I stand corrected, but it begs the question of why are there only government issued current pictures? Access denied to the public? I may have posted an inaccurate photo, but do you think the REAL thing is different?

I don't think you want to know what I think, I think you just want to sell the party line
You sell your side and I sell mine so what's your problem?Quote:

As you read of the Supreme Court upholding Trump's racist travel ban, please remember the Republicans STOLE a Supreme Court seat in 2016 and in fact—but for that POLITICAL CRIME—this would've been a 5-4 vote going the other way and upholding rather than abridging American values.
I must point out that despite the big mouth rhetoric from the president this was his third try at making law he is entitled to do as far as immigration and national security, and he kept his yap shut this time as it was argues before SCOTUS. I also point out that this was vastly better written than his first two EO's, and does NOT prohibit Hawaii, or any other state making its case in lower courts.
Long story short it only lifted the injunction against implementing his EO, imposed by the federal court. He wins but was forced to do it in a more precise lawful way. The muzzle obviously came off too! >SIGH<
Yes a win against idiocy, but empiricQuote:

Maxine Waters .a sitting Rep of Congress called for violence against Trumpers . Her incitment of violence should be met harshly in the House . Pelosi to her credit already suggested Waters should shut her pie hole. (then she blamed it on Trump) .But more is needed . There should be censure hearings in the House ,and a universal across the aisle call for her to resign . Even Schumer gets this one right ,calling Waters call for mob rule “not American.”
Rep. Waters has called for no violence, unlike The Dufus who has done so repeatedly. No outrage against his running his pie hole. His lies and scandals and BREAKING THE LAW are epic.

Where do you suggest Trump should be met harshly?
I express my dissatisfaction by not voting for him . I do not recall him calling for violence since the election ;but I could be wrong . Suffice it to say odds are I will not vote for him in 2020.
Spoiled for choice, Tom?
2 things ;I oppose too many of his policies ;and I think character matters .
If you are speak of Dump, I agree, however, what is the alternative, the rabid leftists. Your right wing politicians have proven to be particularly bereft of what it takes
Give the man his due, he has achieved some things even if the means aren't what you might hope. he has failed to unify his party, this is his biggest mistake but he may yet usher in a new era of international dialogue
oh yeah he has forced a dialogue alright . My concern is that he will act like a bull in a china shop in the NATO meeting, like he did in the economic meeting in Canada ,and then come up with some meaningless declaration with Putin(like he evidently did with un Kim) which will reinforce this nonsense that he and Putin are working in cahoots .
The bad ripple effects of his inconsistent arguments about tariffs are already affecting the markets . His attacks on American companies trying to compete in the world market ,like Harley Davidson, are insane.
Btw .this Kennedy retirement from SCOTUS is already changing the national debate here . Immigration is yesterdays news . The issue now will be ,can the Dems delay a Trump appointment to SCOTUS before the elections ? Harry Reid did the Repubics a huge favor by going nuclear to appoint district judges . Yertle the Turtle McConnell can now use that precedence to waive filibuster rules for Kennedy's replacement . AND to top it off ,for some Trump voters ,the single deciding issue was that he would get to select constitutionalist judges (ie textualists as opposed to those ridiculous 'living breathing ' jurists ) . This could motivate them to turn out for the mid-term elections .
This has been the repub goal all along, appoint right wing repub judges all over the place and repeal the last 50 years.
not going to happen established law and all that .....except when progressive judges rule that is ;then the equation changes . I want Mike Lee. He is a Senator who has published on Constitutional issues. You guys are safe . Chief Justice Roberts becomes the swing vote ;and he has proven that he is not faithful to "right wing " issues.

The wingers on the right have it, and they know it, and intend to use it while they have it.
