All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[JimC]

Just ban him?

We only suspend people, for certain lengths of time...

How old is Cunt, anyway?

Perhaps a 30 year suspension for a first offence on returning? ...

Nah, too drastic. 29...

we might need an after Trump thread, for the post Trump effects

Trump administration settles immigration suit from U.S. women detained after speaking Spanish
Two U.S. women who were detained by Customs and Border Protection after they spoke Spanish at a convenience store in Montana more than two years ago have reached a settlement in their lawsuit against the Trump administration, the American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday.

The women, Ana Suda and Martha "Mimi" Hernandez, both U.S. citizens, were chatting in Spanish as they went to buy eggs and milk on the night of May 16, 2018, in Havre, a small town about 35 miles from the Canadian border. That's when a Border Patrol agent overheard them, Suda has said previously.
The lawsuit, which the ACLU filed last year on behalf of Suda and Hernandez, cites violations of the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits "unreasonable searches and seizures." The ACLU argued that O'Neal had "no reasonable suspicion or probable cause justifying seizure and detention" other than "relying on their use of Spanish as a justification and proxy for race."

During the litigation process, O'Neal also handed over "a number of inflammatory and racist text messages confirming his anti-immigrant bias," according to the ACLU.

'Trump Races to Weaken Environmental and Worker Protections, and Implement Other Last-Minute Policies, Before Jan. 20'

Six days after President Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture notified food safety groups that it was proposing a regulatory change to speed up chicken factory processing lines, a change that would allow companies to sell more birds. An earlier USDA effort had broken down on concerns that it could lead to more worker injuries and make it harder to stop germs like salmonella.

Ordinarily, a change like this would take about two years to go through the cumbersome legal process of making new federal regulations. But the timing has alarmed food and worker safety advocates, who suspect the Trump administration wants to rush through this rule in its waning days.

Even as Trump and his allies officially refuse to concede the Nov. 3 election, the White House and federal agencies are hurrying to finish dozens of regulatory changes before Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20. The rules range from long-simmering administration priorities to last-minute scrambles and affect everything from creature comforts like showerheads and clothes washers to life-or-death issues like federal executions and international refugees. They impact everyone from the most powerful, such as oil drillers, drugmakers and tech startups, to the most vulnerable, such as families on food stamps, transgender people in homeless shelters, migrant workers and endangered species.

How much of those changes can be switched back early in Biden's presidency?

So he's pardoned Flynn. Republicans should be reminded about that every time they say 'law and order'.

In the Fox News fantasy realm, Flynn is innocent. A victim of the corrupt Obama-Clinton machine.

A victim who pleaded guilty.

Colbert Obama interview:
Colbert reminded Obama about the gracious way he invited his successor into the White House for a meeting and photo-op shortly after the 2016 election. The host said it was a “chilling moment” to watch because he had an “emotional flash” of all the ways Trump could abuse the “dignity of the office” over his first term. “Were you having a similar feeling in that moment?” he asked.

"Yeah, it was a concern,” Obama answered. When Colbert asked if those concerns were “borne out,” Obama said they were “exceeded.”

Trump says to gather and pray and mentions churches

But, Thanksgiving is not a church holiday in normal years. Maybe the Sunday before it is part of ceremonies.

Also some churches, in normal years, get into feeding the poor.

And, normally, there is football, then college football Fri.

[Brian Peacock]

Why stop at college football? Why not high school football or little league? Go the whole hog America!

A lot of mostly old people swore off of NFL football over the kneeling. No hair off my back, I don't follow it.
