BB is right on the DACA ruling.  This was a big own goal by the Trump administration - he only has himself to blame.  The policy could have easily been rescinded but a basic level of competence is still needed to accomplish things in the American federal government.  An executive administration that does not feel the need to explain or justify their action will fail.

The Holocaust symbolism aside, how weird is it to declare a terrorist organization by acclaim?

But really - they're not censoring Trump's ads for the contents - but because of a red triangle?  I'd never seen it listed as some kind of hate symbol - it's not like the star of david or the pink triangle.  And I can tell you in Canada a inverted red triangle means exactly one thing - Canadian Tire.

So as soon as the President declares Antifa a terrorist organization all the civil unrest will stop? I am glad he got right to the heart of the matter.

I wonder if he didn't mean to fail. The challenge has always been procedural and has been going on for years: this is just an executive policy put in place by the Obama administration--when this first got held up in courts over procedural grounds why not just properly go back and check the boxes that needed checking?

What makes sense is that the administration doesn't really want to deport the dreamers (which would be disastrous politically), wants to show his base he tried, and wants to be able to highlight how important his reelection is so he can fix the supreme court undermining conservatives.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

No, I think he wants to do this stuff.  He wants to build a wall, kick out dreamers, etc.  It's just Trump's administration is just bad at this stuff, and Trump doesn't want to be told "no".

It means cheap tires and household goods combined with bad customer service. :yes:

And so because of your own lack of knowledge you assume they picked it innocently?
