I think Steve Bannon wrote those EO's while in the throes of an ether binge.

Trump's very own Rasputin...

I think the intent is to satisfy his rabid followers. If the DOJ stops his unconstitutional EO's, he will probably blame them on "Obama's" judges and they will cheer him even louder. So it's a win win for Trump.

If Trump wasn't Trump, you'd be right. But the Donald is really going to hate His Executive Order being blocked. He's going to be gunning for a federal judge, and he'll be twice as pissed when it is explained that you can't fire a federal judge.

Just hope he doesn't try real guns.

"The New Colossus" By Emma Lazurus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This is who we are, scared little Trumpkins.

Looks like Il Douche stuck his man boob in the wringer with this Muslim ban.

Think I'll send a few extra bucks to the good folks over at the ACLU to help out.

Bob, I'm not sure I'd spend to much money right now. I'd save it just in case California secedes and raises taxes through the roof to take care of the influx of illegals and other people's problems that migrate there. It's all I've heard for days now.. California wants to secede. I can't believe it after hearing the hissy fit California threw when Texas talked about ceceding a while back.

Seriously though, what's going on in California? It's big conversation lately but I don't know anyone personally that lives there to get a straight answer out of. I pay no real attention to the tv news anymore

Demonstrations at the major airports, but the optics favor trump.

His hinterland supporters will be pleased.

This one fits in here. From before the election, but very relevant now:

Some group is gathering signatures but it'll go nowhere even if it gets on the ballot, brother Dave. We wouldn't abandon all those moocher red states that we prop up with our dirty hippie tax dollars. We get back only .78 cents on every dollar we send to Washington plus where would y'all get groceries from if Der Trumpenfurher builds his shitty wall on the Mexico border. (grin)
