President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

On the other hand, I believe dq's absence is voluntary, is it not?

 

Yeah, I’m the one in need of comforting.

 

No, that's Whitman. Note the fedora.

 

As often as YF and I wrangled and cracked at each other, it was never personal. I knew that a lot of it was him needling to get under the Lib's skin, and I enjoyed finding fact based answers to toss back. Yeah, some of his shtick got old, but the place is a bit more boring without him. I enjoyed Dick, but between him and his detractors there was a lot of personal animosity and dirty laundry aired that really poisoned the place.

I don't miss the lockdowns.

I'm glad to see that YF can post if he chooses. If I was him I wouldn't want to be hanging in here and trying to defend what's going on. That's probably not the reason... but I wouldn't want to stage a comeback during the current political climate, either.

 

Hey @Rainman you better go explain to Trump that he can't do this.

 

Trump's Law: Trump will make anyone who defends him look like a total moron within 24 minutes of said defence.

 

From today's WaPo Daily 202:


-- The cost of holding migrant children in newly created “tent cities” is far higher than the cost of housing them in more permanent buildings — with their parents. NBC News’s Julia Ainsley reports: “The cost of holding migrant children who have been separated from their parents in newly created ‘tent cities’ is $775 per person per day, according to an official at the Department of Health and Human Services … It costs $256 per person per day to hold children in permanent HHS facilities like Casa Padre in Brownsville, Texas. And keeping children with their parents in detention centers like the one run by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement in Dilley, Texas cost $298 per resident per day, according to an agency estimate … At those prices, the additional cost to operate a 400-bed temporary structure for one month at capacity would be more than $5 million.”

 

@typefitter Are you prepared to criticize Trudeau if he doesn't repeal the safe third country agreement with the US?
