Trump Tweeting about the judge just now: "If something happens, blame him"

[oberliner]

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 9m9 minutes ago

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!

I will be interviewed by @oreillyfactor at 4:00 P.M. (prior to the #SuperBowl Pre-game Show) on Fox Network. Enjoy!

[angstlessk]

1. Is he planning something?

[jalan48]

3. I had the same thought. I hope we aren't being set up.

[onethatcares]

37. he's trying to get the ratings up

fuck him, ignore his lazy asss

[GeoWilliam750]

62. This is frighteningly close to...

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

[Doodley]

73. It certainly looks like it.

[d_r]

79. his assistant already told us

about the bowling green massacre they are working on

[niyad]

83. my first thought, as well.

[malaise]

2. This is getting serious

He is attacking the Judicial Branch of Government - he will pay

[MBS]

26. I sure hope so.n/t

[TCJ70]

4. "People pouring in"...where?!

If the problem is so serious, make your damn case.

[randome]

5. Why doesn't anyone point out that none of the terrorism we've suffered...

...has come from any of the countries he's banned? How about that, Donnie Darko?

[torius]

32. and there's a current travel advisory on Turkey

because of terrorism but no ban there because Trump Towers Istanbul.

[Stellar]

6. STFU, BLOTUS. nt

[Charles Bukowski]

7. The vetting process is 12-18 already.

They already were being screened very carefully.

[Ms. Toad]

41. I believe it is 18-24 months. At least from Syria. n/t

[Doodley]

74. The vetting process is wholly inadequate

for President if a mentally ill, idiot like Trump can be inaugurated, putting the whole planet at risk.

[vlyons]

8. Jesus, what a creep!

Pre-blaming a Fed judge if anything happens. Trump is like a dog with a bone he dug up. Just can't let it go. They will take this all the way to the SCOTUS. Just you watch. And if they lose there, will try to get some sort of congressional bill passed.

[PearliePoo2]

9. He is fucking NUTS!

This is getting to a BAD place. I'm beyond scared.

[eleny]

10. With all Trump's saber ratttling, he has some nerve pointing a finger at the judge

The buck will never stop at the president's desk with this rotting rat in the Oval Office.

Trump is a coward.

[oberliner]

12. Always needs a fall guy

That he can blame for things that go badly.

[eleny]

52. This is why we miss Obama - even though I didn't agree with all his policies

He understood responsibility so much better than Republican presidents going back pretty far.

[Frogg]

11. Uh-oh

"If something happens..." says it all. I fear what they are planning...look sharp America. Orangehead always has a tell...not a particularly eloquent one, but there is always a tell.

[In_The_Wind]

15. yup

[orangecrush]

48. Trumps narcissistic rage

Isn't pretty.

[In_The_Wind]

68. He has me very worried!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Please vote in my MIHOP poll

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028599976

[barbtries]

14. he literally seems to think

that the presidency is a reality show of which he is the star.

can't he be removed before any more damage is done? how are the republicans in congress sleeping at night?

[oberliner]

38. He does

That is spot on.

[Still In Wisconsin]

16. Did the President of the United States just order a hit on a Federal judge?

It sure sounds like he did.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Or a terrorist attack

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. I have NO doubt that false flag operations are in their plans.

It is, after all, Bannon we're talking about. I do think he's just taken it to another level. He's now directly telling the Deplorables WHO they should blame.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. What the hell is that idiot planning. nt

[wishstar]

18. As if Homeland Security hasn't already been checking everyone and doing vetting

Just like of the over 1600 miles of border with Mexico, over 800 is already fence or walled. It hasnt taken his election before our govt decided to enhance border security.

[Fast Walker 52]

22. as I just posted, he is so fucking stupid, it's nuts

[Fast Walker 52]

21. he's so fucking stupid.... seriously, he's the biggest idiot who's just gotten so lucky in life

Does he really think we let random people in from these countries before? Does he know no terrorists have come from these countries but have come from other countries he hasn't blocked? He does realize we check people when they get here? He realizes we have the FBI and police working against terrorism all the time? Why is he so freaked out about this?

[torius]

35. He knows that

He wants to stir up hatred against Muslims so he can go toward the Final Solution. Rounding them up and deporting them or if they are from here, putting them into camps. And if people beat or kill them, no punishment, because there will be a national Stand Your Ground so if a Trump supporter "feels threatened" they can shoot.

Hitler ran a 10-year propaganda campaign against Jews, so by the time they started rounding them up, the public didn't care. Propaganda is much faster now.

[nikibatts]

23. i guess Bannon is planning now to have his anarchists pull off an attack to blame on immigrants or

refugees. They have to be proven right about something, don't they?

[MBS]

27. This is also my fear.

I put nothing past this crowd.

[VMA131Marine]

24. Does he know almost all these people need a Visa to even get on a plane to the US

Is he saying that his State Dep't are not doing their jobs?

[torius]

43. Yes. Bannotrump tries

to make it sound like it's all illegals just getting onto planes willy-nilly because we have open borders.

[KingCharlemagne]

25. His Honor Judge Robart should issue an Order to Show Cause compelling

Trump's appearance with counsel to explain why he should not be found in contempt. Failure to appear would render Trump immediately subject to contempt charges and arrest by U S Marshalls.

[Ms. Toad]

42. For what?

I haven't heard that he has done anything to violate the order. Did I miss something?

[KingCharlemagne]

65. "Contempt" is nuch broader than obeying a duly-issued

Court order. Referring to the judge as "so-called" and now this display contempt for the court and for the rule of law.

[Ms. Toad]

71. The court doesn't just get to haul someone in because they made a snarky comment

The court does not have broad discretion to find someone in contempt merely because they are defending a case in that court. The court has to have some basis for jurisdiction over the behavior - and the person being held in contempt must be given notice and an opportunity to be heard.

The court is no more dictator than Trump is - it can't just reach out and smack you upside the head because you are being a jerk.

[KingCharlemagne]

80. when one party in a case before the court calls the duly-confirmed (99-0)

judge "so-called,", that is the very essence of "contempt," i.e., not just "snarky." His Honor most certainly can cause to be issued an Order to Show Cause. upon Trunp s failure to appear, His Honor can issue a warrant for failure to appear.

[Ms. Toad]

81. Sorry - but I disagree.

I'd certainly like to see a case citation if you have evidence to the contrary. Using the power of the court to avenge name calling is well outside anything I have experienced a law school administrator and attorney for nearly 2 decades.

[MFM008]

28. Oh no

were going to blame Y O U maggot.

[torius]

29. Gorsuch poll on aol.com. Please vote YES, block his nomination

The poll asks the Dems should block Gorsuch. The NOs are ahead. Please vote YES.

Sorry, was not sure if starting a new thread for that would be OK.

Maybe Trump will issue an EO saying any judge opposed to him is under house arrest.

[cilla4progress]

30. His problem is he is

Terrified

[Cirque du So-What]

31. Even a child could punch holes in that 'logic'

I hope anyone who parrots this ludicrous line of 'thinking' gets roundly.& rightfully ridiculed.

[oberliner]

39. And yet no Republican seems willing to stand up to him

It is insane that this is really happening.

[Doodley]

75. They have put partisan politics above the security of our nation.

[NRaleighLiberal]

33. beyond impeachable. certifiable. he needs to go and take nasty pence and gannon with him.

[superpatriotman]

34. Which network? What time?

Tune in. The ratings will be uuuuuuggggeee!

[kentuck]

36. Just like they blamed Obama and Hillary for Benghazi...?

After they cut the budget for security?

[nolabear]

40. So before they were checking them carelessly?

God, it's like seeing an incompetent boss yell "work!" to a bunch of hardworking employees and then saying "See how hard I made them work?"

I'm a bit worried that he might force a confrontation of some kind too. With Purim as inspiration it would just be too in character.

[dawg]

44. The blame lies with the dude who instigated the whole sad shitshow to begin with.

Any and all bad things that might come from this debacle should be hung around the neck of Donald J. Trump.

[world wide wally]

45. We should change the name of cancer to Trump.

It even sounds more deadly and dreadful

[FailureToCommunicate]

46. Trump is setting up to Wag the Dog?

[bdamomma]

47. You know I wouldn't put it past him

to set something up or should I say Bannon is setting something up.

He is totally against the courts and the law. Too bad.

But did you check his last comment it's always about him.

[orangecrush]

50. It would be a grave mistake

To put anything past these people.

[Efilroft Sul]

51. Bannon and Erik Prince.

The terrible twos.

[WinkyDink]

76. Erik Prince is the brother of Betsy Prince DeVos.

[Nitram]

49. And, of course, he puts a plug in for his TV appearance as if it was an entertainment schtick/

The man is so tacky he'd stick to teflon.

[spanone]

53. right trump, blame that shitty old democracy...you are 100% wrong on all things

[retrowire]

54. I'm interpreting "If something happens" as...

"If I get impeached" then blame it on the judge.

It's no doubt that even if Trump were to no longer be president, we'd all still have the Trumpers to contend with.

[oberliner]

56. I think he is talking about a terror attack

As messed up as that is.

[Va Lefty]

55. I guess "the buck stops somewhere else"

[BlueStater]

57. Or it might be because you're not reading the presidential briefings, you lazy fuck.

"The Buck Stops Here" certainly doesn't apply to this spoiled brat.

[La Coliniere]

58. two deplorables

When I look at that photo, particularly Bannon, one thing stands out: gin blossoms. I've known many alcoholics in my day, and gin blossoms are a common trait, especially those who imbibe in the hard stuff. And good riddance KC. Be rest assured, she will be replaced in no time flat with another court dissembler.

[doc03]

59. Don't think he won't make something happen if he can nt

[humbled_opinion]

60. Some Sick Division

Just imagine if something does happen how Democrats are going to get blamed by the President for blocking him from keeping us safe and the massive amount of people that will fall for it.

[Bucky]

61. Leadership

inspirationally not there

[guillaumeb]

63. Every Trump tweet is a desperate cry for attention from a man who craves

the spotlight. Perhaps he does not exist if there is no spotlight.

[sinkingfeeling]

64. What people are pouring in? People with valid visas and green cards?

Idiot Amin.

[tblue37]

78. Idiot Amin. Perfect! I am so stealing that! nt

[liberal N proud]

66. I will blame trump for anything that might happen

[paleotn]

67. I've been telling folks...

How many terrorist attacks have we had in the US by foreign born terrorists in the last 8 years?...............................ZERO! That causes a lot of stammering.

45 just doesn't understand that popular opinion has little to do with what is or is not in violation of set, codified law.

[catbyte]

69. SCROTUS version of the Reichstag Fire?

I really don't want to go off the deep end like the baggers did with Obama, but I wouldn't put anything past the Orange Horror,

[torius]

70. Pro Trump rally (5 whole people!)

They dug up 5 Trump supporters and held a rally!
http://wgme.com/news/local/supporters-of-president-trump-rally-in-portland

They talk about how they support the ban because our borders are open.

They just have no idea what's going on and they will never travel anywhere or interact with someone from farther away than Boston.

[Doodley]

72. So, if there's a terrorist attack, don't blame the terrorist, blame the judge.

The village idiot in the Whitehouse is mentally ill.

[napi21]

77. Something already DID happen! That failed attack in Yemen where the Seal lost his life was

the Con's failure in his first action as Commander in Chief! Trying to gloss over it by carping about a Judge telling you you're wrong won't make it disappear!

[niyad]

82. so, what are you planning, douche boy?
