Australia is the only country in the world to have received more American migrants than the US has accepted from it. For many, the Land Down Under represents a place with a similar culture to the US, but with the bonus of being free from Mr Trump.

What lawmakers and other public figures are saying about the border separations
 The Facts
Since 2014, hundreds of thousands of children and families have fled to the United States because of rampant violence and gang activity in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. U.S. laws provide asylum or refugee status to qualified applicants, but the Trump administration says smugglers and bad actors are exploiting these same laws to gain entry. Nielsen says the government has detected hundreds of cases of fraud among migrants traveling with children who are not their own. Trump says he wants to close what he describes as “loopholes” in these humanitarian-relief laws. Advertisement

The Central American refugee crisis developed during President Barack Obama’s administration and continues under Trump. The two administrations have taken different approaches. Obama prioritized the deportation of dangerous people. Once he took office, Trump issued an executive order rolling back much of the Obama-era framework. Obama’s guidelines prioritized the deportation of gang members, those who posed a national security risk and those who had committed felonies. Trump’s January 2017 executive order does not include a priority list for deportations and refers only to “criminal offenses,” which is broad enough to encompass serious felonies as well as misdemeanors.

“Operationally what that means is we will have to separate your family,” Nielsen told NPR in May. “That’s no different than what we do every day in every part of the United States when an adult of a family commits a crime. If you as a parent break into a house, you will be incarcerated by police and thereby separated from your family. We’re doing the same thing at the border.” Although we’ve fact-checked these family-separation claims twice, we hadn’t had the opportunity to assign a Pinocchio rating yet. We’ll do so now. The Facts

Trump’s Immigration Order Could Have a Big Impact on Sports - The New York Times Trump’s Immigration Order Could Have a Big Impact on Sports
Trump’s Immigration Order Could Have a Big Impact on Sports Two N.B.A. players, Thon Maker and Luol Deng, were born in Sudan, one of the seven countries listed in Mr. Trump’s executive order. ( Both, however, were born in Wau, now part of South Sudan, which gained its independence from Sudan in 2011.) Mr. Maker’s family fled Sudan when he was 5 and eventually settled in Australia. Mr. Maker, who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, moved to the United States to play high school basketball in Louisiana, eventually moved to Canada and is an Australian citizen who holds a passport from that country. It was unclear how people with dual citizenship would be treated under the order. Mr. Deng, a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, has lived in the United States for 17 years. His family fled to Egypt when he was 5 to escape the Sudanese civil war. Mr. Deng came to the United States when he was 14 and attended high school in New Jersey, and he later became a British citizen. The N.B.A. also holds an annual Basketball Without Borders camp, and it is expected to be held in New Orleans during the league’s All-Star weekend in February. While rosters have not been released, last year’s camp involved players from 25 countries, including Amir Reza Shah-Ravesh from Iran.

 The Trump campaign spent several days in August adjusting its tone and language on the matter. “There could certainly be a softening," Trump said in an August interview with Fox News's Sean Hannity, "because we're not looking to hurt people." He then quickly refused to rule out some form of mass deportation, returning to a hardline approach reminiscent of the primary campaign. Refugee resettlement

Trump's stance on refugee resettlement focuses primary on screening refugees who seek asylum in the US. He called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" following the San Bernardino shootings, shifted to a temporary ban applied to immigrants with "a proven history of terrorism," then linked Syrian refugees to ISIS. "We don't know who they are. It could be one of the great Trojan horses," Trump has said. Detentions
Trump has pledged to end catch-and-release practices, and detain and deport immigrants caught illegally crossing the US-Mexico border. But he recently told Bill O'Reilly that he was "not going to put [immigrants] in a detention center."

Sources: Trump questions why so many immigrants from ‘shithole countries’ The lawmakers had hoped Trump would back their accord, an agreement among six senators evenly split among Republicans and Democrats, ending a months-long, bitter dispute over protecting the “Dreamers.” But the White House later rejected it, plunging the issue back into uncertainty just eight days before a deadline that threatens a government shutdown. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’ s No. 2 Democrat, explained that as part of that deal, a lottery for visas that has benefited people from Africa and other nations would be ended, the sources said, though there could be another way for them to apply. Durbin said people would be allowed to stay in the U.S. who fled here after disasters hit their homes in places including El Salvador, Guatemala and Haiti. Trump specifically questioned why the U.S. would want to admit more people from Haiti. As for Africa, he asked why more people from “shithole countries” should be allowed into the U.S., the sources said. “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump asked, according to the Washington Post. The president suggested that instead, the U.S. should allow more entrants from countries like Norway.

What is the GRACE Act? | International Rescue Committee (IRC) What is the GRACE Act?
What is the GRACE Act? Nearly 26 million refugees have fled violence and persecution around the world. With decreasing refugee admissions in the U.S., they are in desperate need of protection. Senka Filipovic, an IRC employee and Refugee Voice, has the facts. Refugee Voices is a platform for former refugees to advocate, tell their story, volunteer or take other actions in support of refugees and refugee programs in the U.S.

In 1992, I fled my home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a refugee and came to the U.S. Today, my family is thriving and integrating into American society by working, paying taxes, voting, and being active members of our community. A new bill introduced in Congress would ensure the U.S. does its part to address nearly 26 million refugees who have fled violence and persecution around the world. It’s called the Guaranteed Refugee Admissions Ceiling Enhancement Act, or GRACE Act. Under the Trump Administration, America is turning its back on refugees despite the country’s long, bipartisan tradition of serving as a safe haven for the world’s most vulnerable people. In addition to his efforts to slash foreign aid, President Trump has lowered the U.S. commitment to welcoming refugees to a record low of just 30,000, less than a third of the historic average goal, and shocking reports suggest that the administration might not admit a single refugee next year. As a result, refugees are being left stranded in desperate need of protection.

Trump’s Immigration Order Could Have a Big Impact on Sports “I think a co-hosted World Cup with Mexico would be trickier if Secretary Clinton isn’t in the White House,” Mr. Gulati said at the time, in a reference to Hillary Clinton, who lost the election to Mr. Trump. After Mr. Trump won the election, Mr. Gulati modified his remarks, saying, “It’s not going to dissuade us or persuade us to bid.” International perceptions of the Trump administration “matter, for sure,” Mr. Gulati said, “but I think those will be developed in the months to come.” U.S. Soccer said Saturday it would have no immediate comment as it examined Mr. Trump’s order. Many questions remained unanswered about the ability of a number of athletes to travel. Two N.B.A. players, Thon Maker and Luol Deng, were born in Sudan, one of the seven countries listed in Mr. Trump’s executive order. ( Both, however, were born in Wau, now part of South Sudan, which gained its independence from Sudan in 2011.) Mr. Maker’s family fled Sudan when he was 5 and eventually settled in Australia. Mr. Maker, who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, moved to the United States to play high school basketball in Louisiana, eventually moved to Canada and is an Australian citizen who holds a passport from that country. It was unclear how people with dual citizenship would be treated under the order.

Due to a Trump Administration policy called “Remain in Mexico,” tens of thousands of asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border have had to wait for their immigration court appearance in Mexico. There they've often ended up in unsafe housing, or no housing at all. Women girls, and families with children are at risk of violence, including sexual assault, extortion, kidnapping and homicide. The administration later used COVID-19 as an excuse to turn away asylum seekers altogether
Some individuals who are already in the U.S., such as those who may have entered on a tourist visa or other temporary visa, may also apply for asylum. In those circumstances, the process for asylum varies. Where do asylum seekers in the U.S. come from? In late 2019, Venezuelans and Central Americans were among the largest groups of people to apply for asylum in the U.S.
Three million Venezuelans have left the country since 2015 due to growing insecurity, instability and violence. People living in northern Central American countries such as Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador are enduring violence akin to a war zone. “The hardest part about living in El Salvador is the violence,” says 23-year-old Valentina, who fled to the U.S. after her family was threatened by gangs. “

Trump vowed to deport the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants when he launched his campaign in June last year. He promised to create a " deportation force " and to impose criminal penalties on those immigrants whom he painted as rapists and drug dealers. This area of the real-estate mogul's immigration platform proposes tripling the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from 5,000 to 15,000. Trump also wants ICE officers to cooperate with local law-enforcement on gang raids, specifically targeting undocumented immigrants who are believed to have gang connections.

 The push to take action against Parler follows decisions this week by Twitter and Facebook to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms for inciting violence — and thus deprives the president of what could have been an alternative to those services. Many conservatives aggrieved with those platforms have fled to Parler in recent months. It’s a sudden downfall for the app, which has been under fierce scrutiny for its role in providing a forum to the extremists who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, leaving at least five people dead. Ahead of the attack, Trump supporters used Parler — as well as services like Gab and the online forum TheDonald.win, a Reddit-like spinoff built upon a community previously banned from the main Reddit site — to plan their assault. “WE THE PEOPLE … are through with you,” one Parler post said ahead of Wednesday’s violence, according to the Washington Post. “ To all our enemies high and low you want a war? Well your asking for one. ... To the American people on the ground in DC today and all over this great nation, be prepared for anything.” Amazon’s decision to evict Parler from its cloud hosting service Amazon Web Services effectively removed the site from the internet. It’s not impossible for Parler to find alternative hosting — there are other such services, though Amazon Web Services controls the lion’s share of cloud hosting, serving about 40 percent of the internet, according to the Verge.

Why didn't any of Trump's children serve in the U.S. military?
 As a side note, wealthy is not a positive in the military. I served with a couple of guys that were well off, and one of the other companies had a soldier whose personal net worth was probably more than the whole battalion put together. He went AWOL once because he had to sign some paperwork that was worth an enormous amount of money and they didn’t want to give him the two days he needed. He left, came back, did his NJP and carried on. Glad he was there, but having a soldier that does not really give a damn about an article 15 must have presented some leadership challenges. Interestingly, you can be discharged honorably for being wealthy under a “Convenience of the Government” justification. They just have to decide that your financial situation presents unnecessary complications. Quora User

WASHINGTON — The twin brothers were 3 when they fled Ukraine, then a Soviet republic, with their father and grandmother, Jewish refugees with only their suitcases and $750, hoping for a better life in the United States. In the 40 years since, the first-born twin, Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, has become a scholar, diplomat, decorated officer in the United States Army and Harvard-educated Ukraine expert on the White House’s National Security Council. And on Tuesday, Colonel Vindman’s past and present converged as he became a star witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, which is centered on the president’s dealings with the colonel’s native Ukraine. Ensconced in the secure hearing rooms of the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in a midnight-blue dress uniform, a bevy of ribbons pinned to his chest, Colonel Vindman testified privately from morning until night.

It also didn't hurt that he was host and producer of NBC’s hit reality series The Apprentice. High Turnout Among Working-Class White Voters
This is the big story of the 2016 election. Working class white voters—men and women alike—fled the Democratic Party and sided with Trump because of his promise to renegotiate trade deals with countries including China and levy stiff tariffs on goods imported from these countries. Trump's position on trade was seen as a way to stop companies from shipping jobs overseas, though many economists pointed out taxing imports would drive up costs to American consumers first. His message resonated with white working-class voters, especially those who live in former steel and manufacturing towns. " Skilled craftsmen and tradespeople and factory workers have seen the jobs they loved shipped thousands of miles away," Trump said at a rally near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Immigration
Trump promised to essentially lock down the borders to prevent terrorists coming in, an appeal to white voters who were not necessarily worried about crimes being committed by undocumented immigrants by jobs being filled by them. " What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers. We have a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," Trump said.

At Trump’s inauguration, Franklin Graham, Cardinal Dolan and four more clergy will pray arrow-right
The choice of clergy members to speak at previous inaugurations has drawn criticism, including Barack Obama’s choice of Pastor Rick Warren in 2008 because of Warren’s anti-gay-marriage stance. Trump’s inaugural committee chose some clergy members, including Jackson and White, who were associated with Trump during his campaign, as well as others like Rodriguez, who spoke out against Trump’s views on immigration and other issues of importance to his Hispanic Christian community. ‘God is not against building walls!’ The sermon Donald Trump heard before his inauguration. “It’s a particular honor that shows the greatness of America,” said Hier, the first rabbi chosen for an inauguration since Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985. When Hier’s selection was announced Wednesday, he mused about what his parents — who fled anti-Semitism in Poland and moved to America before the Holocaust — would think about his role. “ Whatever you turn to in the Torah, one can find connections and relevance to whatever period of history human beings live in. So that’s not going to be a challenge.” Advertisement

Trump chose more clergy than his predecessors, who since 1989 have picked just one or two people to pray at their inaugurations. Graham previously prayed at the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001.

 “You have a great story to tell,” Trump said to Coconut Creek Police Officer Michael Leonard, who spotted and arrested the gunman in a residential neighborhood after he had fled the scene of the shooting. After Leonard told of the arrest, Trump joked: “ That was so modest. I would have told it much differently. I would have said without me, they never would have found him.” Trump’s motorcade left Fort Lauderdale at 8:45 p.m. and headed north on Interstate 95 to Palm Beach County.

Many Democrats and others have called for tighter gun restrictions in the wake of the shooting, but Trump did not respond to one reporter’s shouted question in Pompano Beach about gun laws. In a tweet from Washington on Friday morning, Trump said he would be meeting with “some of the bravest people on earth — but people whose lives have been totally shattered. Am also working with Congress on many fronts.”

There has also been speculation that Trump would preemptively pardon his personal lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether Giuliani broke lobbying laws in his dealings in Ukraine. The investigation into Giuliani is tied to the case against two of his associates, who are accused of campaign finance-related violations.

World’s worst humanitarian crisis
 The Trump Administration’s executive orders on refugee travel, however, have hindered these efforts. Breaking, Jan 31, 2020: The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds today to reports of the Trump Administration’s policy decision to expand the Travel Ban . While the Trump travel ban officially expired on Oct. 24, it isn’t over. Arbitrary new vetting measures effectively extend the ban for 90 days for refugees from 11 countries. These procedures will lengthen the resettlement process for thousands of people escaping violence and conflict. President Trump first instated the travel ban on Jan. 27—his first week in office. This executive order suspended the entire refugee resettlement program for 120 days and barred refugees fleeing the war in Syria from entry to the U.S. indefinitely. It also barred entry to refugees from six other countries— Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen —for 90 days. The order resulted in chaos at airports across the country as refugees who were already in the air were detained and, in some cases, sent back to the crises they had fled.

 Long gone the tradition of resisting against foreign invasions, this time the noble class knows better. The majority of Vietnamese rich family has already fled the country before the war begins, leaving behind a corrupted inefficient government while patriotic people dies in the war. The pro-Chinese inside top bureaucrats conduct a coup-de-tat and release a statement saying that their comrades have fled Vietnam. The two countries signed a truce. Don’t get me wrong. The same thing probably happened with China for the last 50 years. However with 15x population, a 10% patriotic ratio of 1.5 billion people already means the population of Vietnam.

Long gone the tradition of resisting against foreign invasions, this time the noble class knows better. The majority of Vietnamese rich family has already fled the country before the war begins, leaving behind a corrupted inefficient government while patriotic people dies in the war. The pro-Chinese inside top bureaucrats conduct a coup-de-tat and release a statement saying that their comrades have fled Vietnam. The two countries signed a truce. Don’t get me wrong. The same thing probably happened with China for the last 50 years. However with 15x population, a 10% patriotic ratio of 1.5 billion people already means the population of Vietnam. Mean while Trump is reelected and make a deal with China to move US’s fleet out of the region to avoid a nuclear war. In return his businesses will be untouched. Russian agree, Trump agree, and the US is out.

 Democrats, meantime, had their own polarizing candidate to worry about: Hillary Clinton. Her scandal-plagued political career failed to generate enthusiasm among the Democratic Party's progressive wing and left-leaning independents. It could be said that both Trump and Clinton had coattail effects on the 2016 congressional and legislative elections. The surprising surge for Trump among working-class white voters — men and women alike — who fled the Democratic Party because of his promise to renegotiate trade deals and levy stiff tariffs against other countries helped elevate Republicans. The GOP emerged from the election in control of both the U.S. House and Senate, as well as dozens of legislative chambers and governor's mansions across the U.S.
House Speaker Paul Ryan credited Trump with helping the Republicans secure majorities in both the House and Senate. " The House majority is bigger than expected, we won more seats than anyone expected, and much of that is thanks to Donald Trump...Donald Trump provided the kind of coattails that got a lot of people over the finish line so that we could maintain our strong House and Senate majorities. Now we have important work to do," Ryan said after the November 2016 election. Riding Coattails
A strong coattail effect often results in a wave election, when one major political party wins substantially more races than the other. The opposite usually happens two years later, when the president's party loses seats in Congress .

WASHINGTON — In bluntly vulgar language, President Donald Trump questioned Thursday why the U.S. would accept more immigrants from Haiti and “shithole countries” in Africa rather than places such as Norway, as he rejected a bipartisan immigration deal, according to people briefed on the extraordinary Oval Office conversation. Trump’s contemptuous description of an entire continent startled lawmakers in the meeting and immediately revived charges that the president is racist. The White House did not deny his remark but issued a statement saying Trump supports immigration policies that welcome “those who can contribute to our society.” Trump’s comments came as two senators presented details of a bipartisan compromise that would extend protections against deportation for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants — and also strengthen border protections as Trump has insisted. The lawmakers had hoped Trump would back their accord, an agreement among six senators evenly split among Republicans and Democrats, ending a months-long, bitter dispute over protecting the “Dreamers.” But the White House later rejected it, plunging the issue back into uncertainty just eight days before a deadline that threatens a government shutdown. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Senate’ s No. 2 Democrat, explained that as part of that deal, a lottery for visas that has benefited people from Africa and other nations would be ended, the sources said, though there could be another way for them to apply. Durbin said people would be allowed to stay in the U.S. who fled here after disasters hit their homes in places including El Salvador, Guatemala and Haiti.

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine’s son, Linwood Michael Kaine, was arrested during a “March 4 Trump” rally in Minnesota on suspicion of felony second-degree riot, according to a Ramsey County Sheriff's Department arrest log. Linwood Kaine, 24, who also goes by “Woody,” was among five people taken into custody in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to NBC News that Linwood Kaine was released from its custody on Monday morning. According to the Pioneer Press, no charges have been filed against Linwood Kaine, or the others who were arrested, but the situation is being investigated. Kaine was among "five or six people all dressed in black clothing from head to toe" who entered the State Capitol and set off fireworks and smoke bombs, according to a St. Paul Police Department incident report. Police then spotted the suspects in a park near the building, and the group fled in different directions, St. Paul Police Department spokesman Steve Linders told NBC News. Linders said officers ordered Kaine to the ground but he refused and a chemical irritant was used. Kaine continued to resist officers, Linders said, and an officer used a knee strike to subdue him before taking him into custody.

 It is obvious that the prolonged periods of detention, characterised by frustration and insecurity, are doing further damage to individuals who have fled grave human rights abuses. The detention policy has failed as a deterrent and succeeded only as punishment. How much longer will children and their families be punished for seeking safety from persecution? Former Prime Minister John Howard and successive immigration ministers maintained that their actions were justified in the interests of protecting Australia's borders and ensuring that immigration law was enforced. Refugee "Swap" with the US
In 2016 the Australian government announced an intention to exchange some proven refugees from either Nauru and/or Manus Island for certain displaced people presently in Central America as part of an agreement with the Obama administration of the United States. In early 2017 Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced that he was confident the agreement would proceed, despite the change of President to Donald Trump. However, latest information appears to cast doubt on the willingness of the US government to honour any such agreement, especially in light of Trump's executive order suspending entry to the US from several countries. On 2 February 2017 Australian news outlets, quoting the Washington Post, reported that a telephone conversation between Trump and Turnbull had been acrimonious in relation to the "swap", and that Trump had terminated the call ahead of time. Trump has expressed admiration over the detention facilities, opining that the US should do the same. On 4 February 2019 the remaining 4 children who had been detained on Nauru were sent to the U.S.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, whose 2016 campaign was propelled by voters who were angry with establishment politicians and the ruling political class, used an appropriately angry campaign song: " We're Not Gonna Take It." The heavy-metal song was written and performed by the 1980s hair band Twisted Sister. The lyrics tapped into the anger felt by many of Trump's supporters: We'll fight the powers that be,
Just don't pick our destiny,
'Cause you don't know us,
You don't belong. We're not gonna take it,
No, we ain't gonna take it,
We're not gonna take it anymore. Trump won the presidency with the help of disaffected working-class white voters who fled the Democratic Party because of Trump's promise to renegotiate trade deals with countries including China and levy stiff tariffs on goods imported from these countries. Trump's position on trade was seen as a way to stop companies from shipping jobs overseas, though many economists pointed out taxing imports would drive up costs to American consumers first.

 “When people call you brilliant, it’s always good, especially when the person heads up Russia,” he told MSNBC shortly after Putin’s original comments. In May Trump falsely described the comments as a compliment of his intelligence. “ They want me to disavow Putin,” he said. “ Putin of Russia said Trump is a genius.” Trump has proposed US-Russian cooperation regarding Syria, counter-terrorism and trade deals, and defended Putin’s record on eliminating a free press. The Kremlin and its allies have over 15 years dismantled independent news organizations, and the 2006 murder of investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya has also been linked by activists to Putin’s Kremlin. Trump told ABC in December: “ it’s never been proven that he killed anybody.” The businessman’s top campaign aide, Paul Manafort, was an adviser to Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian politician who was fled to Russia after a 2014 revolution ousted him from office. Putin also spoke carefully on Friday about the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, saying he did not work much with her directly when she was secretary of state.

 The term "coattail effect" in politics is derived from the loose material on a jacket that hangs below the waist. A candidate who wins an election because of another candidate's popularity is said to be "swept in on the coattails." Typically, the term "coattail effect" is used to describe a presidential nominee's impact on congressional and legislative races. The excitement of the election helps to increase voter turnout, and more voters may be inclined to vote a "straight party" ticket. Coattail Effect in 2016
In the 2016 presidential election, for example, the Republican establishment became increasingly concerned about its candidates for U.S. Senate and House when it became clear Donald Trump was a formidable candidate. Democrats, meantime, had their own polarizing candidate to worry about: Hillary Clinton. Her scandal-plagued political career failed to generate enthusiasm among the Democratic Party's progressive wing and left-leaning independents. It could be said that both Trump and Clinton had coattail effects on the 2016 congressional and legislative elections.

Why Puerto Rico residents can't vote even though they're U.S. citizens Puerto Rico: At the center of a political storm, but can its residents vote for president?
Puerto Rico: At the center of a political storm, but can its residents vote for president? In 2016, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio won Puerto Rico's GOP primary, trouncing Trump 71% to 13% and winning all 20 of the territory's Republican delegates. It was one of only three primaries Rubio won (along with Minnesota and the District of Columbia). The larger risk for Trump is the relocation to the mainland of thousands of Puerto Ricans who fled the island after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. Researchers say it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where those fleeing Maria's aftermath resettled, but a large percentage are believed to have moved to Florida, where more than 1 million Puerto Ricans reside. That could be bad news for Trump, who defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida in 2016 by fewer than 113,000 votes out of nearly 9.5 million cast. A poll conducted last year by the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs at Florida International University found that more than 70% of Puerto Ricans who moved to the Sunshine State since 2017 have a negative view of the president.

 The push to take action against Parler follows decisions this week by Twitter and Facebook to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms for inciting violence — and thus deprives the president of what could have been an alternative to those services. Many conservatives aggrieved with those platforms have fled to Parler in recent months. It’s a sudden downfall for the app, which has been under fierce scrutiny for its role in providing a forum to the extremists who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, leaving at least five people dead. Ahead of the attack, Trump supporters used Parler — as well as services like Gab and the online forum TheDonald.win, a Reddit-like spinoff built upon a community previously banned from the main Reddit site — to plan their assault. “WE THE PEOPLE … are through with you,” one Parler post said ahead of Wednesday’s violence, according to the Washington Post. “ To all our enemies high and low you want a war? Well your asking for one. ... To the American people on the ground in DC today and all over this great nation, be prepared for anything.” Amazon’s decision to evict Parler from its cloud hosting service Amazon Web Services effectively removed the site from the internet. It’s not impossible for Parler to find alternative hosting — there are other such services, though Amazon Web Services controls the lion’s share of cloud hosting, serving about 40 percent of the internet, according to the Verge.

The push to take action against Parler follows decisions this week by Twitter and Facebook to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms for inciting violence — and thus deprives the president of what could have been an alternative to those services.

Meet Alexander Vindman, the Colonel Who Testified on Trump’s Phone Call
He fled Ukraine at age 3 and became a soldier, scholar and official at the White House. That’s where, he told impeachment investigators, he witnessed alarming behavior by President Trump.

Published Oct. 29, 2019 Updated Feb. 7, 2020
WASHINGTON — The twin brothers were 3 when they fled Ukraine, then a Soviet republic, with their father and grandmother, Jewish refugees with only their suitcases and $750, hoping for a better life in the United States. In the 40 years since, the first-born twin, Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, has become a scholar, diplomat, decorated officer in the United States Army and Harvard-educated Ukraine expert on the White House’s National Security Council. And on Tuesday, Colonel Vindman’s past and present converged as he became a star witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, which is centered on the president’s dealings with the colonel’s native Ukraine. Ensconced in the secure hearing rooms of the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in a midnight-blue dress uniform, a bevy of ribbons pinned to his chest, Colonel Vindman testified privately from morning until night.

Washington Post At Trump’s inauguration, Franklin Graham, Cardinal Dolan and four more clergy will pray
At Trump’s inauguration, Franklin Graham, Cardinal Dolan and four more clergy will pray When Hier’s selection was announced Wednesday, he mused about what his parents — who fled anti-Semitism in Poland and moved to America before the Holocaust — would think about his role. “ Whatever you turn to in the Torah, one can find connections and relevance to whatever period of history human beings live in. So that’s not going to be a challenge.” Advertisement

Trump chose more clergy than his predecessors, who since 1989 have picked just one or two people to pray at their inaugurations. Graham previously prayed at the inauguration of George W. Bush in 2001. The son of famed evangelist Billy Graham who now runs the association named for his father and the charity Samaritan’s Purse, Graham defended Trump throughout his campaign against charges that the businessman went against Christian values. When many Republicans were expressing disgust in October over the release of a tape showing Trump speaking crudely about women on the set of Access Hollywood, Graham wrote on Facebook, “The crude comments made by Donald J. Trump more than 11 years ago cannot be defended. But the godless progressive agenda of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton likewise cannot be defended. . . .

House recruiter to GOP: ‘Do a better job of looking like America’ - Roll Call
 Trump’s presidency spurred many first-time Democratic candidates to run last cycle, and the new majority in the House includes record numbers of Hispanic, Asian American, Native American and African American lawmakers. “Democrats in 2018 elected the most diverse caucus in American history because we actually focused on the issues the American people care about,” said Cole Leiter, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Brooks did not know how many people of color the NRCC has approached about running, but she did know that the committee has spoken with 112 women interested in running. Trump’s rhetoric did not prevent the handful of candidates from jumping into House races last week. Underwood-Jacobs and Valladares both said they disagreed with Trump’s style, but supported him. Vilariño, whose family fled Cuba when she was a child, described herself on her campaign website as “an early and staunch supporter of President Trump.” One challenge facing diverse Republican candidates is the lack of organizations devoted to diversity that also play in primaries. A former GOP hopeful recalled applying for endorsements from groups that back Hispanic candidates, only to learn that they tend to support more liberal contenders. There are no Republican groups devoted to increasing racial diversity that are comparable to the Latino Victory Fund or Collective PAC on the Democratic side. Primaries have also proved to be an obstacle, especially for GOP women.

The rally was attended by approximately 400 people and took place in the State Capitol building, according to Minnesota State Patrol. Thirty minutes into the event, it was interrupted by 50 anti-Trump protesters at the State Capitol building who blew horns and chanted. A smoke bomb also went off at that point, according to the Pioneer Press. Mr Kaine was seen with a group of four other people who set off fireworks in the building and then fled the scene.

Could all this benefit ISIS? Possibly. The S.D.F. proved a vital force in wresting back control of areas seized by ISIS militants. It also captured tens of thousands of Islamic State fighters and their families. Those people are now being held in makeshift prisons in the region being targeted by Turkey, and while President Trump said he believes Turkey should be responsible for them, there are no plans for their relocation. While the territory of the Islamic State’s self-declared “caliphate” has been wrested from the group, the security situation in much of Syria remains tenuous.

Odds of passage
 It was introduced in the House on December 10 as bill number H.R. 5383, by Rep. Jesús García (D-IL4). What supporters say
Supporters argue the legislation is a more humane approach to America’s immigration issues, rather than the hardline approach advocated by President Trump and most Republicans. “Too many families in Chicago and around the country have been torn apart by cruel immigration policies.” Rep. García said in a press release. “ Imagine living with the constant fear of being detained anywhere and deported at any time simply because you fled violence and sought refuge in the U.S. We must end the labels of the ‘good’ versus ‘bad’ immigrant used to dehumanize and divide communities.” “An attack on one community is an affront to us all,” Rep García continued. The bill would “disrupt the prison to deportation pipeline, give all immigrants the dignity of due process, and ensure America remains a nation that welcomes all.” What opponents say
President Trump counters that his administration’s immigration policies are better than his opponents’ plans, not only by being fairer to natural-born Americans but also fairer to immigrants who come in legally. “Democrats are proposing open borders, lower wages, and, frankly, lawless chaos. We are proposing an immigration plan that puts the jobs, wages, and safety of American workers first,” Trump said in a 2019 speech. “

The Trump Administration’s executive orders on refugee travel, however, have hindered these efforts. Breaking, Jan 31, 2020: The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds today to reports of the Trump Administration’s policy decision to expand the Travel Ban . While the Trump travel ban officially expired on Oct. 24, it isn’t over. Arbitrary new vetting measures effectively extend the ban for 90 days for refugees from 11 countries. These procedures will lengthen the resettlement process for thousands of people escaping violence and conflict. President Trump first instated the travel ban on Jan. 27—his first week in office. This executive order suspended the entire refugee resettlement program for 120 days and barred refugees fleeing the war in Syria from entry to the U.S. indefinitely. It also barred entry to refugees from six other countries— Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen —for 90 days. The order resulted in chaos at airports across the country as refugees who were already in the air were detained and, in some cases, sent back to the crises they had fled.

In one of those chats, a user whom the FBI believes was Abual-Ragheb said that a civil war was coming and that people needed to show support and rise up and fight for the Constitution. During an FBI interview, Abual-Ragheb allegedly told agents she was born in Lebanon and fled to Jordan when she was a child to escape the civil war there.

Why Is Turkey Fighting the Kurds in Syria? - The New York Times Why Is Turkey Fighting the Kurds in Syria?
Why Is Turkey Fighting the Kurds in Syria?
Who are the Kurds?
How does Turkey view the Kurds?
How does the U.S. fit in?
Could all this benefit ISIS?
 The United States and Turkey, which are NATO partners, have long been close allies. But the Kurds and the United States also have a long history of cooperation. The American-led coalition began working with the S.D.F. in 2015, saying the Kurdish-led group was the most capable of pushing back the Islamic State militants who had seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria. This proved to be true. Mr. Trump further muddied the United States’ position when, after first voicing support for Mr. Erdogan’s plan, he seemed to walk back his statements in the face of objections from political allies and opponents alike. Mr. Trump said on Twitter: “ We may be in the process of leaving Syria, but in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters.” In a subsequent message he said that the United States was “helping the Kurds financially” and warned Turkey against unnecessary force.

Progressives Have Targeted Tucker Carlson's Advertisers to Hobble His Show
By Joseph Allen
Dec. 18 2020, Updated 1:02 p.m. ET
Over the course of the Trump administration, Tucker Carlson has emerged as one of the most popular hosts on Fox News. As his viewership numbers have steadily risen, though, progressives and left-leaning groups have targeted Tucker's show via his advertisers. Tucker's show has been targeted in large part because of the incendiary things he often says on the show, which can be factually untrue and often traffic in racist stereotypes. Article continues below advertisement
Who advertises on Tucker Carlson? These days, there aren't many companies with names you'd know left advertising on Tucker's show. Advertisers first began fleeing his program in March of 2019 after old racist and misogynist comments were unearthed from an interview he gave on a radio show. Another wave of advertisers fled in June of this year as protests over the killing of unarmed Black people by police rocked the country. Source:

 Trump told the group he had visited a girl at the hospital who had been hit with four bullets, including two in the lungs, and “had no chance” if first responders hadn’t rushed her quickly to the hospital. Trump had several officers tell him their names and what they did. “Great job. I heard about that. I heard about you,” Trump said to one SWAT team member. “You have a great story to tell,” Trump said to Coconut Creek Police Officer Michael Leonard, who spotted and arrested the gunman in a residential neighborhood after he had fled the scene of the shooting. After Leonard told of the arrest, Trump joked: “ That was so modest. I would have told it much differently. I would have said without me, they never would have found him.”

Trump’s CDC chief faces increasingly harsh scrutiny - POLITICO Trump’s CDC chief faces increasingly harsh scrutiny
Trump’s CDC chief faces increasingly harsh scrutiny Top Trump advisers have worried that panic over a still-unseen U.S. outbreak could threaten the president’s reelection, and Azar and other officials have spent the past two days working to calm the public reaction to Messonnier’s comments. Nancy Messonnier, who leads CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. | Samuel Corum/Getty Images
But Messonnier’s remarks, and her high profile during the coronavirus fight, speak to a reality at CDC: Unlike other parts of the Trump administration, where career civil servants have fled and political appointees have made over operations, the sprawling CDC operation and its global staff have largely retained their independence. More than 80 percent of CDC scientists polled in 2018 said the agency continued to uphold its scientific principles under Trump, compared with less than 40 percent of scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency. Meanwhile, many longtime CDC staffers have played a key role in fighting the coronavirus outbreak, like principal deputy director Anne Schuchat and Messonnier, who’s become a target for right-wing talk radio because she’s the sister of former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. In front of a Senate appropriations panel on Tuesday, Azar defended the public-health agency for its round-the-clock response to a possible outbreak, arguing that it’s played an essential role in staving off an outbreak that remains largely theoretical in the United States. “We are now,

Cuba Embargo - Pros & Cons - ProCon.org Should the United States Maintain Its Embargo against Cuba?
Should the United States Maintain Its Embargo against Cuba?
Pro & Con Arguments
Pro 1
The United States should maintain the Cuba embargo because Cuba has not met the conditions required to lift it, and the US will look weak for lifting the sanctions.
Pro 2
The Cuban government has consistently responded to US attempts to soften the embargo with acts of aggression, raising concerns about what would happen if the sanctions were fully lifted.
Pro 3
The embargo enables the United States to apply pressure on the Cuban government to improve human rights.
Pro 4
Cuban-Americans support the embargo.
Pro 5
Cuba should be subject to sanctions because it is known to have repeatedly supported acts of terrorism.
Pro 6
Cuba has not demonstrated a willingness to negotiate in good faith with the United States.
Pro 7
Since there is virtually no private sector in Cuba, opening trade would only help the government, not regular Cuban citizens. And, the US is able to target the Cuban government with its embargo while still providing assistance to Cuban citizens.
Pro 8
The embargo should be maintained because open travel is insufficient to promote change in Cuba. Many democratic countries already allow travel to Cuba with no results.
Con 1
The United States should end the Cuba embargo because its 50-year policy has failed to achieve its goals, and Cuba does not pose a threat to the United States.
Con 2
The embargo harms the US economy.
Con 3
The embargo harms the people of Cuba, not the government as intended.
Con 4
Promoting democracy by prohibiting Americans from traveling to Cuba is hypocritical. Most Americans want improved diplomatic ties and open travel and trade policies with Cuba.
Con 5
Cuban-Americans and most of the world oppose the embargo, and maintaining it is detrimental to the reputation of the United States among the international community.
Con 6
Free trade, not the isolation of an embargo, can promote democracy in Cuba. And, lifting the embargo would put pressure on Cuba to address problems that it had previously blamed on US sanctions.
Con 7
The embargo prevents the people of Cuba from joining the digital age by cutting them off from technology, and restricts the electronic flow of information to the island.
Con 8
The United States should not have different trading and travel policies for Cuba than for other countries with governments or policies it opposes.

A former Trump aide now under federal investigation as part of the Russia probe earned millions working for a corrupt pro-Russian political party that repeatedly disparaged America's most important military alliance. Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign chief from May to August 2016, spent nearly a decade as a consultant to Ukraine's Party of Regions and its standardbearer, Viktor Yanukovych. Backed by Russian-leaning oligarchs, the party opposed NATO membership and spouted anti-Western rhetoric that once helped fuel violence against American marines. Its reign ended when Yanukovych fled to Russia after bloody street protests against his personal corruption and pro-Moscow actions.

Manafort has always said he tried to Westernize the party and steer it towards a democratic model, and denies any part in anti-NATO messaging, but Ukrainian critics and U.S. diplomats who served in Kiev aren't so sure.

Parler — the conservative social media platform that brands itself as a “free speech” alternative to sites like Twitter — was kicked off of its Amazon web-hosting service after midnight Sunday, ending for now a site that has become a nexus of extremism. Load Error
Amazon’s decision, which was first reported by BuzzFeed News on Saturday, comes after the Apple App Store and Google Play Store decided to remove Parler from their respective app stores this week, limiting its potential reach. The push to take action against Parler follows decisions this week by Twitter and Facebook to ban President Donald Trump from their platforms for inciting violence — and thus deprives the president of what could have been an alternative to those services. Many conservatives aggrieved with those platforms have fled to Parler in recent months. It’s a sudden downfall for the app, which has been under fierce scrutiny for its role in providing a forum to the extremists who stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, leaving at least five people dead. Ahead of the attack, Trump supporters used Parler — as well as services like Gab and the online forum TheDonald.win, a Reddit-like spinoff built upon a community previously banned from the main Reddit site — to plan their assault. “WE THE PEOPLE … are through with you,” one Parler post said ahead of Wednesday’s violence, according to the Washington Post. “ To all our enemies high and low you want a war?

Why Puerto Rico residents can't vote even though they're U.S. citizens Puerto Rico: At the center of a political storm, but can its residents vote for president?
Puerto Rico: At the center of a political storm, but can its residents vote for president? In 2016, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio won Puerto Rico's GOP primary, trouncing Trump 71% to 13% and winning all 20 of the territory's Republican delegates. It was one of only three primaries Rubio won (along with Minnesota and the District of Columbia). The larger risk for Trump is the relocation to the mainland of thousands of Puerto Ricans who fled the island after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. Researchers say it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where those fleeing Maria's aftermath resettled, but a large percentage are believed to have moved to Florida, where more than 1 million Puerto Ricans reside. That could be bad news for Trump, who defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Florida in 2016 by fewer than 113,000 votes out of nearly 9.5 million cast. A poll conducted last year by the Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs at Florida International University found that more than 70% of Puerto Ricans who moved to the Sunshine State since 2017 have a negative view of the president.

Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism
Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism So will the people who are authoritarians—precisely the people we are talking about. This is not the place we can profile the authoritarians who have been attracted to Trump’s chest-pounding alpha-male politics, because the literature is vast. We are calling attention to this information because it explains both Trump and his supporters, the people who would literally tolerate his shooting someone on 5 th Avenue and still vote for him. The absence of this information from most all political discussion of Trump is on our minds because we are sifting, sorting, and summarizing these studies as they relate to Trump and his followers. The times of Trump cannot be understood without this information. This research was undertaken in anticipation of the eventuality of the current situation, because it can help preserve and protect our democracy. Trump is America’s first authoritarian president since Richard Nixon. Unlike Trump, Nixon was largely able to hide his authoritarianism from public view, and this characteristic was only later revealed on his secret recordings of his White House conversations. Trump’s authoritarianism is conspicuous. Although some commentators have noted his “autocratic” and “authoritarian” style, they have not taken the next step to understand what that means or to examine the half-century of study devoted to understanding why someone like Trump was elected and is tolerated by the Republican Party and other supporters, notwithstanding his undemocratic behavior.

Analysis: Donald Trump, Israel and the Jews
The controversial Republican candidate will find it difficult to leverage his pro-Israel positions to gain Jewish votes.

 On the other hand, Trump’s statements on prisoners of war, Jewish campaign contributions, immigration and entry to the US have touched on a very raw Jewish nerve. On John McCain, who spent six years as a POW in Vietnam and refused early release when his captors discovered that his father was an admiral, Trump flippantly said he was “a war hero only because he got captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” In Israel the nation as a whole cares about its POWs and the government invests huge resources in attempts to release them. The protracted and ultimately successful effort to free Gilad Schalit, a soldier who was captured and held hostage for five years by Hamas in Gaza, well illustrates this ethos. On December 3, Trump told members of the Republican Jewish Coalition that he suspects many members won’t back him because he is rich and doesn’t want their contributions. Trump may have thought he was making a joke, but the Israeli media saw his comments as reinforcing anti-Semitic stereotyping of Jews as rich people who “control the world” and can “buy” elections with their money. Trump has also made highly provocative and controversial statements on immigration and entry to the US. On June 16, he said that Mexico is sending in people bringing drugs, crime and rape. Later he extended this observation to include immigration from other Latin American countries.

On the other hand, Trump’s statements on prisoners of war, Jewish campaign contributions, immigration and entry to the US have touched on a very raw Jewish nerve. On John McCain, who spent six years as a POW in Vietnam and refused early release when his captors discovered that his father was an admiral, Trump flippantly said he was “a war hero only because he got captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” In Israel the nation as a whole cares about its POWs and the government invests huge resources in attempts to release them. The protracted and ultimately successful effort to free Gilad Schalit, a soldier who was captured and held hostage for five years by Hamas in Gaza, well illustrates this ethos.

Background: Miles Kwok, aka Guo Wengui, is a controversial, self-proclaimed billionaire and member of Mar-a-Lago who fled China and has taken up refuge in a Manhattan penthouse while awaiting a decision on his U.S. asylum application. Beijing has been trying for months to get him back, including, as the Wall Street Journal reported in October, using Steve Wynn as an intermediary to ask Trump to repatriate him. "President Donald Trump received a letter from the Chinese government, hand-delivered by Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas casino magnate with interests in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau. Mr. Trump initially expressed interest in helping the Chinese government by deporting Mr. Guo, but other senior officials worked to block any such move, according to people familiar with the matter," WSJ reported. What's happening now: Kwok was very active on Twitter until suddenly going quiet in late November. Before his Twitter break, he tweeted about several meetings with Steve Bannon, and his pinned tweet shows him with Bannon.

US President Donald Trump’s pledge to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has caused controversy across the world. Trump could announce the move as early as Tuesday, US officials with direct knowledge of the matter and foreign diplomats have told CNN. Upon making his decision public, Trump is expected to sign a waiver to keep the US embassy in Tel Aviv for another six months, but say his administration will move the diplomatic mission to Jerusalem at some point – a goal long sought by Israel.

In May 1975, when communist takeover of Laos seemed imminent, the U.S. arranged to airlift between 1,000 and 3,000 Hmong into Thailand. By December 1975, when the Lao People's Democratic Republic was formed, an estimated 44,000 Hmong had fled to Thailand as refugees. The earliest Hmong refugees who fled the country consisted mainly of soldiers in the U.S.-led army and their families. Later waves have fled because of a variety of post-war hardships, including declining economic conditions, crop failure due to ineffective communist farm collectivization schemes and drought, and repression of past and on-going resistance activities.

Fareed Zakaria defined the syndrome as "hatred of President Trump so intense that it impairs people's judgment". CNN's editor-at-large Chris Cillizza called TDS "the preferred nomenclature of Trump defenders who view those who oppose him and his policies as nothing more than the blind hatred of those who preach tolerance and free speech". Pointing to previous allegations of Bush Derangement Syndrome and Obama Derangement Syndrome, Cillizza suggested, "Viewed more broadly, the rise of presidential derangement syndromes is a function of increased polarization—not to mention our national self-sorting—at work in the country today." Bret Stephens has described the term as something used by conservative groups whenever someone speaks out critically against Trump, regardless of political affiliation. Political analyst John Avlon uses the term using a more generalized sense inclusive of positive emotions as well as hatred towards Trump, so that for example, TDS accounts for denialism about Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election, as a "political diagnosis" of people who "simply can’t accept the fact that he lost the election." Usage
The term has been widely applied by pro-Trump writers to critics of Trump, accusing them of responding negatively to a wide range of Trump's statements and actions. The use of the term has been called part of a broader GOP strategy to discredit criticisms of Trump's actions, as a way of "reframing" the discussion by suggesting his political opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world. However, according to Kathleen Hall Jamieson of Annenberg Public Policy Center, the term could backfire on Trump supporters because people might interpret it to mean that Trump is the one who is "deranged", rather than those who criticize him. Some Trump supporters have asserted that he plays a form of "multi-dimensional chess" on a mental level his critics cannot comprehend, which they say explains why critics are frustrated and confused by Trump's words and actions. Fox News anchor Bret Baier and former House speaker Paul Ryan have characterized Trump as a " troll " who makes controversial statements to see his adversaries' "heads explode".

String of Trump associates indicted in the Mueller probe
The days ahead
 Trump is by no means the only president who has been associated with convicted criminals. The Watergate burglary, which led to Richard Nixon’s downfall, resulted in a number of Nixon’s associates, including his campaign operative G. Gordon Liddy, being convicted. Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger, who was convicted of cocaine possession in the 1980s. And on his last day in office, Clinton made the controversial decision to pardon financier and major Democratic donor Marc Rich, who had fled overseas to escape indictment for alleged financial crimes. In 2009, a top donor to Democrats John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama -- New York financier Hassan Nemazee –– was sent to prison after being convicted of financial crimes.

The days ahead

Trump is by no means the only president who has been associated with convicted criminals. The Watergate burglary, which led to Richard Nixon’s downfall, resulted in a number of Nixon’s associates, including his campaign operative G. Gordon Liddy, being convicted. Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger, who was convicted of cocaine possession in the 1980s. And on his last day in office, Clinton made the controversial decision to pardon financier and major Democratic donor Marc Rich, who had fled overseas to escape indictment for alleged financial crimes. In 2009, a top donor to Democrats John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama -- New York financier Hassan Nemazee –– was sent to prison after being convicted of financial crimes.

Arrested Capitol rioters had guns and bombs, everyday careers and Olympic medals
SEALED CASES, SCANT DETAILS
CONFESSIONS ON CAMERA
 Federal prosecutors have said they expect to bring charges against hundreds of people involving the riot and related threats and violence. They had charged about 80 as of Thursday, a Justice Department spokeswoman said. Their task was made much harder by that fact that overwhelmed police initially made few arrests of the hundreds of people who stormed the building - just 14 were detained that day by the U.S. Capitol Police, which guards the building. And yet many suspects made investigators’ and prosecutors’ jobs easy by mugging for news cameras and posting what authorities described as real-time confessions - including videos of themselves - in postings on social media as they pushed their way inside the Capitol, home to the U.S. Congress, according to a Reuters review of court records. David Blair - a Trump supporter who lives in Washington’s suburbs and was charged with attacking a police officer with a stick - came to the Capitol after seeing that it had been overrun by a mob supporting the president because he wanted “to witness history,” he told Reuters in a text message. “ I ended up still finding a way to get in trouble because I had so much pent-up emotion,” he wrote. The initial round of charges do not reflect the full gravity of the siege that paralyzed Congress as members fled for their lives and hid from the mob. Authorities expect more serious charges to follow after more intensive investigations. Washington’s acting U.S. attorney, Michael Sherwin, said Tuesday that he had assembled a team to focus on building sedition and conspiracy cases related to the most “heinous” actions during the siege. Investigators are reviewing communications, along with travel and financial records, to track any coordination or organization among the rioters.

Five myths about Hispanics - The Washington Post Five myths about Hispanics
Five myths about Hispanics
They’re not a racial group. And they’re not all opposed to Trump.
Hispanics are a racial group.
Spanish is a foreign language in the United States.
Hispanics support liberal immigration policies.
'Hispanic' and 'Latino' are synonyms.
Trump can't win over Hispanic voters.
 In 2016, Trump received 28 percent of the national Hispanic vote but 35 percent of Florida’s Hispanic vote, helping cement his one-percentage-point victory in the state. Savvy campaigns understand that the Hispanic community is not a monolith. Trump’s campaign has invested early in Florida — where the Hispanic population largely comprises Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan political refugees — with narrowly tailored appeals to communism-abhorring voters who are wary of political rhetoric that evokes even Europe’s socialist democracies, and with an eye on the growing number of antiabortion Hispanic evangelicals. Despite their outreach efforts, Democratic campaigns flounder when they take the Hispanic vote for granted and pander to the community. Hillary Clinton’s loss demonstrated that having a Spanish-speaking gringo like Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) as your running mate isn’t enough. Trump — despite, and perhaps because of, his blunt, offensive and arrogant rhetoric — will continue to appeal to a certain segment of the Hispanic population: American citizens whose families fled leftist regimes and are emboldened by promises of good jobs, low taxes and the American Dream.

Right. So what happened?
So countries moved their embassies out of the city?
What about consulates?
Just to be clear: What is America’s position?
That sounds pretty straightforward…
OK. Keep going…
So why hasn’t the embassy moved yet?
What are Trump’s options if he goes ahead with the embassy move?

Donald Trump is citing unsubstantiated urban myths and a contested academic study to paint a false narrative about rampant voter fraud in the U.S. and the likelihood of a “rigged” election. Trump claimed “people that have died 10 years ago are still voting,” citing a report that found 1.8 million deceased people remain on voter registration rolls. But the report did not find evidence of wrongdoing, and numerous studies have found such voter fraud is virtually nonexistent. Trump claimed there is a massive problem with “illegal immigrants [who] are voting,” citing research by Old Dominion professors who say noncitizen voters may have benefited Democrats in 2008. But a Harvard professor who manages the data used in the Old Dominion study said the data was misused and the study’s conclusions are wrong. Finally, Trump broadly claimed that “voter fraud is very, very common,” and he has called for poll watchers to look for people impersonating voters or voting numerous times. However, numerous academic studies and government inquiries have found in-person voter fraud to be rare. For weeks, Trump has been warning about rigged elections. He urged his supporters in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 10 to monitor polls and “watch other communities, because we don’t want this election stolen from us.” In a speech in Wisconsin on Oct. 17, Trump provided some detail and purported evidence to back up his claims about the prevalence of voter fraud, particularly by noncitizens and people casting ballots on behalf of deceased voters.

Trump won the presidency with the help of disaffected working-class white voters who fled the Democratic Party because of Trump's promise to renegotiate trade deals with countries including China and levy stiff tariffs on goods imported from these countries. Trump's position on trade was seen as a way to stop companies from shipping jobs overseas, though many economists pointed out taxing imports would drive up costs to American consumers first.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, whose campaign was more positive and uplifting than Trump's, released a Spotify playlist for her rallies in 2016. Many of the songs reflected the tone of her 2016 presidential campaign, including the first one on the list, "Believer," by American Authors. The lyrics include: I’m just a believer

9 Facts About Refugees
There are an astounding 30 million refugees around the world, according to the most recent data available. [ source] But what exactly is a refugee? And how does a person become one? Here are a few facts to know about refugees. Fact 1
Refugees have fled persecution or war
In order to officially be considered a refugee, a person must have suffered persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, because they are part of a persecuted social group, or because they’re fleeing war. Those people who claim to be refugees, but whose cases haven’t been fully evaluated may instead be defined as “asylum seekers.” Fact 2
Refugees have crossed an international border
There are lots of people who are forced to leave their home because of persecution or war. But not all of them are considered refugees. People who have fled their home, but stayed within their own country are considered “internally displaced,” or “internally displaced persons” (IDPs). According the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), at the end of 2019, there were some 45.9 million internally displaced persons in the world. [

Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism
Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism Experiments show their aggression is often triggered by fear of a disintegrating society and released by a profound sense of self-righteousness. These “authoritarian followers,” as social science labels them, are also highly ethnocentric, thus frequently racist, nationalistic, deeply partisan, and threatened by “the other.” It is no accident that such people would want to build a wall that they foolishly believe will solve a problem. Other testing shows these people are also highly defensive, not to mention almost totally unaware of their own proclivities. Thus, people who are not at all like such authoritarian followers will read this paragraph and conclude we are not talking about them. So will the people who are authoritarians—precisely the people we are talking about. This is not the place we can profile the authoritarians who have been attracted to Trump’s chest-pounding alpha-male politics, because the literature is vast. We are calling attention to this information because it explains both Trump and his supporters, the people who would literally tolerate his shooting someone on 5 th Avenue and still vote for him. The absence of this information from most all political discussion of Trump is on our minds because we are sifting, sorting, and summarizing these studies as they relate to Trump and his followers. The times of Trump cannot be understood without this information.

 Black people willing traveled to Scandinavia
One reason some black people were in Scandinavia during the Viking age is because they traveled there. Dark-skinned people from Northern Africa, and certain places in southern Europe like Spain, explored unknown areas just like other Europeans and Asians who sought to discover what foreign lands were like. Like others, black travelers were looking for resources like fertile land, meaty game, and valuable goods. Over time, some settled in the regions they explored and settled in Northern Europe. Some black people were escaping to Escape
Another reason black people were in Scandinavia during the Viking age is because they fled there. Black people were used as slaves in other parts of Europe, and when they succeeded at escaping, they fled and sometimes they fled north to Scandinavia. Former slaves had the difficult task of resettling in foreign lands. Nevertheless, some successfully assimilated into Viking culture. Shields were critically important to the Vikings’ success in combat. See The Viking Shield:

 The crisis of unaccompanied minors is of particular importance. Since 1998, it is believed that more than 7,000 people have died while trying to make it to the border or while crossing. At least 227 people died in 2020 along the Arizona-Mexico border, making it the deadliest year there. About 128 people trying to cross from Arizona died in 2018 and 144 in 2019. A car crash in California killed 13 people in early March 2021 after two SUVs crossed through a hole in the border wall into California. As of April 30, 2021, the Southern Border Communities Coalition reports that 121 people have died since 2010 due to interaction with U.S. border agents, including several who died while in CBP custody. Three people have died in 2021 – one from a gunshot, one from apparent medical issues and a 71-year-old man who was killed after getting in a bicycle-vehicle collision with a truck driven by a CBP agent who fled the scene. In January 2019, the Trump administration implemented the “ Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP).” Known colloquially as the “ Remain in Mexico ” program, the initiative was extended from just California to the entire border. Rather than remaining in the U.S. to await their hearing, asylum seekers were sent back to Mexico to await their hearing.

Donald Trump’s vow to restore America’s greatness ultimately mattered more than his insults and controversies — sparking surprise shifts in the electorate that helped him upset Hillary Clinton. Enlarge Image

Despite blasting Mexicans as “rapists” and “criminals” in his campaign kickoff — and promising right up to Election Day to build a southern border wall — Trump did better among Hispanic voters than 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, exit polling showed. Romney’s much tamer “self-deportation” plan resulted in just 27 percent support among Hispanics, but Trump — who also vowed to forcibly deport millions of illegal immigrants — won 29 percent of Hispanics. Clinton’s share of the Hispanic vote — which increased to 11 percent of this year’s electorate, up from 10 percent in 2012 — was 65 percent, a six-point drop from the 71 percent President Obama scored four years ago. And Trump got 31 percent of voters who said they hadn’t been born US citizens. Miami resident Josefina Rocabado, who emigrated from the Dominican Republic in 1979, said Trump’s economic policies far outweighed his immigration stance.

Drudge tweeted Thursday "LIFE AFTER MERCER! BANNON FINDS NEW BILLIONAIRE, MILES KWOK..."
Background: Miles Kwok, aka Guo Wengui, is a controversial, self-proclaimed billionaire and member of Mar-a-Lago who fled China and has taken up refuge in a Manhattan penthouse while awaiting a decision on his U.S. asylum application. Beijing has been trying for months to get him back, including, as the Wall Street Journal reported in October, using Steve Wynn as an intermediary to ask Trump to repatriate him. "President Donald Trump received a letter from the Chinese government, hand-delivered by Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas casino magnate with interests in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau. Mr. Trump initially expressed interest in helping the Chinese government by deporting Mr. Guo, but other senior officials worked to block any such move, according to people familiar with the matter," WSJ reported. What's happening now: Kwok was very active on Twitter until suddenly going quiet in late November. Before his Twitter break, he tweeted about several meetings with Steve Bannon, and his pinned tweet shows him with Bannon.

 Federal appeals court blocks Florida's felons from voting until fees and fines are paid
The decision along strict ideological lines, with all five judges appointed by Trump in the majority, could have a major impact on the presidential race because of Florida's history of razor-thin margins. In 2000, George W. Bush won the White House with a 537-vote victory margin there. "Florida’s felon re-enfranchisement scheme is constitutional," Lagoa wrote in a 20-page concurrence. " It falls to the citizens of the state of Florida and their elected state legislators, not to federal judges, to make any additional changes to it." Perhaps more striking was a one-page concurrence penned by Chief Judge William Pryor, who also wrote the majority opinion. Signed only by himself and Lagoa, it said that "in the end, as our judicial oath acknowledges, we will answer for our work to the Judge who sits outside of human history." A graduate of Florida International University and Columbia University Law School, Lagoa was raised in Hialeah, Florida, the daughter of parents who fled Fidel Castro's Cuba. Joan Larsen
Like Barrett, Larsen, 51, spent much of her career as a professor, at the University of Michigan Law School. She was appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court in 2015, elected to that court the following year, and nominated by Trump to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in 2017. She was confirmed by a 60-38 vote that November.

Trump has instead pointed to "corruption" by Joe Biden and his son. The Biden camp has argued that claims of wrongdoing on the Bidens' part are unfounded and have been debunked. " Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum," Biden told reporters recently. " And he's using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me." Here are five questions about the accusations and the facts behind them. 1. So what did Joe Biden do in Ukraine? Ukraine had a revolution in February 2014, when the pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, was ousted and fled to Russia amid massive, sustained protests that focused on corruption in his administration.

 In May 2020, President Trump said "it is time" to bring U.S. soldiers home from Afghanistan. Intelligence gathering and assessment
Trump White House officials were first informed in early 2019 of intelligence reports regarding a Russian bounty program. In 2019 and 2020, interrogations of criminals and captured Islamist militants by Afghanistan's government led to reports by Afghanistan-based U.S. Special Operations and intelligence officers that militants had been paid bounties in 2019 for their targeting of military personnel from the United States. The accounts from Taliban militants "from opposite ends of the country and from separate tribes" were similar. Early on, intelligence agencies and analysts disagreed over the reliability of findings based on interrogations of the detainees. Intercepted electronic data showed large bank transfers to a Taliban-linked account from an account controlled by the GRU. Afghan officials said that several businessmen who transferred money through the hawala system were suspected of being intermediaries for the bounty program and were arrested in raids. Around January 2020, a joint operation between US forces and the Afghan National Directorate of Security raided a Taliban outpost in Kunduz. Thirteen people were arrested. One fled to Tajikistan while another, an Afghan drug lord Rahmatullah Azizi, was thought to have escaped to Russia.

If Fred Trump’s New York was a home for the upwardly mobile, he says, Donald Trump’s is a playground for those who have already made it. The elder Trump's fortunes came, in large part, by leveraging public programs to spur housing. He began constructing hundreds of single-family homes in Queens and Brooklyn in the 1930s using mortgage commitments from the newly created Federal Housing Administration to obtain construction loans. Without the FHA, biographer Gwenda Blair wrote, Fred Trump would have been running a supermarket (one of his earlier investments). With it, he became the biggest builder in Brooklyn. During the war, he moved to constructing thousands of no-frills homes for the Navy around Norfolk. Then after, when the government was trying to jumpstart the construction industry to house veterans, he built even larger FHA-backed apartments and projects, like Trump Village, that were financed through public bonds issued by the state. “He knew how to negotiate all these different programs,” Vitullo-Martin says. There was a “public-spiritedness” to all this construction, Lasner says, but it wasn’t altruistic.

57,000 forced to Remain in Mexico
101,716 immigrants arrested in the first half of FY 2019

 The Trump administration's message to migrants and asylum seekers is clear: if you come to the U.S. border, you can expect to be turned away, whether it be to Mexico to await the outcome of your case or to the Northern Triangle, the same region that thousands have fled. Newsweek Newsletter sign-up >
While it would be impossible to quantify the full impact of the Trump administration's policy changes over the past year, the numbers do speak volumes when it comes to the president's immigration record. Here is a look at what Trump administration's 2019 record looks like in numbers: 977,509 stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border
In fiscal year 2019, which ended on September 30, the number of those apprehended or deemed inadmissible at the U.S.-Mexico border nearly doubled compared to the year prior. Newsweek subscription offers >
A total of 977,509 people were apprehended or deemed inadmissible in fiscal year 2019, compared to just 521,090 who were stopped at the border in fiscal year 2018. Of course, it should come as no surprise that fiscal year 2019 saw such high numbers, with immigration officials sounding the alarm of a "crisis" at the border before seeing arrivals rise to record-breaking numbers in May.
During that month alone, a total of 144,116 people were stopped at the border, with the two months prior seeing numbers also swell past 100,000. In November, acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan noted that since then, the numbers have dropped significantly, with just 42,649 people apprehended or deemed inadmissible at the U.S.-Mexico border in that same month. "If you recall, earlier this year we sounded an alarm—actually, quite a bit—with respect to the border crisis and asking Congress repeatedly to act to fix the loopholes in our broken immigration system, and close the gaps driving this crisis," Morgan said during a press conference. "Unfortunately, not a single piece of meaningful legislation has been brought forward," he lamented.

Trump portrayed himself through the 2016 campaign as a successful real-estate developer who created tens of thousands of jobs. " I’ve created tens of thousands of jobs and a great company," said during one debate. In a separate speech, Trump proclaimed his presidency would create "job growth like you’ve never seen. I’m very good for jobs .In fact, I will be the greatest president for jobs that God ever created." Trump runs dozens of companies and serves of numerous corporate boards, according to a personal financial disclosure he filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics when he ran for president. He has said he is worth as much as $10 billion, and though critics suggested he is worth much less Trump projected an image of success and was one of the most well known brands in the county. It also didn't hurt that he was host and producer of NBC’s hit reality series The Apprentice. High Turnout Among Working-Class White Voters
This is the big story of the 2016 election. Working class white voters—men and women alike—fled the Democratic Party and sided with Trump because of his promise to renegotiate trade deals with countries including China and levy stiff tariffs on goods imported from these countries. Trump's position on trade was seen as a way to stop companies from shipping jobs overseas, though many economists pointed out taxing imports would drive up costs to American consumers first.

 The original radio adaptation was done in the style of a news report, and some of the listeners who tuned in after the show had begun (and so missed the introduction to it) actually believed they were hearing a news report, packed their cars and fled to the country. Feminist sociologists such as Susi Orbach and Naomi Wolfe have highlighted how the ‘beauty myth’, especially the representations of size zero as normal, have encouraged an increase in eating disorders, especially among young women, as well as an increase in mental health problems. More recent evidence suggests that the campaigns behind both Trump and Brexit used sophisticated targeted advertising to nudge voters into voting for Trump and Brexit, suggesting the media can have a very direct and immediate effect on specific populations (even if such campaigns didn’t treat the audience as a ‘mass’ and so this is only partial support the Hypodermic Syringe Model). Imitation or Copycat Violence
One of the most researched areas of media effects is that surrounding the relationship between media violence and real-life violence. There is some evidence that media violence can ‘cause’ people to be more violence in real-life…
The Bandura ‘Bobo Doll’ experiment is evidence that media-violence can ‘cause’ children to act more aggressively when given the opportunity to do so. Bandura showed three groups of children real, film and cartoon examples of a bobo-doll being beaten with a mallet. A further group of children were shown no violence. The children were then taken to a room with lots of toys, but then ‘frustrated’ by being told the toys were not for them. They were then taken to a room with a mallet and a bobo-doll, and the children who had seen the violent examples (whether real, film, or cartoon) imitated the violence by beating the doll themselves, while the children who had seen no violence did not beat the doll.

 As of April 30, 2021, the Southern Border Communities Coalition reports that 121 people have died since 2010 due to interaction with U.S. border agents, including several who died while in CBP custody. Three people have died in 2021 – one from a gunshot, one from apparent medical issues and a 71-year-old man who was killed after getting in a bicycle-vehicle collision with a truck driven by a CBP agent who fled the scene. In January 2019, the Trump administration implemented the “ Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP).” Known colloquially as the “ Remain in Mexico ” program, the initiative was extended from just California to the entire border. Rather than remaining in the U.S. to await their hearing, asylum seekers were sent back to Mexico to await their hearing. It is estimated that at least 65,000 asylum seekers were sent to northern Mexico cities along the border. As of March 2021, there were about 25,000 people along the border waiting to have their claims processed. President Biden has stated his commitment to rolling back the MPP program. The first groups of people from the pledged 25,000 to be granted access to the U.S. to await trials were processed in late February 2021, others attempting to cross are still being denied access. However, the U.S. government is making an exception for unaccompanied children.

I don't think so.. your society selects for the most fittest politicians and gets them. What - you don't want leaders who work for the people that pay them the most? Seems you got a resource distribution problem in your society then, where a few get ever more of that and subsequently use those means to influence society how they see fit. Your ancestors fled Europe to not have to endure this anymore.. seems human nature finally caught up with you. Just taken you 300 years or so..
If you want a way out of this find the monopolies and outcompete them. No way around that.

U.S. lifts sanctions on Sudan, ending two decades of embargo - The Washington Post
 And they understand we have zero tolerance for continued arms deals with North Korea." The lifting of sanctions rescinds measures imposed in 1997 related to terrorism concerns and other steps put in place in 2006 in connection with the conflict in Darfur. The sanctions were temporarily eased in January just before President Barack Obama left office, with his administration citing the same progress the Trump administration noted. In July, President Trump extended the review for three months, angering the Sudanese, who stopped some lower-level meetings with U.S. officials in retaliation but maintained contacts between senior officials. A State Department official familiar with the decision said the administration will continue pushing Sudan to make more progress, including paving the way for 2 million internally displaced people who fled the fighting in Darfur more than a decade ago to return home safely. “We see this as an important milestone, but one on a road that’s going to take a lot longer to get to where we want to go in Sudan,” said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity under State Department guidelines. “It’s a real marker, taking what had been a very bad and difficult relationship in a new and positive direction. It doesn’t mean there isn’t much to do. There’s a lot to do yet. This is a productive first step.”

FACT CHECK: Donald Trump's Draft Deferments

Donald Trump. In the interview, Cahaly told Heavy that the firm has changed its methodology somewhat for 2020 but wasn’t going to reveal all of that information until the election was over. However, he said that he believes most other polls are inaccurate, calling them “Pony Express polling that most of the other groups use these days.” For example, he believes that calling a small number of households’ landlines with long questionnaires isn’t very effective because “I don’t think average people take those polls.” He said such polling tends to over represent “people who care too much on both sides. It over represents the people who have strong opinions. The people in the middle don’t have time to fool with it.” He believes that people are more hesitant to tell pollsters who they’re voting for today than they were in 2016 because we live in a society in which “people get penalized for their opinions.

Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism | John Dean | Verdict | Legal Analysis and Commentary from Justia Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism
Why Do So Many Americans Continue to Support Donald Trump? In a Word: Authoritarianism Experiments show their aggression is often triggered by fear of a disintegrating society and released by a profound sense of self-righteousness. These “authoritarian followers,” as social science labels them, are also highly ethnocentric, thus frequently racist, nationalistic, deeply partisan, and threatened by “the other.” It is no accident that such people would want to build a wall that they foolishly believe will solve a problem. Other testing shows these people are also highly defensive, not to mention almost totally unaware of their own proclivities. Thus, people who are not at all like such authoritarian followers will read this paragraph and conclude we are not talking about them. So will the people who are authoritarians—precisely the people we are talking about. This is not the place we can profile the authoritarians who have been attracted to Trump’s chest-pounding alpha-male politics, because the literature is vast. We are calling attention to this information because it explains both Trump and his supporters, the people who would literally tolerate his shooting someone on 5 th Avenue and still vote for him. The absence of this information from most all political discussion of Trump is on our minds because we are sifting, sorting, and summarizing these studies as they relate to Trump and his followers. The times of Trump cannot be understood without this information.

4. He publicly lied about his business dealings with Russia. While running for president in 2016, Trump repeatedly claimed to have no involvement with Russia, but he was, in fact, negotiating with the Russian government and Russian business interests about developing a Trump Tower in Moscow at that very time. Lying to the voters is not strictly an impeachable offense, but Trump blatantly lied about his business ties to Russia because he knew it was an incredible conflict of interest for a potential US president to have major business dealings with a frequent competitor and potential adversary of the United States. pinterest-pin-it

5. According to the Mueller Report, Trump attempted to obstruct justice multiple times. The Mueller report cites many examples of Trump repeatedly trying to fire the people who are investigating him, discouraging witnesses from cooperating with the investigation, falsifying information about the Trump Tower meeting, asking people to lie and dangling pardons for people who refused to cooperate with the investigation. Many of these acts of obstruction were done publicly on Trump's Twitter account.

Clearly, this power can result in some controversial applications. For example, in 1972 Congress accused President Richard Nixon of obstruction of justice—a federal felony—as part of his role in the infamous Watergate scandal. On September 8, 1974, President Gerald Ford, who had assumed office following Nixon’s resignation, pardoned Nixon for any crimes he may have committed related to Watergate. On January 21, 1977, President Jimmy Carter, on his first full day in office, made good on a campaign promise by issuing an executive order granting unconditional pardons to the nearly 500,000 young American men who had evaded the military draft during the Vietnam War by fleeing the United States or refusing to register for the draft with their Selective Service boards. At the time, the blanket pardons came under fire from both veterans’ groups—who considered the “draft dodgers” to be unpatriotic lawbreakers—and from amnesty groups—for not including deserters, dishonorably discharged soldiers, and civilians arrested during anti-war demonstrations. In the end, the war and the draft had so deeply divided the people that only about half of the approximately 100,000 draft evaders who had fled to Canada chose to return to the United States, despite having been granted amnesty. In 2018, President Donald Trump offered to posthumously pardon late boxing legend Muhammad Ali, who had been convicted and jailed in 1967 for refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. However, President Trump’s offer had been more symbolic than substantive, as the U.S. Supreme Court had overturned Mr. Ali’s conviction in 1971, confirming his status as a conscientious objector. How Many Pardons Have Presidents Issued? The number of pardons issued by the presidents has varied widely.

Clearly, this power can result in some controversial applications. For example, in 1972 Congress accused President Richard Nixon of obstruction of justice—a federal felony—as part of his role in the infamous Watergate scandal. On September 8, 1974, President Gerald Ford, who had assumed office following Nixon’s resignation, pardoned Nixon for any crimes he may have committed related to Watergate.

 The United States has bilateral extradition agreements with 107 nations (PDF). Moreover, the United States maintains diplomatic relations but, according to the above- mentioned list, does not have extradition treaties with the following full list of countries. Instead of repeating this full list, we will focus on several that are of interest to nomads or people who fit this bill and are looking for a good lifestyle abroad. The general impression is that anyone wanting to hide out in one of these non-extradition countries has to go to some hellhole in the ends of the earth. But that’s not necessarily true. I’ve always wondered why people who fled the law ended up somewhere like Spain. Do they think some go-along-to-get-along European country is going to protect them? If you’re not a Spanish citizen, you might as well have just stayed home. Governments — especially Uncle Sam — are notorious for trumping up charges that will make most Western governments give you up in two seconds flat. It’s not like anyone would think to look for you in a tourist hangout, anyway… ha ha.

Trump’s puzzling pitch to black voters
 The campaign has used known quantities as far as event space, air travel and accommodations, and has fulfilled all FEC requirements throughout the campaign.” The degree to which Trump or his corporations may be benefiting from his campaign is unclear, partly because the financial and legal structures of his businesses — and their relationships with his campaign — remain opaque. Trump has stubbornly refused to release his taxes, which could shed light on the issue. Additionally, the campaign’s payments to Trump-owned businesses are dwarfed by the $54 million Trump has pumped into his campaign. In fact, reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show that more than $500,000 in services such as rent, software and staff from Trump-owned businesses were donated to the campaign — including some of the salary paid to Trump’s head of security Keith Schiller, who travels everywhere with the candidate. In those situations, Trump likely either wrote off the cost of services rendered by his companies to his campaign, or he personally reimbursed the campaign for the costs of the services. Congress

While federal election law prohibits corporations from donating cash, goods or services to campaigns, the regulations do include an exception — and it’s the one that election law experts interviewed for this story say Trump is most likely using. It allows people who own certain types of companies — including LLCs or sole proprietorships — to donate from those entities to campaigns and have those donations be considered to have come from the person. It’s unclear precisely how Trump’s various businesses are structured, but he likely would have to be the sole owner of the ones that are donating services to the campaign in order for those donations to pass legal muster. “Most wealthy candidates separate their businesses from their campaign organizations, and that’s partly because their companies are either publicly owned or owned by multiple people,” said GOP election lawyer Jason Torchinsky.
