President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yeah, they are still members. It's just that instead of sitting in on all the NSC meetings:

"The director of national intelligence and the joint chiefs will attend when discussions pertain to their areas.

Under previous administrations, the director and joint chiefs attended all meetings of the NSC's inner circle, the principals' committee."


If Trump wants to invite Bannon, his advisor, that's his right. Booting the DNI and the Chairman of the JCS means that tons of institutional knowledge, experience, and intelligence assets won't be there. Fucking stupid, but Trump has a bad case of "What do you mean I can't do that, I'm the President!" so he does not want them around. I can't wait for the day he says something that sets off Mad Dog Mathis.

 

The only thing that pops up on a search for Judicial Branch on the website is under State and Local Government

Multiple dead reported at a mosque in Montreal tonight.

 

Quebec City. Five dead.

5 dead after shooting at Quebec city mosque: mosque president

 

Shootings in both cities, or did we just confuse Montreal with Quebec City?

 

They hate the courts after the gay marriage rulings and such.
The courtroom is the one place conservatives have regularly had their clock cleaned, for over 50 years.
Trump showed the sort of respect he has for the courts when he talked about the "Mexican" jurist.

 

Inky might have. Lead story on montrealgazette.com is Quebec City shootings.

 

Yep, still licking their wounds after Citizens United, NLRB, Schuette and Hobby Lobby. It's been brutal, just brutal.

 

My bad. Saw a tweet a few minutes earlier. By the time I thought to post it here, I screwed it up.

Sorry.

 

FAKE NEWS! It was really a Church of the Holy Bible Brethren in Fartsmeller, Idaho, and nobody was shot, but Ida Mae Poovey did have her kerchief knocked off. #signoftheendtimes
