Racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and probably some other isms and phobias, hurt us all.

It’s their standard operating procedure. I see it as justification for their bigotry, and some of their voters will agree with his decision.
For them, it’s not stupid if it works.

Right. I refuse to proceed with a zero sum mindset: Two things can be true: He may be genuinely against the bill and, for me, he’s ruined his reputation.

Too manipulative, I’d say.

No self-aware trump voter said mea culpa, eh?
Guess that would be expecting too much.

I’m a Californian and pulling for us, but I have to ask: How much of it is California rising and how much of it is Japan falling? Or, are both growing, but is California growing faster?

What’s sad is I know people for whom this quote should resonate strongly, and who came to this very country as refugees in the 1990s, and are, nevertheless, unmoved by what’s happening.

He was especially happy that 60 White South African refugees were immigrating.
This White House sure hates brown people.

Well, my doc has recommended I adopt a plant-based diet. Guess it’s time.

Wondering if Charles Schwab (“He made $2.5 million …”) and Roger Penske (“… and he made $900 million!”) have since consulted their lawyers? Wonder how they’ve been sleeping?

The behavior of these guys has been very sketchy. It definitely feels like Trump is manipulating the market.
comment in response to
post
I’m less certain about that this time.
The exemption was announced on Saturday, while the markets were closed. This screw up happened today, before the markets could open.
Or, did someone jump the gun on the temporary exemption message?

I’m perfectly fine with referring to them as the regime.

“Admin” means Trump, et al.

And now the judge in this issue is investigating whether to hold anyone in contempt for defying his order. I’m sure other potential violators are watching it closely.
comment in response to

Issuing injunctions is part of the process, and, given that his admin has challenged some of them, he isn’t ignoring all of them.

I wish a federal judge could say, “Government, if you refuse due process to these folks, you have no way of correcting the mistakes you’ve made, I have no choice but to issue an injunction against deporting people to locals outside of the jurisdiction of the United States.” Or something like that.

And he will probably go down in history as the man responsible for causing the most bankruptcies ever.

Sounds like a man who hasn’t had a good Irish hamburger.

The country is being run by a man with 7 bankruptcies in his pocket. Appears to be working on his 8th.

All he had to do was go play golf instead of working on his 8th bankruptcy.

Moreover, the guy at the top has had bad luck running businesses, with several bankruptcies in his past.

They kinda answered that in the report: They thought he would go after waste, fraud, and abuse. They believed his lies.

And we’ve lost whatever remaining goodwill we had. Went down with Bush and his war in Iraq (though, he had some good policies, such as those that addressed HIV), recovered somewhat with Obama, down with Trump 1.0, some recovery with Biden, down and Trump 2.0.

What I see is a guy being rude, a host shutting him down, and another guy seemingly nodding in agreement with your argument. Perhaps the host could apologize for her panel member’s behavior, but I see no reason here to drag CNN.

People don’t play when it comes to money they need to survive on. I don’t know who this guy is trying to convince.

Paragraph 18 reminds me of when Edgar Maddison Welch went to Comet Ping Pong, under the belief that children were being exploited. He had no facts that it was actually happening, just as this Russo guy who “busted” into the SSA office under the belief there was fraud had none, either. Just a belief.
