A bit more clarity on the refugee. EO.

1- More than just afghans.

2- Afghans in transit stuck at US sponsored sites

3- If in the US can continue to receive benefits.

4- SIV (Afghan allies) are exempt.

This is per CNN. Highlights. URL included so Ana does not have a conniption.

Approximately 10,000 refugees had travel booked, which is now canceled, according to a source familiar with the data. A breakdown by country was not immediately available, but refugees generally come from a range of countries, including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Venezuela, Syria and Burma.

The cancellations could be particularly troubling for refugees whose medical exams or security checks, for example, are on the cusp of expiring. The memo also states that case processing is suspended, effectively shuttering the program.

“It is not clear what is going to happen to those individuals,” the official said. “They could be stuck there, we don’t know for how long.”

There are more than 1,000 Afghan refugees in Doha, the official said, and several thousand, up to as many as 10,000, in Pakistan. But there are other Afghan refugees in “many, many countries around the world … whose cases will now just be stopped,” the official said.

Special Immigrant Visa holders, which includes those who worked for the US abroad, are exempt. They can travel to the United States, according to the memo. Those refugees who are already in the United States can also continue to receive services.

Of those 10000 immigrants ...

That includes more than 1,600 Afghans who assisted America’s war effort, as well as relatives of active-duty U.S. military personnel.

Yeah he also called out OPEC, saying they need to lower the price of oil and that if they do, inflation will be conquered and the Ukraine War will end ... when he's the one who brokered the2020 deal with OPEC & Putin to limit production and raise the price of oil in the first place. When added to the already-awful economic conditions brought about by COVID, Trump's oil price increase well and truly got the inflation murderball rolling. When you look at the oil and inflation charts, inflation tracks right along with the oil price rise that was the result of that Trump - Putin - Bin Salman deal Trump pushed specifically to raise the price of oil.

Then it was time for Q&A and in typical Trump fashion, he rambled all over the place & didn't even attempt to answer the questions. Just told random stories that had little or nothing at all to do with the actual questions.

Credit where credit is due. Blind squirrel and all that. 

But if dumbshits like you truly have their finger on the pulse of America, we're all fucked anyway. So congrats.

It's difficult for me to get my head around how to even begin to process the staggering, colossal level of irony associated with Helo calling out other posters over errant predictions. Nostradumbass strikes again.

f the rules about changing the constitution ....

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has drafted a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to be president for a third term.

Other ways to stay in power

Amending the Constitution is not the only way that Trump could stay in power after his current term ends.

“Though the 22nd Amendment prohibits Trump from being elected president again, it does not prohibit him from serving as president beyond Jan. 20, 2029,” wrote Philip Klinkner, a professor of government at Hamilton College, in a recent article in The Conversation.

“The reason for this is that the 22nd Amendment only prohibits someone from being ‘elected’ more than twice,” Klinker wrote. “It says nothing about someone becoming president in some other way than being elected to the office.”

Klinker wrote that one hypothetical scenario would be for Trump to run for vice president in 2028, and have Vice President JD Vance run at the top of the ticket, for president.

“If elected, Vance could then resign, making Trump president again,” Klinker wrote. “But Vance would not even have to resign in order for a Vice President Trump to exercise the power of the presidency.

 

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution states that if a president declares that ‘he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office … such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.’ ”

 

Another scenario Klinker imagined is for Trump to encourage a family member to run for, and win, the White House. Once elected, they would serve as little more than a figurehead president, while Trump made the key decisions.

Truthfully, I thought this dumbfuckery deserved a separate thread because it throws away the constitution as we know it. But I'll let this play out, before throwing up and joining a resistance movement.
