Y’all, pardon my language, the fcking petty BULLSH!T this man comes up with is ridiculous. And stupid. And excessive. And over the top. And all those other words that will also say what a ridiculous amount of nonsense tRump is trying to lay down because his fee-fees were hurt. Awwww. Live with the humiliation, asshole. DAMN but the man pisses me off! (Say hello to Harvard President Alan Garber in the picture I used. Standing ovation.)
I suppose it’s good that I’m still getting bent out of shape with his crap. It shows that he still infuriates me, as well as you, the reader, or I hope it does. It shows I’m looking beneath the façade of the man WHO PAINTS HIS FACE ORANGE. But still, grrrrrrr. So, let’s get started, shall we? From CNN:
President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation to suspend international visas for new students at Harvard University, the White House announced Wednesday, in a dramatic escalation of its efforts to block foreign nationals from enrolling at the elite university. The proclamation temporarily blocks the entry of nearly all new international Harvard students under visas most use to study at US universities or participate in academic exchange programs. It also directs the Secretary of State “to consider revoking” those visas – known as F, M, and J visas – for current Harvard students who meet the proclamation’s “criteria,” the White House said in a statement.
Really? Good grief! And what the hell would that criterion be? They don’t like the way you look. They don’t like your posts on Facebook, or Instagram, or Xitter, or, you get the idea. Students trying to get into the US are warned to wipe any and all social media on their phone, as well as the phone numbers of their contacts. Geesh! And just how are they supposed to get some of that information back? But if there is the slightest suspicion about any one of those phone numbers, WHAM. You’re going to get denied.
They’re coming here to learn, and maybe get to stay and work for something worthwhile. Research would certainly be worthwhile. Research is generally trying to find a cure for something, or vaccines, all that good stuff that makes us a leading light. Well, Agent Orange doesn’t want that, so if there is the *slightest* suspicion, well. Forget it. Snuff that light. And by the way, did you know the US is bleeding talent into other countries? We’re losing scientists and teachers, at least that I know of, thus far. The other countries are MORE than happy to have them. They’ve even found discreet ways to attract that talent. *ahem* but back to our story. I’m not covering the entire article, as this column would be hy00ge if I did, so no. And now, more from CNN:
The move throws Harvard’s ability to enroll international students – which make up about 27% of the student body – into doubt once again just days after a federal judge blocked the administration’s last attempt targeting foreign students at the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university.
While Harvard has argued in legal filings that White House orders were behind the Department of Homeland Security’s effort to revoke its ability to host international students, this is the first time Trump has gotten directly involved in the dispute at the center of his broader battle against elite US academics. Trump’s Harvard proclamation reflects a clear attempt to frustrate the school’s recent success in court against the White House. Last week, a judge temporarily blocked the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to drop Harvard from SEVP, which would have made it impossible for the university to host any international students.
Harvard “will continue to protect its international students,” its spokesperson told CNN. “This is yet another illegal retaliatory step taken by the Administration in violation of Harvard’s First Amendment rights.”
Go, Harvard! Keep on fighting, please. We’re behind you! I think any worthwhile support that goes against El Presidente Imbécil is great! And I expect we are all doing our part, no matter how small or large it may be. Our efforts are valued, even if only to ourselves. It’s worth it, y’all. It’s worth it. Thanks for sticking with me!

Friends, we’re in a dark passage here. We started losing traffic last November, when the entire country got fed up with politics. Added to that have been my health problems over the past two months. We’re falling behind financially. If you can help in any way, it would be appreciated. I’m doing my best to get back in the saddle again. Thank you.
Trump is just blowing smoke, I guess it make him feel better, for about five minutes. What a miserable PoS. He’s just showing his own weakness — none of this is going to stick. It’s so petty and so stupid. He’s becoming a parody of himself, which was already a parody of an actual human.
I hope so. I’m concerned about what he’s going to do next because there are some big court cases coming out that tRump might very well lose. Well, I hope he loses. I’m not even going to try and guess at this point. I wish I could.
Is it possible for Harvard to withdraw the diplomas and degrees bestowed on ALL Drumpf Administration personnel or Drumpf’s legion of Congressional sycophants who attended Harvard? What would happen to a lawyer who attended Harvard if the school revoked his diploma and said it was no longer an official document?
I think the applicable word here is “OUCH”. My goodness, that would be nassssssssssssssssssty and I LOVE IT. Too bad Harvard is better than that. But it’s still lovely. 😉
