All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Brian Peacock]

Bolton sacked.


Oh dear, what a terrible, terrible shame.

[Joe]

"You can't fire me. I quit!"

[Seabass]

Thank goodness that warmonger is out. On the other hand, knowing Trump, he'll probably replace him with someone even worse...

[Brian Peacock]

I wonder if the president will be tweeting tonight about "Cryin' John"?

[Joe]

Oh boy!

As frustration with Bolton mounted, Trump reached out to ex-adviser McMaster

As President Donald Trump began losing confidence in national security adviser John Bolton, whom he fired on Tuesday, he reached out to the man he had fired to give Bolton the job: retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster.

In phone calls to McMaster — the first of which took place last fall — Trump told his second national security adviser that he missed him, according to two people familiar with the conversations. It’s a sentiment the president has also expressed to White House aides, they said. Trump has solicited McMaster's advice on various national security challenges, even asking McMaster whom he should nominate to lead the Pentagon, they said.

Well, at least he didn't call his first national security adviser, although Mike Flynn hasn't been sentenced yet.

Goddam liberal activist judges, blocking President Trump in his glorious work to Make America Great Again™ by stopping people from applying for asylum.

'Federal Court Reinstates Full Block on Trump Asylum Ban'

A federal court has reinstated a nationwide injunction blocking a Trump administration asylum ban that denied asylum to anyone at the southern border who had transited through a third country en route to the United States.

It follows a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling last month that narrowed the scope of the injunction to that circuit. The American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, and Southern Poverty Law Center, were in court on September 5 seeking reinstatement of the nationwide injunction. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar issued the ruling today.

Of course the tug of war is far from over.

'Injunction against Trump policy lifted in asylum case'

A federal appeals court has temporarily lifted a nationwide injunction against President Donald Trump’s effort to deny asylum to immigrants who enter the U.S. after passing through another country.

Acting at the request of the Trump administration, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay Tuesday night that put on hold the injunction issued Monday by San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar.

The temporary hold implemented while the appeals court considers a longer stay essentially restores the legal situation that existed prior to this week, with Trump’s policy blocked only in the Ninth Circuit, which includes the border regions of California and Arizona.

That allowed the administration to implement the new policy in New Mexico and Texas, barring rulings from other courts as litigation over the issue ricochets through various courts The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to step in on an emergency basis to allow officials to carry out the Trump policy as announced in July. The high court has yet to rule on that request.

Meanwhile Mexico's Foreign Minister reiterated that they will not accept status as a safe third country.

Mexico has repeatedly rejected the idea of acting as a safe third country, which would mean that U.S.-bound asylum seekers travelling via Mexico would have to first claim asylum in Mexico.

“We have not and we will not accept the famous safe third country (status). They know it,” Erbrard told a news conference.

On Monday, acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told reporters U.S. officials were working to come up with some sort of “cooperative agreement,” when asked if the United States still sought a “safe third country” agreement with Mexico.

"Pence took one day detour in his Ireland trip and paid Iceland a visit. He warned us about the terrible Russians and the Chinese seeking influence in the Arctic. Told us not to buy Huawei products and thanked us for declining participation in China’s belt and road project. Something we actually haven’t done.

Parts of Reykjavik city had to be sealed off for the vice president, many dozens of cars and motorcycles escorting him, snipers on roofs, cops everywhere, dogs running around sniffing etc. Nothing like this has been seen since Reagan and Gorbachev met in Reykavik to discuss the end of the cold war."
