FizFashizzle posted:I mean to be fair, if Trump truly wants to shut down the government for idiotic reasons and make decisions based on perceived slights, real and imagined, then new gingrich is the man for the job. Would he? Some regressives are only conservationists so they can shoot animals. tax: some day maybe.

mcmagic posted:So Trump is a fat lazy gently caress too. They are perfect for each other. Physically Trump is to Newt as Obama is to Trump. Newt is a slug. I really don’t see him doing any kind of high stress job without cracking relatively quickly. He hasn’t been in the weeds since 98.

he's also hella greener in general than the rest of the modern GOP, not that that's hard edit: thinking on it, for people who put climate change as their top priority, he's probably the best possible Trump CoS pick, even though he's garbage and potentially somewhat effective on uh everything else Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Dec 13, 2018 |

Maybe, but then the system completely breaks down because you absolutely need an actual Chief of Staff. And while Newt has his own brain worms, he is still a very intelligent person. I can’t see him enjoying too much face-to-face time with Trump. Ideology only goes so far. Kind of like how Laura Loomer can’t even find a Nazi desperate enough to date her. At some point these people are insufferable to even their allies.

Obviously not the NRA, of course. When I say real hunter, I do not mean Don Jr paying thousands to murk an endangered animal, or dumb rednecks in Alabama sitting in a high hide using blinders on deer.

I mean, there's no reason to give the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt here. There's a pretty obvious pattern of redefining, changing, and vacating policies in order to increase the number of people who are administratively vulnerable to deportation. There's been high profile stuff like DACA and asylum seekers in Mexico, but there have also been more niche stuff like rejecting certain documentation as proof of citizenship along the Mexican border, removing long-standing protections for groups like Haitian refugees, attempts to retroactively deny citizenship status due to unrelated "fraud", and so on. Yeah, sure, Vietnam refugees with criminal records who never naturalized is probably not a huge population. But someone is pushing these policy changes, and they're pushing the envelope to reduce the number of people who are protected. It's not about the one lady who was involved in fraud during her naturalization process, it's about establishing that citizenship can be revoked. It's not about Haitian refugees specifically, it's about establishing that the executive can arbitrarily remove protections. It's not about Vietnam, it's about establishing that deportation rules regarding criminal history override other refugee policies, and that's absolutely, 100% something that's justified to freak out over.

Newt Gingrich lied for years about which college he taught at but this was pre internet i guess. Newt shut down the government because he didn't like where Clinton had him sit on airforce one.

Dead Reckoning posted:Pretty much, yeah. I get that a lot of people, correctly, don't trust the Trump Administration one bit, but people worried about the safety of their Vietnamese friends and family should know that they aren't in immediate danger. It was maybe two or three pages ago I warned against making exactly your post, and here's why: The loving Article posted:The August decision to change course, reported to a California court in October, appeared to put such moves at least temporarily on ice, but the latest shift leaves the fate of a larger number of Vietnamese immigrants in doubt. Now all pre-1995 arrivals are exempt from the 2008 agreement’s protection.

Strange Poon posted:Russell Brand has, a couple times, told a story where Donald Trump urges him to "take anything you want" out of his office which had a few pieces of crazy memorabilia. I was fascinated about this and read up on it and Brand said one of the things in the office was Ali's championship belt and I thought how bad rear end it would be to be able to just take that, nut then I realized that there's virtually a 100% chance everything that looked cool in Trump's office was a fake.

I went to Fox News' website because I thought it had to be fake. But no, the first lady of the united states just drastically changed her hair color and apparently changed her face. Which is fine, but surprising to see on a random Wednesday night.
