meet every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern beginning about 8pm.
Can’t make it to Seattle? Check out one of the other 199 chapters of Living Liberally, including ninteen in Washington state, three in Oregon and one in Idaho. Find, or go out and start, a chapter near you.
First round toast to Sally Yates.
Somewhere she’s drinking free tonight!
And raise glasses to Gov. Inslee, AG Ferguson, and Mayor Murray for their leadership in the face of bullying ineptitude at the federal level. It’s good to know majority rule still produces good leaders, even as a well-distributed minority of Chumped voters nationwide has utterly humiliated America on the world stage.
Hillbillies have utterly humiliated themselves.
Nothing new about that.
The strength of Hillbilly Jesus, like his business acumen, his mastery of women, and his intelligence, is a facade.
After Sally Yates humiliated the Putin-Puppet in front of the world, his response is classic. Not once, but twice in the statement’s opening lines he refers to Ms. Yates as “weak”. A holdover, “acting” AG pulled out of the ranks with no hold on office, no constituency, no real authority over the agency, and absolutely no administration loyalty or sponsorship. Politically? Who could be weaker. And yet this “weak” individual humiliated Hillbilly Jesus in front of his followers, upset one of his most important first acts as Preznit, and may ultimately deprive Trailer Trump leaders in the Senate of one of their most potent weapons against Hillbilly state Democrats.
If she’s weak, what exactly does that make the Pussy-Grabbing Putin-Puppet?
One week in and the Administration is lost. Follow the dots.
Really bad idea Immigration order signed and expected to be followed immediately leading to confusion, chaos, protests.
Joint Chiefs (military) removed from National security council.
State and HHS leak that the first they knew of Immigration order was when it showed up on the news.
Implication, DerTrumper will not seek opinion of Joint Chiefs or State or HHS or any department that might think something is either a bad idea or illegal.
It will take eons to get every employee of those departments replaced by a DerTrumper Youth party member and there is ZERO incentive for these people to keep quiet.
Drip, drip, drip, drip…
And it’s not just the Putin-Puppet looking weak here.
Not content to screw up the legislative politics to burnish his microphallus, Hillbilly Pussy-Grabber is also co-opting Congressional staff and humiliating the Hillbilly majority. Golden-ShowerBoy even went so far as to compel House staff to sign NDAs prohibiting them from informing their bosses.
Weakness and humiliation just seems to radiate forth from the Hillbilly Jesus!
Fun with Rasmussen.
Strongly disapprove 41% Strongly Approve 35%
It took President Obama six months to hit his first negative on the Rasmussen scale. But don’t worry. Fox News has lots of OpEds on how popular Trump is so it’s fine.
The Story of the Trump administration, is a bunch of guys who start out at the bottom, and with a lot of hard work continue along the bottom, and finally end up at the bottom. (H/T to Flight of the Conchordes
“Most want Mexico to pay for part of the wall.” Rasmussen
GREAT! We asked Americans if Mexico should pay. They said yes. Mexico will get right on that.
Not polled, what percentage of American’s would accept a free Cadillac if offered. A full 90% of Americans surveyed want the FDA to reclassify bacon as healthy to eat at every meal.
“They could have waited a couple days, and they would have done better. I think some of this stuff is they’re learning how to roller skate. They can’t understand in advance, they have to do it for the first time.”
Wow. When a perverted crooked toothless Hillbilly-Hasbeen like Newt Gingrich compares you to a child falling down while learning to roller skate, you know you’ve got some serious weakness.
Also a humiliatingly small penis.
The danger to America’s values, prosperity, and security is clear and present. The time to 25th Amendment the Manchurian Candidate is now, not next week, next month, or six months from now.
@9,
We Elites are going to have to learn to pay attention to more than one thing at a time.
The Trailer Trump majority in Congress is fully supporting every single part of this. Watch what they do, not what they say. When the cameras aren’t rolling they are pouring unleaded on the Hillbilly Dumpster Fire. And when the cameras roll, they are pretending to be surprised, even shocked (!) at the size of the fire! The Putin-Puppet’s unhinged weakness is their strength. They will feed off it.
@8 You’re supposed to know how to “roller skate” BEFORE you get to the White House. That’s why we elect veteran politicians to our nation’s highest office; the presidency is not an entry-level job. Putting Trump in that position is like sending a beginning skater to the Olympics. The stupid voters who did that ensured that America will finish in last place.
The Dow is down another 160 points today. The markets aren’t speaking; they’re shouting.
Yesterday, I noted both the DJIA and S&P 500 closed almost exactly where they were on Dec. 20. Thus, the “Trump rally” lasted only 6 weeks, then the stock market leveled off and seesawed within a narrow range for 6 weeks, and now it appears that the “Trump rally” may be shifting into reverse. Markets don’t like uncertainty, not to mention chaos, and the Trump regime resembles a kindergarten without a teacher.
No trolls today. Are they in hiding or detention?
No, Obama didn’t do the same thing.

But you’re going to hear this spin, if you haven’t already. This article will give you ammunition to refute it.
So, if Trump cracks down on Silicon Valley’s foreign workers, will that open up well-paying jobs to native-born hillbillies with tractor driving and corn shucking skills?
Although the Trump Follies are drawing attention away from it, let us not forget that the terrorist who murdered six innocent people and wounded several others at a Quebec mosque is a racist rightwing Trump admirer.

@20 You’re underestimating the depravity of Republican voters. They’re perfectly capable of voting for someone like Trump. Would you like proof?
The NRA’s two big goals under Trump’s presidency:
(1) Nationalize concealed carry permits; i.e., a CCW issued by one state is good in all 50 states; and
(2) Legalize silencers, so when future Adam Lanzas walk into elementary schools, their guns will go pfft! pfft! pfft! instead of bang! bang! bang! This will avoid upsetting the children with loud noises while they’re being slaughtered.

@15,
it’s very easy to move coding jobs around and to outsource them. More than anything it comes down to quality of life. The candidates with the most talent have tended to desire a life in clean, well regulated, well educated, advanced, urban communities with good schools, good healthcare, quality homes in safe neighborhoods, and lots of amenities.
Not Mumbai. But not Altoona either.
It’s been said before, that what Trailer Trump Americans need most is a U-Haul.
A new Reuters poll shows that 49% of Americans “strongly” or “somewhat” agree with Trump’s executive order on immigration while 41% “strongly” or “somewhat” disagree.
The responses broke largely along partisan lines. 51% of Republicans “strongly agree” and 53% of Democrats “strongly disagree.”
https://www.axios.com/plurality-of-americans-agree-with-travel-ban-2228954181.html
Huh. Look at that. The link includes the words ‘plurality of Americans agree with travel ban’.
Doesn’t seem like enough to cause your own firing over. But then, I don’t see the point of setting oneself afire, either. Comes with not being a liberal.

Doesn’t seem like enough to cause your own firing over.
Is that really what happened? I mean, as one of dozens of key 2.25 term Obama appointees prolonged in place by Hillbilly incompetence, wasn’t she destined to be fired eventually, no matter what? Perhaps sooner than most given that she was acting as AG.
Her firing was inevitable. She used it as an opening to weaken and humiliate an incompetent Putin-Puppet. Something Preznit Derp might have seen coming if he wasn’t so preoccupied with his “sizes”. As one of Hillbilly Jesus’ defenders I don’t blame you for trying. But you need to do a better job than that.
Doesn’t seem like enough to cause your own firing over.
That’s because constitutionality and morality are not decided by random public opinion polls, or by the size of one’s paycheck, or how impressive one’s job

But we don’t expect you to understand any of that.

I think things seem to be going well enough.
I couldn’t agree more, under the circumstances.
2.25 term Exotic Blaaaaack President Obama is still at least 90% in control of the executive branch.

@30 Yes, there have been a few terrorist incidents on U.S. soil, although none by individuals from the 7 countries subjected to the travel ban. But real men hunt down and kill the terrorists, while Trump and his supporters cower in fear of 5-year-old boys.

Btw, when did you ever ask for proof for any of the outlandish allegations against Obama or the Clintons? Bit of a double standard?
Obviously, 13-year-old girls with $300 to their name who are molested by billionaires can’t get justice in our court system, but that won’t be a problem much longer. Pretty soon they’ll be able to carry guns with silencers to these trysts. Pfft! Pfft! Problem solved.
Yates is a terrific public servant, but I think she’s made a serious mistake here. This is a holdover heroism. It’s so easy to be a heroine when you’re not appointed by this president and when you’re on the other side. She made a serious mistake. I think what she should have done is done a nuanced analysis of what parts of the order are constitutional, what parts are in violation of the statute, what parts are perfectly lawful. There’s an enormous distinction between green card holders on the one hand, people who are in the country and have to be thrown out on the second hand, and people who are simply applying to get visas. There is also a distinction between what’s constitutional, what’s statutorily prohibited, what’s bad policy. This is very bad policy, but what’s lawful. And I think by lumping all of them together, she has made a political decision, rather than a legal one. – Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz, libtard legal mind extraordinaire.
Puddy will listen to Dershowitz every day of the week over the early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Roger DUMBFUCK wabbit! A real legal mind vs. a has been senile fool!

“I do not believe a federal court will view this as a Muslim ban,. I don’t think the court can. Regardless of what the court may think of President Trump’s motivations, the fact that other Muslim countries are not included is going to move that off the table and what’s going to be left is whether the president has this type of authority. Historically courts have said that he does.” – Turley

“We’re waiting for the briefing tomorrow, a pause may be necessary. We’re going to look at it.”
@37 ” … the assailant entered their mosque yelling, “Allahu Akbar!” before opening fire … ”
I don’t think so. That comes from the same witnesses who said there were three shooters. There was one. Things were very confusing under fire inside the mosque. Of all the 50-plus people there, the shooter was the least likely to (a) speak Arabic or (b) appeal to Allah. On the other hand, if I’m an Arabic-speaking Muslim worshipper who has just taken an AK-47 slug through the gut, I might yell “Allahu Akbar!” Whereas, if I’m a white English-speaker, and I’ve just been shot, I might scream “Oh, God!” or “Oh, shit!” depending on how agnostic I am.* You’re so fucking stupid you should be in the periodic table as an inert element.

“I do not believe a federal court will view this as a Muslim ban,.”
It’s not a federal court that counts. It’s intended to be viewed as a Muslim ban by the most gullible of liberals.
Say, anyone heard from the Fucking Moron lately?
@42 Interestingly, Dershowitz didn’t say whether he thinks the result would have been any different.
@44 “Bill Clinton and up to 50 underage girls”
Got any proof? Didn’t think so.
@49 “Say, anyone heard from the Fucking Moron lately?”
Yes, both of you just posted.
The link includes the words ‘plurality of Americans agree with travel ban’.
Obviously, those pollsters have not asked everyone:
In the declaration submitted with the AG’s lawsuit, Amazon’s senior manager of mobility and immigration Ayesha Blackwell-Hawkins explained that at least 49 of its employees were born in countries the Trump administration has targeted with its executive order. The company has reached out to these employees—and their families—to tell them to either cancel their trips to the United States if they’re traveling, or to refrain from traveling outside the States if they’re already here.
Amazon is a very successful Seattle-born company, but you got Chumped by a con man on the teevee. So there.
Live on your knees.
It’s intended to be viewed as a Muslim ban by the most gullible of liberals.
Just as Preznit Putin-Puppet is intended to be viewed as a masterful and commanding Great Leader by the most gullible of hillbillies – which is to say pretty much all of them if Stephen Bannon is to be believed.
But the way this is supposed to work is that Preznit Putin-Puppet gathers his cheer squad into a photo session for the signing show of strength, and the SJWs are shocked (!) and driven to extremes. Not supposed to shock (!) his own majority in Congress and half his cabinet picks, only to have the spotlight stolen away by some nameless bureaucrat’s open defiance.
The way he’s doing it turns the show of strength into a demonstration of disorganized weakness.

Actually, rather than being an added benefit, that last part is the main one.
“Tied” to Trailer Trump America, indeed. There appears to be no turning back from total ownership now. Not even in Congress.
But the question remains in spite of all the “Tweeting”, is it strength or is it weakness? Looking an awful lot like weakness to many, including Vlady. But also I suspect to more than a few Trailer Trump voters.

You OK with Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, HP, Cisco, et al. keeping their cash overseas until there’s a Democrat president and a Democrat-controlled Congress which together can force taxation of unrepatriated monies, YLB?
What if Trump plans to use repatriation taxes to pay for infrastructure investments, YLB? You willing to give those up because you insist on 35% tax on already-taxed profits if they are repatriated?
No reason Apple needs to bring the money back in – Apple borrows money by issuing long-dated low-interest bonds backed by offshore cash, and uses that money to buy back stock and issue dividends, then takes a tax deduction on the interest it does pay. Meanwhile the cash pile keeps growing.
You really think that Dems have leverage to stop that behavior without lowering taxes on offshore income already taxed by other countries?
Really, YLB?

But I have seen him up close and in action, both in court and on the Federal Appellate Rules Committee (where both of us serve); he brings a sense of fairness and decency to the job, and a temperament that suits the nation’s highest court.
