Editor's Note - President
Trump continued to proffer varying remarks regarding DACA, the Wall, and
last month's 'Unite the Right' rally at Charlottesville, Virginia, Thursday.
Prime time news was full of interpretation...
CNN's Anderson Cooper took up the topics with panelists Gloria
Borger, Carl Bernstein, and David Chalian. All were in
lockstep that there's a building groundswell whereupon Trump will
grant a citizenship path to these "great young people." Most
pleasing to the lot was the specter that a border wall will soon be
a distant memory, and that "white supremacy" will now be more
strongly condemned.
One has to wonder why Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and
Panama don't want any of these leaders returned. It's
obvious: Many are criminal, and there is much greater value in
them earning US dollars and remitting those funds home.
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell gathered David Frum, Matthew Miller, and
Jed Shugerman for another scrum, dealing more with Trump's latest
words on Charlottesville. Aside from the usual Archie Bunker
characterizations, the trio deplored Trump for any semblance of
white advocacy. All were vociferous in reminding O'Donnell of
the death of Heather Heyer.
It's been a month, and Virginia police investigators have grudgingly
agreed Heyer did not die in the three car pile-up. The woman
prone on the second car was not Heyer. Rather, farther up the
sidewalk, Heyer collapsed and died due to cardiac arrest.

Fox News USA reported late Thursday that CNN's celebrity chef
Anthony Bourdain stated he would poison Trump with hemlock if given
an opportunity. Last fall he bellowed, "Ethnic Germans just
have to die off."
Yup, him, too.

In recent weeks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken
a markedly different stance regarding refugees from his
co-religionists offering "expert" analysis on US television.
On August 31 he vowed to rid Israel of all Africans, describing them
as "wild beasts," and "a cancer upon Israel."
Touring Tel Aviv, he promised to rid Israel of "all infiltrators,"
increase canine patrols along Israel's border wall (paid for by US
taxpayers), and expand capacity at the open-air desert prison in
Holot.
Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri echoed Netanyahu, declaring
he'd work to insure "the promptest expulsion of these invaders."
Human rights advocates decried Israel's plans, noting that the
sterilization of African women and the chemical castration of
African men at Holot continues. |
