A patriot.

Well by his own lights, he can't say much. Wink

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/alabama-abortion-crime-pregnancy-trump-administration-us-a8854716.html

'Alabama is proposing a law that would make carrying out an abortion at any stage of the pregnancy punishable by 10 to 99 years in jail.

The strict abortion ban, which has been branded a “death sentence for women”, would even criminalise performing abortions in cases of rape and incest.'

Reign, regime - starting to refer to the ADMINISTRATION in this way is troubling. (This was a Fox talking head BTW.)

Josh Marshall @joshtpm
lol. Foxer: Trump "will be at the border tomorrow, looking at beginning of the wall that was built under his REIGN."

What the hell? Are these the bit of fence that were already there and to which the 'regime' has added a fake plaque?

Interesting point about press coverage of male and female candidates.

Cohen.

edition.cnn.com/2019/04/04/politics/michael-cohen-letter/index.html

'Cohen's attorneys Lanny Davis and Michael Monico told lawmakers in a letter Thursday that Cohen has discovered substantial files on a hard drive that might be helpful to investigators.'

He's like a cat on a hot tin roof when it comes to tax..........

He's going to need more rallies.

Tricky.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-47826106#

'Saudi Arabia has detained at least seven people, including two dual US-Saudi citizens and a pregnant woman, a London-based rights group says.

Those arrested are not said to be frontline activists, but writers and bloggers who have discussed reform.

They had already been under a travel ban since February, rights group ALQST says.

The latest arrests come amid concern at the fate of activists already in prison after pushing for women's rights.

Ten women's rights campaigners were put on trial last month following a crackdown beginning in 2018. Three were released last week on bail.'

That fucking plaque won't last 2 minutes before it's pulled up and thrown into the bushes. Hell, I'd do it myself if I still lived close enough.

Wankers

I thought there was a decent trade in stolen razor wire at some parts of the border. Smile

14 million files 😲
So Michael Cohen is going to sing like the proverbial canary
Should be an interesting tune?

Hearhere · 05/04/2019 22:47

look at the smirk on his fucking face

Alex Acosta did not deny that he broke the law when he made a plea bargain deal with sex trafficker and child rapist Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire friend of Trump's.

Another page out of the fascist playbook. (Not that he reads.)

I think this was clumsily phrased - he was referring to a subset of asylum seekers, supposed criminals - but it is never okay to call a human an animal. Additionally, claiming asylum is a legal right. He is very, very wrong on all counts and a deeply disturbed individual.

on people asking for asylum "These aren't people. These are animals."

TheNorthWestPawsage · 06/04/2019 08:26

his business - you know the thing he isn't supposed to have any direct influence on as Pres.

NEW: @realDonaldTrump will make a side trip tonight to his Calif. golf club to eat w/son Eric, the city council, and local supporters. Not a fundraiser. Just a trip to see his business.

Also, guests have to pay @realDonaldTrump for their food.

It's bad enough to say 'these people are animals' but to say 'these aren't people they are animals' is much worse
it may look like the same phrase but it's been spun

Listening to this now, finding it very interesting!
