Was flicking through US politics on YouTube last night and came across RM talking about one Scott Lloyd, one of Trump's 'best people' appointees.
What a despicable person, not only is he an advocate of anti abortion but also contraceptives. Now I don't have a huge problem with his personal beliefs as long as it doesn't interfere with doing his job according to the law.
Decided to do a bit more reading about him. He was appointed to be in charge of refugee settlement (no previous experience in the area which I presume is the norm).
He withheld abortion (which is legal) rights to teenagers that had become pregnant as a result of rape. Kids as young as 12! He was taken to court over one 17 year old that he did everything in his power to stop. Instead of offering proper counseling to these young females, he only authorised counseling from anti abortion services. He wouldn't allow them access to doctors appointments, they were basically locked up. He was ordered by a judge to not obstruct and the girl won her case and had the abortion.
It has since been discovered that he ordered his staff to prepare weekly spreadsheets (some 28 pages) on the girls detailing their last menstrual period, whether sex was consensual or not including rape, when they were due and offered the same counseling service despite a judge ordering that he desist.
He is also one of the people that was in charge of the children in detention that are still missing.
Perhaps because of the publicity, he was removed from his position but still works in the department. Should have been sacked!
Horrible person and have avoided using 'human being'!

Welcome to the thread. They're going to love you. I can see Downhill tearing out his pink hair and screaming at the world.

Well articulated reasoning too, really changed my mind.
You post this literally only 1 day after one of the biggest terrorist attacks in the west in decades. The irony is mindboggling. Who has a goldfish memory again?
Us trade deficit is now the highest in 10 years.
Didnt trump run on trying to reduce the deficit? Werent tariffs and his new trade deals supposed to reduce the deficit? Funny how it did not. Instead the trade deficit went in exactly the direction all the economists said it would cos tariffs dont impact deficits and fiscal spending splurges increase them.
Slow clap for trump who thinks he knows better than experts.

When was the last islamist attack inside the US?
Swapping one form of western terrorism with another doesnt change anything. There are still people being murdered. The biggest terrorist attack outside of 911 in the us occured under trumps presidency and the school massacre in florida was driven by right wing ideology the trump fosters.
Trade deficits are never bad on their own. They are driven by investment and savings imbalances and have nothing to do with trade competitiveness. But trump doesnt know that. His supporters dont know that.
I can't find ANY islamist or islamist associated attack in US since Trump became president.
Hard to believe - maybe someone else can find?
btw - you are wrong about the origins of the school massacre in Florida

If I was living in the States, I wouldn't be as concerned with Islamist attacks as I would be about attacks from white, male shooters. How many of those have there been since Trump became president?

Apparently everything is Trump's fault except the record low unemployment

I take it that you are happy with manufacturing jobs being sucked out of the west as a result of these trade deals?
Which of you Russian Bots brought BF down 2 days before the season?
Ofcourse I am. It helps reduce poverty in low income economies and improves our real incomes by making products cheaper for us back home. It also frees up our labour pool to work on other things which are usually far more rewarding then basic assembly line work. Its a win win win scenario.
Nope that is his fault too and it may well come back and bite them.
I'd be concerned about Russian bots on Reddit.

What about the middle class people that used to be able to raise a family on those manufacturing wages and now can't afford to raise a family or buy a house?
