when DT and his administration are the ones who have CAUSED this 'crisis' themselves in the first place. SEVERELY limiting the amount of people who can come in at any one place, cutting off aid to the COUNTRIES they're coming from, etc. And how many years were the republicans holding the House and Senate and they did nothing.... Particularly for the first TWO years with dt?!?!?!? And they did nothing... but of course the GOP and not even the Democrats talk about those TWO years when the GOP was incharge of ALL of them!....

”Trump said he placed sanctions on Ayatollah Khomeini, who died in 1989.”
He really said that, I listened to him on the video and he was reading from a document on his desk and he still got it wrong.
And what is this bit of him always sitting at a desk surrounded by folks? Maybe past presidents have done this but now it looks like some power trip by trump or he is too old too stand.

Ethics complaints? dt administration and ethics complaints.......... NO..... not them!! The federal government on Tuesday filed a civil lawsuit against former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, alleging that she failed to file a required financial disclosure report after she was fired.The civil action alleges that Manigault Newman is in violation of the Ethics in Government Act “for knowingly and willfully failing to file the required public financial disclosure report after her employment terminated with the Executive Office of the President.” The Department of Justice is seeking a fine of up to $50,000 against Manigault Newman. The Hill has reached out to Manigault Newman and one of her attorneys for comment. The complaint, filed in federal court in D.C. on Tuesday, alleges that Manigault Newman was told in December 2017 – when she left the White House – that she needed to file a termination financial disclosure report by January 18, 2018. ** thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/450319-doj-files-federal-lawsuit-against-omarosa-alleging-she-violatedOh, I guess it is only if you no longer work there?!?!?!?

It will NEVER end! Washington (CNN) A Chilean mining company whose owner has business ties to President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner was able to clear significant "roadblocks" in the early days of the Trump administration in order to reverse Obama-era restrictions that prevented it from mining near protected land in Minnesota, The New York Times reported Monday.The Times, citing government emails and calendars it reviewed, said the Trump administration worked in early 2017 with the mining company, Antofagasta, in order to clear certain hurdles so the company could operate a copper mine near the Boundary Waters, "a vast landscape of federally protected lakes and forests along (Minnesota's) border with Canada." According to the paper, the newly granted access to the mines has drawn criticism "because of an unusual connection" between Andrónico Luksic, whose family owns the mining company, and Trump and Kushner, who serve as senior advisers to the President and rent their Washington, DC, home from Luksic for $15,000 a month.Rodrigo Terré, the chairman of Luksic's family investment office, which handled the purchase of the home that was later rented to the couple, told the Times that both sides knew the identities of the other before the rental deal was completed. The paper said the couple "had decided to lease the home before knowing the landlord's identity," according to Peter Mirijanian, a spokesman for Kushner's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, though Mirijanian did not respond to the Times' questions about whether or not they knew Luksic's identity before signing the lease. ** www.cnn.com/2019/06/25/politics/minnesota-mining-trump-administration-jared-kushner-ivanka-trump/index.html

linkABC News.. “Trump administration proposes $7.1 billion funding cut to Education Department”“he Trump administration is looking to decrease the Education Department’s funding by $7.1 billion compared to what it was given last year, as Parton trump of next year’s proposed budget. “The budget proposal suggests eliminating 29 programs, including after-school and summer programs for students in high-poverty areas, among other things.“Ok, but that means no more tax payer paying for trump’s visits If he wants to go, he can pay it himself. No, that means that he can campaign for the next 17 months and play golf at our expense!

The guy was indicted before the 2018 election and he still was re-elected. Remember he said his wife was responsible for the campaign spending.... not so sure she did the pay for his trips and trists with his female friends. AND she pleaded guilt and will testify AGAINST him!!
Oh and he has asked for his trial to be moved away from San Diego to where dt won, for a more dt friendly settling/jury?! NOT sure that is true, but have heard it on TV several times...........

dt said it was up to Barr if Mueller appeared. Barr said no problem with Mueller testifying. Might dt change his mind? Not unusual if he did!

A baby...an innocent tiny baby...I bet their reaction is that it’s his fault for attempting to cross 😡 The guy’s mother was interviewed and said that he had been unable to apply legally for asylum ( I don’t know why) but was desperate (clearly!) to make a better life for his family. Breaks my heart 😢

Breaks my heart 😢 I heard about it, but that's because I listen to progressive talk radio... not sure whether it made 'regular' news or not. Honestly, though, DT is doing SO MANY heinous things, it's tough to keep up with it all. As to why it happened in the first place?? Because the TRUMP administration is not ALLOWING people to apply for LEGAL asylum. That is what leads them to get desperate and try things like this, or try to cross illegally at other points along the border- because they aren't ALLOWED to enter and apply for asylum at legit border crossings. Honestly, at this point, I wish the UN would come in and start investigating, because these border conditions- the deaths, the conditions in the for-profit centers, etc.- are universally-recognized HUMAN RIGHTS violations, aren't they?!? I never in my wildest dreams thought I would EVER say I wish the UN would investigate human-rights violations in MY OWN country, but at this point, I think that's what should be done.

Yes, it's all over the national news. Cover of NYT and Washington Post on CNN etc. I also thought of the UN and looked up the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the US is a signatory, but we did not ratify it, so we are not legally bound by international law.

Other human rights treaties, besides one that applies just to children?? I mean, is it legal to limit and/or not allow individuals to apply for LEGAL ASYLUM??

Apparently Bernie Sanders is hanging around the ”many/same people” that trump does.
When asked if he would leave the race if it became clear he would not be the nominee he said “some people said if the “system” was not rigged against me I would have won and beat trump blah blah blah.”
The system was not rigged against him. The “system” was the primary election in each of the states. How each state was going to run their version of the primary elections were set-up long before Sanders decided to run. His largest support was from independents and first time voters. It would appear neither the campaign or the potential voters took the time to determine what they needed to do to vote in their state’s primary. They just whined and said “let the people vote”.
And even the “super delegates “ had little to do with determining the outcome because Hillary built a lead in votes that Sanders couldn’t overcome. I believe the final number was around 3 million.
Moral of the story, if you want to run in a general election, you had better learn the rules first and not expect them to change just because your name is Bernie Sanders, the sometime Democrat.

I'm not usually a fan of AOC, but she is very eloquent. The few times I have seen her ask questions in a congressional hearing, she sounds very educated and she gets to her point.
Way to go! Unfortunately, nothing will happen, but that doesn't mean we stop speaking out.

CNN's Paul Begala calls "hateful, racist" comments Morgan made back in January to Fox News' Tucker Carlson about children in detention facilities shocking. Source: CNN
Why wouldn't these kids hate us the way they are being treated? Compassion goes a long way helped with food, water and decency.. Toothbrushes, paste and some comfort!
dt is training a whole generation to hate us....... Someday some of them will come for us! Although trump and his branding will make him and his kids much easier to find.. Maybe they will pay the long term price!!

The system he’s talking about is the DEMOCRATIC party primary, which is for DEMOCRATS to choose a candidate. Their system at their convention is NOT NEW they did not spring how they run their conventions on him. If he didn’t know it’s because he didn’t look & find out. Grow up Bernie Now I’m not going to say I agree that super delegates etc are the way I’d go, but it’s the ‘system’ they had in place for quite some time. Take your old man mumblings of ‘some people’ and go home Bernie we already have a candidate ( POTUS ) who is out of touch with reality.
