idk... kinda off topic, but I think Hawaii politicians (and judge) for grandstanding and slamming all of trumps policies. I mean if you want to stop the travel ban, fine. But let some other D state like california do it first, then follow along. But don't proudly announce that you're the first one out the gates to stop the ban.


Hawaii is super dependent on govt funding, and trump holds the keys to the coffers. never mind the fact that he's already looking to make huge cuts to most social programs. Proudly poking a crazy old bear with a stick is probably not the smartest thing for Hawaii to be doing. Especially when the republicans own both the house and senate, the presidency, and the supreme court. just my .02

Well - at least it's a "beautiful island"

Per the article.

"The Justice Department issued a statement defending Sessions, arguing it's factual to call Hawaii a Pacific island, adding that it's a "beautiful" island to boot."

Maybe they don't need our Federal Income Tax anymore?

Oh, well in that case I'll keep my American flag up, and continue sending the military boys overseas their care-packages.

"Dog whistle politics"-that's a good description of Sessions' thinly veiled insult of the judge's residence and ethnicity.

It's a crass error to suggest that a judges' conscience be guided by economic considerations.

It's to the point where I am speechless at things being said and done in this administration.

He is right; we are islands in the Pacific; what he didn't say is we are illegally occupied by America at the moment. I thought it was perfect. At least he didn't say "corpse man" like Obama did 3 times in one speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. The video link I have below only shows Obama saying it once, but I was watching it and it was very painful.

It's corpsman, where the p&s are silent. Don't get me started with Obama's miss speaks...way too many to mention. My ex is a decorated corpsman from the war in Vietnam...embarrassing.

Some of you would say the ocean is green if they say it's blue. Get rid of the anger and try be happy.
