From the New York Times article linked to below:
“The document departs from the council’s long tradition of delivering sober, albeit partisan, studies on current questions confronting economic policymakers, such as the value of tax cuts or the effects of increased corporate concentration. Instead, the report seeks to tar Democrats by linking them with the failed economic policies of communist governments in China, the Soviet Union and other countries.”
Trump has lied about the caravan and demonized them. These are mostly people fleeing terrible circumstances and looking for a better life. They want to work – they are not criminals. We have any unfilled jobs and can use people who want to work.
I am not in favor of criminals and open borders. I am in favor of treating people with respect and compassion. I am opposed to separating parents and their children.
People in the caravan have the right to apply for asylum. I assume more people are trying to get asylum since Trump is cutting back on legal immigration. Their claims should be evaluated in accordance with the pre-Trump interpretation of the law.
Which Republican congressional representatives and governors will lose in the 2018 elections? I think it will be the moderates (or in this era, just plain conservatives). I can’t see districts that have elected extreme conservative Republicans going Democratic. Thus, some more moderate Republicans will be gone and what’s left is an even more extreme party.
update:
He would if Putin told him to.
This explains some Trump voters – they are vulnerable to lies.
Trump has created an atmosphere where the bombs were not surprising.
Let’s see if he calls it terrorism. I doubt it.
They should be ashamed. The bombs are real.
I have included examples of their vile tweets after the articles.
Now they want to make it sound like Trump is the victim.
Sad!
