Yeah, after the Iranians were gone, 100 Marines showed up with tear gas.

Many Republican governors to continue accepting refugees in defiance of Trump regime

Missouri governor says state will accept refugees
BY ZACK BUDRYK - 12/31/19 04:53 PM EST

[ The Trump regime (and Trump immigration and refugee policy head Stephen Miller) wants zero refugees in the US. Trumpsters believe that refugees make America dirty (Tucker Carlson) . ]



Missouri Gov. Michael Parson (R) said Monday that the state will accept refugees after President Trump signed an executive order allowing governors to opt out of doing so, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The executive order stipulates that any governors declining refugees must publicly say so. More than 30 governors had said they would accept them as of Dec. 22, but several Republican governors, including Parson, had not yet made their intentions known with a Jan. 21 deadline looming, according to the publication.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) also confirmed his state will continue accepting refugees on Monday, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

"Missouri has a long and rich history of immigration, dating back to America's earliest explorers, fur traders, and missionaries," Parson said in his letter Monday to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

"Today, Missouri's population includes thousands of refugees who have become vital members of our communities," he added, noting that the state has resettled 18,000 from 45 countries since 2002.

The state, Parson added, will "continue to work hard to ensure refugees become a thriving part of our communities, and I am confident this demonstration of compassion will mark the first step in these immigrants becoming patriotic and productive fellow Americans."

Anna Crosslin, president and CEO of the International Institute of St. Louis, which assists in resettling refugees, said the majority of refugees in 2020 will arrive in St. Louis and Kansas City, estimating up to 500 would settle over the next year, according to the newspaper.

In 2016, Lindsey Graham Said Trump Would “Destroy The Party For Decades To Come”

Lindsey Graham’s (fake) Conscience@LGsConscience

[ Graham was right. The GOP lost the House first, the Senate is coming up. ]


"65% of the Republican party would like to vote for somebody other than @realDonaldTrump. We're about to nominate the one person that would destroy the party for decades to come. I'd rather lose without Trump than try to win with him." Did I really say this?





5:00 AM - Dec 29, 2019

Everything that’s posted online stays there forever, right? That’s certainly the case for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“65% of the Republican party would like to vote for somebody other than Donald Trump. We’re about to nominate the one person that would destroy the party for decades to come,” Graham said on Face the Nation, a weekly morning public affairs program on CBS, in 2016.

“I’d rather lose without Trump than try to win with him,” he continued.

Now a fiercely ardent Trump defender, the Republican senator claimed earlier this month that he would not pretend to be a “fair juror” in a Senate trial of Donald Trump, and would do everything in his power to make the impeachment die quickly.
