Trump admin to cancel educational and recreational activities and legal aid services for unaccompanied minors being held at the border.
The cruelty is the point. Always.
Trump Tells Prince Charles: Don’t Blame the U.S. for Climate Crisis
President breaks royal protocol by disclosing that Charles took him to task over climate change. Trump told him that even if climate change is real, it isn’t America’s fault.
And, just because Trump is a clueless jackass:
It’s exactly what the Trumpists want to hear: “If our little trade war hurts the economy, Jerome Powell will bail us out with lower interest rates.”
That’s also how normal cyclical economic corrections can become full-blown financial crises if that becomes a policy norm.
Your Royal Highness, welcome to our world.
I wonder how those Trump supporters who claim their need to force women to bear children against their will is based on concern for children’s well-being feel about this. I expect they’re fine with it but I’m always willing to be surprised.
Rex Tillerson was right: he’s a fucking moron.
The Dow loves rate cuts. All news is filtered through: will this make rate cuts more likely, or less?
If I am reading this right, the subject of that oh-so-unfair Witch Hunt has once again eschewed protocol in favor of the Witches’ Code: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”
Coincidence?
MAGA-bot: I ain’t got nuthin’ against legal immigration. I’m against ILLEGAL immigration. And they should learn ENGLISH! Like yesterday.
Migrant: Ok, great. I’ll start tomorrow.
MAGA-bot: No, no, no!!! Stop learning English, just get the fuck out of the country! Wait, wait, before you go, I’ve got a job paintin’ houses, puttin’ up fences, and doing dangerous shit that snowflake libs don’t wanna do. I’ll pay you below minimum wage and offer no benefits. Oh, and you don’t exist. Deal?
I think what he said was : “You also had some very fine weather on both sides”
Trump is ‘making up’ for not serving in Vietnam with increased defense funding, he says
Christ, the balls on this guy…
Well, he would have needed them to get through his own “personal Vietnam” back in the '80s.
I might buy it if he was spending his own money. He’s not. He’s spending ours.
How much of that increased funding is for his asinine space force? Oh, and what about his quaint little stunt of trying to use funds targeted for the military to pay for his incredibly fucking stupid monument to racism, the Almighty Wall of All? And, of course, it is not a good thing to meddle in the military justice system to ensure murderers get away with murder. Make no mistake, the saffron scum is no true supporter of the military.
But, hey, given the incredible lack of decent character traits and the abundance of negative personality traits the Saffron Scum has, it’s probably a damn good thing he didn’t serve in Vietnam. At the very least, he would have gotten members of his own unit killed.
Many migrants have reported that when they arrived at CBP facilities, officers confiscated their medications and never returned them. Volunteer physicians who have been treating the migrants have seen numerous people with dangerous health conditions that have gotten worse since they arrived in the US.
We’re operating concentration camps. We destroy families, take away people’s life-sustaining medications, and subject children to maltreatment. We’re a half step away from shaving their heads to make coats.
You might appreciate this; it’s a 2 minute sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Look, a brilliant comedy program from a decade or so ago.
After you watch it:[spoiler]Okay, now think about the Oakland Raiders, the No Fear logo, the Terminator, biker-type t-shirts, Ed Hardy shirts… lots and lots of skulls in current popular American culture.
Now ask yourself the question: are we the baddies? How do you think we look to the rest of the world?[/spoiler]
Personally, I’m increasingly awed by the world’s leaders and ceremonial heads of state and such (in this case, Prince Charles). The degree of self-control it must take to refrain from literally falling on the floor laughing, is genuinely impressive.
I wish they wouldn’t hold back.
That would be satisfying in a way. But on the other hand, we’re all better than he is. No question. And no one wants to give that up by descending into rudeness.
Reminds me of 1990. President Bush, having just driven the Iraqis out of Kuwait, announced the dawning of a “New World Order”. I heard that phrased translated as "Just do like we say and nobody gets hurt.”
