Many of the refugees streaming across the US border with Mexico are from Central American nations like Honduras, one of many nations whose democratically elected leaders were overthrown by the American Central Intelligence Agency. This is classic blowback. In this case, a Democrat was responsible so many liberals looked the other way.
Justice Anthony Kennedy has been the deciding vote on the US Supreme Court for many years. Now he is retiring. It’s only natural, as Donald Trump prepares to nominate a conservative Republican to replace him, to wonder what Hillary Clinton would have done instead. Odds are, it would not have been much different. Her ideological history and militant centrism suggests as much.
FoxNews host Laura Ingraham says that foreign children detained at the US border with Mexico have nothing to complain about because the facilities are essentially the exact same as that of a summer camp or perhaps a boarding school. One has to wonder what kind of sad childhood she had.
Melania Trump visited a US detention facility on the Mexico border. Did she have another agenda?
“This is not who we are.” Americans are saying this about the forced separation of children from their migrant parents at the border with Mexico. They said it about torture. Yet we keep doing these horrible things over and over again. So it isn’t really true. These horrible acts are exactly who we are.
According to the New York Times in one of its more elitist articles, Americans who can afford them are taking “culturally anointed vacations timed to big life events” like honeymoons, babymoons and now jobbymoons (trips between jobs). Now here’s some culturally anointed BS for the rest of us.
Former New York mayor and now Donald Trump attorney Rudolph Giuliani says that we shouldn’t believe porn star Stormy Daniels because she works in pornography and therefore isn’t credible. Democratic-leaning news outlets like MSNBC went crazy, asking what kind of person would look down on a porn star? The answer, of course, is most people, including liberals. But hey, this is a positive move even if it’s completely motivated by hypocritical partisanship against President Trump. Anything that results in less Puritanism and less slut-shaming is more than welcome.
A narrow majority of the United States Supreme Court has approved Ohio’s controversial Republican-backed “use it or lose it” voter-purging law. If you miss two elections, even minor ones, you will be purged from voter registration rolls unless you respond to a postcard mailed to you by the state. However, the postcards are made to look like junk mail so two out of three Ohio voters who receive them throw them away. It’s a brazen attempt to disenfranchise liberal-leaning voters since they are more likely to miss elections. But let’s look at the bright side: this could be used for all sorts of other shenanigans, and not just in the voting booth.
Democrats have extremely high hopes for the special counsel probe into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election. They hope that Robert Mueller will lead to the impeachment or resignation of President Trump based on what he finds. However, Nancy Pelosi says Democrats will not impeach him even if they take back the House of Representatives. And there is a lot of doubt that Mueller will find enough information about Trump anyway. Plus there is considerable controversy over whether a sitting president can be indicted anyway. So in the end, after all this drama, we may be left with nothing more than a report.
Actors, producers, corporate executives, and many other ones powerful men are now hiding out, lying low, hoping that America will forget that they have been humiliated and shamed as a result of the anti-sexual-harassment #MeToo movement. Now we’re clear about where they’ve been hiding.
