General Kelly, who has served in the military for 46 years (every war since Vietnam) had to literally tell Bannon he doesn't answer to him.

Ivanka has worn a stunning coat in public (see heated S+B thread Grin)

Drive-by shooting? Is that not all part of what Trump considers 'great' about Ameriga?? Hmm

Cave She's not officially said anything yet, but she's hosted some business people for a dinner at her home "unofficially" to discuss government business, she's sitting in on official meetings (without an appropriate clearance level, from what I can gather) and she attended that soldier's transport with him (apparently it's usually FLOTUS that does that).

I expect her to full take over FLOTUS duties - they're stalling re his wife I'll bet.

NYC was up in arms over the cost of the FLOTUS and son living in NYC as it's costing them a fortune, so they said it's only be until school ends, but I suspect at that point they will come up with another reason they have to stay there.

POTUS's attack on Judge Robart shows a disdain for an ind. judiciary that doesn't bend to his wishes & lack of respect for the Constitution.

BREAKING: Homeland Security won't direct airlines to keep visa-holders covered by Trump order from boarding US-bound planes.

So they are backing down for the moment.....

I can't get Pacific's link up? It just comes up with Outlook mail... maybe it's best!

This is a very interesting article about Trump's 'courtiers'. What a good name for them.

Lweji, no, it's funny, not awful.
Well, it does have a rendering of The Great Orange One on it, to be fair.

That works for me now, Pacific. (Although I rather wish it hadn't!)

When I was a kid, America was like you fun big cousin - everything bigger, newer, more advanced, exciting... Now it's like finding out that your first crush is a child molester. I can't stomach any American films or TV ATM.

Billionaire Wall Street trader Vincent Viola withdraws from secretary of Army nomination, citing business ties abcn.ws/2kbKgeC

I have to admit I wondered if this guy really was worried about business ties, or if he just saw what a supreme cluster fuck this whole situation was and thought "um... no... "

Fucking handy

We will build a wall

Except part of the wall will be fences...and part of it will be sensors

And when you google map there will be huge parts missing....and they will just say "well thats the bit with the sensors...obvs Shock"

Its in-fucking-sane

GingerIvy · 04/02/2017 15:53

Yep. There will be a wall.... except where there isn't....
