The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making Part Deux (Part 1)

Losing it?

I don’t know if you can even say he’s lost it.

I doubt he ever had it.

Santos L. Halper, is that you?

Trump administration officials ejected nearly 9,000 unaccompanied migrant children from the U.S. without court hearings — taking no precautions to protect them from traffickers.

Border Patrol Deputy Chief Raoul Ortiz revealed in a court declaration Friday that 8,800 unaccompanied minors have ben kicked out of the country since March 20 because of COVID-19 health restrictions, CBS News was the first to report.

Department of Homeland Security officials have suspended humanitarian protections for most migrants crossing the border, claiming that public health law takes precedence over asylum, immigration and anti-trafficking safeguards during a pandemic, according to CBS.

Before the mass expulsions, unaccompanied children were sent to the U.S. refugee agency, which is required under a 2008 anti-trafficking law. But compliance with the law has been suspended.

Ironically, President Donald Trump has boasted that his administration is putting “unprecedented pressure on sex traffickers at home and abroad. My administration is fighting these monsters … We’ve had a tremendous track record,” he bragged In January, less than two months before his officials simply sent away thousands of unaccompanied migrant children.

My bold.

Should read: “Ironically, lying motherfucker President Donald Trump has boasted…”

I see no problem with dogs getting ballots or credit cards, as they are intelligent, well-informed, and loyal creatures with great common sense, and can be counted on to use these privileges responsibly. It boggles the mind that cats would get any of these things. They’re cats, FFS! Must be some really major bureaucratic screw-up if true, which I doubt.

Individual 1 repeated at his Nevada Covid fest yesterday that he’s entitled to a third term.

“…entitled…”

Donald, of House Harkonnen, first of his name…

I remember the Republican convention, when Jar-Jar Binks rose to give the nominating speech, thinking “This is not good”,

Yes, but dogs will vote for whoever gives them treats. Cats too, I would imagine. In fact, many humans are like that.

I agree about the dogs, but cats will vote for whoever the fuck they want to even if you give them a boatload of treats. Like many humans.

Like cats would deign to vote.

If you’re saying that dogs can be bribed, yes, some are not as good boys as others and could be bribed with, say, the bone side of a prime rib roast. But they’re not nearly as susceptible to bribes as humans, being much more honest and principled. My dog, for instance, would never accept treats from a stranger – didn’t trust 'em. Cats are more like Trump – they’ll take bribes from anyone, make promises they can’t keep, and then either throw their benefactor under the bus or, circumstances permitting, try to kill them.

Yeah how cats like to grab’em by the pussy.

You know, you’ve got a point.

We should enfranchise dogs, and remove people from government.

Lot more play time and snacks, a whole lot less corruption and war.

About 8,800 unaccompanied children expelled at U.S. border under coronavirus-related measure

Aww, come on! Fake news fer sure, nobody…nobody!..would do such a thing! Its preposterous, ridiculous, not even Trump

Fuck.

Hell, I would vote for a border collie for President. One of them could keep Congress properly herded in.

Hell, at age 14 my dog STILL smells everything I hand to her before she will take it.

God dammit, I DON’T WANT my fucking payroll taxes fucking deferred! I’m talking to my union steward tonight.

Fucking Hell!

It’s also not a promise he can keep. Only Congress can forgive the payback.

It’s a bribe, for those foolish enough not to realize that if the payroll tax is repealed, Social Security, which the Republicans have been trying to destroy for years, will disappear in 3 years.

Strange that my conservative kin are all up in arms about some movie on Netflix, yet they can’t even spare a hijacked “save the children” hashtag for news like this. :thinking:

That’s because “brown” children don’t count as “real” children.
