Re: All Things Trump
YOUR PARTY HATES YOU. JUST A FEW REMNANTS (IN BATTLEGROUND STATES) OF YOUR PEOPLE BOTHER WITH YOUR SILLY RALLIES
President Trump felt a need to be loved again, so he did what he always does when he needs love — he left his house and did a campaign rally. On Wednesday night, it was in Duluth, Minn., where a crowd turned out to cheer their man. Well, most of them cheered. Twice, Trump paused while security forces ejected protesters.
Trump’s anger at the protesters was revealing. I’ve watched nearly all of his rallies, and he has never been this intent on seeing any sign of protest erased. He really lingered on watching the protesting people being removed from his sight — he stared silently, glaring. It was as though Trump resented any disruption in the last place he can get unconditional love anymore — he feels beleaguered in the current state of his presidency.
Trump ranted and raved with unusual bitterness this night. It’s clear that on this, the evening after he was forced to back down from his new policy to have some migrant children removed from their parents detained at the border, he was feeling besieged. It led to forced jollity — “Is there anything more fun than a Trump rally?” he asked..

Re: All Things Trump
Preparations to take kids from parents started in September of 2017. This wasn't just some impulsive policy change gone awry.
Businesses have made millions off Trump's child separation policy

The data reviewed by Yahoo News was for a contract vehicle called “Shelter Care for Unaccompanied Children 2022.” This included 10 different contracts for up to approximately $92 million that were awarded to five different vendors starting in September 2017. The contracts include plans to operate the shelters through September 2022.

Re: All Things Trump
What's the getting that many of those contractors will continue to be paid regardless of whether the policy is implemented or not.

Re: All Things Trump
Now we know where Trump learned about "fake news."
National Enquirer sent stories about Trump to his attorney Michael Cohen before publication, people familiar with the practice say
National Enquirer sent stories about Trump to his attorney Michael Cohen before publication, people familiar with the practice say
During the presidential campaign, National Enquirer executives sent digital copies of the tabloid’s articles and cover images related to Donald Trump and his political opponents to Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen in advance of publication, according to three people with knowledge of the matter — an unusual practice that speaks to the close relationship between Trump and David Pecker, chief executive of American Media Inc., the Enquirer’s parent company.
Although the company strongly denies ever sharing such material before publication, these three individuals say the sharing of material continued after Trump took office.
“Since Trump’s become president and even before, [Pecker] openly just has been willing to turn the magazine and the cover over to the Trump machine,” said one of the people with knowledge of the practice.
During the campaign, “if it was a story specifically about Trump, then it was sent over to Michael, and as long as there were no objections from him, the story could be published,” this person added.
The Enquirer’s alleged sharing of material pre-publication with Trump’s attorney during the campaign highlights the support the tabloid news outlet offered Trump as he ran for president. It also intersects with a subject that federal prosecutors have been investigating since earlier this year: Cohen’s efforts to quash negative stories about Trump during the campaign. As part of that, prosecutors are also looking into whether Cohen broke campaign finance laws, according to people familiar with the investigation.
Federal prosecutors subpoenaed American Media Inc. as part of their investigation into Cohen, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week. A Justice Department official said Pecker did not fall under the regulation that governs when and how prosecutors can obtain records of members of the news media.
...
Once Enquirer editors sent a story or cover image, sometimes a request for changes came back, according to two of the people with knowledge of the relationship. Stories about Trump were positive in nature, and changes related to the stories were not dramatic, according to one person with knowledge of the matter, who said most of the changes in stories sent to Cohen resulted in more flattering cover photos or changes to cover headlines.
Trump suggested stories to Pecker on a regular basis, one of these people said, and had access to certain pieces — including one about Hillary Clinton’s health — before publication.
These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared legal action or professional retribution if they spoke publicly about Trump or AMI, which publishes other celebrity-focused titles including Us Weekly, the Globe and Star.

Re: All Things Trump
But you'll agree that it's representative of the situation? If you're going to maintain that it somehow misrepresents the situation, on strictly factual grounds as it were, then we should probanky also note that Trump never met that child in a red room and never said those words either.

Re: All Things Trump
If parents are arrested, they don't send the kids to jail with them. What happens when parents commit crimes, get arrested, and leave children in need of care? Do they get let go on their own recognizance?Seabass wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 11:49 pmWell, kudos to Trump shitheads for not being quite as bad as the fucking Nazis.

The reason for the separation policy was this: When you have people breaking through the border illegally, they have to be detained. If they're bringing kids with them, the law would not allow children to be detained with the parents. So, it's either let the lawbreakers go, or put the kids with someone else (or in a care centers). There aren't any other alternatives.
So, when the issue came up, Trump said that Congress should pass a law about the issue, so that it would solve the separation problem. Even though the Trump policy was being portrayed as the same as Nazi Germany, Democrats said no to that, saying that Trump should just fix it with his pen instead of a legislative solution. So, now Trump has passed an executive order saying that detainees with children can now be detained with their kids.
But, that's not good enough for Democrats either, who now say that that policy is inhumane too. But, they still won't work on a legislative solution.
What's going to happen now, is that the new rule passed by Trump will be challenged in court. We'll see what happens with those challenges.
However, it's unclear what the Democrats want. Do they want a system where a person who crosses the border illegally without a child with them is put in detention, but if that person brings a child with them, then they cannot be detained? They just have to be let go into the general population, on the hope that they will return for a hearing? Or, do they just want no detentions of any illegal aliens crossing the border?
