> "We are going to have the Air Force, and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal," Trump said. "It is going to be something. So important. General Dunford [Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff], if you would carry that assignment out, I would be very greatly honored, also. Where's General Dunford? General? Got it?" Dunford replied, "We got it."
@GodEmperorDune I mean, I take the @murgatroid99 approach of liking us to get the shit we're complaing about right. But sure, go with that.
I mostly linked it because I still can't believe he just dropped 'separate but equal' in there for some reason
@MadScientist I'm not sure the exact wording of his prior comments but I thought so; plus like the Dems already have a bill so he could have just signed on to that one
On his Facebook page, @RepSteveStivers, chair of the @NRCC, comes out against new Trump policy leading to more family separations:
@TimStone that makes perfect sense to me. Trump is just freely associating sentence fragments he heard somewhere else. He's pretty much a living Markov chain
@TimStone he wants to bring segregation back to the armed services
@puzzlepiece87 iirc, the main difference in the dem vs republican bills is that dem bills are "it's illegal to do this thing" and republican bills are "it's illegal to do this thing, also here are a bunch of immigration system changes we want to do + wall funding"
Sanders to Laura Bush: "Frankly this law was actually signed into effect in 2008 under her husband's leadership. Not under this administration" https://t.co/PFxfi5eFtU
My favourite part is the internal Bush family drama where everyone is surprisingly totally against this policy except George P Bush who has claimed Trump as his new cool dad
The World Health Organization Just updated its International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) 👀 http://www.who.int/health-topics/international-classification-of-diseases
Unbelievably, the Administration has chosen to no longer defend the law of the land that protects those with pre-existing conditions.
Once again, both Republican and Democrat governors are standing side by side against this disappointing decision.
> Trump administration on separating children from parents: "We should enforce all of the laws on the books." > Also Trump administration: "Except not that."
One thing we’re reminded of this week is the extent to which Trump has benefitted from good luck and a mostly benign set of objective circumstances.
Faced with an actual tough problem like an influx of refugees he has no idea what to do.
Even the Republicans have to know that this only gets worse. This will create an endless stream of horrible images and audio, as cynical as this sounds, that makes it impossible to defend in this age
@GodEmperorDune "Scott Pruitt hires aide for the express purpose of going to Dubai to buy thank-you cards for every member of the Department of Homeland Security for taking the limelight off of his scandals."
@GodEmperorDune I see you're not up on how Pruitt scandals. Let me fix that for you: "how scott pruitt built had his aides build a special cage in his office to personally help with the trump admin's immigration crisis"
