Trump Used Right Wing Terrorism to Promote breitbart.com

When the President tweets a link to a anti-Muslim Conspiracy Theory website (@BreitbartNews) instead of offering his condolences for the 49 Muslims killed in the New Zealand Christchurch Mosque terrorist attack, you no longer should call him "President."#NewZealandShooting

— Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) March 15, 2019

I'm just trying to imagine an acceptable scenario where the President of the United States is briefed on the horror unfolding in New Zealand and he goes to twitter to post a link to the Breitbart homepage.

— Schooley (@Rschooley) March 15, 2019

Maybe he was trying to link to a story about the attack and screwed it up. But from this news source? Or he's completely in a Mueller fugue state and didn't look at the news that doesn't involve him. Either way, I miss sanity. pic.twitter.com/P4UvuwRFMa

— Schooley (@Rschooley) March 15, 2019

And that's still his most recent tweet. Does no one in the White House communications office have the ability to post some sort of acceptable sympathetic reaction? The lack of even pretend leadership is stunning. pic.twitter.com/PDLmklEQ8w

— Schooley (@Rschooley) March 15, 2019

I know we have no expectations of basic decency and competency these days, but in a functional government you might expect not just an expression of sympathy to the victims, but assurances to American Muslims that every possible security measure will be taken here.

— Schooley (@Rschooley) March 15, 2019

So given the Breitbart tweet was deleted at some point this morning, can we assume hearing about the attack he went there for his news [spin] on it and accidentally tweeted a link?

— Schooley (@Rschooley) March 15, 2019

Not a measured statement, not official condolences, not a link to a page on reputable news site, not even a page on a *disreputable* news site. Just a link to a dodgy, culpable conspiracy site main page. Like a crazy uncle who just discovered the internet sending a rando email

Because he has no empathy

The link to the Breitbart page with its news on the rightist terror attack in NZ later was replaced by this tweet:

My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2019

John Bolton #NewZealandShooting: "We're obviously greatly disturbed by this, what seems to be a terror attack, this hate crime in New Zealand. We've been in touch with our embassy overnight."

— The Hill (@thehill) March 15, 2019

The Hill didn’t mention Trump’s first tweet which later was removed. That tweet just contained a link to Breitbart.

Trumps first response to that right wing terrorism was to tweet (1106390965038788608 from 2019-03-14) a link to the right wing Breitbart site. That tweet showed Trump's character too well and was replaced by https://t.co/6cfdnVp2Lf pic.twitter.com/cGfzH5WsfF

If muslims are killed, this kind of president doesn't waste any words for condolences.

Donald Trump Is a Liar

This is a lie.

— Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 26, 2019

Stephen King is right. And there already is a law which protects born alive infants: H.R.2175 – Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 (107th Crongress). Why does the liar Trump claim that children are “executed”. Why let US citicens such an evil man take the office of the POTUS? Physicians care about children. It is Donald Trump who doesn’t care about children (who are not close to him) and does not want to be confronted with suffering in a way which complicates his decision making.

※ Donald Trump doesn’t care about children who are taken away from their parents without filing any family data which would be required to maintain the option to reunite parents and children. Donald Trump tolerates kidnapping.
※ Donald Trump doesnt’t care about a sufficiently strict gun control which would protect children from getting killed by misused weapons.
※ Donald Trump doesn’t want to be confronted with suffering. Physicians, who have to deal with the suffering of parents and dying newborns, cannot escape from that suffering. Donald Trump does not want be confronted with suffering. He cowardly refused to listen to the “suffering tape” from Jamal Khashoggi‘s torture and death. Physicians cannot behave like this president. They cannot look the other way. In the scenarios covered by the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002, physicians have to make decisions for the suffering parents and the suffering newborn only. But if they would be be forced to protect themselves, they just would have to play safe with their ofn interests in mind. The objectives of palliative care for the newborn would have lower priority.
※ Donald Trump makes friends with very evil leaders who are responsible for murderous executions. Donald Trump praises the control these cruel autocrats exert over their people. Donald Trump praises the admiration these rulers are receiving.

Donald Trump is a very evil man himself.

.@doctorjenn and I spoke to @nytDeniseGrady about later abortion, why Sen. Sasse’s bill #S311 isn’t based in medical practice, and what doctors do in the very rare cases a fetus is delivered alive. It’s important to have facts centered in this discussion.https://t.co/AMlT6x1O5d

1/ So this has been angering me for several days.
This GREAT article explains FACTS. I'll break it down in the thread.
But for the record, .@SenSasse has received $68,623 in NRA funding.
So he only cares when he can shame a woman & criminalize a doctor.https://t.co/MUaIz9WeE8

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

2/ As the article takes pains to point out, LAWS ALREADY EXIST TO PROTECT INFANTS: the BIPARTISAN 2002 Born-Alive Infants Protection Act guarantees infants born at ANY stage full legal rights.
It does NOT include criminal penalties for doctors.
It does NOT shame women.

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

3/ So what is the point of this (FAILED) bill? It’s 2-fold:
1: to punish doctors to provide information or assistance with reproductive health
2: to bring attn. to “late pregnancy abortions” as a means of drumming up anti-abortion support ahead of elections & the supreme court.

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

4/ How does it punish doctors? Well the proposed bill would have fined & jailed doctors for not providing “appropriate care,” a term so poorly-defined that it nearly guaranteed punishing doctors helping women in this situation.

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

5/ The article ALSO points out: delivery-abortions are EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to occur—so unlikely, in fact, that NOT A SINGLE OB/Gyn I have asked have ever seen this happen: women in labor do NOT request abortions; & doctors do NOT provide it.

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

6/ In fact, only 1.4% of all abortions take place past 21 weeks–& only because something awful is discovered. Trust me-NO woman I have spoke to who has to make this decision makes it lightly.
Read this if you can; it is a REAL story, not propaganda: https://t.co/RV0N8zI9zw

— Meenakshi Bewtra (@DrsMeena) February 27, 2019

Last/ Sasse twisted words about nonviable pregnancies/severe fetal abnormalities to call it “infanticide.”
This is rich coming from a man who has accepted TENS of thousands of NRA$-how about focusing on THOSE “vulnerable children struggling for life,” Senator.

TBH, I'm not sure you can even call it satire anymore!

Can you really tell the difference between SNL and "President T"

Thank you, Mr. President, for making me aware of that show!

As you requested, I looked into it. Great Job. As you recognized, it's a "total Republican hit job". That collusion between Republicans and NBC could explain why the gap between parody and reality seems to be so small.

I wonder if a sitting President exhorting his followers that my role in a TV comedy qualifies me as an enemy of the people constitutes a threat to my safety and that of my family?

I fully agree, Mr. President Donald Trump, for "PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT" is harassment by the president. It should never be allowed to happen again.https://t.co/x4hPz548h6

Since the White House tried to manipulate (https://t.co/v2MZ2qKkVD) the transcript of the Putin & Trump press conference in Helsinki (2018-07-16), it is clear that the present president Donald Trump (supported by the GOP) tends to distort the truth. · https://t.co/6rlIHAHkDj

Trump and Bible Literacy

Trump and literacy already is an interesting issue. At least he fosters Bible literacy.

Numerous states introducing Bible Literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible. Starting to make a turn back? Great!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2019

For Anyone who is wondering why he is randomly tweeting about the Bible,

— It's because his support from Evangelicals is slipping in the Polls!

He went from 73% Approval 17 Disapproval last year to

“Impact of These Actions
on Vulnerable Children”

As far as I understand, Pence subscribes to Christian values. And Trump promotes bible literacy. But as for what they knowingly tolerate, both are evil nevertheless.

There are real solutions to finding the parents. The WH does not care and are not interested in resolving the problem which they created. Are they to incarcerate these children forever? What are they doing with them? What is their plan?

  • Separated Children Placed in Office of Refugee Resettlement Care (U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, Office of Inspector General, 2019-01-17)

    Why OIG Did This Review
            In the spring of 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented a “zero-tolerance policy” for certain immigration offenses. As a result, DHS separated large numbers of alien families, with adults being held in Federal detention while their children were transferred to the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
            On June 26, 2018, in a class action lawsuit, Ms. L v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a Federal District Courtordered the Federal Government to identify and reunify separated families who met certain criteria.
            Given the potential impact of these actions on vulnerable children and ORR operations, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted this review to determine the number and status of separated children (i.e., children separated from their parent or legal guardian by DHS) who have entered ORR care, including but not limited to the subset of separated children covered by Ms. L v. ICE. In a separate review, OIG is examining challenges that ORR-funded facilities have faced in reunifying separated children. On the basis of those findings, OIG plans to recommend solutions to improve ORR program operations.

  • Family Separation May Have Hit Thousands More Migrant Children Than Reported (New York Times, 2019-01-17)

    “This report confirms what we suspected: This cruel family separation practice was way bigger than the administration let on,” said Lee Gelernt, who challenged the policy in court on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union. “We will be back in court and ask the judge to order the government to explain these numbers,” he said.

  • Family Separation by the Numbers (ACLU, 2018-10-23)

    ※ How long have they been separated from their parents?
    For the children still in ORR care awaiting reunification, the median length of detention so far is 154 days — more than five months. Some have been in detention as long as a year. For example, one four-year-old child, “Luna,” was separated from her father for nearly 10 months before they were reunified in Guatemala on Sept. 28. This figure excludes separations where the child and the parent have decided to waive their right to reunification.
    ※ What was their age and gender?
    Of the initial pool of 2,654 separated children, the majority was male (64.5 percent). 1,033 of them were under the age of ten when they were detained, including 103 under five. The data furnished by the government shows a sharp drop off in the number of separated children between five and four years old.

 

The president and his Christian vice president need to study some Christian values. How could they have tolerated that almost 3000 children had been seperated from their parents (https://t.co/PKlYtwxUud) without the documentation required for reuniting them?
