Trump's Reply to Accusation He's Whipping Up Racial Hate: 'Make America Great Again'
'When the dog whistle is actually a bullhorn ...'
Haaretz
U.S. President Donald Trump replied on Twitter the words "Make America Great Again" Thursday morning to a tweet from "@ThePlumLineGS," who had posted a Washington Post article criticizing Trump for regularly targeting African Americans in his Twitter storms.
Trump's tweet was immediately perceived as an endorsment, if not a boast, about the notion his attacks on African Americans are part of his strategy to "Make America Great Again."
Uh, Trump just replied "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" to a tweet by @ThePlumLineGS accusing him of racist attacks against black people. Holy cow. pic.twitter.com/j8E2SQI1uZ

Women get out of car, twerk on Florida highway after traffic jam caused by President Trump's arrival
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - There were a few Palm Beach County drivers taking in stride the traffic troubles that came with President Trump's arrival in Florida on Tuesday night.
Author and sports writer Jeff Pearlman was stuck in the traffic when he recorded two women exiting their vehicle to twerk on Interstate 95.
Pearlman tweeted a video that said he was stuck off an exit when the booty-shaking exhibition occurred right in front of his car.
The author said in a Periscope video that he was just trying to get off the interstate to visit his favorite diner when they kept getting out of the car to dance.

Trump's judicial picks: 'The goal is to end the progressive state'

Donald Trump has sustained more than his fair share of political losses during the first 10 months of his presidency, mostly at the hands of the federal courts.
It was the federal courts that struck down his “Muslim travel ban” on three separate occasions, that blocked his ban on trans people in the military and that did the same to his attempt to defund so-called sanctuary cities.
But the makeup of America’s judges is quietly becoming the site of one of Trump’s most unequivocal successes: nominating and installing judges who reflect his own worldview at a speed and volume unseen in recent memory. Trump could conceivably have handpicked more than 30% of the nation’s federal judges before the end of his first term, his advisers have suggested, and independent observers agree.
“The president himself has said that he expects this to be one of his major legacies. He is going to reshape the bench for generations to come,” said Douglas Keith, counsel with the fair courts arm of the Brennan Center for Justice.

Anti-Trump protesters risk 60 years in jail. Is dissent a crime?
On the morning of President Trump’s Inauguration, police trapped and arrested over 230 people. Some were anti-Trump demonstrators; some were not. The next day, federal prosecutors charged them all with “felony rioting,” a nonexistent crime in Washington DC. The prosecution then launched a sweeping investigation into the defendants’ lives, demanding vast amounts of online information through secret warrants.
Prosecutors eventually dropped a few defendants, like journalists and legal observers, but simultaneously increased the charges against everyone else. The most recent indictment collectively charged over 200 people with felony rioting, felony incitement to riot, conspiracy to riot, and five property-damage crimes — all from broken windows.
Each defendant is facing over 60 years in prison.
The prosecution next obtained warrants focused on anti-Trump organizers. One sought a list of all visitors to a website that organizers used to promote Inauguration Day protests. A second sought information on all Facebook friends and related communications of two organizers, the host of a coalition Facebook page, and those who simply “liked” that page.
