The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 2)

And of course those who were among the first to arrive would have claimed they were refugees from freedom of religion! :wink:

I agree is it pointless to differentiate in this case, and re Trump. Their status as PR pawns was their only - temporary - status and value to him.

Trump aside, though, it is important not to conflate immigrant with refugee. Something the right here in the UK is adept at actively NOT doing!

Analogous to the status of newborn infants compared to fetuses.

I wouldn’t bet on it. Few things are as 'bipartisan" as the military-industrial-political complex.

  • Live Comfortably

  • Soho Apparel Group
  • Foodservices Brand Group
  • Lawn & Garden LLC

Afaict Instant Pot is the only one of these brands that has any significant international presence. Trump is not a “divisive” issue with 50% support anywhere else, so I really hope this gets publicised widely and they lose the entirety of their international sales.

That 10,000 at Krasnov’s parade is “per Newsmax”, so I’m dubious that it was that many.

Such a deal. Give Trump your money and get both maga and the Chinese spying on you for free!

That bums me out because I love my instant pot. Hope it lasts because idk what to replace it with. Breville makes one but it’s expensive as hell.

He’ll never pay the manufacturer. So it’ll be bricked eventually.

Odd how an organisation set up to protect borders is so obviously part of the ‘military-industrial complex’ in the USA. Customs and immigration in many other places is a much more ‘civilian’ operation.

a $47.45-per-month plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data, as well as roadside assistance

Yeah, roadside assistance will be a great help when my phone needs some repair. /s

Trump roadside assistance for vehicles will involve waiting by the roadside for hours and then organising your own tow, because Trump Inc will have stiffed the roadside assistance contractors so they won’t come out until the unpaid invoices are settled.

Signs to police ‘negative’ history went up at Manzanar. Historians are nervous.

I’ll bet their uniforms will already be replete with service ribbons, like the studio exec (ETA:) in Barton Fink who suddenly becomes a (well-decorated) colonel in the Army Reserve.
