Oh, no! CNN is wondering: Whither Melania? She's Not Been Seen For 12 Days!!!
The last line below really dives into the important details.
Quote
Despite this, a spokeswoman for the first lady knocked down recent reports that the Melania Trump would not be moving to Washington at all."That report is not true," the spokeswoman said.Without a full-time first lady, the typical duties of that part of the White House machine are at a veritable standstill. Not only has Melania Trump not hired a staff, she hasn't formally announced a platform of official causes, a social schedule of events, nor her Washington calendar.On Monday night, paparazzi caught the first lady and Barron "running errands" in New York City. Melania Trump, in a cream-colored coat and signature five-inch high heels, and Barron, were ferried around Manhattan by a Secret Service detail.Hey CNN, I want confirmation on those 5 inches.

Odd to order a covert mission to surprise with supreme court pick
When you consider the media's over the top adversarial stance and the paid opposition awaiting orders (note the printed signs right after 8pm)
it really doesn't seem odd at all to anyone paying attention.

This is a joke right??
No, it is a prime example of poor comprehension, paired with ignorance of the facts of the situation, slopped on to the page simply to get a response from you.
you do it with Gator also.

Ok here we go. This is a FB post from a friend of mine. They are officially off the rails. This would be funny if it wasn't so !@#$ing pathetic. This is an intelligent guy. But intelligence only goes so far I guess.
If, suddenly, all they have is tax money from the white trash !@#$s who voted for them, which isn't a whole lot,
He doesn't sound intelligent, he sounds just like all the presumptuous low information liberals that are spurning reality for the "narrative"

BREAKING: President Trump makes unannounced trip to honor the return of fallen U.S. Navy SEAL killed in Yemen raid.
Credit where credit is due. Thank you, Mr. President.
Update:
Some press were wondering why Trump’s visit was unannounced and giving him grief for “disappearing.” Here’s why he kept things quiet:
The family of William "Ryan" Owens has asked for privacy; no press coverage. Delaware Dem @ChrisCoons there too. Heartbreaking
Obama Honored Fallen SEALs By Sending Their Parents a Form Letter ...

Ok they are off the rails big time. My wife's sister posted this and I wanted to reply this way:
She did not die from a Muslim ban. First ofF because there is no such thing as a Muslim ban and she actually died because she was !@#$ING SICK!!!!
Apparently Donald Trump did not kill his mother...................but I am sure that he would of he could....
Man who claimed mom died in Iraq after Trump's ban lied, Imam confirms
After the story aired on FOX 2 and was posted on FOX2Detroit.com, we received many questions about the validity of Hager's claims that his mother died waiting to be approved to come home. FOX 2 has confirmed that his mother died five days earlier.
According to Al-Hussainy, Hager's mother had kidney disease and was receiving treatment in Michigan - where she lived - before traveling to Iraq to visit family. The Imam said she passed away on January 22, 2017, five days before President Trump instituted the travel ban.
On Tuesday, Mike Hager told FOX 2 that he and his family were stopped while trying to return from Iraq to Michigan. He said that he was allowed through because of his American citizenship but his ailing mother and other family members were not. He then claimed that his mom passed away in Iraq on Saturday, as he was traveling to the United States.
Travelers from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia are banned from traveling to the United States for 90 days so the country can detect "individuals with terrorist ties and stopping them from entering the United States."

NANCY PELOSI: Republicans’ health care plan will make America sick again.
Remember the dead, stacked like cordwood in front of nearly empty hospitals and clinics, heedless doctors and nurses laughing at the suffering, before ObamaCare was signed into law?

Back to the thread...............
Maybe the nuclear/Reid rule won't be needed.
And now Politico is reporting that at least seven Democrat senators have said they will not filibuster:
AT LEAST SEVEN Democratic senators have gone on the record saying they won’t filibuster Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Chris Coons (Del.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.) and Jon Tester (Mont.).What is significant about this group is that while Tester and Heitkamp and Manchin are facing tough reelection fights in states that went for Trump, Durbin, Blumenthal, and Coons have seats for life and they have strong credibility with the Democrat base. If they aren’t pushing filibuster then, more likely than not, it isn’t going to happen.
Schumer has pretty much locked himself into pushing a filibuster and daring McConnell to get rid of the filibuster. This is going to strike directly at his ability to lead his caucus in the coming fights.

NOW WHO WILL SAVE US FROM THE WEATHER?
Tom Steyer Moves Beyond Climate.
The billionaire will expand the focus of his environmental political advocacy group, NextGen Climate Action, to fund initiatives and candidates with an eye to issues well beyond the realm of climate change, Steyer said in an interview on Tuesday.The 59-year-old Steyer, a San Francisco hedge fund manager and possible contender for next year’s California governor’s race, said he made the decision to broaden his reach in response to Trump and to a legislative agenda he described as “deplorable” and “a barrage against the basic fabric of American society.”The exact contours of NextGen’s transition, Steyer said, will be determined by what he hears in response to a video he released Tuesday to solicit ideas from activists like the millions who attended marches over inauguration weekend. “We want to know what matters most to you, and what should be done,” he says in the clip.As Glenn Reynolds likes to say, I’ll believe the climate is in crisis when they start behaving like it’s in crisis.

Reminder for the NYT and friends.......regarding the "stolen" seat.
The Biden Rule. He set the precedent. ---> https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/02/23/us/politics/joe-biden-argued-for-delaying-supreme-court-picks-in-1992.html?0p19G=c …
Here’s Biden in his very own words, via the New York Times:
“It would be our pragmatic conclusion that once the political season is underway,and it is,action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over.“That is what is fair to the nominee and essential to the process. Otherwise, it seems to me,” he added, “we will be in deep trouble as an institution.”And there you have it: Not stolen, “Bidened.”

Can Insanity Succeed?
FTA:
There is, of course, no constitutional crisis. But the Democrats are going beyond the usual hyperbole. Shockingly, their just-defeated vice-presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, is urging the party’s faithful to make like Brownshirts:
I don’t believe any major American political figure has previously urged his followers to fight in the streets; not since the Civil War, certainly. Things may be about to get even more dangerous for Americans who dare to show their support for our duly-elected president, and for our democracy.
It probably is true that the Dems have a strategy. They certainly have message discipline, which is half-way to a strategy. But as President Trump fulfills one campaign pledge after another, surprising only the most cynical, the Democrats, to a person, are reacting like toddlers denied a second helping of ice cream. What they need is a good spanking.
At the polls, I mean. The Democratic Party has been in decline for a number of election cycles. The verdict on the Democrats’ strategy of synchronized hysteria will be rendered in November 2018. My guess is that after two years, most voters will have seen enough of the Democrats’ vileness. Watch for the Democrats to slide nearer to irrelevance in 22 months.
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/02/can-insanity-succeed.php
FTA:
If it comes to this, I suspect that McConnell will be willing to go nuclear and will get the votes he needs.
Meanwhile, Democrats should understand that invocation by Republicans of the nuclear option to confirm Judge Gorsuch might hurt the Dems when Trump makes his next nomination (if he gets that opportunity). It is the next nominee, not Judge Gorsuch, who could give conservatives five reliable votes on the Supreme Court. Gorsuch just gets them back to four.
If the filibuster does not survive the Gorsuch confirmation fight, Trump will likely feel free to send up as conservative a nominee as he pleases next time, assuming the GOP still controls the Senate. If the filibuster is still around, he might feel more constrained.
So the battle to confirm Judge Gorsuch figures to be a fascinating game of chess. It will be nerve-racking and infuriating at times. But barring a very unexpected twist, Gorsuch is likely to be confirmed one way or the other.

GOP changes rules to push through nominees after Dem boycott
The Senate Finance Committee advanced a pair of Trump’s nominees with only Republican members present — Steven Mnuchin to head the Treasury Department, and Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) as secretary of Health and Human Services.

We're supposed to get outraged because Gorsuch is against suicide?
The Trump-haters think they can rally us with our enthusiasm for suicide?!
Maybe they think they can. After all, younger folks may hanker for euthanizing us baby boomers, and arguments about suicide resemble arguments about abortion.
Knock yourself out, Gorsuch opponents, you crazy nuts.

Narrative ? ?
NONIE DARWISH: On Boycotting Radical Islamic Nations.
Early this morning an Arabic radio station in the Middle East called asking my opinion about President Trump’s ban on refugees and citizens of seven Muslim nations. The radio host, who sounded angry over the ban, was a Christian Arab. She was surprised to hear that I supported the ban and think that it should have taken place the day after 9/11.She then asked me if I knew any Arab American activist who was against the ban because she wanted to interview someone against the ban. Sheseemed shocked to hear that I do not have any Arab or Muslim friends who are protesting the ban, and that many immigrants of Islamic and Middle East origin support the ban and are fed up and embarrassed by what jihadists are doing.She said that all she sees on CNN and other channels are riots that portray almost all Americans supporting Muslims and against Trump. I am upset over the success of the leftist propaganda all over the Middle East. It brings back memories of the life of the hate indoctrination and misinformation I lived under for most of my life.Read the whole thing
— and keep in mind that the progressive left produces heat and noise all out of proportion to its actual size, and that it is treated overseas (and by our own, sympathetic news media) with far more respect than it deserves.

HEH: North Dakota Wants Paid Pipeline Protesters To Pay State Income Tax.
“After spending more than $22 million on the Dakota Access pipeline protest, North Dakota wants to make sure any paid activists remember to submit their state income taxes. Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger said his office is keeping an eye out for tax forms from environmental groups that may have hired protesters to agitate against the 1,172-mile, four-state pipeline project.”

I’M GUESSING THAT POLITICAL LAWFARE WON’T BE AS ONE-SIDED AS IT’S BEEN IN THE PAST:
Trump Files With FEC For 2020 Election Bid, Outmaneuvers Nonprofit Organizations.
A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency.Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form 2 in order to “ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.” This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until April 2011. Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar organizations.More importantly, 501©(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer be able to engage in “political speech” which could theoretically affect the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the risk of losing their nonprofit status. The move effectively bars interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money into for the purposes of opposing Trump’s initiatives. This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump’s government.Speech Suppression !!
I’m sure we’ll hear a lot of complaining about this, but after the way the IRS scandal was handled, it’s going to ring kind of hollow.

This thread is better than the other one
I suggest this topic be changed to intelligent discussion of Gorsuch
And the other one to "idiots, post here."
Agree.

A Supreme Successor to Justice Scalia
Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444439/neil-gorsuch-justice-scalias-supreme-successorI find the instantaneous claims that Gorsuch – a hyper-educated scholar with an impeccable resume — is “extreme” to be tedious and exhausting.Why come straight out of the blocks telegraphing that you will not argue in good faith or with reason? Anyone who begins by saying Gorsuch is extreme and dangerous has already forfeited their place at the grown-ups’ table. -
