Unless the SCOTUS has no problem with ICE becoming America's Gestapo.

Immigration related arrests are already up almost 40%, but deporations are down. Criteria for arrest is simply being undocumented and there is really no pretense about whether any other crimes have ever been committed. Trump is on a mission to fill private prisons with people who are better than himself. And the SCOTUS will not stop it any more than it stopped private prisons and mass incarceration up to this point.

AFAIK it's still being held back by the press. They heard the actual audio, but it's not been released to the public yet.

Wait until he criticizes Islam in KSA.

Might not be wrong by our laws but blasphemy is pretty severely punished in KSA.

Flynn says he told the transition team. Pence led the transition team. Trump knew. McGhan knew.

And yet …

Vice President Mike Pence is standing by his March claim that he learned about Michael Flynn’s Turkish lobbying work through the media, even as a new report indicates Flynn informed the transition team in January that he was under federal investigation for not properly disclosing the paid work.

Why is Mike Pence sticking to this claim? Probably because in the interval between when Flynn told the transition team and when it leaked that Flynn had told the transition team, Mike Pence was all over the airwaves, feigning shock at Flynn’s foreign agent-ness. This isn’t something about which it’s easy to say “Oh, unregistered foreign agent for a anti-democratic autocrat in Turkey? I completely forgot he told us about that!” It’s also not easy for Pence to explain away all the times he’s gone on television to pretend he didn’t know. So, even though he knew and we know he knew, Mike Pence will continue to pretend like he was the most ignorant man on a team headed by Donald Trump.

Pence is a dolt. He's like the French movie star Henri Devereaux in The French Connection. Just a patsy.

So I turned on Rush for ten minutes this morning. Can't make this **** up. He was criticizing Bob Beckel....for having gone to rehab for pain meds once after getting hooked on them after a surgery. It takes a special kind of talent to be that shameless. The next little segment was about how of course it was the one liberal of The Five, not Watters or any of the deplorables, that was racially insensitive and we should all take super close note of that.

That's essentially the same SCOTUS that has spent the last thirty years tearing down the fourth amendment and even voting rights. They aren't opposed to that stuff.

Until it comes out in the media, in which case he admits it. Aside from that very last thing though, he's done nothing wrong.

Exactly. He was literally tearing into the guy for something that has personally happened to him.

Trump will not insult Islam in SA. He won't even hint at it. They are a client, they are rich, he's a snake oil salesman and they are the audience,

he owns property in SA

Trump's Twitter account says your objection is invalid.

I don't know what the law is on shooting Steve Bannon, but in general I'm sure they have an obligation to prevent (if possible) or respond to a crime like cold-blooded murder.

Could always hope for a jury that knows about jury nullification I suppose.

Wow Comey is 6' 8'' tall apparently. Did not know that. Makes him trying to blend in with the curtains even funnier.

This is one of them boring times from the pre-Comey-firing era. We need a bombshell story to drop soon, before this thread gets used to treating Trump like a normal human.
