A former classmate is doing some volunteer work at the local jail that is housing people for ICE. She shared a story recently about a man who came here legally on a work visa. He had a medical issue that affected his ability to work. As a result, his Visa was revoked. Before that, he was working legally and had medical insurance. He now needs dialysis. During his efforts to get treatment, figure out what he needs to do, etc, he was detained. While he's being housed in the local county jail, he's being denied medical treatment. Petitions have been signed to expedite his hearing so that he could at least do home for treatment. Expedition denied. Treatment still denied. He came here legally. He was working legally. He was following the processes required. He was detained and is being denied medical treatment. The only thing that made him illegal is the invalid visa but he wasn't trying to stay illegally. He was going through the necessary steps but was swept up in an ICE raid. This is in my city.

It seems trump was on a roll last night in Montana.
Newsweek...
“DONALD TRUMP MOCKED BOTH JOHN MCCAIN, WHO IS DYING, AND GEORGE H.W. BUSH, WHO JUST LOST HIS WIFE, AT MONTANA RALLY”
“President Donald Trump again faces heavy criticism for his comments at a campaign rally Thursday night about cancer-stricken U.S. Senator John McCain and former President George H.W. Bush, who recently lost his wife of 73 years, Barbara.
Before thousands at the Montana rally, Trump did not mention either leader by name but chided McCain for his vote against the president’s repeal-and-replace measure for Obamacare last year.
Trump also bashed a common campaign slogan of Bush’s, a “thousand points of light,” which was a call for volunteerism and symbolized diversity around the country. The current commander-in-chief said he never understood the phrase.
"Thousand points of light," Trump said. "What does that mean? I know one thing: Make America Great Again we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that? Has anyone ever figured that one out? It was put out by a Republican wasn't it.”
Just shows how low Conservatives have sunk by standing by and letting trump attack two of their own. And while I may not agree with their positions, both men are honorable. Remember he only does it because no one in his party stops him,

And even the ones not seeking reelection may denounce him to the media...and then go and vote along party lines. I try not to use words like "all", "always", and "never" but it is insupportable. The events of the past couple of days have left me feeling like I need a shower and some gris-gris to ward off the evil that grips this administration.

This dyed in the wool capitalist would now vote for a socialist. GOP has to learn their lesson. They have been spineless and turn a blind eye to a myriad of corruption. A least I know what I get from a socialist. And if you are so concerned about socialism, what about communism. Rumor has it 7 GOP senators, no press were hamming it up in Russia on the 4th of July. Oh, and guess what, when people don't have insurance we all pay for it. Pay me now, pay me later. But the GOP thought it was so smart of them to get rid of the no insurance penalty. No I am not worried about the US becoming like Venezuela. I am more worried about dictatorships and corruption a la Russia. Or becoming a Putin/Trump baby. That worries me a lot more. Since when is Russia not a threat? That’s how I feel, the GOP is spending money like there’s an infinite source of it so they are less fiscally conservative then the ‘dems’. But at least withyhe Dems I can ‘see’ where some of my money is going. It’s feeding kids, educating kids, investing in a sound/stable environment, and paying for medical coverage. The Dems aren’t pissing away money on a different golf course every single weekend, buying soundproof phone booths ( while your boss is talking on unsecured phones), chartering planes, destroying American companies til they move over seas, etc etc Do they both waste money? Yea, but I don’t even know who/what the GOP is anymore I agree with this completely. With the money flushing sh!tshow this administration has become, I will not believe for one second that the Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility. I don’t know how they can even begin to claim that anymore with a straight face with all of the proof right there in black and white. The truth matters. FACTS matter. It’s beyond ridiculous at this point how much taxpayer money has been literally thrown away over the last year and a half on self indulgent extravagance that could have done so much for so many. And the fact that this craziness has gone virtually unchecked this whole time by the rest of the Republicans should speak VOLUMES. It’s kind of like spending your paycheck on hookers and blow when you should have been using it to keep the lights on and the kids fed. I just don’t get it.

Chinese company producing Trump 2020 flags despite looming trade warBy Sophie Tatum, CNN Updated 6:48 PM ET, Thu July 5, 2018 Washington (CNN) Flags for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign are being produced in China, one of the flag manufacturers said in an interview on NPR, despite a looming trade war. Li Jiang owns a factory that began to make flags after China became part of the World Trade Organization, according to an interview with Li on NPR's "The Indicator." The factory made products for both the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Trump campaign in 2016. "We also make flags for Trump for 2020. It seems like he has another campaign going on in 2020. Isn't that right?" Li said in the interview, which had been translated through an interpreter, according to a transcript from the show. Li went on to say that making flags for Trump's 2020 bid "is completely normal." www.cnn.com/2018/07/05/politics/china-trade-trump-2020-flags/index.htmlShame on him!! I bought a flag not too long ago, 'Made in America'! There are a few companies in the united States who make flags!!

I made sure my flags for the 4th were made here. I think other HRC stuff was made in America. I ordered a shirt and some buttons back in 2016. Anyway, I read a piece a while back about a journalist who stayed at the Trump Hotel. He looked at where all the items in the room were made and there were a few made here and everything else made all over the world.

I really hope the R's pay for their cowardice at the polls.

Do they both waste money? Yea, but I don’t even know who/what the GOP is anymore The same could be said about the left. The dems are becoming the party of radicals.Yes, because the GOP has become the party of hatred, money grabbers, and dictators.

The liberal party hasn’t changed much—it’s the republicans who have gone so far right, they have a liar of epic proportions at the helm, they have a GOP, senators, reps who look the other way over all offenses committed by the idiot in Chief because they have taken $$$$$$$ from oil & gas, NRA, Russian oligarchs, and other chemical and energy businesses to represent their needs and only their needs.
The republicans are bawling now that the liberals are more aggressive when in reality they’re pretty much the same—most haven’t moved farther to the left, we are still speaking out to represent those who are being affected by the disasters this administration is wreaking on a daily basis.
It is complete and utter bullshit that the liar in charge daily caused so much offensive disregard for the lives of other humans because they will not agree with him, or that they quite exactly what he says and he calls it fake, or the division he created daily for a large majority of the people living in the US.
Not one peep from the conservatives that there had been yet more official confirmation of Russia meddling to get trump in office. Why? Follow the $$$$. Anyone with eyeballs can read that trump is not above being bribed, or paid off to get what he wants (what do you think his licensing of his name means—he gets $$$ for selling his name).
They cannot even chastise all the trump goods made in China, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines—-for Ivanka and now all trumps new 2020 political gear. Fucking hypocrites.
And I’m sure that his meeting with North Korea was a big winner 🙄 and the one with Russia will be just as bigot awesome 🙄🙄.
He’s selling out and dismantling the USA and doing so RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES and in PLAIN SIGHT.
Conservatives that feel that the only argument they have to stand on is to bash, belittle and disparage democrats as well as those who won’t cowtow to the bully and take this administration’s bullshit as truth can just go royally fuck themselves.
I would much rather be a liberal, who speaks out, uses my voice to denounce the atrocities that the lying Cheeto creates on a daily basis than live complicit and silent.

“UPDATE: @realdonaldtrump's Mar-a-Lago club is now asking to hire *61* foreign workers for the coming season. They just posted an application to hire 21 foreign cooks, who'll be paid slightly less than last year. lcr-pjr.doleta.gov/index.cfm?even…”
I looked at the request. The pay is “to $13.13 “ from the middle of October to the end of May.
It’s garbage trump can’t find cooks. He just doesn’t want to pay them.
The request should be denied.

Of course they did. I posted a long time ago here— Watch the prisons—his buddies are buying up land to create privatized prisons to support his “law and order” so that they can use prisoners as a free labor market. DeVos was hired to dismantled and destroy the education system so that her business of private schooling takes off for her and their investors. Kids are going to be dumbed down and have forced religion in schools.

Which is also not enough to live nearby, right? What an opportunity to provide 61 Americans with jobs and a living wage if he raised the salary! But nope. My understanding is it's not year-round, but I bet there would be Americans willing to do it for even part of a year if it paid anything.

You mean to tell me they can't find 61 people who already live here that want to work for his restaurant? (then again, it IS Mar-a-Lago-- maybe not...)

Of course he doesn't believe them. Abusers stick together. But he had no trouble trotting out Clinton’s accusers during his campaign and attacked Al Franken. But God forbid that a Freedom Caucus member gets accused of anything.

One of Trump’s Kentucky campaign chair, Timothy Nolan, just pleaded guilty to a variety of human trafficking charges including forcing women and juveniles to have sex in exchange for rent and giving juveniles drugs and alcohol and forcing them to have sex with him. He is also a former judge. He was sentenced in May.
His Oklahoma campaign chair also pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking charges in November 2017. Ralph Shortey was also a former state representative who resigned when the charges became public.
It seems they all flock together under Trump.
