California to become sanctuary state

That Mother of all Rallies = epic fail!

cozie I am a Californian and I think this is wonderful. I am so proud of my legislators. Immigrants (legal and undocumented) are a large part of our economy, especially in agriculture. It would be unbelievably hypocritical of us to cheerfully accept the sweat of their labours in our fields, homes, and businesses, but then deny them what protection we can offer.

Was Trump himself to be there, lion? If he wasn't scheduled, he'll likely persuade himself that it's him that makes the difference. (Or that it didn't happen.)

AcrossthePond55 · 16/09/2017 21:46

Tee Hee Hee at those 'yuge' rally crowds!!

It's incredible, folks, just unbelievable! They're turning them away, people! Capacity crowds!! Trump loves you all!!! MAGA!!!

cozietoesie · 16/09/2017 21:52

I suspect that the adverts didn't help. Wink

I don't think so cozie. Here is their call to the patriots.

Good for you, lion. (From the sound of it.)

lionheart · 16/09/2017 22:42

Juggalos also marching in DC. I've never heard of them before but I have looked at some pictures and now my head hurts. Smile

The MOAR non-crowd is bloody hilarious.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 16/09/2017 22:46

Well, this seems to be a bit of a 'jumping on the bandwagon'/'we don't really want to but we have to'/self-promotion sort of thing - but the connected interview is irresistible nevertheless Smile

You can all - as an intellectual exercise - imagine how Huckleberry is going to answer questions about it? (If they have a presser of course. Grin)

lionheart · 16/09/2017 22:52

Will they let Huckleberry on again? Her legal fees are going to be enormous.

cozietoesie · 16/09/2017 23:02

I doubt they'll have a televised presser for.......some time now.

cozietoesie · 16/09/2017 23:03

Solipsistic reality.........

Interesting piece.

Trump's digital contractor is, a year later, bragging about using Facebook on behalf of Russia. SOLID WORK!

Thanks for the Siskind update, Pain. Smile

AcrossthePond55 · 17/09/2017 00:44

IDK, this is getting spooky. First an apparent 'give' on DACA, now (possibly) on the Paris Accord. Trump gives (faint) praise to some Dems in Congress. Some of his 'donations' have actually been made. What is he planning? Something big must be in the wind. Is he planning some sort of horrible action and is trying to lull us into a sense of complacency or could this all be 'buttering up' Dems in Congress because he fears an impeachment hearing after Mueller is done with his investigation and thinks he can get on their 'good side' by flattery?

It's just weird.
