Trump’s Biz Fires Its Longtime Undocumented Workers

"Unlike several other golf courses in New York, the Trump Westchester club does not use E-Verify, on online system that allows employers to check with the U.S. government about whether individuals have the right to work in the United States.” https://t.co/Hg1I9YIuO1

Here's the original Post story: @realdonaldtrump's clubs employed illegal immigrants for years, but began searching them out and firing them during the shutdown. 12 fired at a single NY golf club. https://t.co/keSdmtFA5F https://t.co/7juITuUx3U

“I started to cry,” said Gabriel Sedano, a former maintenance worker from Mexico who was among those fired. “I told them they needed to consider us. I had worked almost 15 years for them in this club, and I’d given the best of myself to this job.” https://t.co/ZZwmGixcIQ

No Collusion

The Bellman’s rule: “What I tell you three times is true!”

Kelly Ramsdell Fineman told us …

… that President Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Wharton were huge fans of the Snark. On one visit to the White House, Wharton learned of the following exchange that occurred between the President and the Secretary of the Navy (undoubtedly unaware of Carroll’s poem, or at least unaware that Roosevelt was quoting):

During discussion, Roosevelt said to the secretary of the Navy,

“Mr. Secretary, what I tell you three times is true!”

The Secretary replied stiffly,

“Mr. President, it would never for a moment have occurred to me to impugn your veracity.”

So far for three times. But 16 times is fine too:

Trump sat for 30 minutes at his golf club with the Times. He said “no collusion” 16 times https://t.co/BOwHyvlCUb

001    “Just the place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried,
002        As he landed his crew with care;
003    Supporting each man on the top of the tide
004        By a finger entwined in his hair.

005    “Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
006        That alone should encourage the crew.
007    Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
008        What I tell you three times is true.”

329    “’Tis the voice of the Jubjub!” he suddenly cried.
330        (This man, that they used to call “Dunce.”)
331    “As the Bellman would tell you,” he added with pride,
332        “I have uttered that sentiment once.

333    “’Tis the note of the Jubjub! Keep count, I entreat;
334        You will find I have told it you twice.
335    ’Tis the song of the Jubjub! The proof is complete,
336        If only I’ve stated it thrice.”

 

The Bellman’s Rule is stated in Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark, line #7 and line #335. I said it in Lua – wrote it in Python, I made that indeed, but I wholly forgot (when finally done), that Haskell is what you need! So, here is an example for how to implement that rule:

#! /usr/bin/haskell
import Data.List
statementList :: [String]
statementList =
  ["No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"I am a stable genius!"
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"1+1=2."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"No collusion."
  ,"Collusion is not a crime."
  ,"Collusion is not a crime."
  ,"Collusion is not a crime."
  ]
atLeastThrice :: [String] -> [String]
atLeastThrice sL =
  [head grp | grp <-
    group $ sort sL, length grp >= 3]

Result (if loaded and executed in GHCi):

*Main> atLeastThrice statementList
["Collusion is not a crime.","I am a stable genius!","No collusion."]
