Do you think Trump would have reappointed him to four more years?

If only Democrats realized that the easiest and cheapest way to get rid of Donald Trump is to give him his damn Wall
What's he going to run on after that, huh?
In the lame duck Pelosi in the House and Schumer in the Senate could allow just enough Democrats to go along with it that they could arguably still blame it on the Republican controlled 115th Congress.
But they are mean bastards. They'd rather inflict us with him for eight years instead of four.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em: Hillary now laughably blames fear of immigrants for her loss, says Europe must curb immigration, thinks the people crave tyranny!
Now we're sure she's a drunk.
Both Clintons used to say this crap about immigration to America back in ancient times when they ruled in Washington, even as they did NOTHING to reduce the levels of legal immigration into the United States, levels which were dramatically ramped up by their predecessor, George Herbert Walker Bush.
They don't give a damn about Americans. Immigration is only a problem to them because it puts the wrong people in power.
“I think Europe needs to get a handle on migration because that is what lit the flame,” Clinton said, speaking as part of a series of interviews with senior centrist political figures about the rise of populists, particularly on the right, in Europe and the Americas.
“I admire the very generous and compassionate approaches that were taken particularly by leaders like Angela Merkel, but I think it is fair to say Europe has done its part, and must send a very clear message – ‘we are not going to be able to continue provide refuge and support’ – because if we don’t deal with the migration issue it will continue to roil the body politic.” ...
Clinton urged forces opposed to rightwing populism in Europe and the US not to neglect the concerns about race and identity issues that she says were behind her losing key votes in 2016. She accused Trump of exploiting the issue in the election contest – and in office. ...
“The whole American system was designed so that you would eliminate the threat from a strong, authoritarian king or other leader and maybe people are just tired of it. They don’t want that much responsibility and freedom. They want to be told what to do and where to go and how to live … and only given one version of reality.
One way to reform the federal judiciary
One way to reform the federal judiciary would be simply to appoint judges to serve for a period of twelve years but not after that but for the pleasure of the president.
That way any judge coming up on the end of his or her twelfth year would continue to serve only at the pleasure of the current president for four more years, and the president after him or her for four more years, and so on after that. Only new appointees to a court would enjoy the initial twelve year privilege.
The restriction would extend some accountability which now vanishes once one receives a lifetime appointment.
This way there is more hopefulness about the judiciary for both sides of the political spectrum. Both liberals and conservatives would have the reasonable expectation that the consequences of the political process would endure, but not for what might as well be forever, making all parties more accountable to the people.
Senator Chuck Grassley joins President Trump in piling on Bush's Chief Justice John Roberts over Obama's judges
The track record of presidents' judicial appointees is effulgent with political consequence, which is why liberals don't want you to think about the court that way and try to mask it with the myth of judicial independence.
Liberals impose their will by judicial fiat because they can't get their policies through the ordinary democratic way by winning elections.
Hurrah for Grassley!

One term president happy to keep digging his own grave, cares for nothing but money and glory
It would be so easy to develop more oil here in the USA, but there's another promise out the window. All in the hope of getting a piece of paper declaring peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The United $emites run this country.
Despicable libertarian judge Bernard Friedman appointed by Ronald Reagan dismisses cases against Muslim clit cutters in Detroit
This is the same libertarian, anti-conservative, judge who overturned Michigan's 2004 Marriage Act in 2014. He threw out the cases on the grounds the law passed under the Commerce Clause had nothing to do with commerce because Muslim clit cutting isn't a large market with a measurable impact on commerce. It will have when the country is full of Muslims. What a damn fool.Why must we still live under the thumb of judges, let alone under those appointed in the 1980s?
Judge dismisses female genital mutilation charges in historic case:
In a major blow to the federal
government, a judge in Detroit has declared America's female genital
mutilation law unconstitutional, thereby dismissing the key charges
against two Michigan doctors and six others accused of subjecting at
least nine minor girls to the cutting procedure in the nation's first
FGM case.
The historic case involves minor girls
from Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota, including some who cried,
screamed and bled during the procedure and one who was given Valium
ground in liquid Tylenol to keep her calm, court records show.
The judge's ruling also dismissed charges against
three mothers, including two Minnesota women whom prosecutors said
tricked their 7 -year-old daughters into thinking they were coming to
metro Detroit for a girls' weekend, but instead had their genitals
cut at a Livonia clinic as part of a religious procedure.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman concluded that
"as despicable as this practice may be," Congress did not have the
authority to pass the 22-year-old federal law that criminalizes female
genital mutilation, and that FGM is for the states to regulate. FGM is
banned worldwide and has been outlawed in more than 30 countries, though
the U.S. statute had never been tested before this case.
"As laudable as the prohibition of a particular type
of abuse of girls may be ... federalism concerns deprive Congress of the
power to enact this statute," Friedman wrote in his 28-page opinion,
noting: "Congress overstepped its bounds by legislating to prohibit FGM
... FGM is a 'local criminal activity' which, in keeping with
long-standing tradition and our federal system of government, is for the
states to regulate, not Congress."
Currently, 27 states have laws that criminalize female
genital mutilation, including Michigan, whose FGM law is stiffer than
the federal statute, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, compared
with five under federal law. Michigan's FGM law was passed last year in
the wake of the historic case and applies to both doctors who conduct
the procedure, and parents who transport a child to have it done. The
defendants in this case can't be retroactively charged under the new
law. ...
"There is nothing commercial or economic about FGM,"
Friedman writes. "As despicable as this practice may be, it is
essentially a criminal assault. ... FGM is not part of a larger market
and it has no demonstrated effect on interstate commerce. The commerce
clause does not permit Congress to regulate a crime of this nature."

One term president sells out our values to keep a foreign relationship, says it's business as usual with Saudi Arabia despite unacceptable, horrible crime by MBS
What a disgusting spectacle!
This guy knows a thing or two from personal experience about transgressing values in order to have relationships!
MBS, along with every other foreign dictator, including Erdogan, now has a license to kill courtesy of the president of the United States.
Utterly revolting.
"It's a complex issue, it's a shame, but it is what it is," Trump said. "It is America first to me, it is all about America first." "I'm not going to destroy the world economy and I'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with Saudi Arabia," he went on. “Representatives of Saudi Arabia say that Jamal Khashoggi was an “enemy of the state” and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but my decision is in no way based on that – this is an unacceptable and horrible crime,” Trump said in his statement issued earlier Tuesday. “King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman vigorously deny any knowledge of the planning or execution of the murder of Mr. Khashoggi,” Trump said in the statement. He went on: “Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event – maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!” ... "The idea that it goes all the way to the top is blindingly obvious," said the State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
It's always amusing to see what triggers CNBC liberals, in this case a Johnny Reb hat worn by US Senate hopeful Cindy-Hyde Smith
Appearances are everything to liberals, who are our time's cave dwellers of Plato's Republic, who have never seen a reenactment of a War Between The States battle, as I have right here in Yankee Michigan. Yes, we've had full blown Confederate armies here, the state which just witnessed a Democrat sweep of state offices in Election 2018.
A lousy gray hat from yesteryear triggers the headline (the blue Yankee hat goes unremarked):
Young whites are fleeing the Republican Party under Trump: Down 11 points in 18-29 since 2014, 10 points in 30-44
