All this, of course, after questioning Hillary's "stamina" for the job. But, this isn't a vacation weekend. It's a meeting/party with Republican donors...it's a fundraiser.

So Jared was advising him to greenlight the raid in Yemen? Thanks for the swell advice, Jared. What's next? That is, after you take your hand off Ivanka's butt in her next awesome "Let 'em eat cake" tweet pics. So looking forward to more of those. Love how Rach keeps refering to the Yemen raid as "disastrous". Maybe cuz it was. But it ain't how Trump's henchpeople & his ridiculous supporters are framing it. But you'd have to go over to CNN or Fox to see that. Really surprised Rach hasn't mentioned Bowling Green. Well, she was in a good mood. That's nice. Have more fish at lunch, Rach.

Insert one of Rach's exasperated breathless laughs & an eye roll here. And CNN found some military Trumpers who say these kinds of raids are planned months in advance, so it's "laughable" (yes, these fools seriously said laughable) how this could in any way be Trump's fault. They all blame Obama. So I'm glad Rach had on Obama's former adviser, who verified Obama made no decision to raid Yemen, given the timing being the last weeks of his Presidency. Nope, this was Trump's decision & all on him -- along with Jared, the real estate magnate (or rather, son of one) & Bannon, the white supremacist.

How can any decent Republican vote for her. Since they have no decency and morals, they will fall in line and do that. I can only imagine, the invectives that the right would have thrown at Obama, if Devos was a woman of color and was nominated by Obama. I remember how they went after Sotomayor for a benign statement that she said as Latina, when it came to White men, not having the same life experiences, as people of color. Fox news painted her as a virulent racist. I am Black and I knew exactly what she meant. I hated that she was made to disavow her statement. 8 Link to comment
Calvada February 4, 2017 Share February 4, 2017 I loved the story about people starting a fund drive to buy votes from members of Congress. It's about time this is made clear - in politics today it is all about the money. Thanks Supreme Court! And IMO neither side is an angel on this particular issue. I also love all the stories about how members of Congress are being made uncomfortable by hearing the voices of their constituents via phone calls, letters, faxes, online campaigns and pizza deliveries. It's about time they realize "we the people" means something. Ultimately, we are their employers and we should put them on notice about their performance on a regular basis. I amazed that the reports that members of Congress - both Repubs & Dems - have had to reach out to the Australian Ambassador to assure one or our strongest allies we have not all gone batshit crazy has not gotten more attention. When are the Republicans going to grow a spine and speak out in the strongest terms possible about how inappropriate and dangerous Trump's behavior is? I don't expect it out of all of them (Jesus, if Paul Ryan ever had a Profiles in Courage moment, I am pretty sure I would drop dead from shock), but can they all be so cavalier about what is happening to this country, to our standing in the world? Perhaps 2 senators voting against DeVos is a teeny tiny first step. I know, I'm clinging to the smallest shred of hope, but it's what keeps me going. 6 Link to comment

It's only part of what I find extremely disturbing about Kushner. That & his lack of any acknowledgement of Bannon's anti-Semitism. Kushner's silence when Trump didn't mention ANYTHING about Jews when he discussed the Holocaust, given his grandparents were Holocaust survivors, was truly reprehensible. Speaks volumes about who Kushner is & the depths he'll sink to for the power & influence he clearly must crave. Btw, Kushner just turned 36. So hopefully Rachel's staff will correct her on his age. Best to get even minute facts correct. Otherwise she'll be accused of spreading fake news -- by Smellyanne, moron Spicer or that idiot Kayleigh woman on CNN. Or maybe even her good pal, icky Greta. Sorry, Rach, but watch your back with her -- icky Greta looks like she'd turn on you on a dime. 3 Link to comment

We can be sure he has his reasons & his own agenda. Is he motivated by power, greed & influence? Ya think? And Ivanka? She has her own reasons for pushing against slashing LGBT rights. If Daddy Dearest does this, as we know Bannon & Pence will push hard, hard, hard for him to do, poor widdle Ivanka can kiss her fashion brand buh-bye. I've heard Joy Reid say specifically she's not thrilled with Ivanka. Almost nobody criticizes Ivanka. The "Let 'em eat cake tweet" was the first time Ivanka actually got some flack -- almost on the level of what Smellyanne gets every day. Never heard Rach get snarky about Ivanka. I'd be surprised & disappointed if she isn't on this tonite. Quote Major companies appear to be re-evaluating their relationship with the Trump brand, which, in some instances, does not appear to have benefited from Mr. Trump’s presidency. Hinting at lackluster sales, Neiman Marcus confirmed on Friday that it had dropped Ivanka Trump’s jewelry line from its website. A day earlier, her brand disappeared from Nordstrom.com.

Tunia February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 Atta' Girl, Rachel, for commenting tonight on something that I just read about in a NY Times article that had me deeply disturbed. Much like the Mattis situation where he felt uninformed about material contained in an executive order he was witnessing as it was being signed, apparently our new commander is feeling the same effects being brought upon him by his chief strategist/manipulator. In the Times article entitled "Trump and Staff Rethink Tactics After Stumbles", this passage leapt off the page as I was reading: Quote Mr. Priebus bristles at the perception that he occupies a diminished perch in the West Wing pecking order compared with previous chiefs. But for the moment, Mr. Bannon remains the president’s dominant adviser, despite Mr. Trump’s anger that he was not fully briefed on details of the executive order he signed giving his chief strategist a seat on the National Security Council, a greater source of frustration to the president than the fallout from the travel ban. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/05/us/politics/trump-white-house-aides-strategy.html Our great commander has made it clear that he prefers to receive his information in bullet points and small doses, and it's apparent that Bannon is the culprit who is writing all these executive orders that Trump signs with such a grandiose flourish. It confirms the fear I feel in the pit of my stomach as I watch him quickly review the portfolios, that he doesn't have a shred of understanding about that which he is about to sign. His level of trust in Bannon is frightening, to say the least. It is quite comical, however, to watch as he signs these orders. The impression he emits is that this is all that he thought the presidency is about...sign your name while looking "presidential". I truly think he approached his new job with the thought that it was really just all that easy - nothing to it, everyone else is there to do the actual work, what's the big deal? God help us all when he finds out there much more resting in his pawing little hands. How fitting it is that a man who depends so much on the adulation of screaming crowds now finds himself isolated in his Pennsylvania Avenue palace. The freedom of being the Trump Tower Tycoon who can roam and wander about the City at will is now shackled by the Secret Service and hibernates in his new locale without even the benefit of his window-dressing wife. It's lonely at the top, eh Donald? 11 Link to comment
jjj February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 I found it refreshing that the writer from Slate kept pushing back on the question of whether Gorsuch had done the volunteer work at Harvard that was listed on his resume. It was a little surprising that someone we would expect to agree with Rachel, instead was suggesting, "maybe we need to let this go." I suspect this is one of those situations where there is are a couple of grains of truth on both sides: he was not deeply involved, but was not completely uninvolved. I do agree that he should not list the organizations if he was not fully involved (that is, really spent time on volunteer work, versus had good intentions of volunteering more than he ended up doing). We don't want the Democrats getting stuck on "does spending time talking about one case make you eligible to list that organization on your resume?". That's missing the forest for the ants. 6 Link to comment

It does at least confirm that the whole "President Bannon" thing is effective. Of course he was less angry about the travel ban reaction (who cares if people are hurt or you might have done something unconstitutional?) than Bannon not telling him how big of a deal it was to put him on the Security Council--that makes him look powerless. I was fascinated by her tracking down the source of that "Poland is invading Belarus" tidbit.

You know, I'm kinda thinking lately, people who voted for Trump just wanted to be entertained. They knew he was sexist & bigoted & a con artist & a liar & a crook & just a generally nasty asshole & a pig, but they thought politics was a bore & thought he was entertaining, so they figured why not vote for him cuz he's a hoot to watch.
