A President repeatedly suggesting to do away with due process is a dangerous President

How everyone who spouts bullshit on the news should be rebuked. I won't limit this to just Trump mouthpieces though they are most deserving of it.

Watch this Trump surrogate get fact-checked in real-time by video footage.

This is what needs to happen at every press briefing, every debate, and every Trump interview.

You have the receipts. Use them.

Did she ever tweet it?

Hiring manythousands of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go - will always be disfunctional. People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. Children brought back to their country......

manythousands is a cool word

Yes because that's the only thing wrong with what was written...

I was waiting on him to finish his thought in the next tweet

But its been 8 minutes and no follow up

Did he pass out on the toilet?

....If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in its tracks - and at very little, by comparison, cost. This is the only real answer - and we must continue to BUILD THE WALL!

Took 10 minutes but we got the rest.

What a bunch of nonsense.
---

Also if just telling people they cant come in will stop illegal immigration in its tracks, why do we need a wall?

Trump haters still havent realized how much they help him with their condescension of those who either voted for him or dont share their hatred of him. And how much they help him with their irrational hostility towards those who work for him.

I find it hilarious that Trump RTed this

Like yeah if you want to beat me, listen to Marco!

No, he isnt. What hes advocating is blatantly unconstitutional. Without due process theres nothing stopping ICE from picking you up and deporting you to, say, Syria.

I mean, if you needed any more evidence that "law and order" is actually coded language, the "law and order" candidate declaring we should do away with due process is likely as clear as you're going to get.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

Sounds like he wants people to find a 2nd Amendment solution to this problem

It really pisses me off that the same sentiment never applies to Obama and the Democrats. Liberals behave far more maturely and have thicker skin than conservatives, and thats a BAD thing in todays political climate.

i still love the irony of trump calling anyone "an extraordinarily low IQ person."

Surprised that Harley-Davidson, of all companies, would be the first to wave the White Flag. I fought hard for them and ultimately they will not pay tariffs selling into the E.U., which has hurt us badly on trade, down $151 Billion. Taxes just a Harley excuse - be patient! #MAGA

Taxes are just an excuse for why they want to take their manufacturing elsewhere? Isnt that the whole point?

i guess, at least, it's not like "i love trump, he is infallible"

and more just like "he's shaking things up and that's a good thing" which, reduced to that level isn't the worst take to have

but this is fairly upsetting, not gonna lie

He is undecided about Donald Trump. He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way. While Trump may not be doing a good job himself, Lynch thinks, he is opening up a space where other outsiders might. Our so-called leaders cant take the country forward, cant get anything done. Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this.

Unsurprisingly, Breitbart conveniently snipped that middle part in their article about it.

i hate that "no one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way" crap, though. yeah, because when you try to counter him intelligently he just interrupts you with "WROOOOOOOOOONG" - not much you can do to win that battle. unfortunately this is a problem that goes beyond trump. often in debates you'll see people applaud a person for "winning" the debate just because they were the loudest and out-shouted their opponent.

also, it could be because english isn't my first language, but "like children they are" sounds like yoda-speak to me.

well, that's kind of just how david lynch speaks. yoda-esque isn't far from the truth.

Yoda is grammatically correct, he just speaks in subject/predicate sentence inversion

Quote from SHS about Trumps desire to eliminate immigration judges

"Just because you don't see a judge doesn't mean you aren't receiving due process," she said.

That doesnt seem right to me, but I am willing to ask the topic if thats actually true in a legal sense.

No.

I really hope this is actually legal though I doubt it will hold up.

I was just reminded that many of the same republicans who are mad that people would dare heckle people that work for Trump in public also supported this guy even after he assaulted a reporter on tape

I'd just like for the press to mention at the press briefings/an interview the multiple instances of Trump encouraging violence at his campaign rallies.

The president: "Some people have said I have the greatest political instincts in 50 years. I don't think so. But I have my own feeling."

Ironically the one compliment that he gives himself that might actually be true, he downplays!

You know what hasnt happened in awhile? Someone high profile leaving the administration.

Does he finally have his Cabinet together?

So...someone showed me this earlier:

https://www.roanoke.com/webmin/news/radford-bakery-that-turned-biden-away-sells-out-of-freedom/article_806b06ac-b68b-58ca-be58-5a46a0461bb5.html

It's a bakery, that refused to serve Joe Biden. I literally don't even remember this story happened, as it didn't seem important at the time.

And conservatives celebrated it, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan brought the baker along on the campaign trail.

Kinda puts the SHS being refused service stuff into perspective.

Something that earlier thread about Trumps rally missed:

https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1011438138986819584?s=21

TRUMP: "Polls are fake news also. It's called suppression. They put out these horrible polls, and then they hope that everybody is gonna say, 'I like Trump but he has no chance'...it should be illegal"

Literally saying polls should be illegal

On the Harley Davidson stuff--one interesting detail that's easy to miss--most of the production is shifting from the US to Thailand.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2018/05/11/union-harley-davidson-ship-work-thailand-closing-u-s-plant/601033002/

I've seen a lot of people just reading the headlines about EU tarrifs, and thinking they're moving produciton to the EU. Harley actually has zero EU factories, and doesn't seem to have any public plans to make EU factories. Most of their factories are in the US, with the next largest being in Australia, followed by Brazil and India. (The Thailand facility has not opened yet, but it sounds like it could be large if they're replacing their Kansas facility with it).
