   He must’ve been tired of all the winning.

     ‘Winning’ can mean a lot of things. Sure, a judge in Hawaii imposed a nationwide ban, but how does it all look from the ‘eyes’ within microwave ovens? Or what are legal setbacks really when you have dementia?

   A scaled back version of religious discrimination is still religious discrimination. I am really sad that people have to fight against their own government for a basic human right. We are no longer a beacon of anything in this world. I love my country, but I am ashamed of my government.

     Well, remember that part of our gov is effectively fighting this thing, while a large faction, about half, of the country has caused this mess.

     Trump is not just a fraudulent showman, he is a master exploitation artist. Scummiest of scum, pretending to be classiest of lux.

       I agree with you of course. I should have been more specific. It is the executive branch which has my wrath. I am beyond curse words for this man. He has opened Pandora’s box and let loose the evil spirit of intolerance.

   Great Tweet by George Takei

   At rally in TN, Trump takes dig at Hillary while supporters chant “Lock her up!” In other news, it’s no longer 2016, and Trump is an idiot.

     Maybe that is why Hillary is so quiet. This nut could lock her up, like a banana republic.

   Meanwhile, in the world of facts and actual reporting, Trump’s State Department is opposing the release of Hillary’s emails: http://www.redstate.com/sweetie/15/2017/03/trumps-state-department-is-keeping-judicial-watch-getting-hillarys-emails.

   The liberal/left should really wake up and try to understand that throwing anything/everything up on the wall and hoping some of it sticks (are you listening, Rachel Maddow?) just inoculates Trump against charges to come, some of which might actually have factual evidence behind them.

   This kind of thing is not a substitute for a winning politics; it’s proof of its absence.

       Well, Dienne, I must admit that it was Dmitri, my Russian control agent who made me write that.

       I, too must be a Trump/Putin troll, for as we all know, the only way for real “resisters” to respond to Trump is to run around as if your hair is on fire, while claiming to see Putin under every bed.

       Michael,

       You and Dienne think that Trump was elected fair and square. You think that Wikileaks chose to hack the DNC–but not the RNC–for benign reasons. You think there should be no impartial investigations of the multiple connections between the Trump campaign and Putin.

       You are entitled to your opinions.

       Please don’t put words in my mouth, Diane, since I’ve written on the pages of this blog that an investigation should take place.

       However, I’m also convinced that believing that the spy agencies are going to function as some kind of Deus Ex Machina, and rid us of Trump, is magical thinking, guaranteed to keep him and his ilk in control of the government. Things have reached such an extreme and absurd pitch that even Hillary’s and Obama’s spooks are now hedging their claims and trying to walk back people’s irrational expectations.

       Why are pwogwessisives so obsessed with finding Putin as the reason for the election’s outcome, when all you need to do to find evidence of “stealing” the election is look at people who were dropped from the voting rolls for allegedly being registered in more than one location. That happened in America, and was done by Americans; Pooty Poo had nothing to do with it.

       Or would that, unlike the consoling groupthink that sees the dark hand of Putin everywhere, actually require us to confront our political shortcomings over decades, and which have allowed things to reach this point, and work towards rectifying them?

       No, I guess it’s better to point our fingers and hyperventilate about the Russian Other, since that takes the Democratic Party, and many of us, off the hook.

   Despite Hawai’i’s problems, one of the BEST things about Hawai’i is that they embrace ALL cultures and peoples. Go Hawai’i for taking on that DUMP.
