Quote from: gogators! on June 23, 2018, 11:07:58 amSo, trumpists, which is it?QuotePresident Donald Trump declared Friday that North Korea still poses an "extraordinary threat" to the United States.In an executive order, the president extended for one year the so-called "national emergency" with respect to the nuclear-armed nation, re-authorizing economic restrictions against it.While expected, the declaration comes just nine days after Trump tweeted, "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea," following his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.The order appears to undermine the president's claim.So if two people are pointing guns at each other and shouting , that’s a little different than shaking hands and talking, right ? Another stupid attempt at demogoguing Hopefully people continue to remember how dishonest dems are

The image itself is still powerful and represents the image shared by many people about the Trump administration and their policy on immigration.
Surely you're not trying to claim that as many as 2300 children were not separated from their parents and taken into the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are you?

Was that under Obama or Trump? Because former Obama DHS head Jeh Johnson just admitted it sometimes happened under Obama as well.https://www.aclu.org/blog/mass-incarceration/unnecessary-incarceration/president-obama-wants-continue-imprisoningMaybe because in some of those cases there were legitimate concerns about human trafficking or something suspicious?
POLITICSFormer President Barack Obama didn't separate 90,000 migrant familiesFILE - In this Wednesday, June 25, 2014, file photo, President Barack Obama speaks at the League of Conservation Voters Capitol Dinner at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)Friday, June 22, 2018 11:38AMWASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama did not oversee the separation of 90,000 migrant children and their parents at the U.S. border, contrary to a misleading online report and claims circulating on social media.The claim, published on a conservative website, was repeated on social media throughout the week as President Donald Trump faced criticism over his administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which has left more than 2,300 children separated from their parents at the U.S. border since May.RELATED: Trump's conflicting rhetoric on border separations muddles immigration debateThe false claim appears to stem from a January 2016 Senate subcommittee report that investigated how the Department of Health and Human Services, under the Obama administration, placed thousands of unaccompanied children illegally entering the country.The subcommittee report found that from October 2013 through 2015 the federal agency placed nearly 90,000 children with a sponsor, after they were detained at the border without a legal guardian. The majority of those sponsors, the report found, were a parent or legal guardian living in the country. No specific numbers were provided in the report. HHS did not respond to the AP's request for that information.RELATED: Obama targets Trump for pulling US from Iran dealHomeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Monday separating families is not new, but acknowledged that the Obama administration and that of President George W. Bush did so at a lesser rate. Past administrations, Nielsen said, separated families at the border when federal agents suspected the adult of human trafficking, smuggling, posing a national security risk or when the adult's relationship to the child could not be verified. Nielsen acknowledged the Trump administration implemented a new policy of separating children and re-classifying them as "unaccompanied" when federal agents refer the parents for criminal prosecution.Gil Kerlikowske, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner from early 2014 to the end of Obama's term, said parents were split from their children if they were arrested on drug charges, for example, or had an outstanding warrant.
resident Donald Trump's businesses don’t seem too concerned about “America First."A Vox analysis of hiring records for seasonal workers at three Trump properties in New York and Florida revealed that only one out of 144 jobs went to a US worker from 2016 to the end of 2017. Foreign guest workers with H-2B visas got the rest.
It's clear that trump is not only about stopping asylum seekers but is completely anti-immigration period stop. Unless the immigrant's skin is white, of course.
QuoteThe Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a person is dirty on the outside, they are dirty on the inside!Fixed Trump's tweet. Again Trump wading into something he shouldn't, a bit like Huckabee-Sanders using her official White House twitter to lay into the restaurant.

So basically, Trump is trying to take down Harley Davidson a 115-year American firm, while saving a Chinese espionage/telecom firm?
QuoteA Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!Trump is thinking of hitting Harley with a tax that doesn't exist?QuoteEarly this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand. That was long before Tariffs were announced. Hence, they were just using Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse. Shows how unbalanced & unfair trade is, but we will fix it.....No, they were going to move some plant operations to Thailand -pre-trade war. His understanding of macro-economics is terrible. You just gave Harley more incentive to do it, dickhead. Quote....We are getting other countries to reduce and eliminate tariffs and trade barriers that have been unfairly used for years against our farmers, workers and companies. We are opening up closed markets and expanding our footprint. They must play fair or they will pay tariffs!You're not expanding your footprint, you're pissing off long time allies, in some ridiculous idea you're going to win an unwinnable trade war.Quote....We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the E.U. in that they have long taken advantage of the U.S. in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out - and it won’t take very long!So basically, Trump is trying to take down Harley Davidson a 115-year American firm, while saving a Chinese espionage/telecom firm?

Multiple shooting in Annapolis, in a media news outlet. Not surprised by US shootings anymore.What motives given by the shooter will be eye-opening, given Trump's repeated attacks on the media. QuotePrior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.

trump's attacks on the media--"our greatest enemy"--may have pushed him over the edge. Why after all this time go postal?
