Look, I'm all about taking care of vets, and there's no bitch from me.  But at the same time, isn't this something the right mocks?  I don't recall any GOP congressional member ever claiming that student debt held by veterans should be cancelled.  If someone has a link to a previously held GOP position for this, I'm all ears.

Bless your heart.  By tomorrow morning this will be a major talking point on the right, with everyone clamoring to praise Trump for doing what they have been asking for for years.

Those are a little more vague.  14A is pretty damn clear -- if you're born here, you're a citizen.  There is no mechanism save martial law to overrule such a simple and clearcut directive.

We should probably all realize that Stephen Miller knows that and is working to do whatever he can to undo it,  the martial law step included.

If you believe for even a second they do not have a plan to do some more heinously evil shit to brown skinned people you are not paying enough attention. Dotard has no interest in the rule of law. He is making it up as he goes along, disastrous consequences be damned.

Theres a rising anti israel movement on the left..
If I was jewish not sure if I could continue to support a party that openly welcomes anti semites.

I find it similar to catholics and dems in regards to abortion

But you have no problem supporting a party that welcomes rapists and child molesters.

Far be it for me to defend Trump, but the MOH comment was obviously a joke when you see the video. And it wasn’t a “joke” like some of the horrifying things he’s said that get backtracked. It was a legitimate joke delivered as such.

Unless I’m totally misreading the tweet about it (which I’m not) that suggests that it was a serous comment, that tweet is pretty dishonest. Telling lies about Trump, which is essentially what the tweet did,  only muddies the water of what’s true and what isn’t, giving more cover for Trump’s incessant dishonesty. It’s no more legitimate than the stunts Breitbart pulls.

“The people that were so badly injured that I was with, they love our country. And frankly, do you want to know the truth? They love their president. And nobody wrote that. Nobody wrote that. Because you didn’t write the truth. New York Times doesn’t like to write the truth. They totally love our country and they do love our president. So when I went to Dayton, when I went to El Paso, and when I went into those hospitals, the love for me, and me maybe as a representative of the country, but for me, and my love for them, was unparalleled. If you read the papers, it was like nobody would meet with me. Not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the rooms. The doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor, you couldn’t even walk on it.”

Still searching for that bottom.

How very socialistic of the President.

It was something his administration (Devos) was fighting against while Congress and the state AG's were fighting for this the entire time. Trump is just agreeing not to cock block disabled vets anymore.

As usual he is finally deciding to stop pouring gasoline on a fire he started and declaring himself a hero.

 

Quote

The attorneys general of 51 states and territories on Friday asked Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to stop requiring that disabled veterans fill out paperwork to become eligible for federal student loan forgiveness. Instead, they want DeVos to exercise her power to automatically cancel the debt.

Veterans who are “totally and permanently” disabled are entitled under federal law to have their student loans canceled, but the Trump administration’s current process for doing so is “inadequate,” the bipartisan group of attorneys general wrote in a letterto DeVos.

I know literally dozens and dozens of Jews who do exactly that.
One can criticize the actions of a state and not hate the people in it.
Well, I mean...you can do that if you’re not a drooling simpleton, so I get the GOP confusion.

well you know Israel is a democracy with very right wing population, becoming more right wing as time passes. If not blame the enthusiasm of the population for Israeli actions, then whom to blame? Netanyahu and crowd simply mirror what Israeli Jews want.  In fact, it can be argued that Bibi isn't as right wing as his voters, which is a scary thought.

Next thing you know, some dumbass Trump bootlicker in the Senate will take the fall for the “buying Greenland” plan by saying it was his idea.

No, Trump probably really thinks it's a good idea, so he wouldn't like if someone else tried to take credit for it.

It’s Tom Cotton.

Cotton said Wednesday that Greenland's mineral reserves could make it valuable strategically to the U.S. He added that Greenland has great economic potential and that the island is “vital to our national security.”

“Anyone who can’t see that is blinded by Trump derangement,” he said.

Yeah, and controlling the Port of Shanghai would also be great BUT THAT DOESN'T FUCKING MEAN IT'S A REALISTIC IDEA. 

There has been a lot of stupid in the last 3 years, but this Greenland shit has been by far the dumbest.  I genuinely cannot believe this is an actual discussion point.  Fuck everyone involved, and double fuck the people like Tom Cotton who absolutely know better but are trying to turn this into some sort of partisan issue.

I propose we go buy Canada (they're our 51st state anyway, right?) and the Congo (it's poorly managed). I hear they've both got lots of mineral resources too.

So now he's actively lobbying for negative yield bonds, and he's asking the Federal Reserve to issue those bonds?  

Somebody wanna tell him or should we just let him figure it out?  The Central Bank doesn't decide what kinds of bonds to sell, the problem is they buy them.

I'm not convinced that Tom Cotton knows his ass from a hole in the ground.

If the island is "vital to our national security,"  it would seem that a good strategy would NOT be to piss off the people who own it.

Shes a terrorist sympathizer, mocks the way Americans pronounce al Qaeda and wont say Aq flew planes into the WTC, according to her it was "some people", ya bitch some people flew planes into building killing over 3000 Americans

Fuck her

Two posts negged for willful distortion of facts.

Disposition towards Israel does not equal disposition toward the Jewish people. You know that, but you hope to divide and distort.

Your distortion of the Congresswoman's words is of the same vile xenophobic/anti-democratic origins as your other spewings.

You should join Herr Miller in the White House putting the scissors to butterfly wings and planning the New Order.

Deny, deflect, deceive. That's all they've got.

Guys like Kubrick and the dead milkmen weren’t so much prophets as people who clearly recognized what was going on a long time before everyone else did and therefore in hindsight look like prophets. 

Don't leave out these two brilliant works of where we were headed:

And this one for the casual chaos and totalitarianism.

As trump gets more desperate, I expect him to make more public overtures to Putin in hopes daddy still has his back come election time.

Attacking Germany, NATO, Denmark, and asking Russia back into the G7 are ways for Trump to dance for Daddy.

I'm in one of those places right now where I'm legitimately scared society is going to fall apart or Trump will accidentally start a nuclear war. I live a few miles from the Pentagon. It feels like when I was kid in the 80s with cold war hysteria still pretty strong and  lyng in ber thinking about a nuclear attack. We lived in Abilene where they had the B1 bombers, then solely used for nukes. I don't like feeling this way.

If fear motivates people to vote hopefully this fear will get people to vote Trump out of office. We need some "Daisy" ads this cycle.
