About the claim that Trump's travel ban does not apply to Green Card holders, from the Appeal Court decision; | Quote: |  | | | “The White House counsel is not the President, and he is not known to be in the chain of command for any of the Executive Departments,” the court wrote. “We cannot say that the current interpretation by White House counsel [about Green Card holders], even if authoritative and binding, will persist past the immediate stage of these proceedings.” | | | | | In short, the court found the administration essentially unbelievable, as have many of Trump’s critics.

Interesting article in the "failing" New York Times about how Trump could so easily make his Presidency successful, just by keeping it simple and sticking to his campaign promises. I hope that Trump doesn't read it  . https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/11/o...l-right-region | The following 3 users would like to thank FrankZappa for this useful post: | |

But will Trump restore the " Death Panel " that was introduced into Obamacare but subsequently stopped?

Social media censoring Trump supporters.
| | | | | Twitter seems to be having issues with any replies to Trump, supporters or otherwise. It wouldn't shock me if other social media with similar comment features are also collapsing under the volume. http://mashable.com/2017/02/10/whats.../#QxJ8noSEaqqz | This user would like to thank 3Wishes for this useful post: | |

Just leaving Florida. Big crowds of enthusiastic supporters lining the road that the FAKE NEWS media refuses to mention. Very dishonest! | | | | |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Well, you've got the "us vs them" part right but to dismiss anyone who opposes anything put forth by Trump as simply a "libtard" is being shortsighted.( | | | | | it's their words. i'm using their words, it's a circular usage. but happy if you come up with an alternative short replacement. | Quote: | |  | | | I have plenty of conservative friends that voted for Trump but who are not happy about how the ban was written and implemented. The idea you think a "leader" who pits people against each other is a "winner" is a bit sad. | | | | | He's winning the game of consolidating his power and increasing his influence.
Why are the libtards so blind. It's like they are playing chess but seeing only number of pieces and not the board on which they move.
Case in point: | Quote: | |  | | | So long as he keeps losing court cases he will not be able to achieve much? | | | | | Let me put this scenario to you. Trump orders that the judges order be ignored. What are the chances that people will comply and enforce the ban one way or another? Substantially and uncomfortably higher than 0%, I'd say.
Give him a couple more years, and more crazy but populist proposals that are blocked by the courts...
I can easily see him being able to not only fully consolidate his power in his first term, but succeed in neutralizing the checks on his power from other branches of government.
