All Things Trump

[Seabass]

I've avoided reading about this separation thing that has been going on. Why exactly are kids being separated from their parents?

It's explained here:

In short, the Trump administration has enacted a policy whereby parents trying to enter with kids through our southern border are prosecuted as criminals. So the parents get taken into custody to await eventual deportation, while the kids are warehoused for a while and eventually put into foster care.

The purpose is to deter asylum seekers and migrants from trying to enter the US. Basically, terrorize brown people so they'll be afraid to come to the shining city on a hill.

'U.S. officially withdraws from U.N. Human Rights Council'

The U.S. is officially withdrawing from the U.N. Human Rights Council, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo jointly announced Tuesday.

Haley first threatened to leave the council in a U.N. speech last June, slamming its inclusion of human rights abusers such as Venezuela as council members and condemning what she said was anti-Israel bias. Haley cited that warning in her announcement Tuesday, saying the human rights group was "not worthy of its name," per NBC News.

"Human rights abusers continue to serve on and be elected to the council," Haley said. She also criticized the council's five resolutions against Israel this year, "more than the number passed against North Korea, Iran, and Syria combined."

The move comes just a day after the council's high commissioner bashed the U.S. for "forcibly" separating children and parents at the border, calling on the U.S. to end this "abuse." Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the new "zero tolerance" immigration policy last month.

Human rights are for haters and losers.

If you don't acknowledge human rights then you can't commit any human rights violations. Simple.

Human rights are PC nonsense for bleeding heart liberals.

We don’t have thousands of judges. In fact we have the Trump hiring freeze:

False claim: Thousands of judges
Trump said his administration was hiring "thousands and thousands" of immigration judges, that the US already has "thousands" of immigration judges and that other countries don't have immigration judges.

In reality, there the Justice Department's immigration courts division has 335 judges nationwide, with more than 100 more judges budgeted for, according to a DOJ spokesman.
Because of a massive backlog in the immigration courts, it can take years for those cases to work their way to completion, and many immigrants are allowed to work and live in the US in the meantime, putting down roots. The funding for immigration courts and judges has increased only modestly over the years as funding and resources for enforcement have increased dramatically. A proposal from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to address the family separation issue would double the number of judges to 750.

Coito Two hasn't been his usually chatty self today. Has the fat orange mound of shit finally done something too monstrous for even him to defend?

This stuff isn't important. What's important is that economic output is up, the gambling, sorry, I mean the stock market is up, and there's less people not working 1 hour a week. These are the important things. Overflowing the swamp, cosying up with dictators, and locking up innocent children are just not important.
