President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

E Pluribus Bufunum

 

Way to go, Donald

 

The No. 2 dollar bill.

 

Remember how Trump runs operates his businesses: Runs them into the ground, declares bankruptcy and comes out smelling like a rose. Probably figures GM will do the same.

 

Heartbreaking

When we hurt migrants, we hurt Americans [Opinion]

 

This is just more proof Wall St. traders are hyperactive and at bottom quite gullible people. The world knows Trump's threats are hollow except when directed at people with no possible way of hitting back. GM has many ways. He'll do squat and it'll all go down the memory hole by Friday morning.

 

This is way fucking overdue.

 

Shots fired

 

MMGA!

 

Shivering and exhausted after crossing the Rio Grande River, the woman and her small daughter encountered U.S. border agents almost immediately. The officials drove them to the Port Isabel detention center in Brownsville — and the hielera. The icebox. A routine, and controversial, part of the border control process, the hielera is an ice-cold cell with concrete floors where newly apprehended migrants are jammed often for days. Forbidden to huddle for warmth, with no protection except Mylar sheets, the women in the hielera begged border control agents for sweaters.

“They laughed,” the mother told us. “A group of them fanned themselves and said, ‘Whew, it’s hot in here! Let’s turn up the air conditioning.’”

From the hielera, officers transferred the woman to the perrera, the dog kennel. Here, in a cell crammed with dozens of other women, trays of disgusting food such as still-frozen bologna were kicked across the cell floor. She told us that once, after a day with no food at all, a guard opened the door at 3 a.m. and hurled in packs of crackers, as if to animals.
...
At late-night dinners all that week, my co-workers described similar stories. One talked to a small boy who said he was told by guards to sign a paper he couldn’t read or have his fingers chopped off. Another interviewed an 8-year-old who watched guards kicking a teenager over and over in the ice box room. Child welfare workers and lawyers have documented thousands of similar reports.

 

If you buy what Starman is selling it would be the $3 bill.
