President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Please quote where I expressed this as MY opinion. Yes, I was “regurtitating” the DOJ arguments—because, in furtherance of having a reasonable and rational discussion about the issue, I was explaining to those interested (e.g., @Pete) where the DOJ was coming from. I believe I said at least once, if not more, that I didn’t necessarily agree—as highlighted in the post you quoted earlier.

You still haven’t explained why nearly 30 career attorneys in DOJ Antitrust Telecom Bureau would sign their names to a complaint supposedly filed as retaliation on behalf of the president. Or why an very well respected economist—and Obama advisor—would agree to serve as the government’s expert.

Also FTFY.

 

I’m not betting on anything.

But this is how all the conversations went from the time Trump won the primaries until a few hours before he beat Hillary.

 

Not the same thing.

 

Holy shit, some of you guys. Dick gets himself banned for being a psycho and it turns you into a bunch of mewly, whiny dramatists. It's like hanging out with a bunch of four-year-olds who just skinned their knees.

 

All the rolly eyes

 

All the wanking motions. You're the whiniest fucking guy here.

 

You calling out thin-skinned dramatists is like my 3-year-old bemoaning the prevalence of tantrums in her preschool class.

 

This is how I see it. Each post was innocuous in a vacuum. You do it time and time and time again, pretty soon a mod is going to get pissed off.

 

Your crown of thorns is in the mail.

 

Hey, man, sacrifice can be cathartic. You should try it.

 

Texas border agents tell migrant moms they'll bathe their kids. Instead, they separate them.

Border agents in Texas have been of accused of deceiving immigrant parents in order to separate them from their children.

A Boston Globe report detailing the Trump administration's policy of splitting apprehended migrant families features a conversation with a McAllen federal public defender that has gone viral.

"[Azalea] Aleman-Bendiks, the public defender, said several of her clients have told her their children were taken from them by Border Patrol agents who said they were going to give them a bath," the report read. "As the hours passed, it dawned on the mothers the kids were not coming back."

News of the alleged tactic sparked outrage and drew comparisons to methods used in Nazi Germany.

 

He was given the longest possible leash. The guy was pathologically incapable of letting things go. Christ, he would bring up 10-year-old grievances all the time. I swear, the guy could finish marathons because he was fuelled by a slight he perceived on March 7, 2001, at 11:48 AM, when a poster named Jangly Bits told him that he was wrong on a point of order about property-dispute case law.
