"Is your oath of office to Donald Trump, or is your oath of office to the Constitution?" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., asked Republicans.

I was under the impression the oath was to uphold the will of the people. Call me old fashioned but it seems like if a president is elected primarily on a single idea you have an obligation to support it. Even if the idea, is really, really fucking stupid.

Thousands of migrant children report they were sexually assaulted in U.S. custody
Thousands of migrant children who crossed the southern border into the U.S. have reported they were sexually assaulted while in government custody, according to Department of Health and Human Services documents released Tuesday by Rep. Ted Deutch's office.

In the past four years, 4,556 children said they were sexually assaulted while in the care of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, which takes custody of unaccompanied minors who cross the southern border alone and those who are separated from their families.

Allegations go back to 2015, meaning the reported assaults started under the Obama administration. But the allegations have increased in the past two years after the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy that led to at least 2,800 family separations flooding the department with additional children.

The data show the majority of the alleged assaults were carried out by other minors in custody, but at least 178 were carried out by staff.

"These documents detail an environment of systemic sexual assaults by staff on unaccompanied children," said Deutch, a Democrat from Florida, in a House Judiciary Committee meeting Tuesday. "These documents tell us that there is a problem with adults, employees of HHS, sexually abusing children."

Cdr. Jonathan White, who has overseen the care of migrant children at Health and Human Services, responded angrily to the congressman, saying the government officials at his department have never been accused of such a crime.

"Those are not HHS staff in any of those allegations," White said.

Instead, the department contracts with more than 100 local shelters that house and care for children in its custody. Those facilities are inspected by state child welfare officials, and criminal charges can be filed against employees by state or federal prosecutors.

The number of reported sexual abuse incidents involving detainment staff against migrant children has increased in 2018:

When a sexual assault is reported to Health and Human Services, White said, it is investigated fully, and those found to be legitimate are referred to the Justice Department of Justice for prosecution.

Data provided by Deutch's office show that of the 4,556 complaints investigated by Health and Human Services, 1,303 – 29 percent – were sent to the Justice Department for further review. White said the vast majority of those cases later proved to be unfounded.

"Any time a child is abused in the care of (the refugee resettlement office) is one time too many," White said Tuesday.

The data were included as part of a large set of documents provided to the Judiciary Committee on the eve of Tuesday's hearing. At the start of the hearing, Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., complained about the last-minute document dump, arguing that it took the administration six weeks to answer their questions.

"The Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security until last night stonewalled the legitimate request for information by this committee," Nadler said. "That is absolutely inexcusable."

The House Oversight and Reform Committee took it a step further Tuesday, issuing the first subpoenas against the Trump administration after failing to receive answers on separated migrant families that were first posed in July. The subpoenas were directed at Attorney General William Bar, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

"When our own government rips vulnerable children, toddlers and even infants from the arms of their mothers and fathers with no plan to reunite them, that is government-sponsored child abuse," said committee chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. "It is our job to step in and protect those children. Further delay is not an option."

I must say it is indeed entertaining to see the trumpets give up on defending him and simply spam the thread with irrelevant posts about people not named Trump.

Michael Cohen testifying before House Oversight Committee:

"He once asked me if I could name a country run by a black person that wasn’t a ‘shithole.’ This was when Barack Obama was President of the United States. While we were once driving through a struggling neighborhood in Chicago, he commented that only black people could live that way. And, he told me that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid.”

Cohen says Trump knew about WikiLeaks email dump beforehand

Leaked prepared testimony
Michael Cohen's written testimony to House oversight committee

Cohen says in the prepared testimony that he was in Trump’s office in July 2016 when longtime adviser Roger Stone called Trump. Trump put Stone on speakerphone and Stone told him that he had communicated with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and that “within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign,” according to Cohen.

Trump responded by saying “wouldn’t that be great,” Cohen says.

That month, WikiLeaks released thousands of emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee’s server.

Interesting. The game most Trump supporters play is to pretend that he is not an outright racist, even though they know that he is, rather than just admit it. Your honesty is refreshing.

Do you identify openly as a White Nationalist or Supremacist?

A copy of an article with Mr. Trump’s handwriting on it that reported on the auction of a portrait of himself – he arranged for the bidder ahead of time and then reimbursed the bidder from the account of his non-profit charitable foundation, with the picture now hanging in one of his country clubs.​

Ol' Margaret had his number way back then.

You support Trump, right?

And you think he is a racist, right (that's what your post suggests)?

As I said, usually Trump supporters deny he is a racist, so I thought it was a possibilty that you were not a lying pussy like the rest of them and were a genuine, proud racist. It was a legit question that you've answered.

So if you're not a racist, why do you support a President that you think is racist?
