My strategy re: Trump has evolved into a place where I ignore everything he says because he's an inflammatory idiot and focus on what he does. Fixating on all the stuff he might do is the path of outrage fatigue and disengagement :sigh:

That's the current "short list" for Trump's nominations. Pryor is on that list. Who is William Pryor?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Pryor_Jr.#cite_ref-26

quote:

Despite the fact that the 108th United States Congress was controlled by the Republican Party, Senate Democrats refused to allow Pryor to be confirmed, criticizing him as an extremist, citing statements he had made such as referring to the Supreme Court as "nine octogenarian lawyers" and saying that Roe v. Wade was the "worst abomination in the history of constitutional law."[25]

During the confirmation hearing, Pryor was criticized in particular for filing an amicus brief on behalf of the State of Alabama in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Lawrence v. Texas that urged the Court to uphold Texas penal code § 21.06, which classifies homosexual sex as a misdemeanor.[26] Pryor's brief argued that the recognition of a constitutional right to sodomy would "logically extend" to activities like "prostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, incest and pedophilia."[27][28][29]

No, because people in the mainstream still believe she got our boys killed over in 'ghazi (even though the clearly partisan investigation lasted longer and was more expansive than the 9/11 commission) and all these people connected to her and bill have ~mysteriously died before~ and etc. Like, this is not tinfoil wearing level stuff here- "normal, regular" people sincerely believe this stuff. The server thing was just a nice bonus.

I'm not really expecting a 9/11. Much easier to car bomb a Trump hotel in some foreign country with much less national stability and security. It would also actually be noticed by the orange hate-goblin. Remember, his reaction to 9/11 was to brag about how he had taller buildings now. Take out a Trump hotel and the fucker will go ape poo poo.

Liz Cheney Wants Enhanced Interrogation Torture To Come Back Under Trump

quote:

PHILADELPHIA – Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) came out in strong support of a draft executive order that suggested President Donald Trump would re-examine the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and CIA black sites that were banned under the Obama administration.

Cheney, whose father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, was defender of the program under the Bush administration, said that without enhanced interrogation, the U.S. was less safe.

"I would support very much the idea that we're going to review and that's what the executive order does. I think that it's been clear, certainly since we stopped the enhanced interrogation program, we're not even in a position any more, frankly, where we're very often capturing people. We have nothing to do with people when we do capture them," Cheney said.

"What we know is that the enhanced interrogation program provided some of the information and some of the evidence that eventually led us to be able to locate, capture and kill Bin Laden so I do support enhanced interrogation," Cheney said. "I do think it's something that clearly has helped us in the past to prevent attacks and save lives so I was glad to see President Trump take that step."

I love how he thinks the phones at his desk are the most beautiful phones he's ever seen when they're intentionally a couple generations behind the latest generation of Cisco IP phones and thus several years old. More stable long term firmware etc.

Trump wants to investigate voter fraud because he was told a story by “the very famous golfer, Bernhard Langer,” about how Langer was in line to vote and people in front and behind him were allowed to provisionally cast ballots even though they "did not look as if they should be allowed to vote" supposedly from Latin American countries.

quote:

Just one problem: Mr. Langer, who lives in Boca Raton, Fla., is a German citizen with permanent residence status in the United States who is, by law, barred from voting, according to Mr. Langer’s daughter Christina.

“He is a citizen of Germany,” she said, when reached on her father’s cellphone. “He is not a friend of President Trump’s, and I don’t know why he would talk about him.”

He told this story to Congressional leaders that basically reacted with :stare:
