Trump wants to add 10,000 employees to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service under the Department of Homeland Security. This huge increase would largely be dedicated to carrying out mass deportations ordered in order to follow up his campaign promises. You kind of have to ask yourself: what kind of person would want to do this kind of work?
Major news outlets including CNN, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and BuzzFeed were banned from a recent White House press briefing with Donald Trump press secretary Sean Spicer. While most people are focusing on the fact that these outlets were banned for publishing things that displeased the White House, what about the fact that these guys shouldn’t be attending such events in the first place? Whatever happened to real reporting?
Entering the “bathroom wars” surrounding laws like North Carolina’s rule prohibiting transgender people from using the restrooms associated with their gender identities, the Trump Administration will roll back Obama-era regulations that allow transgender students to use their appropriate restroom. Take it from my personal experience, though…really, who uses your restroom is so not a big deal it’s ridiculous.
Under Trump’s mass deportation plan, legal residents suspected of the tiniest offenses could be thrown out of the United States.
Donald Trump’s sweeping new plan to deport 11 million illegal immigrants includes a provision that also targets 12.6 million green card holders whom the authorities even suspect of even the most trivial offense. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where Trump’s mass deportation plan is heading next.
When someone with no talent defeats you, do you suck it up? Or do you complain and get accused of being jealous of someone better?
Worried about President Trump’s incipient fascism? Don’t fret – there’s no way this bunch of dysfunctional morons could possibly run things as efficiently as real fascists like Hitler and Mussolini!
For a long time, people wondered how a nation as civilized as Germany went for Hitler. The United States is spiraling into disaster, but it won’t be a mystery to anyone how or why we got there.
General Michael Flynn was fired as Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser after it was revealed that US spy agencies tapped his phone calls with Russian officials throughout the campaign. Those intercepts showed that he had spoken about dropping US sanctions against Russia should Trump get elected, a possible violation of the Logan Act. Compared to Obama and Bush’s warmongering and the impunity with which they did it, the reaction to Flynn’s peacemongering reveals a lot about our national priorities.
In many respects, Barack Obama’s policies were not that different than Donald Trump’s. Yet Democrats continue to miss him as though he had been a shining example of perfect governance.
