This is because of trump and what he advocates...
ACLU...
”Ramon Torres, a U.S. citizen, was detained for four days — despite carrying a U.S. passport, a driver’s license, and a Social Security card.
The sheriff’s office explained that they had a policy of detaining all Latinx people for immigration review.”
”A Louisiana Parish Jailed a U.S. Citizen for Being Latinx. We’re Suing.”
”Ramon Torres had been a U.S. citizen for nearly ten years when he was detained for four days on an immigration hold – despite having a U.S. passport, a Louisiana driver’s license, and a Social Security card, and despite that fact that a court ordered his release.
Torres’ ordeal began in August 2018, when he was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Torres, a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2009, was carrying multiple forms of identification, including his driver’s license and other security credentials. Torres was booked at the Ascension Parish Jail, and the next day the Parish Court ordered his release.
But Torres wasn’t released. Instead, the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office placed an “immigration hold” on Torres on the suspicion that he was unlawfully present in the United States.”
I’m not big on suing but if something like this happened to me I would sue their collective asses until there was nothing left. And then I would sue them again.

I hope his rule bites everyone of you in the ass. You deserve to reap what you have sown.

There's more..... And I heard, but cannot find his whole press thing today.... We, the US, are holding thousands of ISIS prisoners. dt, says he will release the ISIS prisoners into the countries where they come from, Germany, France etc, if they don't take them.
But he won't take back the young ISIS wife ........
How is he going to do that, fly them over Europe in Airforce One and parachute them down?

Just in case some of the peas are thinking, "well he was stopped and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and I really don't care what happens to people who drunk drive or drive high, and I am safe because I don't drink at all and I have never even considered trying a drug", I'd like to point out that you don't need to have done anything wrong at all to be stopped or even taken into custody for suspicion of driving under the influence. The officer just needs to be willing to say that he thought you might have possibly been driving under the influence. That is all. Just his word. What he is willing to say he might have thought. Yeah, the fact that the judge ordered his release the next morning and they still held onto him says a LOT. I wouldn’t put my money on his actually having been driving drunk.

According to a tweet from our president himself, he has a "94% Approval Rating within the Republican Party. Thank you!" This is why I will be actively working to promote any Democratic candidate for any office. I just can't trust that a GOP candidate is possibly part of his 6%. Guilty by association or simply too risky of a chance to take. Or I could assume that this is just another of his flat out lies. But not worth the risk. the Republican Party has become the party of the %2 they work for & protect the %2 and corporations at all costs. Trump is not the actual issue. I mean he sucks & all, but he isn’t the real threat.

If Seth Moulton had the kind of power to drop the Dow nearly 600 points he wouldn’t be dropping out of the race Do his base really believe this shit? The Dow is dropping due to the trade war - like everyone but Trump said it would.

He has lost whatever remaining shreds of his mind he still had. I actually think he's about to get much worse. When the economy really starts to tank, the law catches up, maybe impeachment proceedings begin, he's going to lose it.

Sorry if I missed this posted earlier: www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/08/23/business/powell-fed-interest-rates-trump.amp.htmlSo the Fed Chair is an “enemy” for stating what every economist knows? Well, I guess technically Trump is an economist because he has the degree, but he is obviously a FAKE economist because he has no f**king clue about how his trade war is going to affect our economy! My brother, a REAL economist for the past 20+ years, loses his shit everyday over Trumps stupidity. Last night he proposed an interesting theory: whoever is advising him (or their cronies) is making money off the chaos Trump is causing. Someone who knows what Trump is up to can can take advantage of these large market swings. So what if it is illegal—no one in the Trump administration is going to touch them. I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I think he might be onto something. Trump has always caused chaos as part of his “art of the deal”—keep the other side guessing so they don’t know what you really want. Someone who knows him well could manipulate him into thinking this will work to his advantage as president, resulting in these crazy flip-flops on policy and outrageous pronouncements. And while we are focusing on the crazy, they are making bank in the stock market or passing legislation that benefits them financially.

No, the “them” would be the Trump cronies who wish to profit through this administration. They encourage him to continue the crazy tweets and and volatile behavior with allies to create the chaos that takes attention away from their real agenda—legislation that guts health, safety, and environmental protections, as well as the controls that were put in place to avoid another financial market meltdown.

He only has an undergrad degree, which doesn’t qualify him as an economist. I have an undergrad degree in history, which doesn’t make me a historian, no matter how much I try to make people think I know what the hell I’m talking about.

Kyle Griffin...
”After recent summits, Trump was irked at the lengthy discussions about the environment and oceans. It wasn't clear he'd attend the G7. To help make his attendance more palatable, aides lobbied to add a session on the economy as a venue for him to brag.”
“Trump has questioned why he must attend G7”
“President Donald Trump departs late Friday for a summit he's questioned is worth his time.
This year's G7 gathering, held in seaside France, is Trump's third. It comes amid global economic jitters, tensions from the Mideast to the Indian subcontinent and raging fires in the Amazon.
But in conversations with aides over the past weeks, Trump has questioned why he must attend, according to people familiar with the conversations. After the past two G7 summits ended acrimoniously, Trump complained about attending a third, saying he didn't view the gathering as a particularly productive use of his time.
He's made similar asides in meetings with other world leaders, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and French President Emmanuel Macron, who have encouraged him over the past six months to commit to attending the Biarritz summit, people familiar with the conversations said. Macron is this year's summit host.
The G7 represents the world's major economies, and has long been a regular stop on the US President's calendar. In small group sessions, with only the leaders and few aides present, the world's major economic and geopolitical problems are discussed at length.
It's a more workaday style of foreign travel than the type of trip Trump has come to enjoy, which usually include lavish displays of welcome like royal parades or state banquets. It's also a practice in the kind of multilateralism that Trump and his aides have downplayed in favor of one-one-one negotiations with other countries.
The session's hosts help determine the agenda. Last year's meeting, in a rural Canadian riverside resort, focused on the environment and a proliferation of plastics in the ocean. A year earlier, the assembled leaders collectively worked to convince Trump to remain in the Paris climate accord (he withdrew a month later).
After those summits, Trump was irked at the lengthy discussions about the environment and oceans, the people familiar said, and felt he wasn't given enough room to tout his achievements as president. Inside the White House, it wasn't clear Trump would commit to attending the this year's G7 until late spring.
To help make his attendance this week more palatable, aides lobbied to add a Sunday morning session focused on the global economy as a venue for him to brag about the US economy to leaders of nations where growth is slowing.
"I would anticipate President Trump will be speaking quite frankly about the policies he's seen work in his own economy and really wanting to work with other countries in the G7 to figure out how we can jumpstart growth in economies all around to ensure that there are markets and opportunities for all of our workers and people," an administration official said of the President's goal in calling for the economic talks.
How that sessions unfolds remains to be seen: fellow leaders blame the global slowdown partly on his protracted trade war with China, which devolved on Friday when China announced new retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Trump responded by pressing American firms to cease business there, and equity markets dropped sharply.
And the notion of the American President convening a session simply to flaunt the relative strength of the US economy -- and taking credit for it -- isn't likely to sit well with other leaders, particularly since many of them blame his trade tactics for a slump in global growth.
"The @g7 shouldn't be an ego trip. Even those who think they are chosen need friends," former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright tweeted.
Already, French organizers have set low expectations for a concluding show of unity. Macron has said the notion of producing a joint communiqué at the end is "pointless." And Trump is preparing more intently for the several individual meetings he's scheduled with other leaders -- including a new ally, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
If this year's G7 ends poorly, however, Trump's foreign counterparts won't need to fret about his attendance at next year's. He's due to host it, and his Doral golf resort outside Miami has been reported as a possible venue.”
