And the crazy North Korea has apparently tested another nuke.
Is there any way we could send in seal team six?
My understanding is that several members of the Seal Team Six that killed Bin Laden died in a helicopter crash quite some time ago.
chyron just put a big Ric pic in your sig and be done with it.
Well that is unfortunate.

President Donald Trump has decided to end the Obama-era program that grants work permits to undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children, according to two sources familiar with his thinking. Senior White House aides huddled Sunday afternoon to discuss the rollout of a decision likely to ignite a political firestorm — and fulfill one of the president’s core campaign promises.
Trump has wrestled for months with whether to do away with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, known as DACA. He has faced strong warnings from members of his own party not to scrap the program and struggled with his own misgivings about targeting minors for deportation.
Conversations with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who argued that Congress — rather than the executive branch — is responsible for writing immigration law, helped persuade the president to terminate the program, the two sources said, though White House aides caution that — as with everything in the Trump White House — nothing is set in stone until an official announcement has been made.
In a nod to reservations held by many lawmakers, the White House plans to delay the enforcement of the president’s decision for six months, giving Congress a window to act, according to one White House official. But a senior White House aide said that chief of staff John Kelly, who has been running the West Wing policy process on the issue, “thinks Congress should’ve gotten its act together a lot longer ago.”
Trump is expected to announce his decision on Tuesday, and the White House informed House Speaker Paul Ryan of the president’s decision on Sunday morning, according to a source close to the administration. Ryan had said during a radio interview on Friday that he didn’t think the president should terminate DACA, and that Congress should act on the issue.
Oh hell no.

I’m glad to see that Sessions isn’t slacking when it comes to being the worst person in the White House.

Yeah this is a shitty idea, I pray it doesn’t happen.
I spent a little time today looking at our racial flareup that took place on page 396 to page 414 of this thread. I do this sort of thing every once and awhile after there has been some distance. I like to see if I can gain any wisdom/insight by re-reading and reconsidering these things.
Thought maybe people here might like to know/be interested, that I do that.

Did you, in this case? Don’t leave me hanging.

Grammar tip: you don’t need a comma in between “interested” and “that I do that.” You’re not joining two clauses there.

I have not as of yet changed my opinions about giving my opinion on racial issues, if that is what you mean. Maybe if I had to do over again, I would say some things differently. Maybe I wouldn’t say some things and maybe there are things I wish I had said. I am still thinking about it.
I will say that I never realized just how many typos I made in that debate. I have to be more careful.

ok.
Well, I think that’s a benefit of hindsight in general, that you’d phrase things differently. Going into a discussion, you really don’t know which words or phrases are going to either set someone off or go totally unnoticed. Knowing the outcome allows you to do things like “well, what I meant was this, but it got interpreted as that, so I’d say it differently to avoid that whole thing”. Which can be helpful in time for the next discussion, and so I’m glad to hear when people do it.
Because eventually Bill Murray figured a way out of Groundhog Day, right? 😉
Exactly.

IMO if you lose your congregation over something like this, your congregation was beyond salvation anyway. Godspeed, Mr. Lee.
The Trump administration announced Tuesday it would begin to unwind an Obama-era program that allows younger undocumented immigrants to live in the country without fear of deportation, calling the program unconstitutional but offering a partial delay to give Congress a chance to address the issue.
The decision, after weeks of intense deliberation between President Trump and his top advisers, represents a blow to hundreds of thousands of immigrants known as “dreamers” who have lived in the country illegally since they were children. But it also allows the White House to shift some of the pressure and burden of determining their future onto Congress, setting up a public fight over their legal status that is likely to be waged for months.
In announcing the decision at the Justice Department, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that former president Barack Obama, who started the program in 2012 through executive action, “sought to achieve specifically what the legislative branch refused to do.”
He called it an “open-ended circumvention of immigration law through unconstitutional authority by the executive branch,” and said the program was unlikely to withstand court scrutiny.
Trump issued a statement saying Obama made “an end-run around Congress” that violated “the core tenets that sustain our Republic.” He added that there can be “no path to principled immigration reform if the executive branch is able to rewrite or nullify federal laws at will.”
“I’m killing another Obama thing and also playing to my base while putting in a delay of implementation so that I can blame congress if it ends up dying and take credit for doing things in line with the core tenants that sustain our Republic if it survives. Also someone told me what to do, I just wanted to know if I would win or not.”

That’s the problem with putting a real estate developer in charge, right there.

Looks like a Trump sock account.
There is not a single good reason to end DACA. What a bunch of fucking assholes.

absolutely correct.
I believe “A Bunch of Fucking Assholes” is the new White House motto.
They should put ABOFA on a hat already.

Agreed, should be “Make America Gorram Assholes”, no again.
The generator did not give me the choice over “again.”
