* Trump is such a coward he is keeping out a one year old with cancer for fear that ze's a terrorist.
* Trump threatened to invade Mexico when on the phone to their President. Flynn also openly threatening to invade Iran. And did I mention Trump threw a tantrum then hung up on Australia’s Turnbull?
* So 45 is trying to burden the country with another Scalia for the next 40-50 years in the slot they stole from Obama/Garland.
* In case it's not clear, I do have substantive complaints about Gorsuch around things like Hobby Lobby, Extreme religious over reach, the whole citizens have no right to sue cops for murdering their relatives thing, worker's and women's rights generally, etc..
* Given the republicans made up a brand new rule that the President is suddenly only allowed to nominate for the Supreme court in the first three years of his term regardless of what the Constitution says, lied that it was not a brand new thing they made up specifically because they believe that only republican presidents have the right to pick supreme court nominees, and vowed to hold it open another four years if Hillary won, I am having a hard time taking them seriously when they exhort Democrats to "rise above politics" and vote on Neil Gorsuch when they wouldn't "rise above politics" themselves to even give Merrick Garland a hearing. Fuck that! They broke it, they bought it.
They need to nominate Merrick Garland or some other person with bipartisan support. If not, Democrats need to display spine.

* So Trump ordered customs agents to ignore judicial rulings blocking parts of his executive order attacking vetted refugees and lawful permanent residents on the basic of religion and country of origin. Customs agents broke the law to obey the president. The rule of law is failing under the agenda of the executive branch.
* I am impressed as hell with the AARP ad targeting Trump voters to get them to call Congress Critters to save Social Security from Ryan's congress. It's deceptive as Hell, but very well played.

* I am wildly uncomfortable with them using Dylan Thomas in a commercial.
* I have taken to thinking of the way I rp three scenes at once as "strafing."
In related news, Tuesday was day two of a marathon rp thing so we might wrap up Braavos before the Dolphin festival on Game of Bones, hence me not having started the Black sails premiere post.
* Young Pope: I suppose it is the Medievalist in me, but I am honestly surprise Lenny hasn't been poisoned yet. I keep waiting for an anti-christ reveal. I can not tell if I like it or not, but I can not look away.
