The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 2)

Don’t you have room in your heart for Stephen Miller as well?

So as a gift to the government it requires congressional approval, and as a gift to the president as an individual it requires congressional approval. I’m assuming that, should it be approved, they’d have to specify whether they’re accepting it as a gift to the government or for Trump himself?

Certainly no one in Trump’s orbit, that he’d be aware of, would be remotely qualified. Which is part of why Trump’s whole anti-DEI crusade is a really excellent argument for DEI. If DEI is qualified women/people of color in positions, and not-DEI is wildly unqualified white dudes that Trump knows replacing them, it makes it pretty obvious why DEI is there, and why we need it.

I know from up close and personal experience that no one goes for a MLS with the intent of earning the big bucks. It’s a thing you do only because you wish to be a benefit to your community, so no, I can’t even remotely imagine a trump supporter finishing one.

Holy shit. For anyone who doesn’t know who that is, his uncle is Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks. Hasan used to be on that as well but left to do his own thing on Twitch, and unlike his uncle, is an actual leftist.

So much luggage for “refugees”… :thinking:

White South Africans Granted Refugee Status by Trump Arrive in the U.S.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/us/politics/white-south-africans-refugees.html

The new refugee program for South Africans, which the State Department says is for any racial minority in the country, has exacerbated tensions between the United States and South Africa. The South African government has rejected the Trump administration’s claim that the Afrikaners should be eligible for refugee status.

Three decades after the end of apartheid, white South Africans continue to dominate land ownership. They are also employed at much higher rates than Black South Africans and suffer from poverty at much lower rates.

“It is most regrettable that it appears that the resettlement of South Africans to the United States under the guise of being ‘refugees’ is entirely politically motivated and designed to question South Africa’s constitutional democracy,” Chrispin Phiri, a spokesman for South Africa’s Foreign Ministry, said in a statement.

That she’s very happy is belied by every single time she’s ever been seen or heard, so I assume the rest is some kind of lie too.

She didn’t say anything about not being homicidal and manic I noticed though.

Aha. Beyond basic ideology, I was wondering why they cared.

Maybe she’s afraid of being murdered and her mysterious enemies would make it look like suicide.
