Trump

[Sara Nilsson]

In one initiative examined earlier this year, Department of Homeland Security officials looked at housing migrant children at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, which has a dormitory facility that has been used in the past to hold asylum seekers. The proposal to house migrant children from the Southwest border there has not gained traction, perhaps because of the optics of housing young people adjacent to terrorism suspects, according to one official who had seen the proposal but was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

    While there were no “immediate” plans to house migrant children at Guantánamo Bay, the Defense Department is attempting to identify military bases that might be used for that purpose, a department spokesman, Tom Crosson, said on Monday.

Meanwhile, authorities are struggling to identify new locations where migrants can be held in detention. The military awarded a $23 million contract in February to build a “contingency mass migration complex” at Guantánamo, a plan that would expand the existing facility to house 13,000 migrants and 5,000 support staff in tents. That project appears intended primarily to accommodate a crush of migrants that might accompany a new crisis in the Caribbean, though it could theoretically be used to house Central Americans.

It is Trump doctrine that terrorists pretend to be refugees to sneak into the country. So clearly, all refugees must be terrorists?

Watching a late night news programme here in Britain, it appears that, even thoughTrump is having an official State visit to this country, he won't be staying in Buckingham Palace, as would be normal, as the guest accommodation is being refurbished, so he will instead be in Wingfield House, which is the US Ambassador's residence. I imagine the Queen rushing about to organise some decorators - "No, no need to start until June".

Also, there has been a debate about whether he should address the House of Parliament. However, Tom Newton-Dunn of the Sun, who has crossed swords with Trump before, has stated that he believes Trump has no interest in doing so, and plans to give a speech to American service personnel, just before D-Day, for the domestic audience.

There are protests planned for his visit, but I am torn, as I am sure others are, between respect for the institution of the presidency of our most important ally and contempt for the man.

Trump has no respect for the office himself, so it shouldn't have to be on your mind, either.

Mechelle, hopefully you made the right decision and boycotted! 60% of Americans would cheer you on if you snubbed this guy.

And what happened to his "love affair" with Kim Jong Un? Looks like his "lover" is two-timing him with old Vlad!

Oh please, both of them are but the pets of Putin, he just enjoys pitting them against one another.....aannd I just gave myself a horrible mental image. >_<

*chuckles* You know that it's somewhere on the internet though.

The footage on the tv news when he and Kim met (in Vietnam, I think?), these two somewhat paunchy men walking towards each other in front of a line of US and NK flags, and finally coming so close that their bellies seemed to bump into each other - that was rather funny to watch. :)

Trump does look like he had stepped out of that video (look at 2:24!) - and it's as timely now as it would have been then. Somebody with brains and a sense of music should record an updated cover of that song (by the way, contrary to rumour, all the most distinctive things about the song itself were there already on demo stage, long before they were picked up by Trevor Horn)

I don't need to deliberately snub him, Kurogane, as, fortunately, he is not coming anywhere near me. Last year, I happened to be leaving the country just as he was arriving, but that was just a coincidence, even if I may have tried to imply otherwise at the time!

Also, I heard there were some cultural differences which could have been foreseen when Kim met Putin. Kim presented Putin with a sword, though, in Russia, a sharp object is not seen as a suitable gift, and was not impressed himself when he was presented with a coin. I am relying on the media being accurate, I should add.

[Lustful Bride]

So this happened. I am really not sure how to feel about it.

I guess the Chinese saw how much fun Putin had with his new Puppet, they want to see if they can play with it.

Trump, family sue banks to prevent financial documents from being given to Congress.

I felt it was ridiculously funny that Trump is planning to sue Deutsche Bank over their obeying a perfectly legal request for information - but can't say I'm surprised... :)

Now all you need to do is insert "Trump" to get the perfect comment on this by none other than Kraftwerk, almost forty years ago:

Interpol and Deutsche Bank,
Trump, FBI and Scotland Yard

That's a first class Kraftwerk reference.

That album was so prescient. :)

And now...Trump says Mueller and the Congress Democrats are (and have been)...stealing his presidency - by not accepting Trump's own dubious claim that Mueller had him "totally exonerated" on everything. Have you heard stuff like this before?

Little by little (or maybe quite blatantly), Trump is maneuvering to NOT leave office when he is voted out. This is a frightening thought. He continues to attack the press, lie to the American people every time he opens his mouth, and target the "angry Democrats" for looking into his nefarious affairs. Another ploy is his increasing provocations towards Iran and China. Start another war which may "force" him to stay in office to see the job done.

Isn't the electoral college already responsible for doing this to get him in power in the first place?

Remember that poll the summer after the election where about half of Republicans supported 'postponing' the election if Trump wanted to? The party of law and order, people.

Has anyone seen the thing about him wanting to extend his term by two years as 'reparations' for all this 'Presidential Harassment'?
