I applaud your post, and I'm sure you're far from alone. Except for one detail - Pence. Don't be fooled by that self-serving, pillbox-eyed bigot. He has neither spine, soul nor brain. He is acting exactly as you'd expect any overpromoted mediocrity to when they find themselves in a job they shouldn't be in - holding onto it with his both hands and all his natural teeth, because he knows it's the last good thing that will happen to him. |

Sounds like you are saying the same thing about Pence as they did with Bush Sr. when he was Reagan's VP.
They called him wimp and useless among other things. |

Do I agree with everything he says or does? Nope. Am I glad I supported him and glad he won? You bet. For one reason alone. Neil Gorsuch. He hit that one out of the park. If we ever see a liberal majority on the SCOTUS again, we're doomed. |

True, but he lost the popular vote and but for about 35,000 in key states would not have won the electoral college. It was squeakiest of squeaky wins against a flawed candidate who was sabotaged a week before the election. Favouring him is the fact that he inherited a working economy and for reasons that remain a mystery to me, has benefited from the ending of the investment "strike" that plagued Obama. It does not look like he's been able to pull a Hitler and the media you so unreasonably and arrogantly sought to impugn has remained, despite immense vindicative and asinine provocation, has remained true to its calling.

News from Trumpland:
USA to disengage from UN's Human Rights Council. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/19/p...cil/index.html It would have made sense if the government disengaged due to the council not reacting on America's constant abuse of human rights, but the mentioned reason is as flimsy as it can be. |

"The Trump administration implemented this policy by choice and could end it by choice. No law or court ruling mandates family separations. In fact, during its first 15 months, the Trump administration released nearly 100,000 immigrants who were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, a total that includes more than 37,500 unaccompanied minors and more than 61,000 family members."

The truth is, Neil Gorsuch being on the SCOTUS is much more the work of Mitch McConnell and crew rather than Trump, for it was them that held up the nomination of Merrick Garland.
While I might disagree with Gorsuch philosophically, I can't say he's not qualified, having spent many years on the bench of a Court of Appeals. That is not the case with the other Federal Judge nominations by Trump. Two of them had never tried a case in any court, much less Federal Court. One of them had practiced law for only three years, and whose main qualification seemed to be that he wrote an anti-Hillary Clinton blog. Another one called same sex marriage as being equivalent to bestiality, and that the trans-gender movement was part of "Satan's plan". Still another at his confirmation hearing, could not answer the most basic questions about trial practice, such as what a "Motion in Limine" is. This is something any second year law student knows. Folks you are much more likely to be affected by something a Federal Judge does, than what the SCOTUS does. This is not a job that you stock with political cronies. This is active trial court that has to rule on every violation of Federal law, from drug trafficking to copyright infringement, and understand a book of law that runs for thousands of pages. This will be the lasting damage done by the Trump administration. Because a Federal Judge is appointed for life.

Migrant children: Trump signs order to 'keep families together'
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order promising to "keep families together" amid fury over separation of migrant families.
He said he had been swayed by pictures of children who have been taken from parents while they are jailed and prosecuted for illegal border-crossing. The Republican president had earlier urged lawmakers to pass a bill ending family separations. He also wants immigration laws to be toughened under any such legislation. "It's about keeping families together," Mr Trump said at the signing ceremony on Wednesday. "I did not like the sight of families being separated," he said, but added the administration would continue its "zero tolerance policy". Details: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44552852
