So, where is the "winning" today?

In the last week the President of the United States has been schooled in how to lose a trade war, been found wordless on gun control, watched North Korea launch missiles an not seen anything wrong with that and been called out on inciting mentally unstable people to violence while backing away from the easy win of condemning White Supremacy. So whats he going to do about it??
Order the rounding up of 700 illegal immigrants, working in chicken processing plants in Mississippi. Way to distract the crowd. The local authorities (and these are Southerners) have been at great pains to point out that this was not requested by State powers. This came down from "the highest level" in Washingon. And boy that guy looked annoyed. Half a dozen chicken processing plants just lost their workforce.
Now I dont approve of the illegal immigrant workforce thing that America is so fond of. But the way of dealing with an ingrown toenail is NOT to chop off your foot.

@Sarabee Now we are in agreement. I love the idea of America. The constitution as a living document, the Bill of Rights, Lincolns Gettysburg address and the plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty all ring true to me and are to be aspired to. Its the lack of aspiring in the last few decades I am sorry for. The things that truly made America great were in those words.
