The reason why I answered your post, Shiny, even though you posted RIGHT AFTER my post which contained in black and skyblue exactly what you were demanding is this:

I've been trying to point out that just because one "side" is bad doesn't make the other "side" good, or even marginally better. I think a lot of you are stuck in thinking of this as a matter of 'teams', where there are only two in a game, and one side wins and the other side loses. But this isn't televised sports with all the glitz and commercialized team spirit. It's a quieter and more complex reality. We need to solve problems, not pick teams.




SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

What problem (your word, not mine) is Trump "solving" here? Trump leaves the fate of nearly 100,000 Indian H-1B spouses in a limbo again

For the second time this year, the Donald Trump administration has deferred a decision on H4 visa-holders’ right to work in the US.

In March this year, the department of homeland security had pushed its decision-making timeline from February to June. And now that deadline has ended, leaving the fate of thousands of immigrant workers in the US hanging fire.

The H4 is a dependent visa category used by spouses of those holding the much sought-after H-1B long-term work visa. An outsized impact of this delay will be on Indians who hold nearly 80% of the H4s. Women, who account for nine in ten of the over 100,000 H4 visas issued annually, will particularly be affected, leaving them trapped in their “golden cages.”

For decades, spouses of H-1B holders could not work in the US or even get a social security number. This left many highly qualified women, who’d left behind established careers in India, idling away at home in the US.

Things changed a little in 2015, when the Barack Obama administration allowed H4 visa-holders whose spouses were awaiting green card approval to seek work permits themselves.

However, the relief was short-lived. Since he took power in January 2017, Trump has been considering a decision to scrap the rule.

Do you have a point, 1kiki/Signym? Or are you playing Socrates/Plato and taking the abstract position of a philosopher located far out in space (or East of Moscow) looking down from 100,000 miles high upon all the tiny humans and their petty squabbling in the USA?

1kiki/Signym, you always give off the strong stench of someone who knows none of the facts, likes to lie, cares nothing about outcomes, and wants to demonstrate that you are above the fray, so superior. Let me hit you with something real, that has hard facts, and deathly consequences. 1kiki, bring on your typical sneering attitude (and by the way, when are you and Signym suing me? I look forward to meeting your "lawyer" in court. Or at least getting a certified letter in my P.O. Box. Often Trump threatens to sue, then does not. Did you learn that intimidation technique from him?) Here we go with Trump being a Scumbag:

On May 20, Trump demanded on Twitter that the Justice Department “look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes.” The president, Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, and conservative media outlets, most notably Fox News, had been alleging for weeks that the FBI had used a spy to infiltrate Trump’s political campaign — even though they were unable to provide any credible evidence that this was true. Who needs facts when you are a philosopher? Make your own phony facts to fit your desires, so that your arguments can't be attacked!

The president of the United States has no formal authority to order the Department of Justice to conduct a criminal investigation. And in this particular instance, there was no evidence of wrongdoing that might rationalize the opening of such an inquiry. Moreover, Trump’s motives in demanding such an inquiry seemed intended to discredit an ongoing criminal investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller of the president himself and several of his top advisers and family members.

But Trump was determined to get his way. On at least three occasions, according to a senior US government official familiar with the matter, Trump brought up the issue personally with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, variously asking, cajoling, and demanding either that he investigate the purported spy or appoint a special counsel to more broadly look at alleged wrongdoing by DOJ and FBI officials who had pursued the Russia interference inquiry.

Do you have a point, SECONAL? Or are you playing Socrates/Plato and taking the abstract position of a philosopher located far out in space (or East of Austin) looking down from 100,000 miles high upon all the tiny humans and their petty squabbling in the USA?

SECONAL, you always give off the strong stench of someone who knows none of the facts, likes to lie, cares nothing about outcomes, and wants to demonstrate that you are above the fray, so superior. Let me hit you with something real, that has hard facts, and deathly consequences. SECONAL, bring on your typical sneering attitude (and by the way, when are you going to stop implying we're anything related to Russia? Do you have any FACTS to back that up? Or are you a simple troll?) Here we go with OBAMA being a Scumbag:

So why don't we see you or JSF or SIGGY or any Trump supporter championing Obama's immigration policy?

I'm not 'championing' anything. I'm just pointing out that people who have a problem with Trump's immigration and deportation practices should have a greater problem with Obama's.
