Federal judge in Hawaii has just blocked Trump's second attempt at his travel ban from taking affect.

I can't wait for his tweets.

Somebody should compile them into a children's book format. Or more emo songs.

I quite enjoy the knowledge that at this exact moment of time, wherever Trump is, he is extremely pissed off.

I quite enjoy the knowledge that Trump and co's words are coming back to haunt them.

From the ruling:

The Government appropriately cautions that, in determining purpose, courts should not look into the “veiled psyche” and “secret motives” of government decisionmakers and may not undertake a “judicial psychoanalysis of a drafter’s heart of hearts.” The Government need not fear. The remarkable facts at issue here require no such impermissible inquiry. For instance, there is nothing “veiled” about this press release: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.[]”

lol

I love that a single judge can scupper the President's plans, must take some balls.

The EPA accounts for less than 1% of the Federal budget. Cutting its budget has to be symbolic here, because it's sure not saving Americans much money. Meanwhile, the defense budget gets more bloated.

State's budget getting cut is going to be a strawberry floating disaster, since State is the arm of the government that exercises American "soft power" across the globe.

But they have to spend a lot of defence because all those Muslims and Mexicans want to hurt them. :cry:

They also need to spend more on area 51 :shifty:

.

I wonder if the staff have to go through a process of being promoted from area 1 all the way to area 51?
Area 1 contains rubbish secrets like the KFC recipe and it just gets more and more secret until bingo, it's aliens.

I really wouldn't want to be broke in America, I can tell you that much.

See if I was in charge, I would set up a super secret Area 51 and let all the loonies spend all their time investigating it and coming up with theories about what is in there.

But I would put all the really secret stuff in Area 52.

Some of these cuts are mind blowing...

- Cuts $250 million from coastal research programs that ready communities for rising seas and worsening storms.
- Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which gives out grants in struggling communities
- Cuts $3.7 billion in grants for teacher training, after-school and summer programs, and aid programs to first-generation and low-income students
- Shifts air traffic control outside the government
- Eliminates funding for many new transit projects and support for long-distance Amtrak trains
- Eliminates $175 million in subsidies for commercial flights to rural airports
- Cuts $499 million from the TIGER grant program, which has funded dozens of road, transit and other projects.
- Discontinues funding for international climate-change programs.
- Cuts $102 million of funding from Earth science, terminating four missions aimed at understanding climate-change

And on and on it goes...

This man is out of his damn mind.

This is what happens when you elect a businessman into office. He's all about the bottom line.

They're almost so outrageous it's like they're intentionally designed not to pass congress. The man is a con-artist, so ask yourself what's the con being played here...to go back again with less severe cuts that seem relatively moderate by comparison?

I think congress would pass that budget though.
