All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

So.......about Tammy Duckworth and Kamala Harris. Both have solid political experience and no real “skeletons” that could be exploited by opponents?

If "skeletons" had to be real Trump wouldn't be president.

Trump had more skeletons rampaging around than in the final battle from Jason and the Argonauts, and the orange bastard STILL won.

Sounds like Trump might be about to take up the pen and ending his child separation policy, at least temporarily. That's all I know.

It would have been nice if he had said what exactly he intends to sign.
Or maybe he doesn't know yet.

I’ll take that as a “no” to the latter half of the question. Now who’s the more charismatic/magnetic of the two?

Republicans have different kinds of skeletons, like secretly having a PhD, or showing empathy.

Current report is that the Zero tolerance policy stays in effect, but they found a way to arrest the parents without taking their children away...how I don't know.

I've always had to fight down vomit when I see Trump. He has a disgusting predator vibe.

But YMMV.

[Malvolio]

Trump is Lex Luthor. Has been since the 1980s. They almost have the same character arc, when you think about it.

This was never going to be sustainable. Too many administration lies, too many pictures and stories coming out that were not going to go down with the human nugget even in the GOP.
There was no good way to spin crying children and abandoned babies

If it wasn't for his money, Trump would've been just a loudmouthed, lowlife pervert from Queens who got himself killed decades ago by an outraged father protecting his daughter.

There is no bottom:

Immigrant children forcibly injected with drugs, lawsuit claims

President Donald Trump’s zero tolerance policy is creating a zombie army of children forcibly injected with medications that make them dizzy, listless, obese and even incapacitated, according to legal filings that show immigrant children in U.S. custody subdued with powerful psychiatric drugs.

Children held at Shiloh Treatment Center, a government contractor south of Houston that houses immigrant minors, described being held down and injected, according to the federal court filings. The lawsuit alleges that children were told they would not be released or see their parents unless they took medication and that they only were receiving vitamins.

Parents and the children themselves told attorneys the drugs rendered them unable to walk, afraid of people and wanting to sleep constantly, according to affidavits filed April 23 in U.S. District Court in California.

One mother said her child fell repeatedly, hitting her head, and ended up in a wheelchair. A child described trying to open a window and being hurled against a door by a Shiloh supervisor, who then choked her until she fainted.

“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist here; it looks like they’re trying to control agitation and aggressive behavior with antipsychotic drugs,” said Mills, who practices in the Washington, D.C., area and was an expert witness for a lawsuit that in 2008 stopped the federal government from forcibly administering antipsychotic drugs to deportees.

“You don’t need to administer these kinds of drugs unless someone is plucking out their eyeball or some such. The facility should not use these drugs to control behavior. That’s not what antipsychotics should be used for. That’s like the old Soviet Union used to do.”

Well according to a report Trump plans to sign an Executive order ending child separation once its drafted. But as someone pointed out , he really doesn't need to do that. Just give a call and tell them to stop this. Instead ya have someone who wants to play up to the press and all.

American Airlines told the government to f* off using them to transport the kidnapped kids

[Dalak]

Well I'm not the one who outright said that I was going to follow someone around and keep bringing up a disagreement we had because I didn't jump through his stupid little hoops and going through a long ass thread with a terrible search function to find all the comments of people venting about not voting for Sanders. They are there. Sorry that is creepy and obsessive behavior. And yeah he is displaying hallmark signs of someone with an inflated opinion of himself. It's almost like he got offended that I didn't get compelled to action to prove him wrong. Sorry he's just some dude on a message board. And he's the one who keeps pushing the issue but is to lazy to go back.

Buddy boy, I was here first so how can I follow you? Do I go to every thread you post in and 'stalk' you as claimed? No. I linger in here, and go to a few other threads to post when I have something to say. You could find maybe 2 threads outside this one where we've interacted by my guess.

I didn't make the claims you did and refused to back them up, and it's your place to prove them as a negative cannot be proven. It's not the job of other scientists to prove that a guy who publishes no paper is wrong after all. So if you say my calling your claim is a lie is wrong PROVE ME WRONG and I'll shut up and slink to the corner after admitting I'm wrong. Until then you are proving to me and everyone who reads this thread that you are lying and afraid to back up what you say due to it, while lashing out with insults like any Trump supporter who's been confronted with something they can't answer. Remember: It's not someone else's job to do your work for you.

Yup, totally the Dem's fault here. Didn't you hear that Obama personally hired all those doctors to inject kids 40 years ago?

Trump has to make everything involving himself a spectacle, this is nothing new.

A step in the right direction.

[Jack Dracula]

Confirmed. He just said he's signing an executive order.

What a hero. Now he'll begin taking credit for ending the horrible situation the Democrats created with their terrible laws.
