Hillary’s emails were covered for 600 days, and …

Melissa McEwan of Shakesville has a post about the nasty guy’s continued war on immigrants. This post describes five aspects of that war.

* The Citizenship and Immigration Services is up and running to identify naturalized citizens suspected of fraudulently applying for citizenship with the intention of revoking that citizenship.

* The Army is discharging immigrants who signed up both because they love America and because the Army was offering a path to citizenship.

* The nasty guy’s administration is in a “chaotic scramble” to reunite immigrant children who had been taken from their parents in an attempt to comply with a court order. McEwan adds:

It's a pretty pointed commentary on the fact that the Trump Regime never, ever, had any intention of reuniting families. And, to be frank, probably still doesn't. I highly doubt they are "scrambling." More like biding their time, waiting for some other atrocity to divert attention away from this one.

* The nasty guy will likely again lower the limit of the number of refugees allowed in the country next year. It will likely be less than a quarter than what it was in Obama’s last year.

* Yeah, some children have been reunited with their parents – in detention centers. Where conditions are awful. McEwan added a comment to this aspect, though I think her words apply to the whole post:

Again, this deserves sustained media attention, all day every day. I recall the political press covering Hillary Clinton's fucking email virtually every single day for 600 consecutive days, and I wonder where is that dedicated, tenacious energy when it comes to the horrors being perpetrated at the southern border.

Yes, there were lots of protests held last Saturday about the treatment of immigrants. Here are some pictures.



A phrase about civility has been circulating. I saw it on a post about how the nasty guy insulted Rep. Maxine Waters and Sen. Elizabeth Warren with some quite derogatory language. The phrase:

Trump supporters are afraid they will treated the way they treat minorities.

And so they demand civility from us.



The Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan report that agreed with the intelligence community that (as Caroline O. summarizes and McEwan explains)…

“1) Russia interfered; 2) Putin approved it; & 3) The goal was to sow chaos & help Trump's election chances." Because if the Republicans are the Senate Intelligence Committee are finally ready to concede what we all knew a year and a half ago, that means they no longer fear any consequences for their party or their president.

And for something fun. Dublin Bus arranged to have some dads pick up their LGBTQ children and take them to the Dublin Pride festivities. The youth didn’t know Dad was coming – or what he would be wearing. This is so wonderful for many of us who discovered coming out meant rejection.
