PolitiFact...
”.@realdonaldtrump campaigned promising to end DACA, the program protecting Dreamers from deportation. Trump has tried to end DACA, but courts have stopped him. Trump today didn't offer a permanent solution for Dreamers, rather continued temporary relief bit.ly/2Oh5O5D”
Problem is, he is the one that ended protection for the Dreamers. So here he is offering a temporary solution all the while keeping the ability to yank it if he throws a tantrum about something.

That is seriously one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen. I’m so disgusted. So much for all life is sacred. Their parents must be so proud. They are from Covington High School in KY, who has shut down their Facebook & Twitter pages, presumably because of all the negative comments they were getting. If we pulled this crap in Catholic school, we would have gotten our heads slammed into the blackboard! How is this religious in this least to try to intimidate and disrespect someone??? What is happening to religions? If my kids pull this crap now, they would be expelled from their Catholic school no questions asked. This is One more thing that makes me want to run to the Archdiocese and turn in my Catholic card. I will however, make calls/write emails to that school and archdiocese. Where are these parents??? I’m so mad!! I can’t even.

andreasmom: ITA. and to use any religion in place of the real hatred, is DISGUSTING. How is that religious AT ALL to exclude anyone or to belittle them or be cruel to them? The Jesus I came to learn about would not approve of this behavior. Where did we go wrong??
ETA: Here is the name of the kid who did this today, the name of the school he and the other kids belong to and the school info. I wrote a STRONGLY-worded email to the Principal. The name of the school is: Covington Catholic High School. The kid in question is Nicholas Sandmann.
Here are the contacts: Covington Catholic High School: Principal Robert Rowe E-mail: browe@covcath.org Telephone: (859) 491-2247 Diocese of Covington: Phone: 859-392-1500 Email: info@covdio.org Diocesan Board of Catholic Education Superintendent, Michael Clines: (859) 392-1500 E-mail: mclines@covdio.org Assistant Superintendent, Karen McGuire E-mail: kmcguire@covdio.org

I’m travelling. His big announcement was offering temporary protection for DACA in exchange for 5.7 billion??? Didn’t the SC just extend that for a year a couple days ago?

I’m so mad!! I can’t even. I only went to Catholic grade school and not high school, but I can tell you that NOTHING would have happened to the kids at my school if they got out of line. Some of the stuff they ACTUALLY pulled should have gotten some of them expelled but most never even got a slap on the wrist. Why? Because: MONEY, namely their parents had a lot of it. I bailed from that school after 7th grade because I decided I would rather take my chances in public school than to have to deal with those little creeps for another year. Turned out to be a really good decision too. (And FTR, I turned in my Catholic card the minute my mom could no longer force me to keep going to church, around 16.)

Mark Harris....
“These marchers are, in a way, the inverse image of the Stoneman Douglas kids. Spending your high school years with Trump as President has many consequences. What we saw today--the belief that your cruelty, rage and entitlement are validated at the top--is one of the worst.”
Can’t disagree.[b
“One reason that video is cutting so deep today: The smug, fixed, chilly smile. That's not a teenager out of control. It's the familiar gleam of a zealot. Never in the history of this country has that look portended anything but bad news.‘

True. But, Cohen is a known liar, too. But from reading the buzzfeed story, their sources do not depend on cohens testimony, either. Which seems good. The story is about things Cohen DID, not things Cohen SAID. So, the fact that he has a history of lying doesn't necessarily negate the details in the story. Yes, I agree - it doesn't. I just have a bunch of people on my FB feed who have already followed Trump hook, line and sinker and are disavowing anything Cohen has done or said now, as traitorous (ironically). So I was just expressing my relief that it seems that there is evidence that validates things, that doesn't come directly from him. Although for these people, I doubt that will be enough, either.

I teach Government, and my students do the same thing. They want to know which way I lean ... and they do not like moderate or independent as an answer. I've also been talking about Nixon/Agnew and the Washington Post. Today we were covering leadership roles in Congress, and the order of succession. I asked if we had ever had a point in history where the Speaker was close to stepping into the presidency, and then talked about Agnew's resignation and the threat of impeachment for Nixon. They had no idea. Cool! Have you listened to Rachel Maddow's podcast, "Bagman" about Agnew? Very interesting & a good reminder about our U.S. history. That is EXACTLY what I just listened to! I finished it a few days ago, which is why it was percolating in my mind as we talked about succession. :-)

OMG, my heart is breaking for this man - there are deplorables on my local tv fb page defending these punks. cryI saw this happen on the news, got the kid's info, and wrote to his school. Here's the school info and the kid's name if you want to write or call. He (and the rest) should be reprimanded in some way (suspension, expelled...) and they need to learn about acceptance and everything that is TRULY Catholic! Having gone to a Catholic school, I have been suspended a few times for even looking at a nun the wrong way! I hope my email and responses from other people help set this kid straight!!!
Here is an example written by someone on the NewsandGuts.com page: Below is an email I sent this little idiot's high school, administrators, diocese and others - feel free to use any part of this in an email of your own, if you are so inclined.
"To Covington Catholic High School administrators:
There is a video showing your students, Michael Hodge in particular, taking a smug yet threatening stance, quite obviously in order to intimidate and disrespect an elder Native American who was doing nothing to provoke him. Drumming and chanting are a form of prayer - suppose someone came up to a priest holding mass and stood in his face like? What might the repercussions be? Further, What kind of school is this, that would produce a child that is so toxic, so disrespectful, so hateful? His friends in their MAGA hats cheered him on, by the way, so it's obvious that your culture tolerates, supports or perhaps even encourages this sort of display.
This shameful behavior reflect poorly on your school, and more widely on the Catholic faith that, although not without its own moral challenges within its ranks, is supposed to be educating children and instilling some sort of moral compass, if not at the very least, respect for elders.
Shame on him. Shame on his family. And shame on you. I will be posting and reposting the video until there has been a statement released that shows there are consequences for this disgusting behavior. Signed, Georgia Montgomery "
Here are the contacts: Covington Catholic High School: Principal Robert Rowe E-mail: browe@covcath.org Telephone: (859) 491-2247 Diocese of Covington: Phone: 859-392-1500 Email: info@covdio.org Diocesan Board of Catholic Education Superintendent, Michael Clines: (859) 392-1500 E-mail: mclines@covdio.org Assistant Superintendent, Karen McGuire E-mail: kmcguire@covdio.org
ETA: The letter I wrote to the Principal, Robert Rowe (browe@covcath.org) were not quite as nice as the sample letter i posted, above. I hope that these letters make this school stop and think!
****THE MOTHER OF HODGE JUST CORRECTED EVERYONE WITH THE NAME OF THE KID WHO STOOD IN FRONT OF THE ELDERLY MAN. THE KID'S NAME IS NICHOLAS SANDMANN****************

I've learned over the last few years to steer clear of those kind of pages. The comments sections of affiliates around here are the biggest cesspools of the lowest common denominator of deplorables. Its so repulsive. The kind of people who bask and thrive in the misery of others. Truly sad muppets.

Yes, I too sent an email to the principle. I was in tears after listening to the elder. These punks are truly disturbing.

Why has the news been trickling out these bombshells steadily for the last couple weeks? Is it possible they are trying to "force" an investigation and impeachment proceedings BEFORE Mueller's report comes out? Brilliant minds have a plan here, but what? And why? A lawyer I follow has said on a few of her daily broadcasts that she believes that these last few big stories have been released with Mueller's approval. The reason she thinks that is that it appears that he is educating the American people about Trump's crimes the same way you educate a jury. youtu.be/x_9NjYjF2SA the part where she starts talking about her suspicions in this regard starts around 11:45. Very informative, thank you.

What do you think these boys and their parents think of the Gillette ad? They probably think the ad is all mean and unfair to men and stuff and that the boy's behavior is fine because "boys will be boys".

Didn’t the SC just extend that for a year a couple days ago? and wasn't it last year that he would not discuss DACA without the government being open? I could be wrong because it is hard to keep up with the sh!t show and it's moving parts or BS happening seemingly daily.

I apologize to any decent human beings from Kentucky but OF COURSE this high school is in Kentucky! That f-ing state keeps electing Mitch McConnell. What a racist elitist group of kids. This makes me so angry and worried about our future.
