Donald Trump Jr. Held A Rally And Nobody Came

Donald Trump, Jr. appeared in Kentucky to host a rally for Governor Matt Bevin, but only a handful of people actually showed up to hear the resident’s son.

According to those in attendance, there were so few people that those who were there were told to “crowd” around the stage so that it looked more packed for pictures.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why this is a bad sign for the “Trump political dynasty.”

Trump Policy Seeks To Deport Sick, Dying Children

'This administration is now deporting kids with cancer," said Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., calling it "a new low, even for Donald Trump."

Each year, the U.S. gets about 1,000 applications from immigrant families in the U.S. seeking permission to stay in the country and not face deportation so family members can continue lifesaving medical care that is not available in their home countries.

But the Trump administration recently told families who were granted permission to stay for medical care that their permission to stay has been rescinded and they have 33 days to leave the country. The policy, which was not publicly announced, is being applied retroactively to any requests filed on or before Aug. 7.

In a conference call Thursday with reporters, advocates and Democrats expressed outrage over the rule.

“This is a new low even for Donald Trump,” Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said in a conference call with reporters Thursday.

Among those facing deportation is Jonathan Sanchez, 16, who has cystic fibrosis.

His mother, Mariela Sanchez, told NBC 10 in Boston that her family arrived in the United States in 2016 and she had recently applied for the medical exemption. After losing a daughter to the hereditary and incurable disease because doctors in Honduras did not diagnose it, she knows what would have happened to her son if he was not getting the care in the U.S.

“He would be dead,” she told the station.

 

 

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment from NBC News. In a previous statement, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has said that it was no longer considering nonmilitary requests for deferred action "to focus agency resources on faithfully administering our nation’s lawful immigration system."

“This administration is now deporting kids with cancer. Perhaps that is why it was too ashamed to announce this policy change publicly," said Markey, who has been trying to draw national attention to the issue since it was first reported in Boston by WBUR-FM, a public radio station.

The Trump administration is no longer considering medical deferred action requests for immigrants. This could be a de facto death sentence for patients. We all need to stand together against the deportation of sick, vulnerable children.https://t.co/aWBnZk4v7U

The change was not made public and members of the public were not given a chance to provide comment before it went into effect. Families simply received letters telling them they had 33 days to leave.

“They are telling these people they need to leave on their own,” Anthony Marino, director of immigration legal services,said on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” about the families with seriously ill relatives now facing deportation.

“I don’t know how they expect parents to pull their children from hospital beds, disconnect them from lifesaving treatments and go some place where they are know they are going to die," said Marino. "But that is what they are telling them to do.”

In Miami, attorney Milena Portillo told The Miami Herald that families who have applied for the medical deferments include a girl with an eye malignancy, a girl with cerebral palsy and the father of three children — who are American citizens — who has a terminal liver illness.

“We as a country, we are losing our humanitarian side,” Portillo told the Herald. “We’re not reviewing case by case, but we’re just giving a blanket ‘no’ to everyone.”

Rep. Ayana Pressley, D-Mass., cited in the Thursday call the case of Samuel, a five year old boy from Brazil. She said he is unable to eat solid food and without care at Boston Children’s Hospital will not be able to receive the nutrients he needs to live.

"With this decision, again this administration has hit a new low," Pressley said. "To be fighting for your life, imagine on top of that facing deportation."

The American Immigration Lawyers Association called on the USCIS to reverse the policy change. It has asked people to contact elected leaders to change it.

A backlash over the changes has led to confusion over which Department of Homeland Security agency, the USCIS or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, must enforce the new policy, as the agencies have pointed to each other as having jurisdiction.

Medical deferrals are not the only denials imposed by the administration. USCIS told NBC News that it applies to all other deferred action requests outside of the military and immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program or DACA.

The policy change is another in a series of actions the administration has taken that have had direct impact on children, both who are immigrants and those who are U.S. citizens.

The administration has taken numerous children from their parents at the border and some have yet to be reunited.

The administration changed the so-called public charge rule so that immigrants wanting a green card or asking to move to the U.S. must prove they are unlikely to ever need public assistance, such as access to health care.

In the time the rule was being drafted and copies of it were leaked, immigrant parents with American citizen children dropped out of programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, known as WIC, which provides health care and nutritious food for very young children, even though their children have a right to such programs.

“There can be no other explanation for why you would target such a small and vulnerable community other than if your goal was to spread fear and hardship,” Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., said.

“This is all in character for an administration that is separating families and abusing children in prison camps at the border," Chu added.

Chu has filed a bill to defund the public charge rule but said “it’s clear that this administration will not stop looking for any opportunity to wage war on immigrants.”

Scaramucci Assembling His Former Trump Official Avengers Team To Take On Trump

Anthony Scaramucci believes that there are enough former Trump officials who are angry at the resident to assemble a team to take him down.

The problem with Scaramucci’s idea is that the public already knows that he’s nuts, and anything short of revealing criminal activity by the resident isn’t going to have any effect at all on the public.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Trump's Vicious Obama Hate Twists Russia's Invasion Of Crimea Into Obama's Fault

At a sick G-7 presser, Trump outrageously blamed the former president for Russia's international war crimes.

By Aliza Worthington

Perhaps it's a good thing that we still have the capacity to be baffled and outraged by the utter horseshit that comes out of the Tangerine Douchetwizzle's mouth. 

We shouldn't get used to it, and yet it still would be nice not to feel kicked in the stomach every time we're confronted with his racist, ahistorical, and unpatriotic takes on our own previous presidents. On foreign soil, no less. 

I am old enough to remember when American politicians observed the diplomatic protocol of not criticizing other Americans when they were overseas. Those days are gone thanks to the Republican embrace of Trump. 

Not only that, the criticism takes the form of lies, and reeks of racism, not only for the former president he insults, but the esteemed reporter (Yamiche Alcindor, of PBS) asking him the questions.

ALCINDOR: Thanks, Mr. President. Why do you think it's appropriate to invite Russia to the G7 given that they've meddled in the 2016 election? And are you worried that if Russia does come to the G7 that it might hurt you politically because it's only going to be a couple of months before the 2020 election? 

DJT: I don't care politically. A lot of people don't understand this. I ran one election and I won. It happened to be for president. I don't care politically....
[...blah blah blah argle bargle horsesh*t...]

...Really it was President -- I'm not blaming him, but a lot of bad things happened with President Putin and President Obama. One of the things that happened was, as you know, what happened with a very big area, a very, very big and important area in the Middle East where the red line was drawn and then President Obama decided that he was not going to do anything about it. You can't draw red lines in the sand. You just can't do it. And the other was in Ukraine having to do with a certain section of Ukraine that you know very well, where it was sort of taken away from President Obama. Not taken away from President Trump, taken away from President Obama. President Obama was not happy that this happened because it was embarrassing to him, right? It was very embarrassing to him. And he wanted Russia to be out of the what was called the G8. That was his determination. He was outsmarted by Putin. He was outsmarted. President Putin outsmarted President Obama. And I can understand how President Obama would feel. He wasn't happy. And they're not in for that reason....
[...blah yada bloop-de-doo horsedinky...]

I do nothing for politics. I do what's right. And people like what I do. But I just do what's right...

Wait, let me get this straight. You can't name the "very big area" where President Obama drew the red line in the sand (it was Syria, sweetie,) and Putin took Crimea away from President OBAMA?

Crimea was OURS, and Putin tricked Obama into giving it to him? Oh, that wily Putin. He's so dang SMART. He and his army and TANKS outwitted Obama into losing Crimea to him in a game of checkers because he's brill, man. So much smarter than Obama!

Lies and racism. Yamiche Alcindor called him on it.

ALCINDOR: Why do you keep using the misleading statement that Russia outsmarted President Obama... 

TRUMP: Well, he did.

ALCINDOR: ...when other countries have said the reason why Russia was kicked out was very clearly because they annexed Crimea? Why would you keep repeating what some people would see as a clear lie?

TRUMP: Well, it was annexed during President, I know you like President Obama, but it was annexed during President Obama's term. If it was annexed during my term, I would say, "Sorry, folks, I made a mistake." President Obama was helping Ukraine. Crimea was annexed during his term. It's a very big area and important area. [...something something submarines...] and President Obama was pure and simply outsmarted. They took Crimea during his term. That was not a good thing. It could have been stopped. It could have been stopped with the right whatever. It could have been stopped.

But President Obama was unable to stop it and it's too bad.

Yeah. It could have been stopped with the right "whatever." President Obama was outsmarted. "I know you like President Obama..." You know, because Yamiche Alcindor is Black?

Racism and lies. The BIGGEST lie was when Trump said that if Crimea was annexed during his term, he would have said, "Sorry. I made a mistake." That's the biggest pile of horseshit of all

Trump Is Kicked Off The California Ballot Until He Releases His Tax Returns

California Governor Gavin Newsome signed a bill into law this week that will prevent Donald Trump from appearing on the 2020 ballot if he does not release his tax returns.

This might get under Trump’s skin, but given the fact that California is a solid blue state, it isn’t likely to change his position on releasing those tax returns. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
