Yes we're seeing how ugly and logic-impaired the post-truth era can get.   Maria Bartiromo makes me want to remove the "bart" from my forum handle.   But no,  where would that madness end - famous doctor named Clara On?   Film titled "On Fink"?  A mischievous cartoon boy with only a last name?  Anarchist named Olomeo Vanzetti?  No,  the worthy Barts must carry on,  unstained and unbowed.

---5-4 Supreme Court allows rule that could reshape legal immigration to take effect---


https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/27/politics/supreme-court-immigration-public-charge/index.html

Just say no to anchor babies. Yes to housing and social programs for Americans first.

Kick out Barron Trump and his mom.
I don’t think you understand the specific ruling by the court.

No question they are already a public burden. Their family also has no money and very little prospect of legally earning any so a public charge they will remain.

---SUPREME COURT
In 5-4 ruling, Supreme Court allows Trump plan to deny green cards to those who may need government aid
DHS said it would expand the definition of "public charge" to apply to people whose entry could be denied because of concern they would depend on federal assistance.---

Too many American citizens are fighting for homes, jobs, and social programs. Mainly veterans and the elderly.

The liberal elite are outraged. No cheap nannies, drug dealers, and body parts in parks.

The elderly are fighting for jobs?  Tell me more.  I assume all these old folks are out there, doing battle with immigrants for positions on roofing crews, construction crews, meatpacking plants, backbreaking agrarian fieldwork, and so on.  We need citations here, so that we can share your concern and fire up our Outrage Machines!  Let grandpa nail down those shingles and pick those strawberries, godammit!

Pompeo is an absolute human turd.  Yet another guy who's life path ran through Wichita and stayed there too long.   
You remember when Trump promised to get ‘the very best’ people for his administration? As per usual with Trump, the result ended up 180 degrees opposite. Good people won’t work with Trump. No one with any sence of honor or self respect can exist around Trump. Nor does he want that sort of person around him. Trump wants sleaze bags and social climbers around him. Those are the kind of people he has interacted with his entire adult life. Those are the kind of people he understands, and he will thus be in a position to dominate them since he knows their greed so well. In Trump’s world there are no good people and bad people, there are only winners and losers (him being the greatest winner among them all—the man with the most, the greatest, the biggest pile).

According to Bolton, Barr makes a strong bribery case against trump as it relates to his official acts being inextricably linked to numerous illegal transactions in Turkey and China.

Remember the good old days when the right used to argue they were not racist or.xenophobic? "We are only against ILLEGAL immigrants! We support legal immigration!"

It was bull shit then. I am glad they have dropped the pretext.
