Tap Dancing around the Truth with Trump - 44 days in for POTUS 45.

The Trump thread, continued from here:

According to the BuzzFeed article, which I must confess, I understood better than I did the ACLU Mass. comparison, the original ban Muslims order has been watered down immensely. Is that correct? And if so, why would this new order need to be blocked by Justices of the Supreme Court, please? Because of the blanket ban on people from 6 countries?

Because it is, in essence, still a Muslim ban (except for those countries he does business with). They have the capability of blocking individuals that they have issues with - but they prefer to tar everyone with the same brush. And make no mistake, once this ban is firmly in place, they will tighten it up again.

Bigly place mark. The best.

The new travel ban still has some dicey constitutional issues, writes @mjs_DC www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/03/06/trump_s_new_travel_ban_may_not_fix_all_the_legal_flaws_of_the_first_one.html …

Of what is he giving them hope, Cussing?

Thanks, Ginger. That'll keep him well in with his supporters then. Though why they can't see that he's acting in self-interest with regard to Muslim countries where he has business interests, and not acting in the best interests of the country, as he ought to be, I don't understand.

Spicer says he's "almost 100 percent certain that" Trump has not spoken with Comey since Saturday.

Talk about disorganised.

Spicer says we shouldn't trust Comey news on Trump's tweets because its anonymously sourced. Then won't say what source Trump tweet based on

He should ask Comey.

Somebody will.

The massive problem here is that Spicer is openly undermining another branch of the federal government. That is really bad.

They'll have noticed, Ginger.

And of course, to accompany his new Muslim ban EO, Trump sent out more requests for contributions......

And oh yes, the new interest... Carson, the newly approved HUD person, calling slaves brought over in slave ships "immigrants" that came here full of dreams..... Speechless. I'm just speechless.

Trump hotel project seems to have involved a $ laundering front for Iran's Revolutionary Guard #trumprussia #resist www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/3/6/14827604/trump-tower-baku …

Info is that Ivanka was very fully involved in that hotel, too, by the way.

What's a HUD person? I'm gobsnacked at his comment though. Kidnapping, brutality, murder, raps, enslavement, loss of liberty, sold like goods, and torture aside... The slaved were avtually really happy to get into America?

Mavis Housing and Urban Development. And to call slaves "immigrants" is so wrong. It's not like they willingly came over.

I got this badge at the demo on Saturday. I must have had a hundred people come up to me today and ask me where I got it from - colleagues, patients, retail staff, ticket inspectors, bus drivers and passengers and random people in the street. A pharmacist at Superdrug offered me £20 for my badge. The man that I sat next to on the bus on the way home spent the whole time shaking his head and muttering 'Donald Trump, very bad man, very racist man'.
I'm going to the anti-racist march on 18th March and happy to get badges for anyone who wants one. I can also get posters (see picture) This is a bigly movement!

Ben Carson at HUD: “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.”

Did you know that he has his own exhibit at the museum of African American History?
I hope they remove it asap.

But then he supports Trump, so what would you expect?
He is a bona fide Uncle Tom to Trump.
