If it had been rolled out with better planning and smoother execution, I don't know that there would have been nearly as much public anger.

but, they are singular in their determination to implement extremist right wing dogma - and as cons do, will find the focus to be more efficient in doing so.

There have been a number of leaks of various forms of the "religious freedoms' EC he is going to pen, it is clear they learned from the muslim ban clusterfuck and are finding ways to tighten up future ECs.

It is clear in dipshits simple mind that these things are acts of law, but as with all that they do, and cons generally, they see great virtue in pushing things WELL PAST the bar, because doing so moves the bar ...

More to come - MUCH MORE.

We're to believe that Trump wanted to be more cautious but his staff was full speed ahead? I'm thinking this is one more example of Trump blaming everybody else. Not to mention the fact that he's been defending the haste ever since it happened.

You're the President, dude. You are supposed to know enough, or find out, to know what you are signing.

And Congress and the courts must all respect his authoritah. The fact that he can't handle this is our best hope for an voluntary early exit. Anything other than this is going to take too much time.

He's only picked people who will never tell him when something is a bad idea, who will never go against him for fear of getting on his bad side. He wants flatterers and sycophants, not knowledgeable folks who might point out that he is wrong.

He doesn't have a legal team because he HASN'T HIRED ONE. It's up to you, dumbass Trump, to do these things. What an idiot. Did he not realize that every time there is a new president, he has to build a staff from the ground up? Evidently not.
