Really, this isn’t hard. I may scream if I read another major media story about ‘possible’ conflicts of interest in the Trump family. Yes, there are conflicts of interest. This isn’t a question. You cannot serve two masters. If you work for, say, both the federal government and a clothing company, those two entities cannot have the same interests in every situation. That’s what the...
Unexpected, sorta-good news.. . ALT_Immigration (@ALT_USCIS) is a Twitter site that comments on the US Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS). They’re fun to read. After Trump’s inauguration, his administration famously shut down the official National Park Service twitter feed for continuing to say things that were… well, true. That left a void. To fill it, lots of people set up a bunch of ALT accounts that began...
Don’t you hate reminders of what you said when you were a child? Back in December, 2015, way back when Candidate Donald Trump first started bragging about banning Muslims from the USA, the Washington Post wrote that Ryan, McConnell denounce Trump plan to bar Muslims from the U.S: Republicans on Capitol Hill strongly denounced a proposal from Donald Trump — their party’s frontrunner in the...
Why do we pretend Trump has a strategy? Trump hasn’t demonstrated any strategy beyond his own self-interest. Why do we insist on pretending there’s still a Trump Doctrine that he’s kept out of sight? If that’s true, he’s hidden it fantastically well. Trump is simply a big, greasy sack of publicity stunts and campaign applause lines. That’s it. Every action Trump takes contradicts what he’s...
I don’t know why we’re still surprised. On April 11th, President Trump tweeted: North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A. — Donald J. Trump, @realDonaldTrump, Apr 11, 2017 Later that same day, President Trump said more in an interview with Fox Business News. I don’t want to...
Trump Wins Again. Remember when Jeff Session was caught lying under oath during his confirmation hearing? Under no pressure, Sessions simply lied when he said he has no contacts with the Russian Ambassador. Completely unforced. Then Sessions went on the chat show circuit, trying to ‘explain’ himself, but every time he opened his mouth, he dug himself deeper. So Trump grabbed his last stupid tweet...
But was anyone outside South Korea listening? Vice President Mike Pence reassured South Korea that the United States fully stood behind the American commitment to defend South Korea from North Korean aggression. I’ve heard that South Korea officials were reassured by his speech, but who else really thinks Trump will hold to anything Pence says? Even Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has to double back...
Really, not racist at all. Interestingly, we get a lot of Russian kids working in the Washington DC area. They come over on J-1 visas to work here, work for minimum wages, and hopefully, see a bit of the real America. Everyone wins. The Washington Post reports that ICE immigration arrests of noncriminals double under Trump. The article says: Immigration arrests rose 32.6 percent in the...
