Well well well… Look who the Hawaii judge met with before ruling against Trump's executive order
First reported in a 3/16/2017 Burg comment by 'Jan' in the 'Zero flies to French Polynesia to relax' post.
[Washington Feed] President Trump’s revised travel ban was put on hold Wednesday by U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii just hours before it was set to take effect after hearing arguments that the executive order discriminates on the basis of nationality.

According to reports, Watson met with President Obama a day before requested a temporary restraining order on President Trump’s new executive order.
Related: Sign of The Times (SOTT) contains an interesting map.

May require seasoning - All evidence of an Obama-Watson meeting purely circumstantial.

#3  So, what's next - a federal judge bans the EPA from changing any of the rules adopted during Obama era?

#4  Time for some "Not Anybody's President Anymore" signs with obumble's picture on them at every pro-Trump rally. Also need said signs to be on hand to wreck all live teevee news reports in the streets everywhere.

#5  Time for Trump to go full Andrew Jackson - or fold. He's not going to win a war with Mandarinate by playing within the system long ago subverted by the Mandarinate.

p.s. Obama was a nothing - just a convenient figurehead for the Mandarins.

#6  Obama was a nothing - just a convenient figurehead for the Mandarins

Absolutely true, G. Still, smashing the natives' totems is a powerful signal.

#7  Vet the people already here from the countries which are covered by the travel ban and send them all to this judge's neighborhood for temporary re-location in Hawaii.

#8  JohnQC, why bother to vet them? Just send them to the judge's house.

#11  Media Matters sez it's all bullshi*, a vast right-wing conspiracy.

Glad we got that cleared up.

#12  RE #11 - they said there is no conspiracy. No one (here) said there was.

However, I do think there should be an investigation to determine if there was a conspiracy.

Chelsea Clinton cashes in on Elizabeth Warren rally cry with new children's book
  • Chelsea Clinton will release a children's picture book this May that was inspired by Senator Elizabeth Warren's refusal to be silenced

  • 'She Persisted' is a collection of 13 stories about remarkable American woman including Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Sally Ride, and Oprah Winfrey

  • The title comes from the rally cry many women and liberals adopted after Mitch McConnell ordered Warren to stop speaking on the Senate floor in February

  • Warren then used the attention to shed light on the scathing leader Coretta Scott King wrote criticizing then-Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions

  • Now Chelsea is cashing in, with a rep for publisher Penguin Young Readers not commenting on an inquiry into whether proceeds would go to charity

  • Chelsea's most recent release was tome on global health which came out in January and is 122,000 on the Amazon bestsellers list as of March 16
    Wonder who the ghost writer is...

    #2  Coretta Scott King

    Free master class, young Negro reader:
    Ms. King ain't a thing. Supercede her.
    Pick up a libretto,
    Get out of the ghetto,
    Secede from mass choir and sing lieder!

    #3  She should stick to children's books.
    Forever.

    All of them should.

    #4  Is there a chapter written by Bill about the women who persisted to rebuff his advances?

    #5  Hillary Clinton did not make the cut in her daughter's book

    The perennial, persistent, annoying, presumptive, flawed, crooked candidate was not available for comment. She was cloistered away while considering a run for NYC mayor to replace "Big Bird."

    #7  publisher Penguin Young Readers not commenting on an inquiry into whether proceeds would go to charity

    Why yes, yes they will.

    The gravy-train continues.

    #9  I do not like your gnarley crank,
    I do not like its funky stank,
    I do not like it one little bit,
    No, you can't touch my intern tit!

    #10  I don't usually comment on someone's looks because I have to look in the mirror every day but she looks a bit like Sid from Ice Age.
