Donald Trump's wanton unethical & swampy behavior is not going
unnoticed! Join Jesse Dollemore as he discusses but a handful of Donald Trump's
disgraceful methods of profiting from the residency!
Donald Trump swore all day Monday that he had nothing to do with
military personnel and the Vice President staying at his Turnberry golf
course in Scotland, but it turns out this was just another lie.
And the
little failing airport that feeds Turnberry? Trump’s got a deal with
them, too, and that’s why hundreds of military flights are stopping at
the inconvenient airport in order to spend millions on fuel.
Ring of
Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.
Fox News' Laura Ingraham waded into the waters to attempt to 'trigger
the libs.' Instead of accomplishing what she set out to, she ended up
making a colossal fool of herself!
Donald Trump’s advisers believe that he’s done a great job running the
country, but they also see his erratic behavior as sabotaging his own
reelection campaign.
His horrendous comments over the summer certainly
haven’t helped his chances, but he seems to think that’ll be what helps
him win.
Donald Trump can't handle Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Squad; here
is a perfect example. John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on
The Damage Report.
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.”
'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been rescinded and they have 33 days to leave the country.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.
“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.”
Eugene Robinson joins Morning Blow to talk about his new op-ed in The
Washington Post about Trump’s obsession with comparing himself to
President Obama and his behavior at the G-7 meeting.
Let's talk about the reporting from Axios that Donald Trump has (ON
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS) suggested that we bomb hurricanes so they won't come
to the shores of the United States.
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.
With just his actions on WEDNESDAY of this week, Donald Trump
demonstrated the dire situation we are facing with him in the office of resident.
He is a ranting & raving lunatic who is steering our
country off a cliff and threatening our allies while asserting that he
may still be in office in FOURTEEN YEARS from now... and all while
claiming to be the chosen one, the second coming of God, and the king of
Israel.
At a sick G-7 presser, Trump outrageously blamed the former president for Russia's international war crimes.
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
