Most Migrants at Border With Mexico Would Be Denied Asylum Protections Under New Trump Rule

excerpt:

"The administration made the announcement despite the fact that Guatemala and Mexico have refused to go along with the plan — meaning the countries have made no assurances that they will grant asylum to the migrants who are headed to the United States.

But the Trump administration, which has been negotiating fruitlessly for months with Guatemala and Mexico, gave up and made the announcement without any deal after talks with Guatemala broke down and the country’s president, Jimmy Morales, backed out of a meeting on Monday at the White House. Talks with Mexico remain in flux."

 

Obama tried repeatedly to come to a humane fix to the immigration issue, but the R’s never even tried. Remember “my job is to make you a one term president” Mconnel?
This is a human tragedy of historical proportions. And history will hold all of us accountable. In Germany the bombs fell on everyone, not just the nazis.

 

"Onward, Christian Soldiers" ,,,lol…

 

"But Obama did it first so it's OK for Trump to"- common MAGA argument

OK, so the guy you said was a "dictator" did it first? Interesting. And now the guy who is not also does. Two wrongs don't make a right and somehow the morals of the situation depend on skin tone. They will never get over a black man who is no longer politicaly relevant it's sad.

I will not deny Obama did things I did not like but you are just a fool if you think the current camps are the same kind of thing.

 

In contrast to Trump, Fitzpatrick isn't putty in Putin's hand.

Brian Fitzpatrick (American politician) - Wikipedia

excerpts:

"Career

Fitzpatrick is a former Special Assistant United States Attorney and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supervisory special agent in California. At the FBI, he served as a national supervisor for the Bureau's Public Corruption Unit, and led the agency's Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement program. During his time in the FBI, he spent time in Kiev, Ukraine, Mosul, Iraq and Washington, D.C.[3] He was embedded with U.S. Special Forces as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom."


"In a 2018 debate, Fitzpatrick said that Russia held "by and large, sinister motives", noting that while he was stationed in Ukraine, twice Russia attempted to knock out the nation's electrical grids through cyber attacks.[18]

In July 2018, Fitzpatrick said that President Trump had been "manipulated" by Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the Helsinki Summit. Fitzpatrick said he was "frankly sickened by the exchange" between Trump and Putin. He criticized the "mixed signals" that the Trump administration was sending regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.[25]

In April 2018, Fitzpatrick said that President Trump should stop attacking the FBI and allow Robert Mueller to complete his investigation, stating it was improper to "judge an institution based on the actions of a few bad actors."[26] "

 

Trump made a public remark that he didn't think Putin would invade Crimea years after Putin had invaded Crimea. He tried to cover up his mistake by saying that he meant that he didn't think Putin would invade Crimea 'again'.

Compare Trump with someone like Fitzpatrick who actually had work experience in Ukraine.

Even with payments, Lehigh Valley farmers losing patience with tariffs

Even with payments, Lehigh Valley farmers losing patience with tariffs

excerpts:

"He and other Lehigh Valley farmers are questioning how much longer they can survive under current conditions: variable weather, rising equipment costs, competition for arable land in the Lehigh Valley, a booming soybean scene in Brazil and Argentina, a hog disease wiping out soybean-eating pigs in China and, of course, retaliatory tariffs put on U.S. goods by China.

March 2018 marked the beginning of a trade war with China, with President Donald Trump imposing tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum. China quickly retaliated with 25% tariffs on U.S. goods, including soybeans."


"Almost a year and a half later, farmers are starting to lose patience with the tariffs.

“I would like to see the negotiations come to a resolution,” said Mike Braucher, a Berks County farmer who grows 500 acres each of corn and soybeans. In April 2018, he hoped the tariffs were just “shots across the bow,” intended to help the country get down to business.

In the longer term, he’s worried that U.S. farmers won’t be able to regain the markets they’ve lost.

“American agriculture, it’s going to have some lasting damage because there are other places to get commodities around the world,” he said."

 

Of the Republicans in the House who voted, only 2% voted to condemn Trump.



Trump’s Approval Among Republicans Went Up After His Racist Tweets

Trump's Approval Among Republicans Went Up After His Racist Tweets

excerpt:

"Republican voters don’t seem to mind the racist tweets President Trump fired off this week. In fact, a new poll released Wednesday shows support for the president among the GOP actually rose just after his attacks on the four congresswomen of color known as “The Squad.”

The national survey from Reuters/Ipsos found Trump’s net approval among Republicans climbed by 5 percent from the previous week, up to 72 percent."

 

A society that has lost its soul and compassion is doomed.

 

Republicans like Ron Reagan wouldn't like today's membership. I have been saying for years that the KKK and covert offspring like the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, Unite The Right, and White Nationalists have infiltrated and taken hold of their party. It is very similar to Hitler's Nazi party. Hitler even changed the name of the party back around 1932 or 33 somewhere. The interesting thing about this new Republican party is their membership is willing to take corporate abuse right in the loins as long as they get to hate Black, Mexican, and Muslim people.

A lengthy review of Trump's behavior dating back to the early 1970's.


An Oral History of Trump’s Bigotry
His racism and intolerance have always been in evidence; only slowly did he begin to understand how to use them to his advantage.

An Oral History of Trump’s Bigotry

An excerpt that describes how Trump operates to protect his business interests:

"bradley waterman: Trump and Stone created an organization that was said to be pro-family and anti-gaming. Its real mission was to put the kibosh on gaming by the Mohawks in the Catskills and in that way protect Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City. To that end, the organization—actually Trump and Stone—purchased ads that portrayed the Mohawks as criminals, drug dealers, etc. The Mohawks regarded the ads as racist. So did I. So did everyone else who weighed in.

tony cellini: We were hurting for jobs in this area. And then all of a sudden these attack ads came out, which were financed, we found out later, to the tune of more than $1 million by Donald Trump.

bradley waterman: Trump personally approved the ads. For example, he wrote comments on proofs such as “Roger—do it.” Not surprisingly, Trump and Stone lied about the number of people who contributed financially to the organization. It was strictly a Trump-Stone operation. The chiefs were furious, particularly since Trump never met any Mohawks, set foot on Mohawk territory, or otherwise tried to learn about the Mohawks."

 

Today Trump uses the same smear tactic against migrants from Latin America that he used in the 1990's against Native Americans to try to protect his casino businesses (which all failed anyway).

 

Maybe that's why he's such an inspiration to Americans. He could be seen like the peoples man, actually now that I type that I remember the guy had a rich family didn't he? Lol. Well that aside still, I could see how that might be influential in ways because yeah, he isn't some fancy pants uni graduate and that would appeal to so many people.

That meme to me really just illustrates the American dream right there. In my opinion. You can be a scholar, a black person, or a fucken white trash dumb **** and still be president. Cheers to you good ol' U S of A. Realists. That's it right there, man. The Promised Land.

 

I believe you nailed it.trump supporters, most of whom do not have a higher education(for whatever reason), dislike the fact that they don't have a higher education. It's hard to keep up with the Smiths if one doesn't know how to spell the name.
