What they promised. That justifies it but I think more important is what he's doing by decapitating Intelligence services, State Department and so forth.

The ban is more of a distraction since what he has planned upcoming is much more far reaching and will consolidate his power.

Dems fussing over the ban yes but please look at the bigger picture of total control

no matter what befalls the US. He needs to stay off twitter, stop lying stop mistreating his wife in public, comb his hair, stop painting himself orange, etc.

connections. Like Putin.

Read up on the recent changes that put Bannon in control of our security and our country and our lives

The kind of thinking that if Trump only understood something that he would then act accordingly is useless. He understands what other think he should do. He isn't going to do that because his goal, his agenda is what he will pursue and he'll do it by acting and doing exactly what he wants.

Just because he acts stupid doesn't mean he's stupid. He's just fooling us like a magician does. He has us looking at his right hand while his left hand is doing the sleight of hand.

for example the women's march and the whole reproductive rights thing, like if only they understood our message etc. The understand it but they disagree. Our uteri are means of production, empire, outbreeding the threats to sovereignty and empire, etc. Some people don't understand that. They need us poor, uneducated and deranged from being raised by miserable women with way too many children and no resources to care for them. It is the perfect storm for their vision of Utopia, which is medievalism and endless war for profit.

The problem with this sort of thing as I see it, too many mistakes.

his greaseball ass.

it is right out of Naomi Klein's must-read book "The Shock Doctrine"

Been saying it for a while now. It is that if it's any one identifiable "big picture" situation.

"This is an attempt to throw the country into confusion and chaos so that the administration can present itself as the only entity capable of restoring order. "

Well it seems that they have screwed the pooch on this one. 45 and his Golem are trying to pull a 'SQUIRREL" as he does things like release the name of his SCOTUS pick.

We've seen this picture before, action is needed to regain our country.

Probably nothing more than probing to see how the country responds. People are still underestimating the depravity of this group in the White House.

The real "Shock Event" will be much more jarring than what transpired this weekend. My guess is it will involve federal troops occupying a major US city and trampling on the rights of the people there. Maybe Chicago, maybe a sanctuary city for immigrants.

And Trump is very close to putting a stop to these 'embarrassing" demonstrations against him. He's going to have a force out there brutalizing protesters very soon.

And the first journalist will be jailed for speaking against him before the Summer.

Trumpy signs anything coming from President Bannon.

I wonder how this country will react if they send the military into the Southside of Chicago to start terrorizing blacks. They'll probably start with highly militarized deportation forces invading neighborhoods and brutalizing families with impunity. The public will care less if those being harmed speak Spanish.

And everyone needs to keep in mind that they're going to start framing this extremism in a way that makes a lot of the country get totally behind it. They're going to start using single events as justification. Just wait until a real attack happens, they are going to completely overreact.

sewing discord to draw out to their enemies

Actually FDR talked about it in 1940, Thom is playing excerpts

Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn't know nuthin'
Girl you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin'
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin'

Haha... Great context for the Zappa

Pass this information on--it is of vital importance!

subtitle: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

This past week reminded me of this book from 2007 about using shocks and violence to implement radical policies; starting in Chile in 1973 and into the Bush years in Iraq. These recent "shock events" fit right in. An amazing book.

really second your recommendation - this book should be read by everyone in the country. It is honest about what the US and other regimes actually do to countries and people to control them. And what, in the end, can be done to take power back from the horrible people who have wielded it too long.

He literally campaigned for a year on this. Maybe people are shocked that he actually went through with it, but I generally believe people when they tell me what they are going to do.

That's exactly what I told my 88 year old friend who called scared out of her wits. I said, "He said he would do exactly this, and people voted for him anyway. Why are you surprised?"

He did what he promised. But he did so without properly vetting the EO by Justice Dept. so it was flawed intentionally to create chaos. Massive deportations are about to start and will create MUCH bigger chaos but, again, he campained on it. What he did not campaign on is starting a war or destroy the entire governmet.

Let's face it - Trump is a dullard. He is incapable of creating these masterful strokes. He is noting more than Brannon's sock puppet - a crude caricature in clown face makeup.




*I wonder how Trump's ego will handle this sort of narrative?

All that Bannon has proven so far is that he and Trump are absolutely, completely, and utterly incompetent. They are totally incapable of managing anything.

Even a military coup would look good in comparison.

those who were lazy, sleeping, apathetic, or didn't really believe what he stated are now waking up. Let's hope they turn out and vote next time and also pay attention. For the rest of us, we saw this coming.
