White House slams Philadelphia mayor for ‘disgusting’ victory dance over sanctuary city ruling
MSN News ^ | June 7, 2018 | John Roberts

The White House on Thursday slammed the mayor of Philadelphia’s “disgusting” celebratory dance after a court ruled in favor of the city in a fight with the Trump administration on its sanctuary city status. U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot cut off grants to the city over policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Baylson said the conditions the administration placed on the city were unconstitutional, “arbitrary and capricious.”

Video tweeted by Philadelphia Mayor James Kenney’s deputy chief of staff showed him dancing with chief of staff Jane Slusser.

“Sanctuary city, yeh!” a giddy Kenney sings before high-fiving Slusser.

The Bush family made sure to poison the well before they moved out of town. Every one of the Bushes is an enemy of the American people. They have more love for Soros and Bilderbergers than they for ordinary Americans.

And that phony fake "Texan" good ol' boy persona that G.W. puts on sounds like nails on a blackboard. Unbearable.

6 Philly politicians tied to corruption scandals since the DNC

The Feds raided union leader Johnny Doc’s South Philly home early this morning and later raided Doc’s Union Pub, IBEW Local 98s headquarters and Councilman Bobby Henon’s office. Henon is a board member of Local 98.

Dougherty is arguably the most powerful person in Philly politics. His connections extend from City Council to Mayor Jim Kenney to Hillary Clinton, whom he met with earlier this year.

There’s more: While Kenney’s office was not raided, the Inquirer reported the Feds are after Dougherty in part because of his union’s involvement with the political campaigns of Kenney and Supreme Court Justice Kevin Dougherty, Dougherty’s brother.

Not to worry. I’m sure the mayor is one of 300,000 sealed indictments. BOOM!

Been saying for years now: If I were President, I would immediately dispatch federal marshals to arrest all mayors, councilmen, sheriffs and police chiefs that are in violation of federal law.

Period.

BTW, the DA of Philthadelphia is a Soros candidate. Soros bought ll other cities also. That a-hole Mayor belongs in prison. Soros deserves a drone up his Obunghole.

IOW a single federal judge, without a stake in the outcome, can substitute his social justice feelings for the measured action of the Chief Executive whose duty is to protect and defend the nation.

Liberal judge affirms that illegal activity is legal.
****************************************
And THAT is why we need to insist that McConnell have RAPID votes on all of Trump’s nominees for District Court judgeships. Those folks who are celebrating the number of Appeals Court nominees receiving votes need to see the BIGGER PICTURE.

ALL federal judgeships are IMPORTANT. It is the District Court judges giving Trump the hardest time. Let’s fill the numerous federal District Court vacancies with Trump appointees. And let’s do it QUICKLY.

The SCOTUS is going to be quite busy during Trump’s administration.

I’ve been wondering why Federal Marshals are not going to the City Halls and arresting mayors and city council members on, at minimum, conspiracy to violate immigration law.

Because they would end up in front of judges just like the one who ruled in favor of the city.

Obama did the same, with all of his EOs that were not Constitutional and aiding the spread of Muslim terrorism.

Dubya deserves an atta-boy, though, for all he does for the military vets and recovering wounded.

Trump should declare a state of national emergency, form a military tribunal for treason, convict, hang, and keep on until every traitor is dead.

Dear Mitch;

I have an idea for something to do during your August
non-recess. Hint: it’s nuclear.

Thanks.
