monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Put me on the jury and the drivers all walk. You've got no idea what's gonna happen if you stop for those assholes, you're really talking about self defense.

Yes, couldn't have said it better myself. By the way, you are referring to Kat Timpf.

Tough to choose one color. Perhaps all plus card in blender then allow to harden and mold or cast into a small duplicate of the New York harbor lady.

It's mystifying that I have to explain this step by step, but okay. Trump has a policy regarding illegal immigration from Mexico, including illegal immigrants already in America. He felt that the judge had made a series of odd rulings against him. He wondered if the judge, because of his Mexican heritage, was mad at him because if his (Trump's) position on illegal immigration from Mexico. Now, how long will you make me clarify the obvious?

So far as I can make out, this is Bannon and perhaps Flynn as well. If you read the transcript of Bannon's 2014 remarks to a Vatican conference, it is apparent that Trump actually wishes to remake the politics of the entire western world based on his presumptions that several factors are carrying or will carry the West towards disaster: Read Here
1) secularism
2) a Muslim war on the west
3) corruption in the world of finance that leaves all but the very wealthy behind

He explicitly states that he is using Breitbart in the US and via expansion into Europe to forward the far right parties there who hold some similar notions. His campaign for Brexit is just one part of this.

The first is pretty much boilerplate movement conservative ideology which has emerged out of evangelical and the radical side of Catholicism in the US.

The second is today's version of the great and fearful external and existential threat - apparently a necessary aspect of conservative worldview. With the USSR gone, something had to take its place.

The third is interesting. Of course, this notion has a firm grip on the Sanders crowd and had on the Occupy Movement and it has an understandable purchase on most people who see the growing divide between rich and poor, or who watch central figures in the economic collapse escape without punishment and with even far more wealth. This feature of modern society was also a big part of what animated the Tea Party.

But to what degree Bannon actually believes these people are the "enemy" isn't easy to ascertain as he's bright enough to understand how a political movement (which is is definitely pushing and trying to define its contours and you can see the influence on Trump here with his "greatest movement world has ever seen rhetoric) would in this present time profit from inclusion of this notion. And we all know how this Trump administration includes a lot of finance types that Bannon is including as bad guys.

On 6/4/14, Trump tweeted

Apparently, he really, really wanted an answer to this query.

What amazes me is that these guys in DC are like poultry. I have a herd of chickens who go out and cluck around the pastures living a life defiant of predators etc. What Ive anthropomorphized in their behavior is that they "Plan ahead" and live free and defy the predators. NOT SO, they live the life of any creature fitted with a primitive brain pan. They have abilities only to respond , not plan.They have memories about 3 minutes long .
We see the same damn things in this admin, they display no apparent recognition that their public actions have a nexus with history, or even recognition of the rule of law. Theyre just free wheelin like some 14 year old who stole a car even though hes never driven before.

I hear that Mark Russell has announced his retirement. He states that humorists are, today, in a "Target rich environment" almost like no other time in history save the cutlery- happy regime of Henry VIII.

Do they also question the incendiary bombing of Tokyo where about the same number of people were burned alive?

There is no logic to the special consideration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Nor is there any to that for civilians in that war. Civilians are the ones who hire the 'hitmen' to do their wet work for them. We prosecute those who engage in murder for hire, why should war be any different?

Please let him be impeached soon.

It is a primitive crew. Trump doesn't have the inclination nor talent nor interest in planning or dealing with complexity. But I do think there is some strategy in here to create confusion through randomness and multi-vector initiatives and noise. Trump has always operated that way but Bannon, I think, is complimentary in that he is something very like an anarchist (I'm trying to get studied up more on him now).

For humorists, it clearly is a target-rich environment. But my impression is that the present is almost too much of a bad thing. Artists and creative types are pretty uniformly in a state of shock and dismay at what's going on. Depression and frustration and anger surface pretty commonly (though this may be improving after the initial blow to sensibilities). It's difficult to keep humor and satire light in the present. I just read a wonderful line from Emily Nussbaum who wrote, "Jokes are a superior way of telling the truth". But I think humor of that sort (not mean, just really smart and insightful and original) might require a more quiet environment.

Maybe it takes a Trump to bring us all together?

There are 50 majority-muslim countries.
Trump's action uses Obama's list, and only affects seven of them.
How can it be called a "Muslim ban"?

The 'protestors' are actually more likely organized by operatives financed by George Soros.

Imagine Sarah Palin tweeting to some critics that they need to go to the library and work hard to get themselves educated in in the sphere of, say, the pre-history of the Mediterranean basin.

History will show that some presidents protected us from terrorism; others protected us from a pipeline.
