    Only "clean coal" is making a comeback.


    Too bad there isn't such a thing... But if we find some, it will certainly make a comeback.

    So now we have Pelosi comparing him to Nixon, saying Nixon resigned before before being impeached.

    Before this unofficial, not independant impeachment inquiry has even finished. Because she knows its not going to get anywhere

    Reeks of desperation

    Senior Trump admin official Mina Chang resigns after embellishing resumé
    Mina Chang resigned Monday, six days after an NBC News report about her resume inflation and hours after NBC asked her about newly discovered false claims.

    Senior Trump admin official Mina Chang resigns after embellishing resumé

    excerpt:

    "Chang has cited winning a "CBS Humanitarian of the Year Women That Soar" award in 2012. In fact, it was a local award in Dallas and the event was broadcast by a local CBS affiliate.

    "It's not a CBS award. It aired on a CBS station," said Lori Conrad, market communications director for the CBS Corporation.

    A spokesperson for the Women That Soar event did not respond to a request for comment but Chang's bio has been removed from the organization's website."

    Trump said himself that he throws out names of prospective officials for his administration and lets the media do his vetting because it saves him money. Chang is one of the recurring results.


    Excerpt from Mina Chang's resignation letter:

    "A character assassination based solely on innuendo was launched against me attacking my credentials and character. My superiors at the Department refused to defend me, stand up for the truth or allow me to answer the false charges against me."

    The Trump administration's description of Mina Chang's State Department job responsibilities is a gem.

    She should be combating all of the non-state actors in the Trump administration who exploit to further their agenda.


    Excerpt from State Department:

    "...to isolate root drivers of instability, and direct development initiatives to address critical vulnerabilities that non-state actors exploit to further their agenda."

    Trump’s health under scrutiny again after unplanned visit to Walter Reed
    By Toluse Olorunnipa and Amy Gardner
    November 18, 2019 at 6:36 PM EST

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...3c91a4-0a26-11ea-97ac-a7ccc8dd1ebc_story.html

    excerpt:

    "Several medical experts have questioned why Trump would begin his annual physical in November, just nine months after his last exam, and not complete it until 2020. Leaving a months-long gap between beginning and completing the exam is unusual and potentially counterproductive, said Sotos, who has served as a physician for the Air National Guard.

    “When they complete the physical in six months, the information they got on Saturday would be six months old,” he said. “I haven’t seen such a thing by presidents in the recent past.”"

    People will say if you don't want camps don't come. That assumes kids have a choice in where they go and also that we hold them accountable for crimes. There is a reason courts try children differently. It's a huge deal to debate if 16 is an adult. These kids are a 1/4 of that age. How does a 4 year old get anywhere? An adult put them there or maybe in a rare case they run away. No kid is running to all the way to America.

    Christians need to read their bible regarding treatment of people not from your lands. Evangelical right wingers say Jesus would want this since it's moral to punish crime. What the Bible says is to treat outsiders with respect since the Jew's ways were not the norm in Egypt. It says to love and help each other. Everyone is from god.

    It's not a crime according the UN either. So I don't see any argument. There is no religious or legal reason to this. The reason is one of racism. It's OK since it's those kind of people. It's the same reason why people don't feel bad for inmates on death row. They have earned their place with choices. It's OK for us to show choices can hurt.

    A crucial part of right wing/racist thinking is the idea that compassion is unnatural. What's normal is for you to take of your own. The lion only feeds his own cubs he does not invite the cheetahs to share since he has so much. It's why any welfare or tax is bad. How does this help me? Why does someone else take my money and help someone else? I have a pride to feed myself you know.

    I guarantee if there was white Christians in a cage somewhere the same alt-right types would say it's so unfair. They are peaceful and this just proves how the world is against them. So why does this not apply to Spanish speakers?

    I am just sensitive to this since I hear a lot of stores of what happens to kids without parents. For Americans this usualy means the dad has a meth addiction and robbed 7/11 so they can't see him. They deal with all kinds of sad stuff that sticks with them. It's the same for the Spanish. It's not right to make a parent essentially die for them.

    Trump's Child Separation Policy "Absolutely" Violated International Law Says UN Expert

    "Of course, separating children—as was done by the Trump administration—from their parents, even small children, at the Mexican-U.S. border is absolutely prohibited by the Convention on the Rights of the Child," Nowak continued. "I would call it inhuman treatment for both the parents and the children. And there are still quite a number of children that are separated from their parents—and neither the children know where their parents are and the parents [don't] know where the children are—so that is definitely something that definitely should not happen again."


    "We still have more than 100,000 children in migration-related detention" in the U.S., Nowak said, "so that's far more than all the other countries where we have reliable figures." Nowak added that the U.S. "did not respond to our questionnaire" requesting data for the report.

    Like he did about coal mining, Trump made the same claim about the U.S. steel producing industry to a cheering crowd at one of his rallies in Pittsburgh in 2018. "It's all coming back!"

    It isn't.

    Forgotten and crumbling, a PA steel town turned to Trump. Two years later, it's a mixed bag.
    By Jason Margolis

    Forgotten and crumbling, a PA steel town turned to Trump. Two years later, it's a mixed bag.

    excerpt:

    "That anger in places like Monessen helped get Trump elected. But now, some of that anger has turned on the president.

    Jackie Elias, a retired special education teacher, says President Trump has been peddling false hope. And worse.

    “Why is he not bringing his manufacturing back to the United States so more people will have jobs? And his daughter with all the lucrative contracts from China, that doesn't make sense to me,” Elias says. “How are you going to make other people bring business in here when you won't even bring your own businesses back to the United States?”"

    Some Trump supporters in a dilapidated steel town are clinging to the notion that Trump's border wall will improve their situation by keeping out immigrants, even though Trump hasn't revived the steel mills of the town.


    Forgotten and crumbling, a PA steel town turned to Trump. Two years later, it's a mixed bag.

    excerpt:

    "Overall, though, Hans says he’s happy with the president.

    “He's trying to get the wall, but the Democrats are stopping that, mainly it's Pelosi and Schumer. That’s my opinion. You’ve seen the caravans coming in, the immigrants jumping over the fence and everything like that on TV. That’s crazy. It's crazy. And then they come in, and they take jobs away from people,” Hans says."

    No. But Trump promised to bring coal back--another broken promise.
