Interesting, my old law professor, John Eastman, is going to be on O’Rielly tonight talking about “California trying to become a sanctuary state”. As much as I liked Eastman, personally, he has always been something of an ideological throw back, so I’m guessing he’s not going to be down with this.

I’m assuming it’s the number of videos done by Keith since the election, no? (He did a running tally on the “Closer” series pre-election.)

It’s always interesting to see one’s instructors on TV. Haven’t had that much but my one history professor did speak with Doris Kearns Goodwin on Lincoln’s bicentennial. Richard Norton Smith btw if you guys are curious. He at least was a Republican but he worked for Ed Brooke who was really liberal and Prof Smith was fair. He especially liked my depiction of Nixon as one of the last NEw Dealers.

David Shulkin, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, said at his confirmation hearing Wednesday that he would seek “major reform and a transformation of VA” — but would not privatize the federal health care system for veterans.
“There will be far greater accountability, dramatically improved access, responsiveness and expanded care options,” Shulkin told the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. “But the Department of Veterans Affairs will not be privatized under my watch.”

Pretty much. I mean I’m deeply sorry you lost your child but you put your religious beliefs ahead of your child’s welfare. You don’t get a pass for that. In fact, if I were a judge I’d be even less sympathetic to that than a parent who panicked and had no idea what to do.If you want to put yourself in danger by not taking certain medications, that is your right but you don’t get to put your child in danger.

No! Don’t be silly! Nothing could be further from the truth!
It was last week when our President threatened to invade Mexico.
I think Trump is that insane to want to invade and occupy Mexico. He’s a 70 year old with the mentality of an undisciplined first grader.
And now he has the full power of the US military to nuke any and all enemies into oblivion… coupled with a chief of staff who wants to destroy the world altogether.
And the GOP rank-and-file will sit back and expect tax cuts.

Down at the University of Arizona in Tucson they used to display some student “newspapers” from that time period which focused on the fear of a Pancho Villa invasion. The school even recommended arming students to help out with the defense of the city.

To follow up on this, the baker is running a business, and the operation and existence of that business rely on infrastructure and a legal system that are both provided by the state. In return, the state is entitled to expect the business to serve members of the public without indulging in invidious discrimination.
Allowing religious exceptions to anti-discrimination civil rights laws effectively makes these laws pointless.

The Latest: California parole panel recommends release of Charles Manson follower. https://t.co/A0MMeeNyjM
— The Associated Press (@AP) February 2, 2017
A state panel has recommended paroling a former follower of cult leader Charles Manson after California governors blocked four previous recommendations for his release.
The 31st parole hearing for 74-year-old Bruce Davis was held Wednesday at the California Men’s Colony at San Luis Obispo.
Gov. Jerry Brown will have the final say on whether Davis is released.
Davis is serving a life sentence for the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald “Shorty” Shea.
He was not involved in the more notorious killings of actress Sharon Tate and six others by the Manson “family.”
Parole panels have decided before that Davis is no longer a public safety risk only to see governors — who have the final say on release — block his parole.

Exactly. I mean if you want to belong to a church that believes gay people and non-believers are hell bound. Fine, I can’t stop you there but if you’re operating a business that relies on our secular infrastructure and legal system, you don’t get to be exempted from anti-discrimination laws.

I’m thinking about calling my senators with some legislation I’d like them to propose: striking the last five words from the National Anthem. They sung it at a highschool basketball game I attended last night, and it occurred to me that as long as we’re turning away five-year-olds fleeing death and oppression because we’re afraid of them, calling ourselves “the home of the brave” is no longer appropriate.
re: #47 Backwoods_Sleuth
The parole board proposes and the governor disposes. No CA governor in their right mind would let a Manson follower out of jail.

My take on it is this - he MIGHT, JUST MIGHT have done a good thing, IF, AND ONLY IF there were no pictures taken, and he never, ever mentions it in his usual self-aggrandizing way.
That’s one small good thing against a mountain of shit.
But that goes away the instant he whines about people saying he doesn’t care, and here he went out of his way to fly to Dover to meet the casket.
I also more than half suspect somebody said, “Here, do this. I know it’s a pain, but if we leak it just right, it’ll humanize you.”

It’s actually interesting I wrote about CFR today. Devos’s vote is coming down to Pat Toomey who has received 54 grand from Devos and her family over the years.

Jesus. Aren’t we at the point now where it’s time to start seriously discussing how to remove Donald Trump from office before he does any more irreversible damage?
I’d have thought so. If nothing else, Congress should be asserting some kind of independence. Instead, the Administration surreptitiously recruits Congressional staffers to help write EOs, specifically prohibiting them telling their bosses, and Goodlatte says, “That’s fine.”

As we survey the wreckage of Trump’s first few days in office, it’s important to remember that most of these outrages are GOP party line, especially the substantive acts.
Pointlessly pissing off Australia is about the only substantive thing a generic Republican certainly wouldn’t have done.
A generic Republican also wouldn’t be such a thin-skinned idiot on Twitter, but that’s just a circus sideshow.

I am chuckling thinking about an entry in my grandmother’s journal she wrote in her retirement years recalling how my grandfather was let go from the NLRB but she talked about how “even a Republican could recongize a good man.” Not sure what she was referring to in specific there and it’s kind of funny since her father in law, my grandfather’s father was a Republican from what I’ve found in published professional biographeis of him.

Trump’s Australian call.
It should have been one of the most congenial calls for the new commander in chief — a conversation with the leader of Australia, one of America’s staunchest allies, at the end of a triumphant week.
Instead, President Trump blasted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over a refugee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior US officials briefed on the Saturday exchange. Then, 25 minutes into what was expected to be an hour-long call, Trump abruptly ended it.
It’s past time to get the net and straight jacket on him.

I do think you’re right about that. Even before I became a paralegal, I’ve always counted a number of friends I have a lot of ideological disagreements with. The funny thing is when we discuss politics as a family- my family is very liberal though my one brother has an independent streak and has told me that I’m too harsh on Republicans and their beliefs. Might well be but I’ve never ever used ideology as a reason not to be someone’s friend. I’m not petty. if I don’t agree with you on politics, I can find other stuff to focus on.

“Craic” (/kræk/ KRACK), or “crack”, is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. It is often used with the definite article - the craic. Here we rate the six kinds of craic (actually an English word which for some reason is in every Irish person’s soul).

From the linked articled in #177
“In the last couple years, I’ve watched leaders in the Republican Party become less and less tolerant of diverse opinions and dissenting voices,” Fukumoto said in a news release. “Today, I’m facing demands for my resignation from leadership and possible censure because I raised concerns about our President’s treatment of women and minorities. I’ve been asked by both my party and my caucus to commit to not criticizing the president for the remainder of his term and to take a more partisan approach to working in the Legislature. That is not a commitment I can make. As a representative of my community, it is my job to hold leaders accountable and to work with anyone, regardless of party, to make Hawaii a better place for our families.”
“This morning, I sent a letter to my district explaining that I would like to leave the Republican Party and seek membership in the Democratic Party,” Fukumoto said. “When I was re-elected in November, I was elected as a Republican, and I want to honor my community’s choice by consulting them before any decision is made. As I articulated in my letter, I encourage my constituents to contact me with input and provide feedback. I was elected by the people of Mililani, and I am here to represent them.”

Jeff Lord is a new name for me. From Wikipedia he seems to be a busy little shitbird:
In May 2012, Lord wrote an article in The American Spectator that compared President Barack Obama with Mao Zedong because of the similarities between Barack Obama’s slogan “Forward” and Chairman Mao’s Great Leap Forward. In the same article, he also compared Obama with the Hitler Youth due to their song “Vorwärts! Vorwärts!” (“Forward, Forward!”).
In February 2015, Lord called upon the Republican Party to demand an apology from the Democratic Party for their role in promoting and defending slavery and creating the segregationist Jim Crow system.
In June 2015, Lord wrote an open letter to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the head of the U.S. Democratic Party, asking her to apologize for her party’s role in Indian removal, promoting and defending slavery, Confederate secession, and creating segregationist Jim Crow regimes, saying that the Democrats’ historical support for such institutions contributed and contributes to the continuing existence of racism and bigotry in American society.

Yep and I remember the right wing howling and moaning about how the Obama administration even though the Bush administration started this was “going after veterans” by talking about how veterans are suspect-able to recruitment by extreme right wing orgs. And they’re right. It’s not a slight against veterans but these groups are going to go after people with know how on weaponry and guess who has a lot of know how on that.

Yes, Berkeley anarchists pretty much suck. But this is just the start of something really ugly, and Trump-Bannon is going to deliberately exploit and make it worse. Before long it won’t be just the anarchists.

Collins didn’t surprise me but Murkowski honestly did but I did hear a good point. Alaska has virtually no private schools due to how spread out its population is and Murkowski actually does have a bit of an independent streak in her.

I remember the Republicans filibustering Carter’s nomination of Theodore Sorenson to be CIA director. The Senate head count showed Sorenson would be rejected so he gave up.

This is where popular demonstrations might really deter the armchair warriors from starting anything. When the assembly and march is announced, SHOW UP.
(The reason Nixon didn’t use tactical nukes in Vietnam/SE Asia is because he was afraid of the popular reaction. DT isn’t that bright, but some people — Mattis for example — probably are.)

There’s a video of Trump getting on Marine One (on TMZ, sorry) and I swear the rotors are not going.
Bet you $100 after he saw that photo that he made them do a dead start after he boards.

No. The military creates selection lists for flag officers like any other officer.

If the rotors were turning that Marine’s hat would not be on his head. I’ve gone heli-skiing a couple of times and if the rotors are turning air is violently being displaced all around you.

The new Supremes majority may soon discover that the Founders didn’t want the POTUS to ever be sued.
I’ve fallen behind here because I was busy writing to my Democratic senators. (Text behind private tag if anyone is interested) I stopped at 3 post offices today trying to get a bunch of pre-stamped postcards and none of them carry them any more. So I went old school. Stationery. Envelopes. Fountain pen. Proper forms of address. And I kept it as brief as I could since I doubt it will be seen by anyone except overworked and underpaid staffers.

Can we please lay the blame on the fucking Republican majority and the fucking voters who put them in place first? The Republicans are breaking the fucking rules every time they don’t get their way with both the legislative and judicial branch. How are they supposed to stop this?
re: #466 Stanley Sea
Every single day is a shock event. Or they are just so fucked up?
I have always viewed the first 6 months a new administration as a sort of legislative Blitzkrieg. It is very difficult to stop. Particularly when the ruling party owns both legislative houses. Eventually, party goals are achieved and/or friction takes its course.
However, what is so discomfiting about the current regime is how actively transgressive, destructive, and reactionary it has been. My sense is that these are deliberate tactics. Crude though they are.
To my mind there is much we do not know about the current regime’s final goals. And therefore why it is doing what it is doing.
I suspect that the weakening and destruction of our current organizations and beliefs are one goal. With the replacement by Regime organizations and goals. The purge at the State Dept is one example.
Meanwhile the GOP leadership apparently thinks that they can contain the Regime.
I would guess that a few stumbles are probably viewed as nothing more than acceptable casualties. As are, most likely, the thousands of deaths that these policy changes are likely to cause.
As always, ymmv. I have been wrong before. And will likely be wrong many times in the future. I certainly hope that I am wrong here.
Trump loves Gold Star families so much he’s not wasting any time making more of them.

Bannon is suicidal. He just wants to destroy everything.
The GOP rank-and-file can’t control this regime; the regime can’t control themselves. They are both malicious and stupid. But as has been shown time and time again, these types of regimes fail in nightmarish scenes. 1793 France. 1917 Russia. 1990 Romania.
