This is how our constitution starts:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
They weren't thinking about slaves, native Americans, women, or people outside our borders who wanted to come to the United States. The US constitution is expressly for maintaining the freedom of Americans and their children. Not the rest of the world. Today, freedom for Americans ultimately means freeing yourself from the yoke of media mind control, and that's what Melania Trump did. Perhaps, there was a motivated retort for all the mindless speculation about her health after her kidney issues--without much well wishing from the media.
Schrödinger’s CoatThe Art of Melania Trump’s Green JacketMelania, that jacket!I was all-in with John in his all-out defense of Melania Trump until -- the jacket. Photographers caught our elegant first lady wearing a $39 jacket from the clothing store Zara. It is weird enough that she shopped at Zara -- this is a woman who toured Sicily with the G-7 spouses in a $51,500 Dolce and Gabbana jacket last year -- but it was way weirder to read the words on the back of that Zara fashion find: "I really don't care. Do u?"
The Trumps are media geniuses. They are at least a step ahead, but probably a totally different game from the old school DNC/media nexus.
If that's true, then Donald Trump must be mistaken. He tweeted that his wife's jacket "refers to the Fake News Media."
Ha. The point is that they control the conversation, not you--among other things. They don't care about your lame attempts at emotionalism, because they've already hit back with their "pink star moms" and made fools of you.
As for Melania Trump, she is proving to be the next best counterpuncher in the White House. Instead of admitting wearing such a jacket was a silly mistake, she doubled down, wearing the jacket again as she deplaned at Andrews Air Force Base.
There is not a problem with wearing a jacket, and there is simply no reason for the media to be manufacturing all these pointless controversies.

Hrmm... for one who

You champion recreational drug use. Does Rodman use the wrong drug, or is he "weak" because he has become addicted?

He's MLK Jr.'s son. To say he isn't steeped in the civil rights legacy of his father is somewhat ungenerous. Again, you are attacking someone's mental health, while chemically reducing your own brain function for recreational purposes--which seems to have the side effect that you purport to find virtually everything hysterically funny.

That's part of the point of keeping illegal aliens out of the country. It undermines poor blacks from making a better living by undercutting day labor wages among other things.

Trump is reviewing that as well.

I cannot imaging anyone doing that. It is beyond comprehension.
It's novel, which alone makes it newsworthy.
Drlee wrote:It proves that he is playing to a monumentally stupid demographic. People so classless and mentally deficient that they cannot understand how pathological this is.
You just said you cannot imagine someone doing that, so it is not compulsive or habitual in any way. Now you are proving Charles Murray's point in that you are conflating IQ and economic class; although, I'm sure you deride Charles Murray's work.
Drlee wrote:This is tantamount to the NRA president signing pictures of mass shooting victims.
Not really.
Drlee wrote:I am really concerned. Where is the edge? When does someone go so far that they can no longer be trusted with even the most mundane things not to mention a nuclear arsenal so powerful that it could blast us back into the stone age.
Maybe you should ask jimjam, who seems to think the entire world hangs in the balance as well. Meanwhile, Trump is busy denuclearizing North Korea--something three douchebags that preceded him in the White House proved incapable of doing.
Drlee wrote:I despair for my republican party. I guess I have no frame of reference for elected officials so damaged that they could stand by and let something like this happen without action. Although I am a lifelong republican I hope we are dealt a massive defeat in 2018. That is the only thing that can move us back to some form of accountability in government. It will not happen though. There are simply too many unintelligent people who support this kind of disgusting behavior.
This is why people don't take your claims of high IQ very seriously. Signing photos of victims of illegal aliens has virtually no policy implications whatsoever, but has you hoping for the political defeat of people who have nothing to do with what Trump is doing. Why don't you just admit that you are partial to Democrats and quit with the "I'm a Republican" concern trolling? It's fooling virtually nobody and makes you seem both stupid and diabolical.
Instinctive or Strategic Genius? Either Way, Trump Outsmarts Them Again!Rush Limbaugh wrote:I don’t know if he’s (Trump) that many steps down the board or not. But I know that his instincts are practically infallible here. He has turned these people inside out, upside down. He has forced them, made them, caused them — his enemies — to expose their hypocrisy, to expose their lies, and to expose the fact that they’re dishonest when reporting so-called news. For starters, ladies and gentlemen, I predicted the press would say that Trump caved, that they would begin to take credit for it, that they indeed had put so much pressure on Trump that finally they had made him cave.
Trump is so far ahead of the DNC-Media. You have to remember that he is the POTUS, and that means he can use the NSA to intercept their collusions. He can spy on them, just like Obama spied on the Trump campaign. He's just not trying to create phony reasons to try to prosecute people, like the establishment.
Rush Limbaugh wrote:Anyway, he was the first to figure it out. (laughing) They realized that this only meant one thing, that Trump was gonna keep families detained, if we’re gonna keep ’em together, they’re gonna stay detained, quote-unquote, “behind bars.” What the left has been looking for here all along is catch-and-release. That’s what they want to return to. They thought Trump caving meant that his executive order was gonna be, “We no longer detain children,” and since we can’t separate families, if we’re gonna detain the children, we can’t deign the adults.
Therefore nobody’s detained, thereby everybody is free to roam America and get lost. (laughing) Well, that’s not what the executive order says. And then I predicted that there would be a court challenge to this before the next day — today — arrived. And I predicted that the court challenge would be on the fact that Trump had usurped his executive authority, that he cannot trump (no pun intended) existing law as written by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the Flores decision, which the media never talked about during any of this.
See? Brilliant. Trump will claim, "I tried to put families back together, but the Ninth Circuit is hell bent on destroying families." He's way ahead of the game here. All the BS by people like Godstud will be completely blown out of the water. The Ninth Circuit can uphold their prior ruling, or try to modify it in some way. Ultimately, arrestees are separated from their children, and that's going to prevail. Trump will just blame it on the courts--particularly the most liberal court in the United States. The Flores decision came down as collusion betweeen the courts and the Obama administration. That's not going to happen with Trump in the White House. Trump isn't separating children from their parents. The Ninth Circuit is mandating this policy. Trump should agree to pardon the detainees if they return to their home country.
Godstud wrote:People who support Trump not only lack intelligence, but also scruples.
Yeah. I haven't been able to find my scruples. I think my Hispanic maid must have put them away somewhere.
Conscript wrote:Separation of families a byproduct of enforcing the law because of a court settlement that predates the Trump administration, and is itself a product of Obama detaining the whole family and being brought to court over it in 2015. Separation happens as a result of the settlement whenever you insist on detaining the adults, prosecuted or not.
Yep. And Congress is unlikely to act either. So Trump is being tough, because he has no choice.
Stormsmith wrote:I agree with the money is Trump's motivator portion, but his increasingly reckless behaviour, complete with all his poor decision-making makes me think he's gone bonkers now and this is driven by fear of Robert Mueller.
It's all Robert Mueller's fault. He is putting people in jail without being convicted of a crime. Manafort has been separated from his family, and he hasn't even been convicted and he's an American citizen. It's just terrible.

His decree is intended to fail. He's keeping the families together, and the court is ripping them apart. It's not his fault. He's just enforcing the law.
Drlee wrote:Fact: Of those over 15 a third have US born children who are citizens.
Because of another horseshit ruling by the US Supreme Court using the 14th Amendment to read virtually anything into its text, creating "anchor babies" in the process, which notwithstanding is another adverse effect of using the courts to make social policy because we can deport the parents but not the children.
