President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

That's pretty sad. Solberg, as everyone knows, is the prime minister of NORAD.

 

Here it comes again ...

Team kicked out of league for offensive basketball jerseys

Jerseys worn by a Kings recreational youth basketball team were called out as racist and sexist Sunday by parents, leading to an early end to the team's season.

Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League kicked the Kings team out of the league after the controversy. Yet why it took three weeks into the season to boot Kings Rec Basketball 7-12 team is what West Clermont team parent Tony Rue wants to know.

"There is enough hate, bullying, and aggressive behavior in the world that these kids, parents, and schools shouldn’t have to deal with bigotry and lewd innuendos on jerseys and in team names in a school district-represented recreational basketball league," Rue wrote in a much-commented-upon Facebook post.

On Sunday, Rue's wife pointed out the "Wet Dream Team" name of the Kings area team to him. They saw racist names of "Coon" and "Knee Grow" on the backs of player jerseys.

"This isn’t a typo, this isn’t a mistake, these are ideas that were thought of, discussed, agreed upon by adults and kids alike, printed on uniforms...and no one thought this was a bad idea or inappropriate?" Rue asked in his post.

 

Suck it again, Cheeto ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday night temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s decision to end a program protecting young immigrants from deportation.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted a request by California and other plaintiffs to prevent President Donald Trump from ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program while their lawsuits play out in court.

Alsup said lawyers in favor of DACA clearly demonstrated that the young immigrants “were likely to suffer serious, irreparable harm” without court action. The judge also said the lawyers have a strong chance of succeeding at trial.

Judge blocks Trump decision to end young immigrant program

 

Only the best people.

 

Probably very economically anxious.

 

Trump’s North Korea policy is paying dividends.

 

I’m unconvinced that getting rid of earmarks was a good idea. Earmarks were the currency of Congress.

 

Because men are tired of hearing what pigs they are.

Haven’t they suffered enough?

 

Agreed. It is easy to be self-righteous and grandstand when you have nothing at risk. The problem was the accountability and transparency - not the earmarks themselves.
"$1.1 million for a Maple syrup research study at my alma mater? Why, how did THAT get in there?"

How can you believe failing NY Times?

 

I love this story. It’s scary because they’re Russians.

But, of course, it highlights the entire problem of our immigration policy.

And, because of that, @RickStain is willing to pretend there’s nothing wrong with it.
