Though the dump was closed - I found a place to dump the garbage - off the side of a side road there was a cliff and at the bottom of the cliff there was a pile of garbage. I decided that one big pile was better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up i decided to throw mine down.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

America’s rigorous celebration of Thanksgiving , with food, travel and football for a Holiday ostensibly about the arrival of immigrants to this continent; should really wrestle a little bit with the awful rhetoric here which is completely at odds the entire holiday.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.

There is no moral way to meet racism and xenophobia halfway. Every cultural argument against immigration is based in white supremacy. And there aren't a whole lot of good practical arguments against it: immigration benefits the US far more than it harms the US.

This was clearly written by Miller, who has been foaming at the mouth for denaturalizations since the first administration
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Although most US cities have failed at attracting families with kids in downtowns and other urban places (largely through the creation of a self-fulfilling prophesy of failure), other places, including Vancouver, have succeeded.

It's easy to be numb because it's par for the course nowadays, but repeatedly calling a reporter who asks a reasonable question "stupid" is conduct unbecoming for a small-town mayor, let alone the President of the United States.
