Fred, that's the one I read up on too.
By it's ok. I wouldn't put it past some to report just for revenge or whatever, so I'm going to refrain from posting anything.

I took metaphysics (from the Basilians though). I earned a B in the course. But I have no idea what I was supposed to be learning, nothing ever "clicked" in my head. (since I never took Metaphysics) Here’s the whole semester: You think; therefore, you iz. But I suspect you already knew that.

NPR...
“Job growth has been remarkably consistent since the end of the recession in 2010.
The 3.6 million jobs added in the 19 months since Trump took office are roughly comparable to the 3.9 million added in the previous 19 months under Obama.”
Well that’s not the story the GOP wants you to believe. They want you to believe some miracle happened to the economy once trump took office.

Okay, this quote I have to post
“Trump later told his attorney that he felt shaken down by Comey with the presentation about the alleged prostitutes in Moscow. “I’ve got enough problems with Melania and girlfriends and all that. I don’t need any more. I can’t have Melania hearing about that.”
Excerpt From Fear: Trump in the White House Bob Woodward

So last night we learned that DHS deverted roughly $10M from FEMA to ICE.
But it gets even better. Tonight we learned that DHS deverted roughly $29M from the Coast Guard to ICE.
I don’t think I have to tell you the importance of the Coast Guard all the time but especially during hurricane season.
Just when I think I can’t get any more disgusted with the shit trump & company are doing, they prove me wrong.

All that money is being deverted because of this trump made catastrophe.
Raises...(non profit legal aid for immigrants)
“Population levels at federally contracted shelters for migrant children have quietly shot up more than fivefold since last summer, according to data obtained by @nytimes, reaching a total of 12,800 this month. There were 2,400 kids in custody in May ‘17.”

The GOP can’t find a replacement for Sessions when Trump fires him after midterms because no one wants the job! If this article is legitimate (and I have no reason to disbelieve it), it’s hilarious. And they’re also worried about who would replace Mattis! The pool is getting smaller and smaller. (Source: Politico link) Excerpts: The possible axing of Jeff Sessions is giving Republican senators a migraine. Senate Republicans are in a jam when it comes to Jeff Sessions. While resigned to President Donald Trump firing the attorney general after the midterm elections, they suspect that perhaps only a sitting senator could win confirmation as Sessions’ successor — that is, someone they could trust not to interfere with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. But no one from their ranks seems to want the job. ...[Sen Graham] said it’s not going to be him, despite private belief among his colleagues he’s eyeing the job. Asked about Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas, a fellow Senate lawyer who was considered as FBI director, Graham said: “He’d be great if he wanted to do it.” No dice, said Cornyn. And Mike Lee (R-Utah), who some Republicans think might be interested in the job, is “very happy” in his current role as senator, a spokesman said. With few obvious potential applicants for a job that seems to come with built-in clashes with the president, some senators even suggest Trump might have to nominate a Democrat to have any hope of getting a new attorney general confirmed. “Trump may very well want a change,” said retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). “If I was the president, I’d even consider picking a Democrat if I thought I couldn’t get anybody else through.” One Republican senator said a senator nominated as attorney general would have to have a squeaky clean record of praise for Trump and estimated that perhaps only four members of the Senate would qualify, calling it a “pretty small universe” of candidates.Asked this month whether he was confident he could confirm a Sessions successor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell instead defended the attorney general and said he hopes he sticks around. The problem for the White House extends beyond filling the top job at the Justice Department. Trump has for months been mulling the prospect of replacing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who is now expected to be dismissed or to resign after the midterm elections, too.

Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Then the president’d have his pick of Conquest, War, Famine or Death as our chief lawyer.

It's not just FEMA: ICE quietly got an extra $200 millionBy Tal Kopan, CNN Updated 7:16 PM ET, Wed September 12, 2018 Washington (CNN)As a potentially catastrophic hurricane bears down on the East Coast of the US, the shifting of $10 million from FEMA's operating budget to fund immigration detention and deportations is drawing condemnation from Democrats. But that's a drop in the bucket. The Trump administration this summer quietly redirected $200 million from all over the Department of Homeland Security to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, despite repeated congressional warnings of ICE's "lack of fiscal discipline" and "unsustainable" spending. The Department of Homeland Security asked for the money, according to a document made public this week by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley. Of the $200 million, the document says $93 million will go to immigrant detention, a 3% budget increase that will fund capacity for an additional 2,300 detainees; and $107 million for "transportation and removal," or deportations, a 29% budget increase. ** In addition to this summer's widely condemned move to separate families at the border, the administration has drawn criticism for arresting a far greater rate of noncriminal undocumented immigrants and seeking to detain them much longer. On Tuesday, the administration announced it would tripling the size of an emergency temporary tent facility to house more immigrant children. The additional $200 million would put ICE's budget for detention and transportation at more than $3.6 billion. The money came from different parts of DHS, including FEMA, the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office, Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers, Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, cybersecurity office and Customs and Border Protection. ** "ICE continues to spend at an unsustainable rate," the Senate Appropriations Committee report accompanying its proposal for Homeland Security next fiscal year says. "In light of the Committee's persistent and growing concerns about ICE's lack of fiscal discipline, whether real or manufactured, and its inability to manage detention resources within the appropriations made by law without the threat of anti-deficiency, the Committee strongly discourages transfer or reprogramming requests to cover ICE's excesses." Small says that her group is "on the Hill screaming about this" to encourage Congress to break the pattern. "These are real shenanigans that need to be reined in, not just from a good governance standpoint but also from the standpoint that these are other accounts that need the money," Small said. ** More at link: Lots more! www.cnn.com/2018/09/12/politics/ice-more-money-fema-dhs/index.htmlIt all just seems to be wrong..... Congress supposedly is not happy, but do nothing about it........

Isn't Congress responsible for the appropriation of money? Can DHS even reappropriate that much money between budgets? Yes and yes. I am guessing here because I’m to lazy to look it up. If FEMA and the Coast Guard are part of Homeland Security along with ICE then it’s a simple matter of moving funds from one department in Homeland Security to another department in Homeland Security. If that is what is happening then I’m not sure how much oversight Congress would have.
