Everything you didn't want to know about Trump and were not afraid to ask

More assholery (but of course, she will have to do it but by some other route)
President Trump, speaking at a rally in Montana, challenged Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren to prove her Native American heritage.

"We will say, 'I will give you $1 million to her your charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you are an Indian and let's see what she does," the President told the crowd. "I have a feeling she will say no."

The Massachusetts senator has been a biting critic of Trump for some time. Trump has responded by repeatedly trying to belittle her as "Pocahontas."

Just heard a report on the news that Trump wants to impose tariffs on half a trillion dollars of Chinese imports. So basically everything that the US imports from China per year. He's a real stable genius, isn't he?

"Secure the border", eh?

AP NewsBreak: US Army quietly discharging immigrant recruits

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some immigrant U.S. Army reservists and recruits who enlisted in the military with a promised path to citizenship are being abruptly discharged, the Associated Press has learned.

The AP was unable to quantify how many men and women who enlisted through the special recruitment program have been booted from the Army, but immigration attorneys say they know of more than 40 who have been discharged or whose status has become questionable, jeopardizing their futures.

“It was my dream to serve in the military,” said reservist Lucas Calixto, a Brazilian immigrant who filed a lawsuit against the Army last week. “Since this country has been so good to me, I thought it was the least I could do to give back to my adopted country and serve in the United States military.”

Some of the service members say they were not told why they were being discharged. Others who pressed for answers said the Army informed them they’d been labeled as security risks because they have relatives abroad or because the Defense Department had not completed background checks on them.

Spokespeople for the Pentagon and the Army said that, due to the pending litigation, they were unable to explain the discharges or respond to questions about whether there have been policy changes in any of the military branches.

A Twitter chronicle of recent logorhea/blithering from colossal asshat Il Douche, the stable genius. I'll quote a few, but there are a lot of items for sycophants to cheer and the rest of us to disdain:

Trump interrupts his criticism of [Democratic Senator] Tester to criticize John McCain's Obamacare vote, as he has at every recent rally and several other recent events.

...

Trump is, as always, highly misleading about the estate tax, saying farmers can now happily leave their farms to their children. Per the Tax Policy Center, a mere 80 farms and small businesses were among the 5,460 estates likely to pay the estate tax in 2017, before Trump's law.

...

Trump claims that Obama would have loved to meet North Korea's leader but "they wouldn't see him." He says this was one of the first questions he asked (the North Koreans?) when he was "over there," and they confirmed, "they wouldn't see him."

...

Trump mocks his critics for saying "'President Putin is KGB' and this and that. You know what? Putin's fine."

...

Trump, who has sought to cut legal immigration, calls for more legal immigration: "We need people! We don't have the workers anymore!...We need people that come in under the merit system."

In that last one, I suspect that he's thinking about criticism he's received for getting visas to bring in guest workers as temporary staff at his Florida compound while consistently failing to offer the jobs to local citizens.

Perhaps he just prefers darkies to serve him cocktails, turn down his beds, and tend his gardens?

You must psy! Trumprfuhrer knows what he is doing! It’s a noble cause!

The Trump administration's 25% tariffs affect more than 800 Chinese products worth $34 billion such as industrial machinery, medical devices and auto parts. They kicked in just after midnight ET, which is noon in Beijing.
China's tariffs on US goods came into effect immediately afterward, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Friday.

I hear that those tariffs will affect computer products, given that China has a near monopoly on manufacturing those, I wonder how he'll justify the sudden rise in price of computerised devices.

Does he use an iPhone or android? A year ago it was an iPhone

By the way, thank you, Tero. Personally I didn't find it hard to call out obvious examples of plagiarism which at least in some cases have been an undifferentiated blending of actual writing with copy-pasting, as opposed to your failure to cite sources in which it was clear (at least to me) that you were presenting something from a source rather than passing it off as your own writing. Still, it's better to have a link to the source.

It's the Internet! The internet IS plagiarism! Just like Trump and the Kardashians are a reality show, bit bigger stage for Trump.

Christopher Zullo at Twitter:
Donald Trump and Republicans trying to paint immigrants as MS-13 gang members is the problem. He blatantly ignores fact that MS-13 membership is primarily U.S. citizens and the unprecedented action Obama took against them. But that wouldn’t fit their narrative
