American Politics Thread: Orange is the new POTUS (Archive)

[Texas Flames Fan]

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration has issued a presidential permit to pipeline builder TransCanada to build the Keystone XL pipeline.

The State Department says that it determined that building Keystone serves the U.S. national interest. That's the opposite conclusion to the one the State Department reached during the Obama administration.

The State Department says it considered foreign policy and energy security in making the determination.

Yeah, he was ordered out in 2000. Been illegal for 16+ years.

Helen’s husband, Roberto Beristain, came to the U.S. illegally from Mexico in 1998, and subsequently received documentation to work in the U.S. and has been checking in with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But in 2000, he accidentally crossed over into Canada on a trip to Niagara Falls, and ended up being detained, and was told he had to leave the U.S. He didn’t, because Helen was pregnant at the time, according to Indiana Public Media. Since Roberto remained in the country instead of voluntarily deporting himself, ICE then had the authority to take him into custody. When ICE stumbled upon this incident in February of this year, they did just that, and sent him from his home in Granger, Indiana, to a detention facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He is set to be deported on Friday.

I don't know, when the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee has come out and said he's voting no that's not a good omen for Trumpcare passing. It may pass eventually, but it seems like today it will fail.

But so far, Congress’ investigation has turned up no evidence that the organization profited from fetal tissue donations, and 13 states that opened their own investigations have cleared Planned Parenthood of wrongdoing. Eight more states declined to even investigate the nonprofit, citing a lack of evidence.
...
But Daleiden lost his battle in January, when a grand jury in Texas that was supposed to be investigating Planned Parenthood cleared it of wrongdoing and indicted him instead.
...
Even Donald Trump offered words of praise for Planned Parenthood, and he still won enough votes to secure the GOP nomination.

Sometimes I just want to go out and provide for my family, but then I remember that Planned Parenthood is out there and I physically can't get out of bed and go to work.

It's unbelievable how much the fact that Planned Parenthood even exists has an direct effect on my day to day life.

Maybe I should forward them that video? If you decide to watch it make sure its before lunch.

Looking forward to seeing the budget and PPFA losing funding moving forward.

Ben Carson was buying quite a few, he was buying in bulk.

I wonder if Ben bought Donald Trumps girlfriends abortion that time, he had an unwanted pregnancy on his hands, and used the freedom of choice that he had.

They actually don't. Not that you'll admit it. You still haven't responded to the last time you were objectively wrong
