It wasn't mentioned at all on FAUX News today. Not. At. All.

All the militiamen will be heading home if they're not going to get any camera time.

They're probably rolling the stupid razor wire back up as we speak.

3. AG Whitaker's 1st act; US proposes rule banning asylum for illegal migrants

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46147137

Migrants who cross the southern US border illegally will no longer be eligible for asylum under a new rule, the Trump administration has said.

<snip>

What is the new rule?

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Homeland Security chief Kirstjen Nielsen announced what is known as the Interim Final Rule on Thursday.
The joint statement said presidents have the power to "suspend the entry of all aliens" and to impose "any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate on them" if they are judged to be "detrimental" to US interests under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

<snip>

The American Civil Liberties Union, a group that defends individual rights, declared the move "illegal".
"US law specifically allows individuals to apply for asylum whether or not they are at a port of entry," it said.




This was proposed on Thursday Nov. 8, 2018. The new rule was, no doubt, already planned for immediate implementation directly after sacking Sessions.

I hope that the ACLU can go to court and get a judge to rule against this asylum ban.

While we were worrying about Mueller, the bastards got right to work on their evil and racist agenda.

Apparently, she spends little time at the WH. Her only true concern is her son, who is attending a private school in the DC area.

It is so exhausting trying to keep up with the evil acts of the Trump misadministration.

Hitler's Luftwaffe boss knew from the beginning how it's done, and the Republicans have studied their role models closely:

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

It's no less true now than it was 80 years ago.

election cheating, and the last mass shooting.

It's important not to forget the last crap the big orange scumball was shoving down our throats before the new trainwrecks.

Thanks.

And so it has now dwindled back to the importance it had all along, which is to say, hardly any.

What the Republicans had made out to be the second bombing of Pearl Harbor turned out to be less drastic than a moose crossing into the US from Manitoba.

It said that Republicans should vote for Democratic candidates because when the election was over, there would be no more talk about the invasion but they'd still have their diabetes.

Now, THAT is to the point.

14. Has there been a single week, or even day without new shiny objects??
Fri Nov 9, 2018, 05:51 AM
Nov 2018

This shit’s been going on for 2 years now.

Every day a new shiny object outrage to chase..
Going into 2016, 22 women accused trump of everything from sexual harassment to sexual assault on a juvenile. Was supposed to be a big investigation into it after the election...
Every single person in his administration that’s been either run off or quit due to one scandal or another... outrage for a day or 2 then on to the next.
Roy Moore Should have been in almost every political ad imo.. Who was he again? Crickets.
So many mass shootings, so many fucked up things Orange Hitler has said about them that I don’t even KNOW where to begin.

Really, there’s so many outrages, fucked up things said by the shitgibbon, sleazy ass shit he pulls, slanderous and libelous tweets from him, and disasterous policies coming out of his administration I’m often left feeling like i’ve developed a case of outrage ADHD.

REALLY hoping our new house goes back to the beginning and opens the investigations Orange Hitler promised.. starting with the sexual assault allegations made during the campaign season.. After all, we’d just be making good on a Rumpus campaign promise.. and they swear he keeps those, right?

Don't worry. Putin's Puppet's state media, Fox Networks has declared the "Caravan" of women and children has been defeated by DEER LEEDER. Fox Networks says DEER LEEDER saved US and claims victory over the invasion. Additionally, y'all are not to make reference to it. And nothing else will be heard of it again.

What a sham! Republican'Ts have swallowed the whole enchilada of fear and hate served by Don The Con. Home of the brave?! Oh save US. Only Kadet Bone-Spur can save US. Joke!!

When referring to the President, I will always capitalize _Obama_.
