The republican "we" are indeed winning and winning large. Cuts to the EPA, cuts in banking regulations, cuts in consumer and employee protections and big MIC spending and abolition of health care protections are all big wins for the republican "we" people.
Well the 1% who have fancy condos in Miami beach are not exactly winning the first floors are generally underwater - climate change? Nah couldn't be.

It makes you wonder where Trump hired his legal team. Other than that inbred Alabama weasel as AG, I'm guessing he hired the others off Craigslist.

Seems that the Ban Talk is for the consumption of The Deplorables.

U.S. Quietly Lifts Limit on Number of Refugees Allowed In
Quote:
The result could be a near doubling of refugees entering the country, from about 830 people a week in the first three weeks of this month to well over 1,500 people per week by next month, according to refugee advocates. Tens of thousands of refugees are waiting to come to the United States.

The State Department’s decision was conveyed in an email on Thursday to the private agencies in countries around the world that help refugees manage the nearly two-year application process needed to enter the United States.
So the rhetoric does not match actions it seems and wonder who is in charge anymore!

'All The President's Tweets'

Early this morning, apparently in response to a segment on Morning Joe, President Trump unleashed a Twitter storm about the travel ban cases, one of which has been appealed to the Supreme Court.

These missives followed his Saturday-night tweet, issued shortly after the terrorist attack on London Bridge:

As a threshold matter, it is entirely inappropriate for Presidents to comment on cases while they are pending before the judiciary. Calling the courts “slow and political” is beyond the pale. I dedicated an entire chapter in my book Unraveled on presidential commentary from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama concerning pending Supreme Court cases. Alas, we have moved far beyond the usual bounds of objections, so I will put this aside for the moment. Far more pressing is what these barbs reveal about the President’s grasp of his own administration, and how it affects the appeal in IRAP v. Trump.

First, his tweets show utter disregard for the Justice Department’s legal strategy. According to the Solicitor General, the 90-day ban on entry from certain countries was never meant to be a permanent policy. Rather, it was a pause designed to provide the government an opportunity to reassess its vetting procedures. By insisting on calling the policy a “travel ban”—notwithstanding his attorney’s insistence to the courts that this is not what the policy about—the President undermines the Solicitor General’s arguments about the nature of the policy. Here, the “sole organ” puts his foot in his mouth." Lawfare
