Trump reverses migrant separation policy

[One Brow]

lessee..... did Trump claim dems got millions of fraudulent votes from non-existent, dead, illegal, non-citizens or paid crews of multiple vote-casters?

No for non-existent or dead, yes for illegal and non-citizens. I know there were claims of paid crews of non-citizens, but don't remember that they were Trump's claims specifically.

Trump would not have been announcing the conclusions of an FBI investigation on systematic voter fraud.

Because there was no systemic voter impersonation fraud, nor an FBI investigation into it.

He would have been bantering in response to nonsensical claims that he must have cheated, or must have gotten help from the Russians to get the votes counted "right".

No, he was responding the truth of his being a minority President.

what is this, two years almost gone by and there's this desperate little band of election deniers here in JFC who don't believe Trump won the election? Or was he really born in Scotland and a Scot citizen ineligible to be Pres?

He won the election while losing the popular vote. Do you disagree?

It is therefore a moral good if Obama can rally an organization like ACORN to surround whitish neighborhood voting places with an ill-tempered band of thugs with baseball bats.

The thugs with bats at one voting place had nothing to do with ACORN. They were members of the New Black Panthers.

after all, what use is Truth if the world is just spinning the wrong way.

Have some pity on the irony meters, please.

To paraphrase:

Unknamed kid's lawyer says he is innocent and the government is singling out this ONE child with a BLANKET policy, inferring this must be the norm (when it's the exception). There is nothing more to the story and you need zero details about the mysterious csse because TRUMP, ICE, DHS.

How do you function in society reading and believing so much of this obvious trash?

Are you asking me how I function in society? OK, most days. Enjoying a great Summer, sorry to see it end. Love hazy, hot, and humid. Tides going out, heading out to take a walk on the shore. When I get back, might look for some more good reading. A lot of it will be political. Love History, so the present era is sorta like a highway crash to me. Gotta look, lol. And analyze. And just think about current events. You know, I often tell my friends to never sleepwalk through that portion of History that is theirs to live. Never really saw the Trump era coming, and doing my best to understand it, and what the future portends. And I try to get the big picture by looking at human affairs as if I were a visitor from another planet. You know, try to extracate from my own time and place to get perspective. Anyway, the mind is still sharp, staving off dementia, lol. I function just fine in society, probably order a pizza for supper...

The Trump administration is revoking passports from Hispanics living near the border, and deporting United States citizens who are Hispanic. This decision has got to have the thinking of Stephen Miller all over it...

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligence...ion-questioning-citizenship-of-hispanics.html

"Extending its fight against immigration generally, whether or not it is lawful, there are now signs the administration is trying aggressively to strip existing citizenship rights, and the privileges that go with them, from entire classes of people based on, well, being Hispanic and having been born near the U.S.-Mexico border. The Washington Post has the alarming story:

The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship …

In some cases, passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation proceedings. In others, they are stuck in Mexico, their passports suddenly revoked when they tried to reenter the United States. As the Trump administration attempts to reduce both legal and illegal immigration, the government’s treatment of passport applicants in South Texas shows how U.S. citizens are increasingly being swept up by immigration enforcement agencies.

The saga in part seems to go back to evidence that arose in the 1990s that some midwives and physicians in Texas were fraudulently issuing birth certificates for babies actually born in Mexico. In part because of how incredibly difficult it was to identify such cases among the far greater number of babies delivered by the same people in entirely legitimate circumstances, most litigation over this issue ended in 2009. But then Donald Trump became president:

Under President Trump, the passport denials and revocations appear to be surging, becoming part of a broader interrogation into the citizenship of people who have lived, voted and worked in the United States for their entire lives …"

I'm guessing this emphasis has the approval of Stephen Miller, that compassionate 33 year with all that power:

This could really go in any Trump thread but a line from Sharp Objects (the book, not the HBO mini-series) reminds me of Trump and his family.

"A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort."

I suppose the same could be true for many politicians or businessmen but Trump's dug an even deeper proverbial grave for himself than one could've ever imagined over the last couple years and his kin haven't done themselves any favors in showing that each is their own person and cut from a different cloth.
