Trump's Second Term

Presidents' commencement speeches to West Point graduates:

Barack Obama: "American influence is always stronger when we lead by example. We can’t exempt ourselves from the rules that apply to everybody else."

Joe Biden: "Ideas need defenders to make them real. That’s what you are all about. You must keep us free at this time like none before.”

Donald Trump: "A lot of trophy wives doesn’t work"

Pathetic deranged stumblebum draft-dodging felon!

Him, not you.
 
This is the story of a town that was heavily all-in for Schitler, but when a woman that had lived among them for many years and who they liked got kidnapped by ICE, now they're all sorry too late.

'Bring Carol home:' ICE snatches rural Missouri mom at immigration check-in

I'm not going to quote from it; it's a very long story. But I urge you to read it. To me, it's a story of people who were all-in for Schitler, and were fine with hurting other people, but not their friend.

I hope she does come back. But as for them, they can all go ◊◊◊◊ themselves. They did this to her. It's not Schitler who did this, it's all the stupid ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ who voted for him, and all the other stupid ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ who didn't vote. They gave him the power.

Thanks for reading this.

I know many of them are trying to help her. But I get the impression that if she didn't exist, and this hadn't happened in their town, they'd be just fine with what Schitler is doing. "You can ◊◊◊◊ immigrants over, but not in my backyard!"

Thanks to people like like these, we can't have nice things, like a clean environment, affordable medical care, due process, vaccines, dissent, rule of law, science . . . so yeah, they can ◊◊◊◊ their faces. Hard.
 
He's really into stealth. We could pull off that invisible F-35 in the parade plan.

WTF Jake Tapper thinks this is normal Trump: “Totally stealth planes. I hope they're stealth. I don't know, the whole stealth thing—I'm sort of wondering. We shape a wing this way, they don’t see it but the other way they see it? I’m not so sure. That’s what they tell me”

Sigh. There is practically no evidence Barron even applied to Harvard, let alone was rejected.

Fact Check: Trump's son Barron was rejected by Harvard.

The claim that Barron Trump was rejected by Harvard is demonstrably false. Multiple sources confirm that Barron Trump never even applied to Harvard [1] [2]...

Unpacking claim Barron Trump was rejected from Harvard, Columbia, Stanford

Claims about Barron Trump being rejected from various universities spread amid his father's threats to withhold federal funding from the institutions.

I dislike it when a site that's supposed to be dedicated to skeptical thinking approves of nonsense without fact-checking it first. That goes for Andy Ross, who posted it, and the five who liked it.
 
As of the close of the day on May 24, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -707.

This is in line with what his Administration was doing with the EPA during his last term, so it's utterly unsurprising that his Administration is doing much the same again, just amplified.

It shows that he really doesn't understand what USAID was really for. US farmers got subsidized as the government bought up food they couldn't otherwise sell, US suppliers of other items used for aid likewise got a chunk of taxpayer money and the countries that received the aid were, if not necessarily grateful, more inclined to side with the USA over global political rivals. The last thing any US President should want is another country replacing USAID.

Should, certainly. Trump is not the usual kind of President, though, even of the Republican variety, in how brazenly he works to sabotage the US.

One of the longstanding differences between self-proclaimed liberals and conservatives is in the reach of their empathy. Not the total amount on average, but rather where it goes. With liberals, it normally applies broadly. With Conservatives, it tends to stay much, much closer to home.
