WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump fired the federal government's top lawyer Sally Yates on Monday after she took the extraordinarily rare step of defying the White House and saying the Justice Department would not defend his new travel restrictions targeting seven Muslim-majority nations.
 
The White House said on Twitter that Dana Boente, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, would replace Yates, an appointee of former Democratic President Barack Obama, as acting U.S. attorney general.
 
Yates on Monday told Justice Department lawyers in a letter that they would not defend in court Trump's directive that put a 120-day hold on allowing refugees into the country, an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria and a 90-day bar on citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
 
Yates said she did not believe defending the order would be "consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right."
 
Trump has argued tougher vetting of immigrants is needed to protect America from terror attacks but critics complain that his order unfairly singles out Muslims and defiles America's historic reputation as a welcoming place for immigrants.
 
Yates was days away from being replaced by Trump's pick for the top spot at the Justice Department, Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, who is awaiting Senate confirmation.
 
The White House dismissed her comments as rhetoric and said Trump acted within his presidential powers.
 
"I think that's a further demonstration of how politicized our legal system has become," said Stephen Miller, a policy adviser to Trump, in an interview on MSNBC.
 
There have been only a handful of instances in U.S. history of top Justice Department officials publicly breaking with the White House. The most famous example was in 1973, when then-Attorney General Elliot Richardson resigned rather than obey President Richard Nixon’s order to fire a special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal.

He did right, she's been a failing Government worker for quite some time and
the idea she was refusing Trump's 'new' restrictions order shows once more,
how the mainstream media feed off the 'touchy-feely-girl-got-sacked-by-man'
narrative.

During Clinton's Presidency:


And even though Obama's strict immigration orders took place before President Trump's
decision, highlighting it doesn't seem appropriate when the ignorance can be used as a
weapon by those with a lot invested.
That means you, Soros!

I hope the swamp is fully drained, but the 'things' found in the muck and ooze
at the bottom may not be something we wish confront.

Once upon a time, I thought that it might be possible for the progressives to eventually come to their senses and get with the program of sanity. I was wrong, and grossly overestimated their intelligence. They are still just as stuck on stupid as they were November 9th, and it's been almost 3 months.

There's this, where a silly broad thought that emotional response has something to do with enforcing the law. She was wrong, and got fired for a profound inability to do her job.

Then there are the events of this evening, where UC Berkley blew up because a conservative guy wanted to come to campus and speak his mind. Progressives, bastions of freedom that they are, rioted in response. You read that right - they employed violence to achieve political aims - the very textbook description of "terrorism". Don't take my word for it - look it up in Webster's Dictionary for confirmation.

So, these idjits sans education (Berkley used to be an educational institution, but this proves beyond doubt that it no longer is) decided to burn, smash, and pillage everything in sight. What WASN'T in sight was any form of law enforcement - I guess the cops didn't want to get burned, smashed, or pillaged for being in sight, and so wisely decided to sit this one out. Sure enough, Berkley claims they called in extra law enforcement, but nary a one could be seen anywhere, so I dunno where they called them in to - maybe their GPS units were on the blink or something, and they ended up at the beach. Who knows.

Now, historically, and I mean throughout history, when the protectors stop protecting folks, those folks will take it upon themselves to see to their own protection. I can foresee a serious Bad Moon rising if law enforcement doesn't decide to get off it's ass and, well, enforce some law... kinda like this AG wannabe wench wouldn't do, either. Now, the Attorney General is supposed to be the "top law enforcement officer" in America - if the AG won't do it, how can we expect his or her underlings to do it? There are, of course, some private citizens out here who won't hesitate to do it themselves. Some of us just plain don't care to be burned, raped, looted, or pillaged. We don't even like getting smashed, in the sense of being broken. It grates on our nerves when that happens.

I don't have much to worry about, I reckon. I'm entirely, or nearly entirely, surrounded by Trump supporters here. Rowdy progressives will have a hard life, for whatever brief moment that life lasts around here, if they start kicking up a riotous fuss. Still, I worry about the rest of my country, devoid of law enforcement as it appears to be. President Trump needs to get a handle on this, and I mean sooner rather than later. Berkley would be a good start to show he means business when he says he intends Law and Order to prevail. If I were in his shoes, that campus would be utterly surrounded by irritable men with guns loaded with rubber bullets (LOTS of rubber bullets, and teargas, too) by daybreak, every living breathing soul within the area would be in cuffs and up on charges of terrorism by supper time, and Kent State would look like a Sunday picnic when they got through. Gov Rhodes of Ohio would hang his head in shame at the comparatively weak response he offered at Kent State.

If it sound like I've had about enough of the bullshit, it's only because I HAVE. Start snatching federal money away from "sanctuary" ANYTHINGS (schools, cities, states - anyone who has a hankering to harbor law breakers) if they want to ignore federal law, and stomp the living hell out of rowdy idjits until they get their minds right. Obama had no qualms in withholding Federal funding from places who didn't share his worldview, like North Carolina, so what's any goddamned different now that the shoe in on another ass-kicking foot?

I'm going to sleep now, before I fucking explode.

Milo Yiannopoulos event cancelled as violent protests erupt at UC Berkeley.

(I added the 'L' in 'cancelled' because the site missed it out and I'll refrain from pointing
out the irony of education and school-promoted civic unrest!)

'Controversial conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos’ campus appearance Wednesday
evening was canceled after a violent protest of more than 1,000 people erupted, resulting
in large fires and several broken windows in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union building.

By 5:30 p.m., protesters had amassed on Sproul Plaza and were chanting, “No Milo, no
Trump, no fascist U.S.A.” The protests later escalated, and some outside the building set
off fireworks, threw rocks and bricks and hammered windows.

UCPD determined that it was necessary to evacuate Yiannopoulos from the premises to
ensure his safety about 6:00 p.m., but protests continued.

Yiannopoulos, an editor for the conservative news site Breitbart, was invited to speak by
campus political group Berkeley College Republicans, or BCR. After Yiannopoulos
evacuated the campus, he said on Facebook that he and his team were safe.

“Something very disturbing happened on the UC Berkeley campus,” Yiannopoulos said in a
live Facebook video. “I’m just sitting in my hotel room, stunned, that hundreds of people
were throwing rocks … and had to be subdued … because they’re so threatened.”

About five people were injured during the course of the event with varying degrees of severity,
according to BPD spokesperson Officer Byron White. Both BPD and UCPD did not make
any arrests...'

...................................

When I was a kid, even up to eighteen, I knew I was special.
Okay, special meant special as-in 'I can't fly like Superman, but I can wear a mask,
solve crimes in my imagination and look serious like Batman'
But whatever, I felt good.

You know... be a good guy and by being that, being seen as important by my peers.
Eh, maybe even that girl at the desk near the door might like me, yeah?

But running around one's bedroom with your coat dangling from you shoulders
and fastened at the neck seemed not to be good enough.
That plastic 'Batman' mask that came with the comic didn't seem to get my rocks
off anymore as I got older and to be honest... I felt a bit silly.

But the 'big' school changed all of that. There, I discovered that world wasn't split
into two camps where the 'baddies' always looked mean and were cruel to those
around them. These foes wore make-up I hadn't seen before, subtle shades that
merge from a type of cold amiability to down-right evil.

I was taught that those around me and myself were seen as weak because we
adhered to principles of friendship and happiness. Some cynical people reading
this may say that these qualities are derived from the natural learning process of
being a social animal and betterment is derived from non-violent and all-around
acceptable behavior.
And the chicks like it too.

Okay, I'll accept some my -and others too, some of my ideas are raw and undeveloped
when held to the stark light of complex relationships in commerce, country unity and
global interaction, but we should do something about the many problems in the
world because I know that I'll feel better when they go away.

But that same world of old men sitting around talking don't seem to get anything done.
I've seen them, they say one thing and it's usually something so vague that doesn't
say exactly what should be done, and then after what seems ages, they implement
a watered-down version of what I and my cohorts would have put in place.

Maybe the 'What-do-we-want-and-when-do-we-want-it' chant is heard as a naive
call of an impatient youth, but they shouted it in the sixties and seventies and looked
how the world changed then?
My teacher told me.

So in way... in a slight way, I'm still Batman fighting the wealthy Joker and his crew.
They don't understand that when a person who says things I don't like comes to
lecture me about how I should 'man-up' and work together, it's not only insulting to
my and the girl's at the desk near the door beliefs, it also a tongue-rasp at a person's
gender.
It's invasive.

But what can I do...? Honestly, how can we show our tutors and those who arrange
these things, that we don't want to hear what this English queer is saying?
Why can't he just go away? Why can't they just leave us with what we have?

I know-I know, the damage is awful, but someone will fix it. I know that I could've just
stayed at home or hung-out with my friends somewhere else. But what if this foppish
dyed-haired creep had said something I disagreed with and others accepted it as
true?
What then, huh?

My life would be changed forever, the Joker and his gang would have successfully
brain-washed a section of my world and we'd all be living in Nazi Germany... again.
It would be black and white, those of us who are seen as weak because we're nice
and just want to get along would be rounded up and killed.

They don't like people who are different, that's the crux of it... they don't understand
that not everybody looks to destroy your opinion of what a world should look like.

I mean come on, let's be serious here. There's nobody attacking the country, there's
no-one dropping bombs on the public from drones. People across the world just
want to get along and live in peace, just like me and my friends want.
So... basically, we're all the same and I wish these old men in suits would learn that.

Even if I don't wear that coat-come-cape around my neck tonight, there's a justice
to be fought for out there and I'm in the right to defend it. It's noble and it's seen as
good.

Maybe she'll be there too.

IMO allot of the things going on today are just the death throws of a huge socialist communist failed movement. I keep waiting for their sphincter to release so we will know they are finished. Although I must admit their tenacity for failed programs is unbelievable.
