What stupid shit has Trump done today?

I was recently asked by a rich Trumpist (lot of them over here), regarding the recent rhetoric against poor migrants, what do poor people contribute to society?
Even after Trump's gone, this kind of attitude and elitist fuckwittery is going to take a long time to disappear :(
 
I am sorry but I have not seen "Mad Max". (Sad Confessions of Cultural Ignorance) :(
Are you taking the piss? You've never seen Mad Max??
ETA: Sorry. Watch the first two (with Mel Gibson). Post apocalyptic films about the results of a breakdown in society produced by an unnamed crisis. They're both great but the second one's probably the best.
Further edit: The writer/director (George Miller) was a junior doctor. He saw his senior colleagues had become worn out by things they'd experienced so he got out. And became a writer/director. That's were the character of Max came from. Originally he was supposed to be a journalist but they turned him into a cop.

No, I am not taking the piss. No.

Genuinely. :( I really have not ever bothered to see "Mad Max" films. I vaguely assumed they were rubbish.

Now I learn that I am wrong, and that is good. Thanks, very genuine thanks. :)
 
Not strictly Trump but holy fuck

According to the report, the Executive Office for Immigration Review included a link to a blog post on the white nationalist website VDare in a morning news briefing that was emailed to immigration court employees earlier this week.

The blog post is about an effort to dissolve the National Association of Immigration Judges, a union representing employees of the immigration courts. The post refers to the New York Times as “lugenpresse”, a German term meaning “lying press” that was adopted by the Nazis to stigmatize Jews, communists, and critics of Adolf Hitler. In recent years the slur has regained popularity within the far right and white nationalists. The blog post also uses the word “kritarch” to refer to judges, a reference to a system of governance involving rule by judges in ancient Israeli history and an apparent invocation of anti-semitism.

“VDare’s use of the term in a pejorative manner casts Jewish history in a negative light as an Anti-Semitic trope of Jews seeking power and control,” Ashley Tabaddor, the union president, wrote in a letter to the EOIR about the incident, according to BuzzFeed News. “Publication and dissemination of a white supremacist, anti-semitic website throughout the EOIR is antithetical to the goals and ideals of the Department of Justice.”

“The daily EOIR morning news briefings are compiled by a contractor and the blog post should not have been included,” a spokesman for the justice department told BuzzFeed News.

VDare is a virulently anti-immigrant website that promotes white nationalism, white supremacy and anti-Semitism. It was founded by Peter Brimelow, a British immigrant to the US, and is named after Virginia Dare, who is supposed to be the first English child born in the Americas. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes it as an “an anti-immigration hate website”.


The justice department did not immediately respond to additional queries from the Guardian.

Trump threatens to dump ISIS prisoners in Europe if US call to repatriate them is ignored

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump issued a stark warning to his European allies, saying he would release foreign ISIS fighters captured by US troops into Europe if their home countries refuse to repatriate them.

Is the US Army going into the people smuggling business now?
