Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Can I hug Bubba?
1I understand many lawyers are showing up at airports to serve Muslims who’ve been targeted. They are indeed the good guys.
2Thank God for the ACLU, that Brooklynn judge and all those protesters at JFK. My check to the ACLU goes out on Monday.
3The WashPost has about 12 articles and columns about this at the top of the website. But– just scanning headlines– note that “Some republicans are speaking out against Trump’s ban, but not Ryan or McConnell,” and “Pence, who had called a Muslim ban ‘unconstitutional,’ now lauds restrictions on refugees.”
It won’t be easy to rein in this lunatic glassbowl if the party honchos keep backing him up. I think for them to desert him, he’d have to get to the point where he was obviously dragging down the whole party. Not country– party. Because they don’t give a tinker’s damn about the country.
4What Rhea said.
5BIG hugs to Bubba and his kind.
What Rhea said also too.
6Somewhere, IL Douche is closing the deal for the mandatory crescent and star armbands and clothing patches that “allowed” Muslims will have to wear. The ban is not a policy issue, it’s a business scam, just like everything else he does.
7Am a Guardian of Freedom with ACLU. Very proud of the rapid response and lawsuits already filed. The rethugs will not win. Not if we work quickly and together to stop them from ripping up the Constitution.
8Hug a lawyer. Hmmm not a bad bumper sticker.
Bannon and his Aryan cohort are likely planning a kristalnacht event for American Muslim families, too.
Also, too- What do the very important influential people like Gingerich, Palin, Friedman, Brooks, Dowd, and Krauthammer think about all of this?
9Spending the weekend at a retreat of senior leadership of a National Cancer Institute designated comprehensive cancer center. Looked around the table and realized how many brilliant people here – not student or junior people, but critical leaders, researchers and physicians both, are immigrants. One from Iran, in fact, another with family from Egypt via England. China, Korea, Ireland. And this is a pretty small, elite group. I wonder exactly how the high school dropouts who think Trump is bringing back jobs plan to replace, say, an oncologist who is also a leader of an NIH research core. Maybe the same way they put Rick Perry in charge of nuclear weapons.
10Lawyers and doctors take a beating from the uninitiated, until they need a doctor or a lawyer. Then lawyers and doctors beat up on each other in court. To appreciate the court system requires spending some time in court. It’s often slow, but it does work.
Kudos to the ACLU and the federal judge recognizing the emergency brought to court due to the insanity of Donnie and those around him. Without a thought and with one swift stroke of his pen, Donnie has undermined our democratic principles, risked the security of our intelligence assets and offended too many countries to enumerate.
The ACLU has rocked for decades and continues to rock. Please donate what you can, because with the Donnie Administration, the ACLU has some busy and expensive weeks ahead.
Standing Rock will be going to court, too. Those are just two prime examples of resisting the Donnie damage.
Then we have to worry about Mikey Dense and the forced birth liars.
On a somewhat positive note, Donnie and his dimwits have pretty much shot their wad in the first week in a Blitzkrieg maneuver to daunt us into submission. Their tank of st00pid is running low, so let’s make this week our week fighting back.
11Dear Donnie:
I’m sure it pleases you to scrawl your signature on some official looking pieces of paper in a leatherish folio, BUT… no one put a crown on your head. You had an inauguration, not a coronation. Your executive orders are not law. And they can only apply to federal employees. Private citizens are not bound by them. And as much as you complained about Obama signing them, somehow it’s different when you do it?
Sadly, like most of your life, it’s the perception of things that guides you, not the reality. Well, here’s some reality you need to embrace: There’s 324 million of us and only one of you.And our NO! is bigger and louder than yours. You don’t believe me? Your attitude is Meh? Fine. As many in the past have tragically discovered, a guillotine is a very simple device to create and operate.
Not every sentence ends with a period. Sometimes it’s “thunk”!
Sincerely.
12I actually have hugged a lawyer or two in my time. I also remember the spontaneous pro bono work done here in D.C. years ago. During a Viet Nam protest demonstration the city police simply did an undifferentiated sweep that put half the DOJ lawyer behind chain link fence int he stadium. they were on their way to work! the Attorney General had to save his soul so he jumped on the cops and had all the lawyers released but by the time that happened, a lot of them had taken on some of the demonstrators for a quick lesson in constitutional law! That police chief didn’t last much longer. The sweep done during the inauguration pretty much ended up the same way.
13Yeah, I think the whole country is getting a much-needed quick & dirty course in constitutional law. The only positive outcome so far of this misbegotten fustercluck of an administration.
14my bestest closest friends still sit as Texas district or County Court at Law Judges. My cousin a couple times removed is a US district judge in Sherman. I flunked out of law school in 1995. I appreciate every good thing a Texas attorney does. I bemoan and try to be first in line to condemn the bad.
But honest to G*d I just can’t see how this emergency justifies a moratorium on attorney jokes. I’d melt.
15I am proud to say I have been a card carrying member of ACLU for years. I’m also involved with a task force here in New Mexico who are arrested for peaceful protests.
16Q: What do you call 500 lawyers at the airport?
A: A good start!
