I see Nikki Haley had a bit of a time of it when giving a speech at the university in Houston.

cozietoesie · 26/05/2018 16:26

I can't read .Natalia's name without seeing Mr Colbert's eyebrows twitching. Grin

That Nikki Haley clip was great, saw it this morning.

There was an interesting thread on Twitter this morning about an address by Trump to US Navy. Every other sentence was a lie. From bragging about the payrise he was giving them, to the number of ships he was commissioning. All lies.

I have to say the applause was very muted. I do hope people are catching on.

Roussette · 26/05/2018 16:49

I want to cut Trumpy Bear's head off.

Roussette · 26/05/2018 16:57

Here is some of his lies...

And more lies from him blaming the Dems for taking children from a parent at the border.

Thanks for that Haley clip, lion. Really cheered me up! Let's hope there is more.
I'm glad Scumbucket got a restrained response at Annapolis. I pray for the day when co-ordinated shouts of 'Liar' resound every time he speaks to a non-cult event.

Speaking of lies and how they are turned into "truths".

It's the first 1.5 min.

Roussette · 26/05/2018 18:23

'Know the truth and spread it'. taken from that clip.

We are doing our small part here.

Lweji · 26/05/2018 18:32

Yes we are. Grin

God, I hope so.

I thought this Trump administration had topped out its power to appall me, but the child separations and the 1,500 lost children has horrified me. Awful. Sad Sad Sad

Of course, they're not mutually exclusive. Grin

cozietoesie · 26/05/2018 20:25

I love that old story about mud-wrestling with pigs. Wink

That story about Bannon having a shadow press office is from last year, when he was still on the White House staff.

Of course, if he broke the law, he broke the law and could presumably still be prosecuted for it.

Said Norm Eisen, ethics czar during the Obama administration: "She seems to be privy to government information, and she appears to be acting on behalf of a government entity, either Bannon or the White House Press Office. If she's doing it for free, then that is a potential violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act."

To date, no one has ever been convicted or indicted for violating the Anti-Deficiency Act, and most of the dozen or so violations reported each year result in little more than administrative penalties. Still, a "knowing and willful violation" of the Anti-Deficiency Act is a Class E felony, punishable by a "$5,000 fine, confinement for up to two years, or both."

' .... once immigrant families, many asylum seekers from Central America, are separated at the border, they struggle to find each other among the three behemoth federal agencies in charge of their care. Advocates say few procedures are in place to ensure they reunify. .....'
' ..... After they are removed from their parents, children are deemed "unaccompanied" and placed in the custody of Health and Human Services, which houses minors in federal shelters until it can release them to relatives or provide long-term foster care.

Patrick Fisher, a spokesman for that agency’s Office of Refugee Resettlement in charge of migrant children, said in a statement that the agency works with Homeland Security and other authorities to find parents. He said it has done so in about 700 cases between October and April where parents were in DHS custody. The agency couldn’t say how many were reunified, saying that data is not “in a reportable format.” It didn’t track separations before that period.

Fisher said the agency is “not routinely informed about how or when the (unaccompanied child) became separated from their parent(s) or the whereabouts of the parents.” '
