Week Three of Trump

After blocking Elizabeth Warren, Mitch McConnell lets Oregon Dem Jeff Merkley finish reading King letter

An Oregon Democrat defied Senate Republicans by reading into the record a letter from Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) had been stopped from sharing hours earlier.

Coretta Scott King warned 30 years ago that Jeff Sessions – now a senator and the nominee for U.S. attorney general – was an unacceptable candidate for federal judge due to his record on civil rights and racial justice.

Warren attempted to read that 1986 letter as the Senate considers Sessions for President Donald Trump’s cabinet, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) cut her off.

“She was warned, she was given an explanation,” McConnell said. “Nevertheless, she persisted.”

GOP senators voted 49-43 along party lines to stop the Massachusetts Democrat from reading any more of King’s letter, saying Warren was impugning Sessions’ character — but one of her Democratic colleagues came to her defense later.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) read King’s letter to then-Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) — a notorious “Dixiecrat” during the civil rights era — opposing Sessions as too racist to serve on a federal court.

“Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters,” King wrote in the letter.

I guess Mitch only feels comfortable browbeating women. It looks like Sen. Merkly might be a bit more 'athletic' than the Turtle.

The "Honorable Senator from Kentucky" impugned the Honor of a speaking Senator and should be censured by the Senate for his actions. The 'Honorable Senator from Alabama' should be required to answer for all his actions and deeds during his conformation filibuster.

Jeff Flake on Elizabeth Warren: ‘We ought to have decorum on the Senate floor’

"We have rules of decorum in the Senate, just like in the House of Representatives - Rule 19. It's been in effect for more than a hundred years," Mr. Flake, Arizona Republican, said on "Fox & Friends."

"So you don't impugn another member's character, and I think it's a good rule," he said

I believe the truth does not impugn, but illuminates the dark heart of the racist cowards that would deny the rights of any citizens to vote.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to reinstate Trump’s Muslim travel ban

On Tuesday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals conducted an hour-long phone hearing to determine the future of President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration. Namely, three federal judges determined whether a restraining order against Trump’s travel ban would remain in place. The court announced a decision on the ban on Thursday, Feb. 9 and ultimately ruled unanimously against reinstating the travel ban.

‘LOOOOOOOOSER!’: The internet mocks Trump’s loss from the Ninth Circuit

Not long after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals announced their ruling to stop the ban put in place by President Donald Trump’s executive order, the internet erupted with laughter, mockery and shame for the new leader.

“Rather than present evidence to explain the need for the Executive Order, the Government has taken the position that we must not review its decision at all,” the court wrote in its repudiation of the order.

Trump didn’t take long to respond, saying that he would “SEE YOU IN COURT.” The mockery went even further from there.

Do click on the story, there are some clever GIF's in the Tweets.

The tone of Trump's response reminds me of Draco Lucius Malfoy and Prince Joffrey Baretheon/Lannister. Very immature for a 70 year old man that is POtUS.

‘He doesn’t like this sh*t’: Trump reportedly hates his job and his staff after less than a month

After less that a month, Trump is fed up. Nobody likes him and he can't play golf on the White House lawn!

After just three weeks on the job, President Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the realities of trying to run the U.S. government the way he manages his family-owned business.

Politico interviewed nearly two dozen people who have spent time with the former real estate developer and reality TV star since his inauguration — and they said Trump’s “mood has careened between surprise and anger as he’s faced the predictable realities of governing,” according to the report.

“The interviews paint a picture of a powder-keg of a workplace where job duties are unclear, morale among some is low, factionalism is rampant and exhaustion is running high,” Politico reported. “Two visitors to the White House last week said they were struck by how tired the staff looks.”

Trump would like to shake up his White House staff less than a month into the job but knows it’s too soon, the website reported, and aides joke that the president would like to spend even more time golfing at his Mar-A-Lago resort.

Sources close to Trump said he’s infuriated by the profusion of leaks revealing his confrontational phone calls with world leaders and the herky-jerky inner workings of the White House.

Well it looks like our efforts are working, pile it on folks!

Resist, Oppose, Impeach Today!​
