caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 A photo of Nison (aka Max) Miller stares out from the screen, sullen and stern, in faded black and white. “Order of Court Denying Petition” is the title of the government form dated “14th November 1932,” to which it is attached, the one in which Miller is applying for naturalization as an American citizen. And beneath the photo, the reason given for his denial: Ignorance. Nison Miller is the great-grandfather of White House adviser Stephen Miller, who has taken credit for being one of the chief architects of the administration’s family separation policy. And this 85-year-old document is just one bit of ammunition in a campaign being waged by the unofficial band that goes by the hashtag #Resistance Genealogy. Believing that the past is prologue, they search online archives for nuggets about the ancestors of public figures and politicians who disparage today’s immigrants. They use tools they developed as a personal hobby to make the point that people like Miller are holding newcomers to a standard that their own forebears could not meet. “Unless your ancestors came on a slave ship or you’re Native American,” you came here as an immigrant, says Jennifer Mendelsohn, who created the #resistancegenealogy hashtag last summer after Republican congressman Steve King or Iowa was quoted as saying “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” So she went on a genealogy website and quickly documented that King’s own grandmother was one such baby, arriving in 1894 from Germany as a 4-year-old, along with her infant siblings. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-aide-stephen-miller-meet-great-grandfather-flunked-naturalization-test-203424658.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ivanka saved the day again! What a moderating force for good.... After Trump's Capitol Hill meeting, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., said the president "mentioned that his daughter Ivanka encouraged him to end this. And he said that he does recognize that it needs to end, that the images are painful." As he signed the executive order Wednesday, Trump stressed that he had heard from his daughter, saying, "Ivanka feels very strongly" and "I think anybody with a heart would feel very strongly about it. We don't like to see families separated." White House spokesman Raj Shah said Ivanka Trump had made calls to congressional leaders, advocating for a fix. She was at a meeting Wednesday between Trump and lawmakers at the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Meltdown in Duluth: Trump yells at protesters and 'elites' at rally https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/meltdown-duluth-trump-yells-protesters-elites-rally-130345147.html Twice, Trump paused while security forces ejected protesters. “Get ’em outta here!” Trump roared. While the second one was being given the bum’s rush, Trump sneered, “Go home to your mommy, darling! Get him outta here. Out! Was that a man or a woman? Because he needs a haircut more than I do!” It was like a 1960s flashback, with law-and-order politicians like George Wallace yelling about long-haired hippies. Trump’s anger at the protesters was revealing. I’ve watched nearly all of his rallies, and he has never been this intent on seeing any sign of protest erased. He really lingered on watching the protesting people being removed from his sight — he stared silently, glaring. It was as though Trump resented any disruption in the last place he can get unconditional love anymore — he feels beleaguered in the current state of his presidency. At another point, his stream-of-consciousness riffing led him to this nugget about his perceived enemies: “They always call the other side ‘the elites.’ Why are they the elite? I have a much better apartment than they do. I’m smarter than they are. I’m richer than they are. I became president and they didn’t.” Aside from being the sort of childish brag a child would be embarrassed to be caught saying, does someone actually need to tell Trump it’s his side that calls liberals “the elite”? And when I refer to “his side,” I of course include Fox News, which was airing the rally. Indeed, it was the only cable news outlet to do so, and Fox really wanted you to know it. The channel put this unusual chyron onscreen beneath Trump: “Trump Rally Live & Only on Fox News. Other Networks Ignore Presidential Rally.” I’ll give you the rough translation of that: “Fearless leader speaks: State television must broadcast.” Trump ranted and raved with unusual bitterness this night. It’s clear that on this, the evening after he was forced to back down from his new policy to have some migrant children removed from their parents detained at the border, he was feeling besieged. It led to forced jollity — “Is there anything more fun than a Trump rally?” he asked — and there was a strained quality to his unceasing self-promotion. Toward the end, he interrupted his own thoughts to bellow, “It’s the greatest phrase, I think, in the history of American politics: Make America great again!” It was a clear case of a man trying to convince himself that things aren’t as bad as they seem.

Trump is mad people arent calling him elite. His whole life all he has wanted to do is fit in with the ultra rich. It burns him so bad that he really isnt as rich as he claims, and thats why he goes to such great lengths to lie and talk about his wealth.

I wouldn't be shocked if she actually agrees with all of you and is doing your bidding. But why let the story develop when you can just just assume the worst from the get go. Look at the venom that precedes this post though. Melania Trump doesn't do anything. I know she hilariously made me her mission online bullying. Now she's one of the biggest targets of online bullying when she doesn't even do anything public or controversial. She had a procedure and CNN made up alternative nefarious scenarios that could be actually happening and presented it as news. There was no basis or catalyst event. It was just made up and treated as news. In any case, I think it's a poor fashion choice in her position to basically throw out some subliminal message. She's supposed to be above that. I don't think it's a big deal nor are there significant affected parties other than herself. But man, so much hate towards her. All of Trump's family. You guys take this stuff very personally. I just wonder what the response would have been if someone said similar things about Michelle Obama. The ensuing racist/sexist condemnations could only be overshadowed by the virtue signals I am sure. Imagine Michelle Obama had visited poor white Appalachian kids (hooked on opioids) in that same outfit. She would be hung in effigy throughout the former states of the Confederacy. Outraged 24 hour coverage, guaranteed. You would still be hearing about it on Fox decades from now....whereas all this Melania stuff will simply blow over in one or two news cycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more do you think will develop? Which conflicting statement are we supposed to believe? The First Lady's spokesman said it was not directed at anyone in particular and was "just a jacket", but the President said it was directed at the media. Both can not be true. As you said, it's hard to believe that a fashion model picked that jacket out of the blue and didn't mean anything by it. But it's also hard to believe that if it was directed at the media, the White House and the First Lady wouldn't have their story straight. When it's proven that one or both lie constantly, and getting a straight answer is near impossible, people are going to wonder why and make assumptions that are not going to be flattering to liars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
