Same reason they did not bite the apple when back in the 1990s the Office of Nuclear Waste Negotiator wanted to build temporary nuclear waste holding facilities in America. Turns out the wealthy also don’t want incinerators in their neighborhoods. They don’t live where the rest of us do.

They are such monsters. They detained a non-verbal 15 year old with autism too.

I think Trump handled the cease fire well. But that is a single win within an ocean of mistakes and crimes. I am glad the violence has stopped between Israel and Gaza. But it does not excuse the violence he is perpetuating here and in the Caribbean.

We need to stop defending Antifa and start accusing them of being Profa.

We have no idea who they are killing through these extrajudicial murders. And the snuff films they attach are grotesque. This is not my country.

He wants to start a war in Venezuela for no other reason than racism. This is some Hitler shit.

Anyone who thought Trump was anti war is a sucker.

I have this image of Melania and Donald stuffing their bags with towels and complimentary shampoo and soap when they travel. They probably stole antiques from Buckingham Palace. “Hey, Melania - stuff this beeyooteeefulll sterling fork under your giant hat!”

Or send 20 billion to Argentina in exchange for their worthless pesos so they can scoop up the American soybean market and sell their soybeans to China. Who now realize they have an alternative to the Trump tariffs. Are we winning yet? America first?

This is right up there with LA having to declare a state of emergency and the federal government is responsible for the emergency. JFC. Can things get crazier than the Trump admin warning about the Trump admin?

They are going to force prisoners and detainees to pick crops, I bet.

Read that first sentence. This is how insane things are. Trump admin is warning us about Trump admin.

No duh!

The trump administration quietly issued a dire warning about the president’s immigration crackdown, admitting that it risks food shortages and that American workers will not step up to fill labor needs.

The Labor Department's filing also admitted that Americans are not willing to replace undocumented farmworkers.
