Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

I wonder if we will see Farm Bailout Package number 3?

Yes.

Next year is 2020. Trump will announce the third bailout while running to literally buy votes.

they only bring up Lincoln as a "we have the same name as the party that did something good, please PLEASE black people vote for us. P.S. Please ignore what happened or was said last week, let alone the last 100 years" otherwise they never mention Lincoln.. sort of like Bush

Trump Administration Seeks Decertification Of Immigration Judges' Union

The Justice Department late last week moved to seek the decertification of the union representing hundreds of U.S. immigration judges, ratcheting up a simmering battle over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies.

The department filed a petition Friday asking the Federal Labor Relations Authority to determine whether the certification of National Association of Immigration Judges as the union representing some 440 immigration judges should be revoked "because the bargaining unit members are management officials under the statutory definition," according to a Justice Department spokesperson.

"This is nothing more than a desperate attempt by the DOJ to evade transparency and accountability, and undermine the decisional independence of the nation's 440 Immigration Judges," said Judge Ashley Tabaddor, speaking in her capacity as president of the National Association of Immigration Judges, said in an emailed statement. "We are trial court judges who make decisions on the basis of case specific facts and the nation's immigration laws. We do not set policies, and we don't manage staff," she added.

The administration and the immigration judges union have been at loggerheads over a variety of issues, including the judges' status as employees of the Justice Department. Judges are appointed by the attorney general and they are not part of the independent judiciary. They have publicly argued for their separation from the Justice Department.

Basically Immigration Judge's Union been complaining about the quota system and making a lot of noises in the news. The administration hated that and is trying to close the union.

Well he would probably be a Democrat looking at the way the parties evolved.

The GOP is what it is. They don't care about logic, morals, being fair, taking responsibility, any of that. Trying to hold them to any sort of virtue or integrity is pointless.

All they care about is power and winning, they don't care about the means it takes to get their either.

The sooner Democrats and those who don't want to play the GOPs game realize shaming (or educating) the GOP doesn't work, the better.

The more time that can spent on real campaign strategy, policy, and plans to correct the ship.

What else can you tell us about Looking Glass Land?

So, how long before the next bit of socialism for the farmers?

Trump seems particularly upset someone promised to pay him, and didn't, and he has no recourse.

Hmm.

Also, "farmers getting more than China is spending" requires explanation. Is it because we're losing more than just China would spend? Is it because he's giving farmers -- sorry, farm corporations -- more than they're losing? Is he lying?

It's a safe bet he's lying, the question is about what.

Lying requires understanding, though. It's probably just an old man half listening to a briefing and only remembering the parts he likes, then somehow trying to understand them.

Trump official revises Statue of Liberty poem to defend migrant rule change

A top US immigration official has revised a quote inscribed on the Statue of Liberty in defence of a new policy that denies food aid to legal migrants.

The head of Citizenship and Immigration Services tweaked the passage: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".

The official added the words "who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge".

In other news, the Preamble to the Constitution has been ammended, and now reads: "We the White People"

This is a joke right?

It reads like an Onion article. That it's not is rather disgusting.

"No battle is over in a minute. If it is, it wasn't worth fighting.” America's great farmers are standing firmly behind @RealDonaldTrump! https://t.co/5uJQWkz4ZL

Anecdotal video of farmers being interviewed w/o evidence if farmers will vote for or against Trump in 2020.

My opinion is they will which show that: a) It was never about economic anxiety and b) the cult of Trump to suffer for their glorious leader. I'm sure they would have sacrificed under Obama.

Look at all those socialists.

So if Trump's buddy tweeted "I'm gonna kill all you fucking Jews and brownies", it would be ok if Trump retweeted that because he trusts him. Good to know.

This doesn't much bother me with what he did... because it's what he has already done. It's what his followers want him to do, and it's basically all he's got going for him. Being outraged is pointless, because it doesn't change anything. I've given up trying to push for reason with his supporters. As for him, he's little more than an obstacle, a shit stain on history. He will go down as one of the worst presidents in history, and will be villified moving forward.

[Felya]

Vilified by even his most ardent supporters. Since they cannot even admit to supporting him, they have their plausible deniability for when he is out of office.

It's actually true, but I think it will not be until years after he's left office. It will be when another Republican gets elected, and they can still try and act like conservatives. They will hope that people will forget, so they can move forward without being a pariah in society. I'm not going to let them.

I’m betting on the moment he loses. Like the “independents” gloating that they tricked people into voting for Trump in 2016. It will be the same thing... from November to February, before he even leaves office, they will realize how awful Trump has been. It will start minutes after he loses... get ready for a lot of “quote me where I said I support Trump”.

Oh, I have no doubt that the trolls and the shitposters will smile and laugh that it was all for fun. Of course, I was referring to serious people... not those idiots.

Why wouldn't they support Trump? He's paying them for their support.
