IMPEACH the psychopathic narcissistic immature cheeto faced bully. He has lied over 2000 times to the american people, the people he put in cabinet positions have no business being there, The nepotism is appaling and does not belong in government. he deserves no latitude.

LOCK THE PRICK UP.

God I can't wait until Mueller nails that pathetic excuse for a human being.

What happens when that doesn’t happen? I wish it would if only to remove the untouchable status politicians enjoy but I honestly don’t see it happening.

Do you think we should secure our border?

What is the topic, it’s gone all over the place. It was argued that the wall is horrible for minorities, I think it’s relevant to know if we should have border security.

Fskimospy is dodging it, I’d be curious what his answer would be. He won’t give it though.

The wall was on the list as it is a method of border security. The question is relevant you just don’t want to answer it for some reason.

Do you think we should secure our borders?


That was what Commodus listed and that is what Trump is after. Relevant question, feel free to answer.

False. You are attempting to redefine the question. We already covered why the wall was bad, you just aren’t willing to admit it.

Do you think he’s turning down all of the black applicants?
Do you think white people are the only people that can be found to work there?

Do you think the demographics of qualified applicants changed that much from Obama to Trump?

Do you think it is an accident the intern staff went from diverse to almost all lily white

Do you think that kind of "accident" could happen twice in a row?

This is classic "But Whataboutism" The topic was the fact that there is only one person of color in the intern class and the rest are lily white. Since the topic cannot be won you change the topic by saying, But What about..............

Hopefully this video embeds right, if not go to 6:31 in.

" A commitment to the mission of the Trump Administration."

I pulled that off of a Whitehouse.gov website. In large part it seems to answer the question of why there is a preponderance of white kids in the photo.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/get-involved/internships/selection-process/

All I'm wondering about now is if those kids truly understand what the full scope of the mission of the Trump administration is. And if they do, well, shame on them.

First, the Obama administration had the same phrasing on their internship website. So this is a non-starter. From the white house archives:
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/participate/internships/selection
Selection as a White House Intern is based on the following criteria:

  • A commitment to public service
  • Demonstrated leadership in the community
  • A commitment to the mission of the Obama Administration
The selection process is highly competitive. Applicants are encouraged to submit a thorough application that illustrates qualifications, character, and commitment to public service. A completed application includes two essay questions, two letters of recommendation, and a resume.


Second, to show bias in the intern selection process you would need to know the ratio of minorities and gender to white candidates versus who was selected. If it is the same than it is a non-starter.

Third, I would expect more minorities to apply for the Obama internship since they would align with Obama's mission which would explain the lower number in the Trump internship. It's not necessarily that more white candidates applied or were selected, it could be less minorities applied.

I'm not sure why the left is so hysterical over this issue.

What's up with HuffPost using a wall of tweets instead of writing an article.

None of this in any way attributes economic growth in 2017 to those initiatives.

How many times do I have to ask you to back up your original point?


Companies plan their budgets based on regs in the works. Yes, it does drive economic growth.

I’m not asking about the wall (which is a form of border control), I’m asking you

Do you think we should secure our borders?


Very simple question. That you won’t answer. Hmmm

Right, you’re trying to redefine the question. No thanks.
