Don't hold your breath.
WASHINGTON — Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, President Trump’s Supreme Court appointee, is scheduled to address a conservative group at the Trump International Hotel in Washington next month, less than two weeks before the court is set to hear arguments on Mr. Trump’s travel ban.
Stephen Gillers, an expert on legal ethics at New York University, questioned the justice’s decision to speak at the hotel, which is at issue in lower-court cases challenging the constitutionality of payments to Mr. Trump’s companies.
“At this highly divisive political moment, especially as many Trump decisions are likely soon to reach the court’s docket, one just days later, a healthy respect for public confidence in the court should have led Justice Gorsuch to demur,” he said.
Justice Gorsuch declined to comment, said Kathleen L. Arberg, the Supreme Court’s public information officer.

"Members of White House presidential arts commission resigning..."
"The remaining members of a presidential arts and humanities panel resigned on Friday in yet another sign of growing national protest of President Trump’s recent comments on the violence in Charlottesville.
Members of the President’s Committee are drawn from Broadway, Hollywood, and the broader arts and entertainment community and said in a letter to Trump that “Your words and actions push us all further away from the freedoms we are guaranteed.”
“Reproach and censure in the strongest possible terms are necessary following your support of the hate groups and terrorists who killed and injured fellow Americans in Charlottesville,” the commissioners wrote in a****letter sent to the White House on Friday morning. “The false equivalencies you push cannot stand. The Administration’s refusal to quickly and unequivocally condemn the cancer of hatred only further emboldens those who wish America ill. We cannot sit idly by, the way that your West Wing advisors have, without speaking out against your words and actions.”" WP

Won't mean a thing to Trump's knuckle-dragging base, but it will hurt kids who might have otherwise experienced life-changing performances. Sad!

Good God, has it only been 30 weeks? Just when you think he CAN'T screw up the country any worse than the previous week, he manages to lower expectations even further. This was his worst week yet. I'm not even going to hope anymore that it HAS to get better. This clown is insane.

It'll still have to get a lot worse for a lot of Republicans to bail on repugnant cretin. Look at Whell.
