Trump and Miller going after legal immigrants...

Now the Trump administration wants to limit citizenship for legal immigrants

The most significant change to legal immigration in decades could affect millions of would-be citizens, say lawyers and advocates.

by Julia Ainsley / Aug.07.2018 / 6:01 AM ET

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year.

Details of the rulemaking proposal are still being finalized, but based on a recent draft seen last week and described to NBC News, immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever used or whose household members have ever used Obamacare, children's health insurance, food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from obtaining legal status in the U.S.

Immigration lawyers and advocates and public health researchers say it would be the biggest change to the legal immigration system in decades and estimate that more than 20 million immigrants could be affected. They say it would fall particularly hard on immigrants working jobs that don't pay enough to support their families.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he would accept sexual favors from President Trump..not a joke

SEE IT: Sacha Baron Cohen goads Sheriff Joe Arpaio into saying he would accept sexual favors from President Trump

"America's Toughest Sheriff" has become Sacha Baron Cohen's latest victim.

Joe Arpaio, the disgraced former Arizona sheriff who was pardoned by President Trump last year, was tricked into saying he would accept a blow job from The Donald in an interview with the prankster that aired Sunday night.

Cohen, posing as Finnish "unboxing" celebrity named OMGWhizzBoyOMG, appeared to trap Arpaio by bringing up "hand jobs" on his Showtime show, "Who is America?"

"My first job was a hand job from my mother and it was newspapers," the brightly-dressed, red-haired OMGWhizzBoyOMG said, apparently trying to confuse Arpaio. "What was your first hand job?"

Later Baron Cohen asks, "If Donald Trump calls you up after this and says, 'Sheriff Joe, I want to offer you an amazing blow job,' would you say yes?"

"I may have to say yes," Arpaio answered.

Arpaio calls Trump a "great man." When asked during the interview if he thinks President Trump has had a "golden shower" — a reference to unconfirmed allegations involving Trump and prostitutes in a Russian hotel room — Arpaio said "it wouldn't surprise me."

By CHARLOTTE CARROLL August 04, 2018

Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan responded to President Donald Trump's tweet that most likely referenced him and LeBron James.

“I support LJ," Jordan said in a statement, according to Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania. "He’s doing an amazing job for his community."

Late Friday night, Trump tweeted about James' interview with Don Lemon on CNN.

In the interview, James discusses his I Promise School, a public elementary school that he opened in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. James also talked about social issues and Trump's comments about sports in the past.

In response, Trump tweeted "Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike!"

This is why Trump attacks black athletes.....

cause he views all black men like this, even if they are innocent....

Trump had a full-page ad promoting execution of a group of Latino and Black children, who later turned out to be innocent. Trump paid close to $90,000 on full page ads in 4 newspapers. This incident is referred to as the Central Park Five. There is a very detailed Ken Burns Documentary about this as named, “The Central Park Five.” Trump actively ran a race based campaign against these youth, that still continues to this day. Trump still claims that they are guilty, even after DNA evidence exonerating them, a confession by the actual perpetrator, and the city reaching a 41 million dollar settlement with the 5.

Wow, is it possible that Trump is 3 distinct types of narcissists??!! YEP

Lindsay Dodgson Jan. 19, 2018, 5:45 AM/Business Insider



Exhibitionist narcissists-"They think they're amazing — they think themselves to be smarter, better-looking, more powerful than other people, and they pretty much believe it," she told Business Insider. "Even with their friends and peers, they believe themselves to be one step up."

Exhibitionist narcissists don't tend to be insecure, Thomas said. When they aren't bragging about themselves, they're putting down everyone else. They are often carelessly rude and cruel about people and tend to ignore or not even notice how others react to it.

Closet narcissists-Closet — or covert — narcissists want to be special but are conflicted about it. Like exhibitionists, closet narcissists also feel incredibly entitled, but they are also much more insecure.

"A closet narcissist doesn't say, 'I am special,'" Greenberg said. "They point to something else — a person, a religion, a book, a dress designer — and they are special, so they feel special by association."

She added: "When someone feels special because they have a designer thing on and other people can tell, that's special by association. For closet narcissists, they usually have self-doubt, and they are looking for the person they can idealize."

They also tend to behave in a much more passive-aggressive way. For instance, they are likely to set their romantic partners up for frustration all the time. They may say they will do something but not do it, then get a kick out of other people's reactions.

"They do what they want to do when they want to do it," Thomas said. "And then they make themselves look like the victim."

Constantly saying one thing and doing another can make people close to a closet narcissist feel gaslighted, where they start to question reality and feel as if they're going crazy. The closet narcissist may start blaming their partner for things they didn't do, but the partner can end up believing it because their sense of the world has become so warped.

Toxic narcissists-Toxic — or malignant — narcissists take it a step further. Not only do they want the attention, but they also want everyone else to feel inferior. They tend to be sadistic and enjoy hurting other people, thriving on their fear.

"The toxic narcissist is like the evil queen in 'Snow White,'" Greenberg said. "When the mirror says Snow White is prettier than her, she decides to kill Snow White and keep her heart in a box."

Toxic narcissists find it entertaining to set people up and watch them fall, something Thomas calls an extra layer of sadistic behavior.

"It's bordering on that antisocial personality disorder coming out of narcissistic personality," she said. "Folks who are perfectly fine destroying careers of other people, basically fine with just imploding people emotionally, physically, and spiritually."

There tends to be a lot of chaos around a toxic narcissist, Thomas said, because they enjoy it and thrive on feeling that they have created havoc for someone else.

"Harmony is not their goal," she said. "We're worn out by it, but they actually gain energy through it. That's why we see them spinning different issues and different dramas with people. They always say, 'I hate drama,' but they're in the center of it every time."
