What next from Trump's America?

It is difficult to find much up-to-date news on this but I found this on Democracy Now:
The Department of Health and Human Services is refusing to disclose how many migrant children separated from their parents at the border they are still holding. Last week, HHS Secretary Alex Azar said 2,047 separated minors were still in the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. But the department has refused to give updated numbers even though the Trump administration is facing a July 10 court-imposed deadline to reunite all separated children under the age of 5 with their parents.

Another charity chief has said that this could take months, not days to reunite children with parents.

Sadly I suspect he has a lot of support for this

It’s unbelievable that this is still acceptable, shame on the man.

he has signed today to stop protection for bears and wolves, that can now be shot or killed in many ways without any checks or consequences.

one last post to you maryeliza54. No....it would be so rude, I would never forgive myself.

Bridgeit, in response to POGS post.

We can only hope that there are enough decent Republicans in positions of influence in the USA to moderate the excesses of Trump, and hopefully in time curtail his time in office.

I have found a short article saying a Judge has stated that children & mums must be reunited within a fixed period of time.
Let’s hope this will happen.

"a desire to take over the whole of GN with impenetrable posts."
Sometimes seems like that to me too. A bit like 'flooding'.

Has there been any more news about this situation, .?it seems to have gone quiet

Ohh Maryeliza ?

Well B it’s one of two things - a mistake or else a desire to take over the whole of GN with impenetrable posts.

Allygran1,why have you posted your latest comments on a Thread about human suffering?

"It seems to matter not how hard we try to keep to the topic, or stay out of the tit for tat, it always comes round to sledging the leave voters."
That's the whole point of the discussion, Ally. Except I'm not sure about the word 'sledging'. Looking it up, you're not so bad at it yourself.

POGS I am coming to the conclusion that post's on any thread from some remain voters (not all) seem to be an excuse to slate the leave voters, and label and other them.

It seems to matter not how hard we try to keep to the topic, or stay out of the tit for tat, it always comes round to sledging the leave voters.

I think we have a paradox here: The "unstoppable force meets the immovable object". The paradox is considered by some to be flawed, Wikipedia put's it this way:
"The paradox arises because it rests on two incompatible premises: that there can exist simultaneously such things as unstoppable forces and immovable objects. The "paradox" is flawed because if there exists an unstoppable force, it follows logically that there cannot be any such thing as an immovable object and vice versa.[1]" So once cancels the other out, or is one and the same.
Wikipedia give this nice cultural reference which I think applies in our circumstances here on Gansnet with the remain sledgers:
"In DC's film The Dark Knight (2008), the Joker references the irresistible force paradox in both his final scene, as well as his final dialogue between himself and Batman. The Joker attempts to ultimately explain the reason for Batman's inability to shed his Batman identity, saying, "You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you, huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irresistible_force_paradox

There is an escape of course POGS, we don't have to play. In another cultural reference on Wikipedia there is a solution:
In the film Imagine Me And You (2005) the irresistible force paradox is a recurring theme first mentioned by H and last referenced by Heck who compares Rachel's love for Luce as the unstoppable force and himself as the immovable object saying, "What you're feeling is the unstoppable force, which means I have to move."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irresistible_force_paradox

It’s a case of who blinks first methinks! The other option being the immovable object just does not exist therefore can be ignored.

ABC News reported that Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's personal lawyer and fixer, who is at the center of a probe by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, was parting ways with his legal team and was “likely to co-operate with federal investigators.”

It seems that many of those who have been close to Trump have reached the point where they no longer wish to be associated with him.

The US ambassador to Estonia has resigned in frustration over Donald Trump's hostility to Europe, leaving a scathing review of the US President's treatment of America's allies. James Melville, a 33-year career diplomat who was due to retire in a few months, wrote a damning Facebook post to friends in which he said: "It's time to go."

He criticised what he regarded as Mr Trump's unfair attacks on Nato and the EU but signed off saying he was confident America would one day return to being "right." "A Foreign Service Officer's DNA is programmed to support policy and we're schooled right from the start, that if there ever comes a point where one can no longer do so, particularly if one is in a position of leadership, the honorable course is to resign," Foreign Policy magazine quotes Mr Melville's post as saying. "Having served under six presidents and 11 secretaries of state, I never really thought it would reach that point for me."

"For the President to say the EU was 'set up to take advantage of the United States, to attack our piggy bank,' or that 'Nato is as bad as Nafta' is not only factually wrong, but proves to me that it's time to go."

Fennel, I believe that the " industrial isolation" of America is exactly what Trump wants. I have some sympathy with his policy towards global companies in stating that if they wish to sell into the United States then they will have to those products in America.

For too long those global companies have played one country off against another in wishing to produce in countries where workers rights and wages are very low and then to sell those goods in countries where wages and workers rights are high.

Many of the workers who produce those goods cannot afford to buy the products that they produce, while at the same time employment is reduced in countries that buy those goods with the top management in those companies being the only ones to gain in the long term.

The rest of Donald Trump's policies, I will leave thank you very much.

His actions could also be a return to US Isolationism. Which I vaguely remember reading about when studying American history at school.

If he didn't exist you just couldn't invent him, could you!?

It gets more and more far-fetched.

President Trump has declared that the European Union, Nato and the World Trade Organisation are bad for America, according to senior diplomatic sources.

I am beginning to wonder whether Trump is taking his orders direct from Vladimir Putin. Perhaps he owes him for the help he got in the election. Putin is all about de-stabalising the West and it looks as if Trump is following his orders.

2 years on and it's the b----y 'stuck record ' comments flying again I see by the same old , same old.

Brexiters are lacking in intelligence and Remainders are superior in intellect.

The '' Basket of deplorables' as Hillary Clinton called them.

Don't you ever bore yourselves as well as others.

[sharpintakeofbreath]
perhaps but every thread seems to end up with posts about Brexit. Probably even the knitting threads may do so eventually .... French knitting etc.

I don't think we could, Jalima as the two phenomena share a number of characteraistics and voter behaviours
