We need to make it ILLEGAL for workers to be ordered to work without pay. Trump's game is to call them all back to work but not pay them. So, he can claim that "we don't need them anyway, everything is going fine w/o the big bad government" meanwhile people are WORKING FOR NOTHING and paying childcare and transportation costs for the privilege. That is his MO. Look at all the construction workers and others that he got to do his work, then never paid them. Yep. That’s just good business.

"The misogynistic, supremacist nostalgia of their dying glory days is dissolving, in the glorious refining fire of what is coming on the horizon: color and diversity and new and young and wide open. The wall-builders and the close-fisted and the table-monopolizers will not survive this evolution."
I look forward to a more equal world after millennia of societies living in inequality under the subjugation of white, male, hetero, greedy, connected, fundamentalists of all stripes.

Racist president supports the kid. Of course he supports anyone wearing his stupid racist hat. This makes me ill. I wonder what footage he's looking at. Certainly not the ones I've seen here.
Donald J Trump: Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false - smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @tuckercarlson

He would line up the girls on the side of the stage, and he would inspect them literally, Miss Universe contestants have spoken out about him walking into the large dressing room and looked them all over, whether they were dressed or not. I'm still wondering why a bunch of white boys in MAGA hats were on a school field trip to protest women's rights.” Pro-life ...... CAtholics.

They go to a catholic school. Going to DC for this protest is a really big deal. Our school usually sends a group of willing high schoolers (though I don think any went this year). They do the protest, but then they are also spending time going to the various museums and political buildings-you know, doing the typical student trip to DC thing. Boys and girls are encouraged to go, to not only stand up for “right to life” but also to experience Washington DC. I

Supreme Court will NOT hear the DACA decision. In essence it goes back to PRE trump rules until at least the next Court term.... IT STANDS!! No intervention..... Will make 'wall' negotiations harder for dt!!
Court allowing dt's Military transgender ban go into affect for now............
Unknown what happens to the 9.000 currently openly serving at this time. DOD is stating that ban is not our policy, although they can/do ban those with 'gender dysphoria' , presently 930 in number ... was a Mattis policy....
Supreme Court: private foreign company in case from Mueller might be looked into in closed setting, but they must provide some documents and that will made available to the public... (not sure I am understanding this correctly)

I think it's called the "Pinocchio filter" <snort!> I saw (on youtube, maybe?) that the reason his ties are so laughably long is that he thinks the long tie makes him look taller / thinner. no, just shorter and dumpier. (spoken as a short, dumpy middle-aged woman who KNOWS how she looks-- before anyone gets on me for criticizing his appearance.) I'm not trying to speak for bergdorfblonde, but this may give you some more insight... ^^^ I'm not sure, but she also could mean that his 'modeling' agency and 'pageants' were used as a cover story to get easier access to young women / girls for himself and his friends and their debauched partying and sexual exploits.

”Our new national poll finds no matter what Dem you test against Trump, he is stuck at 41-42%
Biden 53 Trump 41 Sanders 51 Trump 41 Harris 48 Trump 41 O'Rourke 47 Trump 41 Warren 48 Trump 42 Booker 47 Trump 42 Gillibrand 47 Trump 42:”

More numbers...
”Trump's 41 or 42% against all Democrats pretty much tracks with his approval rating. 40% approve of the job he's doing to 57% who disapprove:”
”Trump continues to lose the shutdown.
Only 35% of voters agree government should remain closed until he gets funding for the wall, 60% disagree.
57% think Congress should vote today to reopen government without funding the wall, 38% opposed:”
”55% of voters say the shutdown is the fault of Trump and the Republicans in Congress, to 43% who blame the Democrats.
Voters would rather have either Chuck Schumer (46-41) or Nancy Pelosi (47-44) as President than Trump:”
“45% of voters think that Trump has committed crimes since his Presidential bid began, 41% don't think he has.
61% think if Mueller investigation finds crimes that he should be indicted and prosecuted in courts.
46% support for impeachment, 44% opposed:”
”Trump continues to lose all his fights with the media.
Voters trust:
CBS over him 52/38 NBC and the Washington Post over him 51/38 ABC and the New York Times over him 51/39 CNN over him 49/39:”
“38% of voters think Trump has delivered on his core promise to 'Make America Great Again,' 55% say he has not.
On a related note 38% say their economic situation has improved in last 2 years. 60% say it has gotten worse (28%) or stayed the same (32%):”
“Historic context.
44% say Trump is worst President of last 40 years. 15% say he's the best.
Obama wins best with 31% to 26% for Reagan, 15% for Trump, 11% for Clinton.
Trump wins worst with 44% to 31% for Obama, no one else in double digits:”
“Voters wish Obama was still President instead of Trump, 53/43.
And they wish Hillary Clinton was President instead of Trump, 49/43:”

That being the case, they are protesting a woman’s right to chose.

”The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the “podium” much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!”
That works for me, all she does is lie. The press should have boycotted her “press briefings” (if that is what you want to call them) months ago.

Newsweek..
”China grants Ivanka Trump five trademarks as White House continues trade negotiations with Beijing trib.al/aCLMfNb”
I don’t understand why an advisor to the President of the United States should even be involved, or be allowed to request these trademarks.
ETA from Walter Shaub...
”Remember that time a couple months ago when Ivanka Trump announced she was shutting down her business? Now the government is shut down instead, and the business is receiving new trademarks from a country that’s negotiating with her father/boss.”
That whole family does nothing but lie.

That being the case, they are protesting a woman’s right to chose. Protesting women choosing to stop the life of a person growing in her womb. Until those claiming "if more gun laws can save even one life" address the "right to CHOOSE to end a life she created", they're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. See, it goes both ways.

”JUST IN: Though it's unclear whether congressional Democrats will allow it, the White House is moving forward with plans for President Trump to deliver a state of the union address before a joint session of Congress as previously scheduled on Tues. Jan 29.”
”Congress needs to give the president permission to give the address, with the House voting to go into a joint session. It’s unclear whether that will happen, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office is declining to offer guidance.”
”Pelosi had invited Trump in early January to deliver the address next Tuesday. While not officially rescinding the invitation, she suggested last week that Trump postpone or deliver the SOTU message in writing, kicking off an intense spat between the president and the speaker.”

They weren't protesting women's rights, they were for life. No. The best you can say is that they're pro-forced-birth and anti-choice. That bloc of voters consistently votes against public education, universal health care, access to contraception, wraparound services, or anything that actually reduces the need for abortion or improves the lives of people in need. You know, the actual life part of living.

trump... ”Four people in Nevada viciously robbed and killed by an illegal immigrant who should not have been in our Country. 26 people killed on the Border in a drug and gang related fight. Two large Caravans from Honduras broke into Mexico and are headed our way. We need a powerful Wall!” What about Las Vegas? What about Parkland? What about Sandy Hook? What about? What about? And so on. Whoopsie there Trump, your facts have gotten away from you again. Mexico has changed thier law and all people need to do at the southern border is present themselves for identification and they are given a wrist band to apply for a visa which takes about a week after they get thier wristband. They are legally in Mexico complete with thumbprints and all. No breaking in needed they just have to wait on a very ( very ) long line. Then wait 5-7 days after that inside Mexico near the border they entered at until they have thier visa. It is no longer possible to ‘break into Mexico’ www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/new-migrant-caravan-waits-to-cross-into-mexico-with-hopes-of-reaching-us/

Stop playing games and give America the Security it deserves. A Humanitarian Crisis!” They come by the boat, they come by plane, they come by car through checkpoints and they come by tunnel under the “wall or steel barrier”. So who is really kidding themselves?
