Shadow Immigration System: Migrant Children Detained In Hotels By Private Contractors https://www.npr.org/2020/08/20/904027735/shadow-immigration-system-migrant-children-detained-in-hotels-by-private-contrac?sc=18&f=904027735

That is some high level gestapo shit right there.

The video of a local lawyer trying to gain access to the children, and being rough-housed into the lift/elevator by assorted "heavies" was circulating on the so-shull medias in mid-July

Biden is senile, you guys, we can't elect him. Let's re-elect the very sharp and not at all fading away man who says, "You know what I say? Protesters, your ass. I don’t talk about my ass," instead. Also:

Nothing new, just a reminder that Trump is using his office to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars towards the businesses he refuses to divest himself from. Haha, remember when the argument was that Trump was too rich to be tempted to chase money? What a joke.

My favorite quote.

“Over the past three and a half years, we have gone to tremendous lengths to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, not due to any legal requirement, but because of the respect we have towards the office of the Presidency,” Eric Trump, the president’s son, said in a statement.

They should have added: Who works in the white house as an advisor to the presdient while running his father's business.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

In the news today;

Trump-branded hotel in Vancouver closes after just THREE YEARS, citing bankruptcy.

Trump supporters form a vehicle caravan through downtown Portland. One person has been shot and killed. Organisers actively encouraged participants to conceal-carry firearms, but some open-carried. Trump-flagged and bannered vehicles were seen to be driving at pedestrians, speeding along crowded city streets, bystanders were shot at with paintballs and were pepper-sprayed. At least one gun-bearer was seen to be confronted by police and disarmed, but they managed to refrain from shooting him seven times before disarming him ... can anyone guess why?

I have a guess. Was he white?

Trump is a wanna be Stalin:

Fix the kids by teaching them America is the best.  Despite it, ya know, being terrible before Trump.

This is just so weird. Even for Trump it seems to have come out of nowhere. I can't help but wonder if this has something to do with the speculation that Jr was on coke at the convention last week.

Nah.  According to the article, he did the same in 2016.  He's just doing what worked last time in the assumption it will work now.

Also, he doesn't understand the word 'practice'.

Oh it does say that. Heh. So it's just more Trump crazy.

It's funny, I remember in the 2016 debates there was speculation he was on coke. It's still funny that he made this demand immediately after the accusations toward his son.

And that is the problem we have on both sides.  If you don't march to the exact tune your party demands you are an outcast. 
Do you have a citation for this sweeping generalisation?

Trump urges NC voters to vote by mail AND in person.  Just to make sure it counted.  Because the security measures will ensure its not counted twice so its ok to do it.

I guess we've reached a point where Trump doesn't even care to hide his racist nature and that of his followers. Good for him.

I read the article but I don't understand why this is considered racist. Could you elaborate?

No, because I believe you're intelligent enough to figure it out for yourself.

It's not really racism so much as it is deliberate anti-progressivism for the benefit of his base. Trump almost certainly knows nothing about the training beyond what he's heard in the right-wing media that first reported on this, and I have no doubt that said reporting quote-mined and twisted the contents of the training to make it sound as awful as possible. It's an ugly gesture, but in the long run it won't mean much. This kind of training is more about protecting employers in case of a lawsuit than it is about actually educating employees. People who already agree with it don't need it, and the people who don't agree with it are just going to mock it.

It appears that a number of boats were sunk in the Texas "Trump Boat Parade" because the rich folk with the bigger boats ignored the poor folk with the smaller boats and just made waves anyway.

A clearer metaphor for the Trump base there could not be.

Ah, yes, the equivalent of the "do your own research" response. "I don't have to explain the things I think because explaining things is too hard." Just admit you're parroting talking points and that you yourself didn't even read that article.

Describe to me what the training contains.

In a shocking event for a Tumeni post, that's not what actually happened. The event attracted a ludicrous number of boats, to the point where the wake was not controllable.
