Might be separating families again.... Forcing asylum seekers to choose between indefinite detention and family separation is cruelBY MICHELLE BRANÉ, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 11/03/18 03:00 PM EDT THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL We also know now that the administration is seeking to resume family separation at the border, this time in combination with family detention in what is being called a “binary choice.” This measure would force parents to choose between being separated from their children or being held together indefinitely in family jail, in conditions that do not meet child welfare standards.This isn’t about sound policy, this is about the worst kind of electioneering — pandering to hate and fear. Let’s be clear — “binary choice” is not a choice. By being forced to choose separation, parents will have their children taken from them and sent to unfamiliar shelters and care, and risk never seeing their children again. Even after the disaster of the failed separation policy, there is still no coordinated system or unified database for tracking family separations. Children separated at the border may be lost to a chaotic and disorganized system that causes irreversible trauma and harm. By being forced to choose to stay together in jails that do not meet basic standards for child welfare, parents would be endangering their child in a different — but no less insidious — way, essentially signing away their child’s rights under established U.S. precedent that governs the conditions under which migrant children can be detained. Experts, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, find both options to be harmful to children. This is not a choice any parent should ever have to make. In considering it, the administration reveals its willingness to prey upon the fear, stress, and confusion of parents who have come to the United States to seek protection for themselves and their children. ** The administration tried to gaslight the nation into believing that somehow this was just about law enforcement or border protection. In June, a judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to fix its self-created catastrophe by reunifying separated children with their parents. Still, more than four months since the ruling, this legal victory rings hollow. The administration has blown past every deadline, clearly unable and unwilling to fix the chaos it created. ** Similarly, 87 percent of voters believe that protecting children and families is an American value, and 77 percent believe we have to protect children and families who are facing danger of violence at home. These are American values, not partisan views — reflecting a cross-section of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. The president wants us to believe that cruelty works — and that there are no other options. The truth is the cruelty and other deterrence efforts have never stopped parents from doing whatever it takes to keep their children safe. In fact, most Americans support rational, nuanced policies that maintain our longstanding tradition of and deep commitment to respecting human rights, while also providing safeguards against abuse of the asylum system. ** We have seen clearly that the American people — as divided as they are on so many topics — are more united than ever on this one. By doubling down on the wrong side of this issue, the administration is increasingly on the wrong side of this country. ** More at link: thehill.com/opinion/immigration/414665-forcing-asylum-seekers-to-choose-between-indefinite-detention-and-family

BuzzfeedKyle Griffin... “In one video, [the Tallahassee shooter] said that he resented having to subsidize as a taxpayer 'the casual sex lives of slutty girls' through the Affordable Care Act's contraception provisions." Women who take yoga classes are slutty girls? And this also from Kyle Griffin.. “The man who shot dead two women at a yoga studio in Tallahassee before killing himself was a far-right extremist and self-proclaimed misogynist who railed against women, black people, and immigrants in a series of online videos and songs, BuzzFeed reports”

“Today the Trump administration held a briefing on reimposing sanctions on Iran. Secretary of State Pompeo said that the sanctions are “just a part of the U.S. Government’s total effort to change the behavior of the Ayatollah Khomeini,” who has been dead since 1989”
Doesn’t anybody in the trump administration check the facts before they open their mouths?

This from Daniel Dale...
Trump to Christian Broadcasting on Air Force One: "Nobody's done more for Christians or evangelicals or frankly religion than I have."
Prompted this from Robert Maquire..
“It will never cease to amaze me that a man who slept with a porn star while his third wife was nursing his fifth child and who has openly admitted he's never asked God's forgiveness can say things like this and evangelicals will believe he gives a damn about religious issues”
&
“I sometimes wonder if Trump's evangelical supporters know that he admitted -- on camera in front of a live audience -- that he's never asked God's forgiveness.
I'm not talking ten years ago or twenty years ago, but during the 2016 elections”

This from Orrin Hatch..
“A simple reminder: under Republican leadership and due to Republican policies, you are seeing: ✅ the best job market since 1969 ✅ with the most opportunity ✅ and highest paychecks for working families in a decade. “
Prompted the real story from a Donna Higgins.
“LIES wages are stagnant or less Lowest manufacturing jobs & highest overseas Only 12 % of workers benefited from #taxscam Job creation less than Obama's Health insurance up Food prices up Gas up Consumer prices up Energy cost up Inflation up Bank fees up Heading 4 recession”

Why why why?!? How did we come to this? Top Trump official: Florida governor's race is 'so cotton-pickin' important'BY ARIS FOLLEY - 11/03/18 08:16 PM EDT Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue described the Florida gubernatorial race between Republican Ron DeSantis and Democrat Andrew Gillum by using the word “cotton-pickin’” at a DeSantis rally Saturday. “Public policy matters. Leadership matters,” Sonny Perdue, President Trump’s top agriculture official, said at a rally held in support of DeSantis, Politico reported. “And that is why this election is so cotton-pickin' important to the state of Florida. I hope you all don’t mess it up,” Perdue continued. When pressed about Perdue’s remarks by Politico, Stephen Lawson, a spokesman for DeSantis’ campaign, told the publication the campaign was “happy” to have Perdue at the rally and said: “You would have to ask Governor Perdue about any of his remarks.” Perdue’s use of the term comes several months after David Bossie was suspended from his role as a contributor on Fox News after using the same term while speaking to a black guest during a show. During an appearance on “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Bossie had told the guest who he was engaged in a debate with that he was out of his “cotton-picking mind.” Bossie was suspended shortly after the incident and issued an apology. Fox News host Ed Henry also called the phrase “deeply offensive and wholly inappropriate.” Since the day after Florida's primary elections, when DeSantis said on Fox News that voters should not "monkey this up" by voting for Gillum, the Republican's campaign has been dogged by allegations of racism. thehill.com/homenews/campaign/414732-top-trump-official-florida-governors-race-is-so-cotton-pickin-important

“Landing in Montana now - at least everybody admits that my lines and crowds are far bigger than Barack Obama’s...”
This is who was elected president. This paranoid insured fragile little man.
Unbelievable.
Paul Waldman...
“He's president of the United States and not only is he still gripped by an absolutely desperate insecurity, but he lacks even the minimal self-awareness to realize how obvious this kind of thing makes it to everyone.”

Doesn’t anybody in the trump administration check the facts before they open their mouths? I don't think it's the Trump administration that needs to check facts on this. The current Ayatollah is named Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei.

The current Ayatollah is named Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei. I will not pretend to be in any way knowledgeable on this subject, but Twitter seems to think that Khomeini (the deceased one) and Khamenei (the current one) are not just transliterations of the same name, but actually different names in the Farsi language. I would also have thought they were different Anglicizations of the same name, but regardless, I would hope that someone in the government knows more about this than I do. 😊

He said he was going to cut the Coast Guard budget. Well he/they did. So much for any memember of Congress, House or Senate, read the budget bills!! Focus on defense budgets leaves Coast Guard high and dryBY JEFFREY E. PHILLIPS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 11/04/18 08:00 AM EST 3 THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL Congratulations to Congress for passing the fiscal year 2019 defense budget. We won’t begrudge the accolades that resounded in Capitol Hill offices on the occasion of lawmakers simply having done their job. Yet the job isn’t fully done. The U.S. Coast Guard, essential to homeland security, remains unfunded for next year.The Coast Guard and its reserve are managed and funded from two sections of federal law: Title 10, which governs the Department of Defense (DOD), under whose control Coast Guard units may operate in war; and Title 14, which governs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The 2019 Homeland Security Appropriations Bill would be the primary source of Coast Guard funding. The Coast Guard is operating under a continuing resolution, its 34th CR since the start of FY 2010. As is the case with the other armed services, CRs erode readiness at a time when security threats are high — and increasing. As America’s maritime first responder, our Coast Guard must be “ready, relevant and responsive,” as its guiding principles state. Integral to its readiness, the Coast Guard Reserve must respond to all hazards within 48 hours. Coast Guard reservists in port security units deploy to Guantanamo Bay to provide “around-the-clock anti-terrorism force protection and security along the coastline and the naval station’s defensive sea area, which extends three miles from Naval Station Guantanamo Bay’s shoreline,” according to Master Chief Petty Officer Ryan Hooper, command master chief, 13th District. As former Coast Guard commandant, Adm. Paul F. Zukunft, testified to Congress in March, “Over a five-week period, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria and Nate impacted over 2,540 miles of shoreline and Coast Guard men and women in helicopters, boats, cutters, vehicles and on foot rescued over 11,300 people and over 1,500 pets.” more at link: thehill.com/opinion/national-security/414010-focus-on-defense-budgets-leaves-coast-guard-high-and-dry

The current Ayatollah is named Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei. Actually, they do, because Khomeini and Khamenei are different names (the added I at the end is common for Persian names as an attributive ending for geographical locations, etc). Think Johnson and Jameson - similar but different. Source: my Persian former coworker And for the record, yes, I can see how the names could be confused, but I still expect a higher level of detail and quality from our diplomats and "leaders".
