Trump recently complimented Joseph Boakai, the president of Liberia, on his ‘beautiful’ command of the English language and asked him where he learned it.

Well Trump wouldn't be familiar with the concept of a country with a functional education system.

Also, he’s unfamiliar with the concept of a native-born African learning to speak English in Africa. This is what is known as ‘racism’.

Thank goodness he has a plan.
Trump calls for alarms after deadly Texas floods
President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed support for flood alarms in Texas and said he thinks “everyone’s doing a great job” responding to a disaster that has left more than 100 people dead and 170 people missing.
“After having seen this horrible event, I would imagine you’d put alarms up in some form, where alarms would go up if they see any large amounts of water or whatever it is,” Trump told NBC News’ "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview Thursday.

Some sort of alarm about an insane person in power in a major world government would be nice...
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

A plan that was rejected by Gov Abbott almost ten years ago.
Another option might be not fucking gutting FEMA so that those who are impacted get help. But nooooo ... that's too nice and softy. We here in the Hill Country have these floods every year. This one was tragically huge. The Guadalupe River rose thirty foot in about an hour. Everyone here knows how the gullies channel waters; when I worked at the nature preserve I saw one that lifted the Pedernales at Hammett's Crossing by twenty-five feet, the day after the peak had passed. I can't say how fast it rose, but I can say that the torrent in the river was terrifying.
Water weighs 8.35 lbs/gal. When it gets moving in volume, nothing will stop it, you can only get the fuck out of the way. You can't fix what elephants do.

Quote:A US judge has once again blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order ending birthright citizenship for some US residents as a legal challenge moves forward.
A New Hampshire judge approved a class action lawsuit against Trump's executive order, and temporarily stopped the president's order from taking effect.
The class action lawsuit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of immigrant parents and their infants.
The decision comes weeks after the Supreme Court introduced limits on how and when universal injunctions are issued by federal courts. However, the decision still allows them through certain legal avenues.
The class action suit was introduced after the Supreme Court decision, in keeping with the new standards set by the court.
Still, the White House challenged the validity of the judge's ruling and said it would fight "vigorously" against what it said were "attempts of these rogue district court judges to impede the policies President Trump was elected to implement."
Spokesman Harrison Fields described the decision as "an obvious and unlawful attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court's clear order against universal relief" which "disregards the rule of law by abusing class action certification procedures".
The lawsuit argues Trump's order goes against the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which established that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside".

Lao Tzu
Under heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.
Yet for attacking the solid and strong, nothing is better;
It has no equal.
Ch. 78, Tao Te Ching
The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.
Ch. 8, Tao Te Ching
