En 43 años viviendo en Estados Unidos, este es el invierno que mas me ha estresado. Estoy contando los dias para irme de este jodio frio. A menos que ocurra algo que este fuera de mi control, este sera mi ultimo invierno viviendo fuera de mi isla.
The appearance followed the secretary’s Thursday boast that her team ran “1,000 simulations” and found Americans could eat healthily and cheaply on a diet of “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing.” It is important to note that this is the same Secretary of Agriculture who when people were concerned about the price of eggs, suggested the American people ought to raise chickens in their backyard. She’s basically telling us to starve and be grateful.
"Let Them Eat Cake", as the story goes, was French Queen Marie-Antoinette response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette's obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people.
If you're a citizen, you're now demanded to show your papers to any ICE agent who decides you're a problem, a threat, or just don't look white enough or Trump-supporter enough. ICE is even harassing and arresting Native Americans.
Already there have been many US citizens who didn't have proof of citizenship on them and were arrested and taken away, often violently, only to be released later with no charges once their citizenship was confirmed. Do you seriously think that's acceptable?
Maybe the Trump fascist government can come up with something that people can put on their clothes to identify them, like yellow stars. [insert sarcasm here].
American citizens should not have to show proof of citizenship or be assaulted by ICE. It is unconstitutional, yet here we are.
In reality this move is a symbolic one. If the United States chose to invade Greenland, there is not much anyone can do. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said: "Greenland is not for sale. Greenland does not want to be owned by the United States. Greenland does not want to be governed from the United States. Greenland does not want to be part of the United States.”
The idea of NATO countries having to protect someone from the United States shows what a global embarrassment we are right now. It is ironic that these troops SHOULD BE defending Europe from Russia, not the United States.
El Presidente Trump indultara a la exgobernadora de Puerto Rico Wanda Vazquez, quien se declaró culpable ante el Tribunal en un caso de corrupcion y soborno federal. El perdon presidencial tambien seria otorgado a los otros implicados en el caso. Tal para cual, un convicto federal defendiendo a otro.
ENGLISH:
President Trump is issuing a pardon to Puerto Rico's former governor Wanda Vazquez, who was previously indicted and plead guilty in a federal corruption and bribery case. Trump's presidential pardon includes her co-defendants found guilty on the case. Birds of a feather flock together.
