Another Oops moment for our beloved Felon #47.

[QUOTE]Trump administration reverses course, will reinstate international student visas/QUOTE]

I was speaking to a close friend yesterday on this topic who in closing said that without international students, the American public universities will go broke.

But this is not a done deal yet.

[QUOTE]Wire reports state the DOJ said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is creating a new policy for international students studying in the United States under F-1 visas and until the policy comes to fruition, no students will have their visa records canceled solely because of criminal history checks./QUOTE]

Trump’s approval rating is lower than the ‘worst president in history,’ new poll says
https://www.masslive.com/news/2025/0...poll-says.html

Yet there are some here who insist they are "smarter" than the rest of us who still sing his praises. Sad.

A Red State Begged Trump For Help. He Said No — And Now They’re Screwed.
Trump-supporting Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is stuck in a pretty awkward position.

Sorry, Ugly Sarah!

Granted, she ain't no beauty queen, but doesn't that nickname have a Trumpian tone to it? And do we really want to lower ourselves to that level?

Indeed. I'll stick with Sarah Hillbilly Sanders.

When will they wake up and realize he wants all the money for himself and his rich friends. Much rather spend for a military parade then help people effected by a disaster.

One of the small but still damaging harms that Trump has done is normalize namecalling.

She’s ugly on the inside. Donny’s former propagandist, a hate-monger extraordinaire.

In politics, people will always emulate what works and Trump's demeaning name-calling seems to work. That said, Democrats are not nearly as bad as Trump and his minions in this regard. Hell, every single person they disagree with is a "Marxist," even if it's a federal judge appointed by Trump himself.

Or, as a friend of ours from Rancho Mirage told us, "Donald Trump has made it okay to behave like an asshole."

I don't think it's actually all that small a damage.
