A piece from the American Conservative romanticizing the era of slavery and indigenous displacement? Now I've seen everything!

Kind of funny that the author specifically praises Pete Seeger for maintaining his antiwar cred, then David "we invade countries for a sense of national purpose" Brooks approvingly tweets the article. Guy has the attention span of a goldfish.

That's the quote from last year, making the rounds again. Not specifically about asylum seekers, but about deportees in general (the usual suspects bent over backwards to say he was only talking about MS-13 but nah).

The "we're all full, no room left" quote is new though.

U.S.
Woman who posed as black makes plea deal in fraud case
Associated Press Associated Press Fri, Apr 5 10:52 AM PDT
Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A former NAACP leader in Washington state who was exposed in 2015 as a white woman pretending to be black has reached an agreement to avoid trial on charges of welfare fraud.

Rachel Dolezal, who changed her name to Nkechi Diallo two years ago, was charged with two felonies last May.

Investigators alleged she failed to report tens of thousands of dollars in income from her memoir, "In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World," and other sources, so she could collect $8,847 in food and child care assistance from the state.

The Spokesman-Review reported Friday that Diallo entered into an agreement with prosecutors March 25 in Spokane County Superior Court to repay the money and complete 120 hours of community service to avoid a trial.

"I think that this is a fair resolution of the case," her attorney, Bevan Maxey, said Thursday. "I don't think it was Ms. Diallo's intent to defraud anyone. I think this will allow her to move forward in her life."

President Donald Trump on Friday announced he was withdrawing his nomination for the permanent director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in order to take the agency in a “tougher direction.”

Trump formally picked Ron Vitiello to lead the agency in August, two months after the Homeland Security official took over ICE in an acting capacity. Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn Friday, the president did not elaborate on what spurred the sudden personnel change.

“We’re going in a little different direction,” Trump said. “Ron’s a good man, but we’re going in a tougher direction. We want to go in a tougher direction.”

Pick this guy!!

Whilst you are thinking of actual 'tough' people, Trump is asking Miller to call Tucker or Sean Hannity to see if they're interested in the job before settling on Sheriff Clarke.

Nothing Jared Kushner can't fix. I mean he brokered peace in uhhh, tried to set-up a Russian backchannel and failed. Finally he brought a briefcase of intelligence to Saudi Arabia to enable a palace coup once that ended in the vile murder of a journalist.

If anyone can make peace between two factions who have been at war for decades it is Jared.

Quote

Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, said Monday that WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange had not done “anything wrong” and should not go to jail for disseminating stolen information just as major media does.

“Let’s take the Pentagon Papers,” Giuliani told Fox News. “The Pentagon Papers were stolen property, weren’t they? It was in The New York Times and The Washington Post. Nobody went to jail at The New York Times and The Washington Post.”

The day Assange is kicked out Trump will bring him to the US.

Assange will shiver and fear for his life as heavily armed CIA people take him to an undisclosed location.
The helicopter lands, the bag from his head is removed...

Trump: "Welcome to the United States Julian. Welcome. I have just signed a tremendous Presidential pardon thanking you for your great service in Making America Great Again. I love Wikileaks"

Assange: "

Trump: "Do you like some beer and a nice cheerleader, oh no you must prefer Vodka and an Eastern European Prostitute right? Come on let's go get a burger. HAHAHAHA"

Cory Booker has raised more than $5 million since launching his presidential campaign on Feb. 1, a relatively modest figure for the New Jersey senator compared with the sums announced thus far by several of his rivals for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

Booker’s haul, announced Sunday in an email to supporters, falls short of the $18.2 million raised by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the $12 million raised by Sen. Kamala Harris of California, the $9.4 million raised by former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas, and the $7 million raised by Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., in the first quarter of 2019.

Even the totals raised by O’Rourke and Sanders within the first 24 hours of their campaign announcements — $6.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively — surpassed the amount Booker was able to collect in February and March.

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of President Trump’s most devoted loyalists on Capitol Hill who represents the Florida Panhandle, has told GOP colleagues he is considering moving across the state line to run for the Senate in Alabama in 2020, several House lawmakers told The Hill.

Some of those discussions took place as recently as Thursday. The rumor had been bouncing around the Capitol for weeks but took a more serious turn in recent days when Gaetz began privately discussing the idea with fellow lawmakers.

“He’s talking about running for Senate in Alabama. They have a one-day residency requirement there,” said a GOP lawmaker who knows Gaetz well. “POTUS [President of the United States] would probably endorse him.”
