It seems that the new citizens they showcased in the naturalization ceremony tonight are what Trump would consider people who came from sh*thole countries!
And we all know Pardoner-in-Chief only pardons those who can help him…
But the truth about Trump’s immigration policies are…
New Ad: Miles Taylor reveals that Trump offered pardons to DHS staff in exchange for implementing his illegal immigration policies at the border.

Chiselin’ Trump better be careful with all of these pardons he’s giving. He might run out. And he’s gonna need a lot of them just for himself.

There is not enough chocolate, liquor, or salty snacks to rid me of the bad taste this shitshow has left in my mouth.
Melania, in her faux military uniform was human and then praise her inhuman husband.
Eric shut up!
Tiffany oh poor pitiful you having to look for a job in the time of global pandemic.
Mikey P the bill for your trip is in your inbox.
Is Chad allowed to administer the oath to become a US citizen? Don’t they usually have a judge?
Just have to say thank God for Amazon Fire stick, that I didn’t have to watch in real time, just watching the recap.

I said this elsewhere, but how I wish the House Dems would pass new Articles on Friday. What would it accomplish? Well for starters, it would remind these crooks that the laws apply to them too, election year be damned. And when Mitch refuses to hold a trial it will be further evidence of the cravenness and dangerousness of the GOP.
Meanwhile, taxpaying citizens have the standing to sue over Hatch Act violations, right? Maybe I should drop my state attorney general a message tomorrow.
This was such a brazen slap in the face to all of us.

Wolf is in his post illegally so these poor immigrants were not legally made citizens of the USA in that photo op ceremony. They will be deported tomorrow if the dotard thinks they won’t vote for him.

Too Long:Didn’t Watch: Trump plays dress up using the White House.
- Including a scene when he mimics a shot Putin uses where he is coming down a hallway with military guards standing on each side.

Failing to prosecute the legerdemain of corporate financial leaders who caused the 2007/8 real estate crisis to turn into global meltdown gave comfort and confidence to these Trumpists doubling down on lawlessness and power displays.
It will take more than a truth and reconciliation commission to deal with this, there must be prosecution, jail time and blood: if the powerful are not accountable then no one is.

ICYMI:
Melania's talking about her immigrant experience.
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) August 26, 2020
A reminder - exactly 4 years ago this month, Donald Trump promised a press conference "over the next couple of weeks" at which she'd address allegations she broke immigration laws.

I guess this was a compromise with Stephen Miller’s “Hunger Games” idea. Or maybe that’s tomorrow. I’ll never know because I’m not watching any of it.

Donald gave Melania a kiss after her RNC speech.
Then, out of habit, he paid her $130,000.
