Sure makes you wonder!
We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

It isn't as if these folks were fleeing any type of danger or hardship. Amazingly, white S Africans are the largest land owners.

The Trump administration is facing backlash for its acceptance of white South African “refugees” into the U.S. while actual displaced groups facing violence and persecution have been locked out of the country and stranded.

Sure seems tone deaf ... or is it intentional callousness?
The President of the United States is pretty relaxed about the rest of us experiencing economic disruption so long as the world’s richest man can keep selling overpriced cars assembled for him by underpaid workers who get fired when they attempt to unionize.

The isolationism and reshuffling of the equilibrium of the western alliance is in play!
I just watched Macron's address to France.
It was urgent, impassioned and determined—and established Russia as a clear and present danger to Europe America can no longer be relied upon to help with.
Europeans are preparing for a possible imminent darkness. My heart breaks that we aren't with them.

I think the ABA should revoke the license of any attorney they feel is acting outside the bounds of the law or is being unethical.
This should include members of Congress who hold law licenses and folks in government (be it the justice dept or any other agency)
The law is the law - right?
