monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

A federal judge in Hawaii issued a nationwide order Wednesday evening blocking President Trump’s ban on travel from parts of the Muslim world, dealing a political blow to the White House and signaling that proponents of the ban face a long and risky legal battle ahead.

The ruling was the second frustrating defeat for Mr. Trump’s travel ban, after a federal court in Seattle halted an earlier version of the executive order last month. Mr. Trump responded to that setback with fury, lashing out at the judiciary before ultimately abandoning the order.

But Mr. Trump evidently failed in that goal:

Trump will never understand why he's being reversed on his EO. Once a bigot..........

No kidding! Rep. King is one of the stupidest humans on the planet who unfortunately has a lot of company in stupidville.

Understood. No source of pride for me in this. There's no reason to feel special when you are disliked by people who are simply stupid.

Talk about self hating, I can't think of any group that describes more than older rural Americans who keep voting for republicans.

Didn't she also break the law by conning her president into invading a nation, and having the leader murdered in the street without a trial?

As Gent (and I) has repeatedly pointed out, this is complete bullshit, yet the lying left wing media and their useful idiots will repeat it endlessly.

As the CBO itself notes, it's estimates are not of people "losing" coverage. They just believe that about 14,000,000 who are currently FORCED (by being subject to heavy penalty) to buy insurance will choose not to buy it (or at least not the crappy product Obamacare gives them no choice about). Not buying a TV is not "losing" a TV.

I'll try not to point this out again. I'll just count the number of stooges who consciously repeat this distortion ad infinitum.

I think you have here encapsulated the reasons why Democrats lost most of their former constituents in the last election and why they (and you, it appears) still don't understand what happened.

Ya know Im noticing how Trump is slowly slipping into irrelevancy.
Anybody comment on that?

Is he worried?

I think you may have it backwards. My impression is that the Democrat/media hysterics are what is fading in its effects. The shrill noise has been going on for a long time but nothing concrete has emerged from it. People are tuning it out.

Go ahead and keep pointing it out. Facts are to liberals like garlic is to vampires.

Advising military action is hardly a crime.

And Kadaffy deserved his fate.

The higher court will support the lower court.

Our country does not discriminate based on religion.

It was supposedly on humanitarian grounds, same BS story they used in Iraq.

No plans for the nation after the illegal invasion, same BS story for Iraq.

I'm not surprised you bought the propaganda about him. You seem to fall easily for it. Every time.

Now, wait a minute.

It looks like ACA topped out with a max of 18 million enrollees. Now, we may potentially lose perhaps 14 million from present (lower) enrollment, and it looks like they were bullied into acceptance by threat of penalties. It looks like the general population isn't much impressed. In fact, it looks like a lot of money spent for almost nothing in terms of public acceptance.
