The State Department banned a Romanian politician accused of corruption from entering the U.S. Thursday, after he spent years cozying up to influential GOPers for access to Washington.
Pompeo got word Dragnea, Giuliani and Trump were about to do something monumentally stupid, like a round of golf together, or dinner, and had to put a stop to it.
OK so, Iām really really happy TPM now has photo captions. Of course there are going to be some growing pains, so a little feedback. (Iām not able to upload a screenshot for some reason, so just refer to the article.
The image should match the headline where possible. So if the headline is āUS Bans Inaugural Attendeeā, the lead photo should endeavor to show the attendee banned, not the person who happened to invite them to the event. Actually, thanks to the new captions, this slight issue was obvious rather than confusing. Yay captions!
If the image shows two people and one is cropped out, the stock caption should be edited to remove the name of the person not in the photo, to clear up confusion.
"Pompeo issued an order barring Romanian politico Liviu Dragnea and his immediate family from entering the U.S. over allegations of āsignificant corruptionā.ā
So weāve started banning corrupt politicians and their families from the US now?
Not sure if itās the same problem, but when this happened to somebody a while ago it was traced to the size of the file he was trying to upload. Evidence on the latest few reports suggests there might be an additional wrinkle in that space may be constrained at some times, but not others on the server, so it may not be a consistent problem.
If you want to try to circumvent this and earn a little geek cred, try loading it into a photo editor program and then saving in a smaller size/resolution and trying again.
Or, like so many of us, you may just roll your eyes , bitch and move on to the next example of broken software at this siteā¦
US Bans Trump Inaugural Attendee From Further Entry Over Corruption
Like many of Trumpās partners in crime, Mr. Dragnea one is discovering that he is dishonorable even by crookās standards and every dollar sent his way is a dollar lostā¦
The former New York mayor was paid last year to send a letter to Bucharest criticizing the Romanian governmentās efforts to root out corruption ā which the U.S. has supported.
I could only wish I was surprised by this. Rudy exporting Trumpian values throughout the world. I am so ready for all this to end; just tired of living life disgusted by the acts of my country.
I never realized how much seamy, sleazy corruption existed in the world until donald trump. Itās like his gravitational pull brings the cockroaches out of the woodwork.
