I don't think he is either, Mark. BUT, he is sly and clever enough to threaten to sign such an order, then decry to left for not letting him and spin the story that the left is threatening the security of the nation. Which is what I think he's attempting to do. Exactly. And, as he did with the transgender military ban, is doing with the caravan, etc., he keeps the base at white-hot fervor, and keeps the rest of us talking about it instead of, say, the fact that the stock market is looking ominous, the fact that so many associated with him have been indicted, his cuddles with Putin and Kim Jong Un and other thugs, that he actually hasn't accomplished much beyond instituting tariffs that are actually hurting people and tax cuts to billionaires that have pumped our debt a trillion or so... And yet... it's hard to ignore our actual POTUS spewing this shit, especially when he's loudly seconded by a GOP senator (Graham), and no doubt others.

The irony is....that is exactly why they will keep doing it. Oh, I see the irony, and I see the motivation. The thing is, if we don't cry out, if we just ignore it, it stands and a frightening number of people buy into it. Many are just racist and/or dumb. A number more who actually do care about the constitution are so worked up over immigration that they're losing sight of the whole constitution angle. So what the fuck to do? if we had a functioning Congress, one full of Senators and reps who would promptly counter this nonsense, and that we could count on to block it, we could shut up and let them do it. But IMO we don't right now.

Well, think about it. Trump has violated every other norm in politics, he's urinated on the dignity of the office of the presidency, and he's most likely committed sexual assault, tax fraud, and god knows what other crimes. And who's lifted a finger to hold him accountable?
No one.
So why would he not think he can violate the Constitution as well? It's the next logical step for an authoritarian like him, and now he's got the USSC loaded the right way, maybe they will be enablers like those spineless weasels in Congress? And, I might add, if you're going to violate the Constitution, smart move to do it dealing with those dangerous foreigners who're ruining everything about this great nation....
And think of all the other things that have happened that, three years ago, we would've said, "Nah, not possible."

Thanksgiving at the Conway's is gonna be lit.
Needless to say, George Conway is correct, and Kellyanne Conway, as per usual, is full of shit. (Moreover, I am confident she knows her husband is right, and that she's full of shit.)
