Trump May Release Immigrants In Democratic Sanctuary Cities In Retaliation. This May Backfire As Sanctuary Cities Are Known For Their Kindness Towards Immigrants.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he is considering releasing immigrants into so-called sanctuary cities in part to retaliate against Democrats, undercutting earlier denials from his own administration officials.
"Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only," Trump tweeted.

Disney CEO Says Hitler Would've Loved Social Media
Accepting an award for his humanitarian work Wednesday, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger attacked social media for its role in spreading hate.
“Hitler would have loved social media," said Iger at the Simon Wiesenthal Center tribute dinner, according to Variety. “It’s the most powerful marketing tool an extremist could ever hope for because by design social media reflects a narrow worldview filtering out anything that challenges our beliefs while constantly validating our convictions and amplifying our deepest fears.”

Hey, Big Spender...

US deficit soars to $691 billion, expected to top $1 trillion this year
The federal deficit in the first six months of the 2019 fiscal year reached $691 billion, according to new federal data, eclipsing the full-year deficits from 2015-2017.
The data released by the Treasury Department projects that deficits will reach $1.1 trillion by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.


It's 2019 and Americans can't agree on why Hitler was bad, because maybe half the country ate lead paint chips or some goddamned thing or maybe, just maybe, hear me out: maybe Fox News and their ilk are eating away at the brains of millions of gullible f*cking snake-oil addicts. - Jeff Tiedrich
