ICE has decided that students in the country on student visas will have to depart the country if their schools remain fully online.

This is part of the answer to the question, Why does the GOP treat their base like morons?

Massive amounts of evidence.

And by the way, I wonder what ajax thinks of this representative of his race. You'd think a member of the supreme race would set a better example.

When Trump is asked why black people are dying at the hands of the police, he scolds the question and then says that it is worse for white people. His response is effectively, "white people, white people, white people...more white people, more white people"

If you think I'm exaggerating, just watch the clip.

White people

While black people disproportionately are the suffers of police misconduct, white people experience it too. And because the US's criminal justice system is so bad in general, while American whites don't have it as bad as American blacks, on average, they do have it bad compared to most of the rest of the developed world.

I'm not sure "white people are abused by police too" is the great defense of the police some people might imagine it to be.
