Not sure who is "making excuses for Trump", but when you look at the over the top insane reaction of the Left to the parade and to his one mistake in his speech, it's hard not to start to feel a bit of empathy. The Left is really looking bitter and disgusting, and it's the ones that are looking foolish are the ones making excuses for the constant whining and stupidity. All this is leading to is the inevitable Trump victory in 2020. And AOC, following the same path as Trump, will probably win in 2024, using the same bombastic lies as him, with the same rabid unapologetic and unthinking fan base. And then it will be the Right's turn to look as foolish as the Left is looking right now.

Re: Trump Administration: First Hundred Days and Beyond.
I had to read that twice, I really did. Hard not to compare to our own situation up here, no? Bitter wailing from the Right when Harper lost. It's just sad because JT hasn't lived up as promised or hoped, and neither has Trump. Nope, North America is screwed with a government in Mexico which can not control Cartels. I hate to think what we'll look like by 2024.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Re: Trump Administration: First Hundred Days and Beyond.
Well its a small start.
Acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ken Cuccinelli says the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is ready to deport about a million illegal aliens who remain in the country despite having final orders for deportation.
During an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Cuccinelli said despite a delay of mass deportations by President Trump two weeks ago, ICE agents are ready to detain and deport the roughly one million illegal aliens who have been ordered deported from the country.
Cuccinelli said:
[ICE agents are] ready to just perform their mission which is to go and find and detain and then deport the approximately one million people who have final removal orders. They’ve been all the way through the due process and have final removal orders. Who among those will be targeted for this particular effort or not is really just information kept within ICE. [Emphasis added]
Cuccinelli said mass deportations by ICE of illegal aliens with final deportation orders “should be going on on a rolling basis” and blamed “the politics of Washington” for interfering with ICE operations.
“I’m just pointing out that the pool of those with final removal orders is enormous,” Cuccinelli said. “It’s important to note, here we are talking about ICE doing its job as if it’s special. And really this should be going on on a rolling basis for ICE and they’ve been interfered with, effectively, and held up by the politics of Washington to a certain extent…”
Trump, last month, delayed a plan by ICE to mass deport about 2,000 illegal aliens who had final deportation orders after details of the operation were leaked to the media. Former ICE Director Thomas Homan accused Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kevin McAleenan of leaking the plans of the ICE raid in order to halt the operation.
Though Trump gave Congress two weeks to devise a plan to close loopholes in the country’s asylum system — loopholes that have invited millions of border crossers to the U.S. over the last decade — no such plan has been crafted that would pass the House and Senate.

Re: Trump Administration: First Hundred Days and Beyond.
Do you know why Trump called the mass deportation off? It's because he didn't want another egg on his face because ICE simply can't do the job. It's about logistics, manpower, money and PR. The British Ambassador got it right, Trump is inept, incompetent and just a plain DUNCE.

So then it should be easy for the Democrats to win the next election, without having to offer all of those free multi-trillion dollar goodies to the electorate.

Re: Trump Administration: First Hundred Days and Beyond.
The latest Harvard/Harris poll finds that 51 percent of American voters say they support mass deportations of the 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. should Congress fail to reach a deal that closes loopholes in the asylum system.
More than 8-in-10 Republican voters, as well as more than 5-in-10 swing voters, said President Trump should carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens following Congressional inaction. Nearly 9-in-10 Trump supporters said the same.

This is a woman who didn't hesitate to pretend she was outside a detention center in a faked photo shoot.
Are you talking about this?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/aoc-empty-parking-lot/
Nothing was faked.
I stand corrected about the location and event details re the shoot. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Perhaps AOC genuinely was that anguished by her imaginings about what was going on in the detention center far beyond her view, with children she couldn't actually see and employees she couldn't actually see. Would that she were as anguished about how her efforts to withhold goods and services and smear those front-line workers would only worsen their situation, but alas for the refugee children, no sacrifice is too great for her anti-Trump-anti-capitalism cause.
Having pursued this, I stand by my assertion AOC has used these photos in a manipulative way.
Aguirre sent take-down notices to various publications and social media gadflies for copyright violations.
One wonders if he had given AOC permission to use his images? Snopes is silent on this. One wonders if those who took the time to get to the bottom of this will apply the same attention to AOC's assertions about toilet water.
Kudos to the folk who are consistently able to separate fact from manipulation, regardless of who is doing the manipulation.
AOC is using the detention centers as part of her anti-border, anti-capitalism, and anti-Trump-at-all-cost agenda. It is every bit as difficult to believe verbatim anything Trump or AOC says. Both are prone to ridiculous exaggeration to further their aims.

It does beg the question though - why did the *removed Obama and the *removed Democrats drop the question from the census?

Re: Trump Administration: First Hundred Days and Beyond.
I think you need a history lesson. If your writing about the citizenship question in the US, it was dropped in 1950. I'm pretty sure "look over there" Obama wasn't around then as the President.

"A prescient propagandist", Roger Ailes, once predicted that political parties would eventually become TV stations. The latest tweet storm from Trump yet again demonstrates that this is exactly what has occured with Fox and the Republican party.

Ailes wasn't simply a bystander in making his prediction come true, he "helped create this nightmare world".

Ailes wasn't simply a bystander in making his prediction come true, he "helped create this nightmare world".
In his 1970 memo, Ailes wrote: “Today television news is watched more often than people read newspapers, than people listen to the radio, than people read or gather any other form of communication. The reason: people are lazy. With television you just sit – watch – listen. The thinking is done for you.”

Funny that you single out Fox, a right leaning news outlet. In your bias you fail to mention CNN, along with the other far left msm outlets, including our own Global National. Curious as to how you figure a President maintains a mid 40s approval rating when 92% of the msm media new stories, and opinion pieces are negative?

People in the US are realizing that all the left wing blah blah blah is full of nonsensical garbage. They want jobs, money in their pockets and their retirement funds to be healthy. DT said he would do this and has done it like no one before.
I don't like him as a person, arrogant and boisterous, but the numbers are exceptional.
