Well, Baby Hands Trump doesn't drink. And Jared looks pretty pristine. But I think Bannon could go shot for shot with me pretty comfortably.

People by the thousands are protesting at airports across the country. Tom Wolf and Casey showed up to Philadelphia. John Lewis is sitting at the Atlanta airport. Lawyers are working for free trying to get these human beings back to their homes.

This is all so remarkable and incomprehensible.

Per a friend. Casey and Kenney weren't showing up to protest. They were there to try to get information and remove the immigrants from custody because Congress has more power on these issues than the governor or mayor. Wolf was there too

Booker is at Dulles because the CBP still won't let lawyers see the detiness still there. There are 10k people protesting at the Seattle airport.

As a Jew I'm ashamed of Jared Kushner but, in light of the dark history of blood libel, can we lay off the baby blood thing?

White House doubles down on removing Jews from Holocaust Remembrance Day statement "because others were killed too"

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/28/polit ... index.html

Washington (CNN)The White House statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day didn't mention Jews or anti-Semitism because "despite what the media reports, we are an incredibly inclusive group and we took into account all of those who suffered," administration spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN on Saturday.

Hicks provided a link to a Huffington Post UK story noting that while 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, 5 million others were also slaughtered during Adolf Hitler's genocide, including "priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah's Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters."

Asked if the White House was suggesting President Donald Trump didn't mention Jews as victims of the Holocaust because he didn't want to offend the other people the Nazis targeted and killed, Hicks replied, "it was our honor to issue a statement in remembrance of this important day."

Why not just mention the other groups then too?

Wonder if the White House will recognize th Muslims impacted and displaced as a result of 9/11. Cause ya know, they're inclusive and all.

Any time a drumpf stooge uses the modifier "incredibly" you know they are lying AND not comfortable about it.

It needs to be said over and over and over again. And over and over and over again.

Okay but what does it prove? That more people in the US voted against Trump than for him, obviously, so in theory more people don't support him than do.

But...he won the election. If HC had won in the same fashion, these same people would blast Trump for making the "but she lost the popular vote!" argument.

Again, as a disclaimer, I didn't vote for Trump and don't particularly like him, but there are plenty of more relevant pieces of FACTUAL INFORMATION to use in an argument.

I think it's important because psychologically it's important to remember the resistance outnumbers the foolish/evil.

Fair. I am just frustrated that this "resistance" didn't get off their asses until after the election. Their naivete and dismissive attitude towards Trump and his supporters is exactly why we're in this position now.
